COMPUTATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF A DOUBLE PIPE HEAT EXCHANGER WITH AND WITHOUT INSERTS USING NANO FLUIDS
Abstract: In applications that need warming procedures, improved heat exchange will also significantly boost heat efficiency and reduce the expense of design and operation. Double tube heat exchangers are best suited for high temperature and high compression applications due to their simplify diameters. Although they are cheap, they disseminate to the other types in a comparatively large amount. A number of approaches were developed to accomplish the required heat transfer rate …

AN INTEGRATED COMPUTER-AIDED PROCESS PLANNING SYSTEM FOR THE MANUFACTURING OF A LEAF SPRING
Abstract: Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP) is a key enabling technology for integrating product design and manufacturing in a Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environment. This paper presents the development and implementation of an integrated, feature-based CAPP system for the manufacturing of an automotive leaf spring assembly. The proposed system bridges the gap between CAD and shop-floor activities by directly mapping design features to manufacturing operations. High-level manufacturing features such as base profiles, …

Planar-to-Rotary G-code Transformation Via Post-Processing for Discrete 4-Axis Machining
Abstract: Conventional 4-axis CNC machining remains inaccessible to many due to the high costs of industrial hardware and the complexity of firmware modifications for entry-level controllers. This paper presents a software-defined framework that enables Planar-to-Rotary G-code Transformation, allowing standard 3-axis CNC systems to perform discrete 4-axis machining without hardware retrofits or firmware changes. The core of the proposed method is a custom Python-based post-processor that maps Cartesian XZ toolpaths onto a …
