Anti-icing performance using the surface dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator is studied detailed visualization and thermal measurements. To reveal physical mechanism of coupled aerodynamic effects on anti-icing, three types actuators are designed mounted a NACA 0012 airfoil. The confirmed in still air. results show that actuation effective for in-flight anti-icing directly related to design based effects. When direction induced flow consistent with incoming flow, heat generated by...
The Jeans instability in collisional dusty plasmas has been analytically investigated by considering the polarization force effect. Instabilities due to dust-neutral and ion-neutral drags can occur electrostatic waves of with self-gravitating particles. In this study, effect gravitational on heavy dust particles is considered tandem both forces. theoretical framework developed dispersion relation growth rate have derived, assuming plane wave approximation. derived shows that, plasmas,...
Robotic arms in industries encompassing long assembly lines has increased vein of achieving automated and production. Material selection for utilization robotic such environments entails significant importance. selected to interact with everyday job atmosphere must withstand the forces applied at end effector. Two commonly available materials Aluminum Poly-methyl methacrylate were considered designing 5R arm. Static force torque analysis depicted torques required case slightly more as...
Surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge (SDBD) plasma actuators driven by alternating current (AC), also known as AC-SDBD, have been used recently in many aerodynamic and heat transfer applications. The present study investigates experimentally the thermal effects of AC-SDBD actuator presence an external flow i.e. wind tunnel. oil visualization infrared thermography is performed to determine different boundary layer regions over model properties placed on upper surface, respectively. tunnel...
Plasma Co-Flow Jet technology (PCFJ) is validated and developed on a NACA 0025 airfoil by combining the plasma flow control Co-flow (CFJ) technology. Through two-dimensional particle image velocimetry technology, characteristics of induced field co-flow jet were studied in quiescent air, variations with pulse frequency, angle attack, duty ratio visualized measured wind tunnel.
