Energy Consumption Testing
Energy Consumption Testing One of the issues facing any consumer while buying an electricity appliance is to determine how much electricity will it consume. Most energy consumption claims made by manufacturers are highly exaggerated at best or false or misleading. For e.g each manufacturer of inverter AC claims any where from 30% to 70% energy […]
Solar Air-Conditioner for Night Time Operation
Solar Air-Conditioner for Night Time Operation Running an Air-conditioner directly on solar has always been a challenge. The standard solution available in the market involves a solar inverter with batteries and panels. The solar inverter can at best run an inverter AC and that also for a few hours a day. Most other times it […]
1.5 Ton (18000 Btu/hr) Air-conditioner for Load Shedding
A special 1.5 ton capacity split Air-conditioner has been developed at BU that can provide full cooling (1.5ton / 18000btu) for up to three hours during load shedding or grid failure without using batteries or a generator. The current inverter based ACs cannot be run on a UPS (despite tall claims by manufacturers) as the […]
Heat Exchanger for Heat Recovery System
Heat Exchanger for Heat Recovery System The effect of different swirler geometries on the flow dynamics inside a micro gas turbine combustion chamber model are widely used in automobiles. Designing air swirler to produce stable and efficient combustion with low-pressure losses is a challenge. A majority of heat exchangers used in thermal power plants, chemical […]

Analysis of Fluid-Particle Interaction in the Nanofluid
Analysis of Fluid-Particle Interaction in the Nanofluid Fluid flows can be found in nature and are broadly observed by those individuals who monitor nature. In nature, almost every fluid contains small particles which is why fluids in which solid spherical particles are distributed are named as dusty fluids. In many industrial processes nanofluids are required […]
