  • The Benefits of Solar Power
    The Benefits of Solar Power and the future possibilities for Wyckoff By: Camille Dash What is Solar Power and how does it work? 2 Solar Energy ⊷ Solar energy harnesses the energy from the sun, and transforms it into power that can be used by humans 3 Solar Cells/PV ⊷ Photovoltaic cells, or solar panels are the more widely known method of harnessing solar energy ⊷ PV cells are made of semi-conductive material (usually silicon), and when the sunlight hits the solar cells, some electrons are released from their atoms and flow through the material, generating electricity. 4 Solar-Thermal Power Plants ⊷ On a larger scale, these power plants concentrate heat from the sun to use as a power source ⊷ The heat boils water, which drives a steam turbine to create electricity (similar to coal or nuclear power plants) 5 Benefits of Solar Panels Environmental, Health and Financial 6 Environmental Benefits of switching to solar power 7 Environmental Benefits ⊷ Compared to the way Americans manufacture the majority of electricity, through burning coal and natural gas, VS. solar power is green and abundant ⊷ The amount of energy from the sun that reaches Earth in one hour is enough to power the world for one year 8 Environmental Benefits ⊷ Switching to solar helps the fight against climate change, as it doesn’t put carbon dioxide into the atmosphere like burning fossil fuels does ⊷ Clean energy 9 Environmental Benefits According to US In NY, switching to Energy Information solar would eliminate Administration, the the amount of average CT home uses emissions

Srinivasa Chalapathi1, Dr. Ch.Bhavanarayana Murthy2, Dr. B. Sudheer Prem Kumar3 1Assoc. Prof, 2Professor, 3Professor & Head, Mechanical Engineering Department Anurag group of Institutions (formerly CVSR College of Engineering), JNTUH, Hyderabad Abstract: Awareness regarding atmospheric pollution effects on the environment and the health of humans, plants, animals and other living organisms and flora and fauna World over has inspired many researchers. Extensive research was carried out all over the world with particular reference to Industrial & Vehicular pollution. Automotive catalysts designed to detoxify the exhaust were implemented in USA in the vehicles of the model year 1975. By 2014 about 40 years have been spent all over the world in the research of automotive catalytic converters. The published papers can be categorized into five groups mainly based on (i) Numerical models (ii) Computational Fluid Dynamic models (iii) Design of Catalytic converters per se (iv) Laboratory experimentation (v) Development of catalytic materials. This paper aims at reviewing how the present day catalytic converter used in automobiles has evolved in the last four decades. About 150 technical papers published in various journals were studied. Some 52 papers are described briefly which indicated the furtherance in the said research. Important conclusions drawn from a few papers are discussed in the end. An exhaustive list of 151 references on the subject is appended. I.

  • Effect of Cone Angle on Performance of Catalytic Converter Ch.Indira Priyadarsini, Dr.T.Ratna Reddy, Mr.N.Chandra Sekhar, R
    Journal of Information and Computational Science ISSN: 1548-7741 Effect of Cone Angle on Performance of Catalytic Converter Ch.Indira Priyadarsini, Dr.T.Ratna Reddy, Mr.N.Chandra Sekhar, R. Hathiram Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engg. Dept., Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology Hyderabad, [email protected] Associate Professor, Mechanical Engg. Dept., Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology Hyderabad, [email protected] ABSTRACT Catalytic converter plays a vital role in reducing harmful gases, but the presence of catalytic converter increases the exhaust back pressure. Catalytic converter is the main pollution control device for modern vehicles in order to reach the ever-increasing legislative demands for low emission standards. in this work a flow analysis is carried out by varying four different Cone angles 45o, 60o. The velocity, pressure and temperature flow in converter has been presented for different configurations. It is observed velocity profile is uniform for 450 cone angle compared to 60 and even back pressure also less with 450 angle for pipe diameter of 0.018m. Keywords— Cone angle, Catalytic converter, CFD, Fluent, Performance I. INTRODUCTION A catalytic converter is a device used to reduce the emissions from an internal combustion engine (used in most modern day automobiles and vehicles). Not enough oxygen is available to oxidize the carbon fuel in these engines completely into carbon dioxide and water; thus toxic by-products are produced. Catalytic converters are used in exhaust systems to provide a site for the oxidation and reduction of toxic by-products (like nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons) of fuel into less hazardous substances such as carbon dioxide, water vapour, and nitrogen gas.
