Item Development and Experimental Verification of Manual Piston Driven Hypersonic Shock Tunnel(I.O.E. Pulchowk Campus, 2023-11) Chhetri, AkinA shock tunnel is a relatively low-duration wind tunnel made of a dump tank, test chamber, supersonic nozzle, and a shock tube. Ground-based hypersonic facilities are one of the most important setups for testing hypersonic flows. The study of hypersonic flows has expanded in many educational institute, but due to the high cost of experimental facilities, many institutions depend on theories and small scale CFD simulations to visualize hypersonic flows. Reddy Tunnel, which is one of the major inspirations of this paper, is a miniaturized hypersonic tunnel. Hence, this is an attempt to design, fabricate, and test an economic M6-free piston shock tunnel. The analytical calculations were done for the shock tube, nozzle and capacity of dump tank. The flow was considered isentropic and the simulations were done in OpenFoam v2112. The simulations showed the desired results in shock tube. The nozzle was axisymmetric and contoured. It was designed using method of characteristic in Matlab. The simulations of nozzle showed that it generated hypersonic speed of Mach number 5.2. The shock tube of 32 mm diameter was divided into two parts, where the length of the driver section was 510mm and the driven section was 490mm. The driven section was connected to a contoured supersonic nozzle of 295 mm lengthItem DEVELOPMENT DYNAMICS OF NEW TOWNS IN MID HILL HIGHWAY CORRIDOR: A CASE OF BASANTAPUR(I.O.E. Pulchowk Campus, 2023-12) GAUTAM, ALISHAThis comprehensive research report explores the intricate development journey of Basantapur, nestled in Nepal's Koshi province, with a particular focus on New Town; a Transformative Project by Government of Nepal. The report commences by providing a meticulous overview of the region's geographical, demographic, and developmental facets. Basantapur's strategic location at the crossroads of major highways positions it as a promising candidate for holistic expansion. The report scrutinizes the selection criteria for New Towns, including factors like land availability, water resources, population, literacy rates, and regional accessibility. It sheds light on the intriguing scoring and weighting of these criteria, particularly the relatively low weight given to population and migration and economic activities, despite their significant impact in the long run. Moving forward, the research explores the second objective of Basantapur New Town's IDP: improving residents' livelihoods through tourism, agriculture, and infrastructure development. Basantapur's tourism potential, owing to its natural beauty and cultural richness, is emphasized, alongside the importance of agriculture and infrastructure for economic growth. The report then investigates Basantapur's development dynamics since its designation as a New Town, examining urbanization trends, settlement patterns, land use planning, and the current development stage. Challenges such as funding constraints, governance issues, economic diversification and infrastructure improvement are identified. To address these challenges, this report of study recommends a midterm assessment of the project; along with the development in phases and construction of some large scale industries for business and employment. Other recommendations presented are securing additional funding, enhancing
