“…It is observed that the average deviation of our data with other works is less than 6%. Validation of computational studies have been done in several previous works [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] Figure 4 displays the flow stream and concentration of the coolant gas (He and CO 2 ) for injection system released from the tip of disk located on the spike. As expected, the formation of the circulations in the cavity is main flow physic of the proposed configurations.…”

Due to sever aerodynamic heating, the protection of forebody of scramjet is crucial for hypersonic flight. In present work, a new cooling system is proposed and investigated for the protection of nose cone at hypersonic flight. Computational fluid dynamic is used for the simulation of the lateral and axial coolant jet released from the spike at high-velocity condition. The primary goal is to find optimum jet location for efficient cooling of nose and spike assembly. Influence of two coolant jets (Carbon dioxide and Helium) on the mechanism of cooling system are fully investigated. For simulation, RANS equations are coupled with species transport equation and SST turbulence model. Two different jet configurations (axial disk positions) are investigated to obtain efficient condition for protection of nose cone at hypersonic flight. Our results indicate that the presence of the spike on the nose cone decreases pressure up to 33% on the main body and the shifts the maximum pressure to higher angles because of the deflection of the air stream. Maximum pressure drops about 50% by injection of the coolant disk jet (C2) at angle of 55 deg.

This study applies a hybridized wavelet transform-artificial neural network (WT-ANN) model to simulate the acetone detecting ability of the Indium oxide/Iron oxide (In2O3/Fe2O3) nanocomposite sensors. The WT-ANN has been constructed to extract the sensor resistance ratio (SRR) in the air with respect to the acetone from the nanocomposite chemistry, operating temperature, and acetone concentration. The performed sensitivity analyses demonstrate that a single hidden layer WT-ANN with nine nodes is the highest accurate model for automating the acetone-detecting ability of the In2O3/Fe2O3 sensors. Furthermore, the genetic algorithm has fine-tuned the shape-related parameters of the B-spline wavelet transfer function. This model accurately predicts the SRR of the 119 nanocomposite sensors with a mean absolute error of 0.7, absolute average relative deviation of 10.12%, root mean squared error of 1.14, and correlation coefficient of 0.95813. The In2O3-based nanocomposite with a 15 mol percent of Fe2O3 is the best sensor for detecting acetone at wide temperatures and concentration ranges. This type of reliable estimator is a step toward fully automating the gas-detecting ability of In2O3/Fe2O3 nanocomposite sensors.

Two different types of hollow‐fiber membrane contactors were used for CO2 separation from the gas stream with monoethanolamine (MEA) absorbent and numerically investigated. After the model validation with experimental data, CO2 removal efficiency, MEA concentration, and pressure drop variation were examined under different conditions by variation of some effective parameters such as gas stream velocity, absorption solution velocity, membrane porosity, and membrane tortuosity. Membrane tortuosity and porosity enhancement led to light decrease and light increase in CO2 removal efficiency, respectively, but gas stream velocity enhancement significantly reduced the CO2 removal efficiency.
