Vibration in any working element causes undesirable effects and affects performance. So it has to be suppressed.
One of the right ways to suppress the vibration is, bypassing the vibration through a fluid medium. If that fluid medium is
behaving smartly, then our objective will be achieved inefficient manner. So we are choosing Magneto rheological fluid
(in short MR fluid) as a fluid medium, which is already known as a smart fluid. It is found that because of the physical
property and rheological behavior it gives extraordinary results. This paper discussed the properties and operational
behavior of the MR fluids in detail. It also summarizes the problems associated with the MR fluids and possible ways to
make this smart fluid smarter than before.
Numerical analysis of staggered wired mesh matrix (SWMM) regenerative heat exchanger has been done and the
performance of SWMM has been evaluated experimentally. The range of parameters considered was Reynolds number
from 2208 to 4766 and porosity from 0.83 to 0.88. The experimental results revealed that the effectiveness of heat
exchanger decreases with time for uniform mass flow rate and with the increase in mass flow rate for a given time.
