Modeling of proton exchange membrane fuel cell based electric vehicle

Electrical Vehicles are gaining popularity gradually. Fuel Cell Technologies are one of the best practical solutions for vehicular applications because they can be used as another possibility of fuel converters and are nature-friendly. Unlike conventional vehicles converting hydrogen gas into electricity produces only water and heat as a byproduct which means fuel cell vehicles do not create a channel of pollution where ever they are driven. For energy balance, the integration of thermodynamic and electrochemical phenomenon must take place in a fuel cell. The combination of both modules makes it possible to anticipate the fuel cell power, voltage, current based on the ambient temperature and demanded current. However, an autonomous fuel cell system may not be capable to meet the load demands especially during peak demands periods, transient events or cold start for vehicular application. A Supercapacitor bank can supply an ample of power but cannot store much energy. By operating the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) ultracapacitor and battery in parallel, can fulfill the steady-state and peak power demands and hence use of an FC/SC hybrid model provides a potential solution for better energy efficiency while reducing the cost of FC power technology. This also suggests a control principle for utilizing PEM fuel cell as a main power source and ultracapacitor, battery as an auxiliary power source for electric vehicle applications. The paper explains in detail the design and development of Modeling of PEMFC Based Electric Vehicle using MATLAB. This system includes a parallel connection of PEMFC, supercapacitor and battery connection through the DC-DC Boost converter. This report critically analyses the challenges which can be faced in EV’s effective and efficient power unit. It also throws light on the application of supercapacitor application as a power buffer in electrical vehicles. The basic idea behind this design was to improve driving range, efficiency, and range of an electric vehicle. Finally, simulation results models are presented and analyzed.

A descriptive study to assess the knowledge regarding kangaroo mother care among postnatal mother with the view to develop information pamplets in Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital Bareilly

A descriptive study to assess the knowledge regarding Kangaroo mother care among postnatal mother in Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital with the view to developing information pamphlets. The objective of the study is to find out the association between the levels of knowledge of postnatal mothers with their selected demographic variables. The nature of the study was non-experimental. This was conducted in Rohilkhand medical college and hospital, Bareilly. The research design used was non-experimental. The data were collected to assess the level of knowledge about Kangaroo mother care. The data collected were analyzed and interpreted by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Major findings of the study revealed that the knowledge score of the study,33.3% of the postnatal mother have good knowledge level,60% of the postnatal mother have average knowledge level, and 3.3% of the postnatal mother have poor knowledge level and mean was 17.76, median was 18, mode was 21 and standard deviation was 4.47. It can be concluded that in our study knowledge score was average regarding Kangaroo mother care, after implementation of a questionnaire program the knowledge of postnatal mother was improved. Hence the questionnaire programme was effective.

Speech enhancement using binary mask technique

Many noise reduction algorithm improves overall speech quality but little progress has been made to improve speech intelligibility. The paper proposed by Gibak Kim and Philipos C. Loizou uses new binary mask approach to improve speech intelligibility, for our paper we have used the same approach but used parametric Wiener filter algorithm for the gain function computation. Subjective and objective measures tests were conducted to evaluate the overall speech enhancement quality and speech intelligibility. For the objective measure, the segmental signal-to-noise ratio parameter was calculated. The results indicate improvement in segmental signal-to-noise ratio for speech corrupted by noise at 0dB and -5 dB SNR levels for Helicopter noise and Car noise.

Structural analysis of novel micro wind turbine

The objective of this investigation is to search out the novel geometry of blade and performance is examined by using the structural analysis. During this paper, an effort is to check the point and Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) apply on the trapezoidal and micro shape blade model of a micro wind turbine blade at various segments such as at the tip and overall length of the blade. This study is to find a better indulgent of structural behavior in the blades for the different swept area. On the basis of these results, the prototype will be created for experimental testing and more power achievement.

Dampers as seismic energy dissipator and principles for EQ resistant building

Earthquake is one of the major disasters since they cause damage to human life in various ways. Mostly, the world population lives within the range of 50miles away from the ocean. So, these earthquakes can cause destruction to human life and also to property. The process of releasing of the huge amount of energy during an earthquake is done by DAMPERS, these are Energy Dissipating Devices. This paper briefly explains the definition and types of dampers, principles for EQ resistant building.

Socio-economic empowerment of women through SHGs in Himachal Pradesh: A review of studies

Ever since independence, a number of innovative programs have been launched by the policymakers and practitioners for the upliftment of the deprived section. A huge amount of social and financial investment has been made to achieve the objective of employment generation and poverty eradication. But, the result seems to be far from satisfaction. Micro-finance through Self-help Groups (SHGs) has been considered as one of the most effective tools in the fight against poverty and improving the socio-economic status of rural poor especially the women. It has been accepted as a development instrument for the entire development process of a nation. Micro-finance and SHGs are effective in reducing poverty, empowering women, creating awareness and thereby ensuring the overall development of the nation.
