Evaluation of basin type solar still by optimizing the condenser

Productivity enhancement of solar still has been one of the main goals of the researchers. The purpose of this research is to design a water distillation system that can purify water from nearly any source, a system that is relatively cheap, portable, and depends only on renewable solar energy. To improve the performance external condenser was used. In this research work, two design of solar still was compared experimentally, one with external condenser and other without condenser. The effect of adding external condenser to the still is to decrease the heat loss. To improve this the addition of external condenser in simple solar still was definitely a positive in improving the thermal performance of the still by increasing the overall water collection over 24 h. This paper contains the experimental work and comparison.

Review Paper

Power flow analysis power systems dynamics and stability

The power system is predominantly in steady-state operation or in a state that could with sufficient accuracy be regarded as a steady-state. In a power system, there are always small load changes, switching actions, and other transients occurring so that in a strict mathematical sense most of the variables are varying with the time. However, these variations are most of the time so small that an algebraic, i.e. not a time-varying model of the power system is justified. A short circuit in a power system is clearly not a steady-state condition, such an event can start a variety of different dynamic phenomena in the system, and study these dynamic models are needed. However, when it comes to calculating the fault currents in the system, steady-state (static) models with appropriate parameter values can be used. A fault current consists of two components, a transient part, and a steady-state part, but since the transient part can be estimated from the steady-state one, fault current analysis is commonly restricted to the calculation of the steady-state fault currents.

Shape optimization of a bracket model using Finite Element Analysis

The objective of this research is to integrate a method of optimization of structures to the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) process with a mesh quadratic. Uses ANSYS software to perform static finite element analysis on a bracket model. On this basis, the homogenization method is adopted, and the total flexibility of the model is taken as the objective function, and the volume is used as the constraint condition. The topology optimization design of the model under several working conditions is carried out. The problems of basic model establishment, optimization region selection, optimization process control and optimization result analysis and application in topology optimization design process are discussed. The application of topology optimization in the initial design process of automotive structures is realized.

House price prediction using various machine learning algorithms

House price increases gradually, that is why there is a need to create such a system for prediction of house prices. This prediction will help developers knowing the selling price of a house. It will also assist customers to know about which is the perfect time to buy a flat. In this paper, we are going to predict the selling price of various houses. Selling prices are determined by various factors such as the location of the house, area of the property, the inflation rate of the current year, Apartment type, month and year of which we want to know the particular price. We are implementing various machine learning algorithms for building a predictive model for houses. We have considered housing data of 2000 properties. In this paper, We will be comparing the algorithms on the basis of parameters such as MAE, RMSE, MSE, accuracy.

Experimental study on characteristics of bitumen mixed with plastic waste and natural fiber

Disposal of waste materials together with waste plastic baggage has become a significant drawback and waste plastics area unit burnt for apparent disposal that causes environmental pollution In the present experimental investigation, attempts are made to study on the various properties like penetration test, ductility test, softening point test, specific gravity test, viscosity test, flash and fire point test, Experiments were conducted for both Ordinary bitumen and waste polythene bitumen with different percentages of waste polythene. It was observed that variation of stability with waste plastic more stability show from 5% bitumen sample with 8%plastic added value 1972 (Kg). Show that increasing bitumen percentage and plastic with decreasing the stability of the bitumen mix. The lower value of stability is 1508kg obtained from 6.5% bitumen with 12% plastic. Also clear that the flow value of bitumen with the addition of plastic is a higher value obtained from mix M4 at 5% of bitumen, and 8% plastic. It is clear that increasing the percentage of bitumen and with increasing of waste plastic than decreasing flow value of bitumen compare with mix 8% plastic and 5% bitumen respectively.

Survey Report

Analysis of RCC sloped building under seismic load: A brief survey

Mostly hilly regions of India are highly seismic. Sloped Buildings have differed in different ways from other buildings. Buildings built in hilly areas are much more vulnerable to the seismic environment. The various floors of sloped building steps back towards the hill slope and at the same time buildings may have setbacks also. Analysis of such buildings is somewhat different than the buildings on the leveled ground since the column of such building rests at different levels on the slope. In the present study, the analysis of G+3 and G+4 buildings on varying slope angles i.e. 00, 7.500, 15.00, 22.500 and 30.00 has been conducted. Both types of building configurations i.e, step back and step back setback has been considered. The seismic forces are considered as per IS: 1893‐2002
