Introducing a framework for a green smart coffee waste management system through Industry 4.0 technologies

Coffee brewing process generates large amounts of spent coffee grounds (SCG). SCGs are often disposed as general garbage and transported to landfills, where they produce methane, a greenhouse gas 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide, contributing to global warming. Hence, an efficient waste management system is important for managing such waste. An efficient waste […]

High-Fidelity Aerodynamic Optimization of eVTOL Rotor Designs

The PDF will start by validating the use of the open-source Stanford University Unstructured (SU2) RANS-based CFD solver for rotorcraft design. This includes generating a mesh and configuration file with SU2 and performing a grid convergence study to validate SU2 and the chosen turbulence models against the reference experimental data. Following this, PDF will generate […]
