  • Design and Simulation:These are some books which are recommended as a reading list. 1- Aerodynamics of Road Vehicles from Fluid Mechanics to Vehicle Engineering. Edited by Wolf-Heinrich Hucho 2- Hucho-Aerodynamik des Automobils Stromungsmechanik.Warmetechnik. Fahrdynamiik.Komfort
  • Optimizing Performance and Fuel Economy of a Dual-Clutch Transmission Powertrain with Model-Based Design.
  • Wind Turbine DesignPrimary objective in wind turbine design is to maximize the aerodynamic efficiency, or power extracted from the wind. But this objective should be met by well satisfying mechanical strength criteria and economical aspects. In this video we will see impact of number of blades, blade shape, blade length and tower height on wind turbine design.
  • Modelling Complex Mechanical Structures with SimMechanicsModeling physical components or systems in Simulink® typically involves a tradeoff between simulation speed and model fidelity or complexity: the higher the fidelity of the model, the greater the effort needed to create it..
  • Biomass Energy Vs. Natural GasIn 2009, natural gas prices plunged to below $4 per MMBtu where many "Experts" are saying that prices will remain low for decades as a result of technology break-throughs allowing for sizable increases in natural gas supply for North America. The Energy Information Agency (EIA) just released data projections reflecting this potential increased supply in natural gas.

Why Oil &Gas Prices are High in 5 Pictures (Updated)

Posted by Sohail Azad On 03:54

Update: British Petroleum (BP) has released an excellent 2 minute overview using pictures of what's occurring in world energy markets on YouTube. Also, World oil prices (Brent) have dropped to $89 per barrel. (1) History: After decades of stable oil prices, beginning in the early 2000's the combination of several drivers have fundamentally changed global oil markets: (1) Ongoing war and political unrest in the Middle East; (2) Devaluation of...

Simulation is the best way to allocate trucks to shovels in open-pit mine operations

Posted by Sohail Azad On 11:54

1. The problemEfficient open-pit mine operations maintain a steady ore feed to the extraction plant (the �bottleneck� as stated in one of my previous postings in this BLOG). This can be guaranteed by allocating sufficient resources (trucks and shovels) to the appropriate circuits. Since hauling represents 50% or more of the total operating costs, economic penalties are incurred when extra resources are assigned. Therefore, an important operational...
