Hydrodynamics of Swirl and Non-Swirl Flows in Conical Diffusers
This book is an expanded and refined version of a master's research project, now presented as a comprehensive study integrating both experimental and numerical methods. The book explores how swirl influences flow behavior, pressure recovery, and efficiency in conical diffusers-key components in aerospace and fluid machinery.The authors designed a transparent Perspex diffuser and introduced swirl using a custom vane-type swirler. Using hot-wire anemometry and Pitot probes, they measured velocity profiles, pressure distribution, and turbulence characteristics. To validate and extend the findings, simulations were performed using ANSYS Fluent with Reynolds Stress Modeling (RSM), ideal for capturing the complex dynamics of swirling flows.The study revealed that swirl at the inlet significantly reduces boundary layer separation and improves diffuser performance, especially when combined with a properly sized tailpipe. Detailed results include CAD models, flow visualizations, and performance plots.This book is a valuable reference for graduate students, researchers, and professionals working in fluid mechanics, turbomachinery, and industrial flow applications.

Municipal Wastewater Treatment
Municipal Wastewater Treatment: Advanced Technologies in Wastewater Treatment provides updated information on existing technologies for municipal wastewater treatment. The book focuses on efficient technologies and environmental control strategies in the field of municipal wastewater and covers below listed strategies that can be used in municipal wastewater treatment, depending on the specific needs and goals of the treatment plant: (a) Preliminary treatment: This involves screening out large objects like sticks, rocks, and plastics, and removing grit and sand that can damage pumps and other equipment. (b) Primary treatment: In this stage, wastewater is settled in large tanks, allowing solids to stele to the bottom and oils and greases to rise to the surface, where they can be skimmed off. (c) Secondary treatment: This stage uses biological processes to further treat the wastewater. One common method is the activated sludge process, which involves aerating the wastewater and adding microorganism that consumes organic matter. Another method is the trickling filter process, which uses a bed of rocks of other materials to support microorganisms that break down organic matter. (d) Tertiary treatment: This is an optional stage that can be used to further remove nutrients, pathogens, and other pollutants from the wastewater. Common methods include sand filtration, membrane filtration, and disinfection with chemicals like chlorine or ultraviolet light. (e) Sludge treatment and disposal: The solids that are removed during primary and secondary treatment, known as sludge, must be further treated before they can be safely disposed of or used. Common methods include anaerobic digestion, composting, and drying. Municipal Wastewater Treatment sheds light and gives a broad but very detailed view on above mentioned issues from an industrial chemical engineering point of view.

Brilliant Future of Metamaterials Applications
Metamaterial (from the Greek word μετά meta, meaning "beyond" or "after", and the Latin word material, meaning "matter" or "material") is a type of material engineered to have a property, typically rarely observed in naturally occurring materials, that is derived not from the properties of the base materials but from their newly designed structures. They are fashioned from multiple materials, such as metals and plastics, and are usually arranged in repeating patterns, at scales that are smaller than the wavelengths of the phenomena they influence. Their precise shape, geometry, size, orientation, and arrangement give them their "smart" properties of manipulating electromagnetic, acoustic, or even seismic waves: by blocking, absorbing, enhancing, or bending waves, to achieve benefits that go beyond what is possible with conventional materials. Appropriately designed metamaterials can affect wave of electromagnetic radiation or sound in a manner not observed in bulk materials. Those that exhibit a negative index of refraction for particular wavelengths have been the focus of a large amount of research. These materials are known as negative-index meta-materials.
