Optimization of Turbofan Engine Performance through Blade Profile Modification

This thesis reports detailed research performed to optimize the geometries of blade rows in turbofan engines through analysis with computational fluid dynamics. The study was conducted systematically by employing theoretical analysis, along with numerical computation used to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of two different blade types. The methodology consisted of the design of blade geometries in SolidWorks, mesh generation using structured and unstructured elements, and CFD simulations on ANSYS Fluent with a focus on cascade analysis. The study commenced with the development of two designs below: Blade Design 1 having a height of 1300 mm, chord length of 294 mm at the base, and 700 mm at a height of 750 mm; Blade Design 2 at a similar height, differing only in leading edge diameters and chord lengths at different cross-sections. This enables detailed meshing such that near-wall regions and critical flow features are resolved with adequate resolution. Using a pressure-based solver, the CFD simulation was performed using the k-ω SST turbulence model, which is proper for capturing near-wall effects and handling adverse pressure gradients. Inlet velocities were considered between 1 and 40 m/s, thus analyzing performance under different operating conditions.

Website Development for Advertisements for Rental and Sale of Real Estate

The purpose of the work is to develop a website for real estate agents and potential buyers, with the ability to publish advertisements for rental and sale of various properties. The objective of the work is to show the knowledge and skills that were acquired through the studies in the TTI (Transport and Telecommunication Institute).In this work were used the following methods:1. Analyzation of the subject area Real Estate;2. Analyzation of existing analogs;3. Design and development of data base, data access, business service, client, and server parts of the web application;4. Quality control.As the result of the work were made the web application for real estate agents and potential buyers was made, where the users can read the description, upload, modify and delete the advertisements. Was created the authentication on the website. Was created the data base of the website to store all of the information about advertisements and users.As the conclusion of the work all of the functional requirements for the website were made, full development cycle of the project was utilized and all of the errors that were raised during the work were fixed.

Change management in catering companies in the context of the digital economy

The first chapter describes that based on digital platforms as the main factor of production, labor relations and labor functions are being transformed. In the modern economy, various industries and activities are being transformed, new industries are being formed, based only on the use of new technologies.The second chapter describes that the catering sector is very competitive in the Latvian market. In the context of transformation of the labor market, there are changes in the requirements for employees, which are associated with their personal development and desire for personal growth. Digitalization is transforming existing jobs, requiring workers to have new skills to perform new tasks, requiring continuous training.The third chapter describes that in a market economy, digital business transformation can drive growth, productivity and competitiveness. Digitalization allows us to minimize the risk of human error and free up specialists’ time to solve more important issues.The fourth chapter analyzes the main activities and problem areas of the enterprise, analyzes and proposes promising concepts for personnel management of an existing enterprise in the Latvian public catering market, since in modern changing conditions personnel are the key asset of the enterprise.

Drone manipulator optimization and integration in affordable quadcopter

This paper explores the development of a drone-attachable manipulator designed to perform construction and maintenance tasks, moving beyond the traditional use of UAVs for monitoring. Our primary objective is to design a manipulator capable of lifting objects weighing up to 300 grams, adhering to principles of low cost, ease of manufacturing, and high quality. We begin with a literature review of UAV types and their suitability for integration with manipulators. The design process involves creating multiple manipulator prototypes using Solidworks for simulations to gather data on performance and structural integrity.Static stress and displacement analyses are conducted to identify areas of high stress and potential deformation. Initial designs demonstrate that the static force required to hold a 300-gram object exceeds the capabilities of our prototypes. The final manipulator design is tested for its lifting capabilities and operational limitations. Re The study concludes with an evaluation of the design process, limitations, and potential for future applications of UAV-integrated manipulators in infrastructure construction and maintenance
