  • 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.

The Past, Present, and Future of Ethanol

Posted by Sohail Azad On 14:07

In our last 2 blogs, the past to the present of ethanol is discussed -- looking at the health origins of why its use was needed in the first place, and ethanol's continuing importance today in reducing U.S. spending on foreign oil (OPEC).Today we will look at the future, but first let's do a quick review: Health BenefitsWar, Terrorism, China, & OilOrigins in Health Benefits: This blog post discusses some key aspects of gasoline formulation...

Computer simulation . . . What's that?

Posted by Sohail Azad On 17:26

In previous posts, I have used the concept �Computer Simulation� many times. For example, I have affirmed that �Computer Simulation is the right tool to decide truck allocation�, and �To calculate the aggregate variability, it is necessary to use sophisticated computational tools such as Computer Simulation�, and finally �Computer Simulation could aid in planning mining operations�.All those statements assume that the reader is familiar with the...
