Thermal Simulation and an Analysis on an Exhaust Gas of a Teg Model using Fluent
Abstract: As the First law of Thermodynamic says “energy is directly proportional to work done” and law of conservation of energy “Energy can neither be created nor can be destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another”. Unfortunately any energy policy that produces improvements in the short term is often one that destroys the environment in the long run. It is a universal truth that no exponential growth …

Finite element analysis using Staad-Pro for irregular L-shape Building by Time History Analysis
Abstract: To perform well in an earthquake, a building should possess four main attributes, namelysimple and regular configuration, and adequate lateral strength, stiffness and ductility.Buildings having simple regular geometry and uniformly distributed mass and stiffness inplanes well as in elevation, suffer much less damage than buildings with irregularconfigurations. Impairment can be in the form of loss of non-structural element, damage tostructural components, and collapse of structural element leading to progressive failure …
