Software : Easy Interface for Microcontroller Programming in C using JFE & SDCC

Using Jen's File Editor (JFE) and Small Device C Compiler (SDCC) you can program the Intel 8051, Maxim 80DS390, Zilog Z80 and the Motorola 68HC08 based MCUs in C easily. JFE will give a good General User Interface (GUI) for SDCC. SDCC's command is using line command or DOS command so it would be problem for someone who have not familiar with Command or DOS scripts. But using JFE would give a comfortable because it can simplifying the compiling process without type any scripts command in DOS or command prompt window. I just do one click on the button which I customized in JFE with SDCC coupled. And also I do not have to leave the editor because JFE embed the SDCC button to compile and I can see the codes error in the same window. 

JFE acronym for "Jens' File Editor" is a free Windows (32-bit) based text editor and source code editor which is aimed primarily at computer programmers working with C/C++ but of course is not limited to that.

SDCC is a retargettable, optimizing ANSI - C compiler that targets the Intel 8051, Maxim 80DS390, Zilog Z80 and the Motorola 68HC08 based MCUs. Work is in progress on supporting the Microchip PIC16 and PIC18 series.

Installation :

Extract the sdcc_jfe_setup.exe. The default destination extraction folder is C:\. You may change to another destination folder but You must change the application/sdcc button setting after installation. To change application/sdcc button setting :

1- Open Jfe_sdcc.exe
2- clik New
3- Right click the "SDCC 2.9.0" button
4- Set the application setting as the "sdcc.exe" application file exsited.

Tutorial : Cyclepad - Tutorial , analysis, application, etc.

Using CyclePad, setting up such a cycle is actually very simple, but it requires that we know some of the basic facts and typical assumptions that apply to the cycle. We will examine a typical Rankine cycle problem and note the assumptions necessary to find the problem's solution, many of which will not be stated explicitly in the problem.

This documentation is explaining how to setting an explicit state of rankine cycle. And it covers ideal , reheat and regenerative cycle problems.

Tutorial : FLUENT - SIMULATING A MIXING ELBOW (2D)

This tutorial is further process from Tutorial : GAMBIT - MODELING A MIXING ELBOW . This tutorial illustrates the setup and solution of the two-dimensional turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer in a mixing junction. The mixing elbow configuration is encountered in piping systems in power plants and process industries.

It is often important to predict the flow field and temperature field in the neighborhood of the mixing region in order to properly design the location of inlet pipes.In this tutorial you will learn how to:

• Read an existing grid file into FLUENT
• Use mixed units to define the geometry and fluid properties
• Set material properties and boundary conditions for a turbulent forced convection problem
• Initiate the calculation with residual plotting
• Calculate a solution using the segregated solver
• Examine the flow and temperature fields using graphics
• Enable the second-order discretization scheme for improved prediction of temperature
• Adapt the grid based on the temperature gradient to further improve the
prediction of temperature

Tutorial : GAMBIT - MODELING A COMBUSTION CHAMBER (3-D)

In this tutorial, you will create the geometry for a burner using a top-down geometry construction method in GAMBIT (creating a volume using solids). You will then mesh the burner geometry with an unstructured hexahedral mesh.

In this tutorial you will learn how to:
• Move a volume
• Subtract one volume from another
• Shade a volume
• Intersect two volumes
• Blend the edges of a volume
• Create a volume using the sweep face option
• Prepare the mesh to be read into FLUENT 5/6 

In this tutorial, you will create a combustion chamber geometry using the “top-down” construction method. You will create volumes (in this case, bricks and cylinders) and use Boolean operations to unite, intersect, and subtract these volumes to obtain the basic geometry. Finally, using the “blend” command, you will round off some edges to complete the geometry creation.

For this model, it is not possible to simply pick the geometry and mesh the entire domain with hexahedral elements, because the Cooper tool (which you will be using in this tutorial) requires two groups of faces, one group topologically parallel to a sweep path, and the other group topologically perpendicular. However, the rounded (blended) edges fit in neither group. See the GAMBIT Modeling Guide for a more detailed description of the Cooper tool. You need to decompose the geometry into portions that can be meshed using the Cooper tool. There are several ways to decompose geometry in GAMBIT. In this example, you will use a method whereby portions of the volume around the blend are split off from the main volume.

The problem to be considered is shown schematically in Figure above. The geometry consists of a simplified fuel injection nozzle that feeds into a combustion chamber. You will only model one quarter of the burner geometry in this tutorial, because of the symmetry of the geometry. The nozzle consists of two concentric pipes with radii of 4 units and 10 units respectively. The edges of the combustion chamber are blended on the wall next to the nozzle.
