I attended the International Conference of Fluid Dynamics in November 2024 (ICFD2024) to present the numerical simulation results of the effect of grooves' geometry on the heat removal performance of an internally grooved cooling pipe. The topic was a continual of the topic discussed in the paper we had published earlier. The interesting point for me about this conference presentation was that the basic idea came from one of the reviewers' comments we received before publishing our paper.
In this paper, we proposed geometric modifications for a cooling pipe to increase the performance of ultrasonic testing for its non-destructive inspection. I am currently doing finite element simulations to analyze the effect of the proposed modifications on the heat removal performance of the pipe.
In this paper, we showed that the increase in copper grain size will increase the noise in the ultrasonic signals. We are now showing the effect of grain size increase on the defect detection performance of ultrasonic testing.
