Composite brake friction lining for rotor and drums

The rubbing brake functions as a basic assurance for general work and wellbeing operation of vehicles and mechanical supplies. Erosion and wear practices of brake's grinding materials are considered as a vital subject. In this article, grating materials were arranged by framework classes, and their significant segments were presented first. At that point, the favorable circumstances and impediments of every grinding material were compressed and examined. Besides, the small-scale reaching practices on erosion interface and the arrangement system of different contact movies were talked about. At last, the persuasive standards and practices of erosion materials were outlined. It is inferred that the grating film, a middle of the road item in braking, is significantly useful to shield erosion materials from being genuinely rubbed. The braking conditions have muddled impacts on rubbing and wear practices of brake. By and large, the grinding coefficient has a tendency to be genuinely low while the wear rate increment Quickly under a condition with high temperature, braking weight, or beginning braking speed

Agricultural crop cost prediction using Artificial Neural Network

Forecasts of agricultural production and prices are intended to be useful for farmers, governments, and agribusiness industries. Because of the special position of food production in a nation\'s security, governments have become both principal suppliers and main users of agricultural forecasts. Artificial neural networks have been demonstrated to be powerful tools for modeling and prediction, to increase their effectiveness. Crop prediction methodology is used to predict the suitable crop for a field by considering the parameters: Temperature, Rainfall, Humidity, Soil properties- ( PH, nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, organic carbon, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, manganese, copper, iron )and cyclonic patterns. One of the major concern in Crop Cost Prediction (CCP) is to manage a large database with maximum attributes. In order to avoid these difficulties, a methodology named Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) with Feed Forward Back Propagation (FFBP) scheme is employed for accurate CCP. In this paper, the cost prediction accuracy is enhanced by minimizing the Mean Squared Error (MSE) by means of forecast values. Therefore, this proposed methodology outcome shows a clear idea about crop price and the crop yield estimation.

Impact of biodiesel and LPG on injector deposit formation

The ever-increasing fossil fuel usage and cost, environmental concern has forced the world to look for alternative biofuel in compression ignition engine. In this research work, a 60 hours endurance test has been carried out on horizontal type single cylinder diesel engine. During endurance test; three fuel samples such as D100 (%diesel fuel as a baseline), B25 (waste cooking oil biodiesel 25% and 75% diesel fuel) and B25+LPG (liqudified petroleum gas and waste cooking oil biodiesel) respectively. At the end endurance test for each fuel samples, carbon deposit was analyzed on the fuel injector while using SEM and EDX techniques. However, an endurance test was carried out at constant rpm and constant load condition. From results, it was found that the injector tip showed higher deposition of carbon in case of B25 fuel followed by B25+LPG and DF respectively.

Role of single bump over the surface of E398 Airfoil to improve the aerodynamic performance

Flow Separation over the surface of the airfoil affect the aerodynamic performance of airfoil, flow separation increases drag and decreases lift. Aerodynamic efficiency of an airfoil can be improved by delaying separation, which increases the lift force and reduces the drag force. Flow separation can be controlled by altering boundary layer behavior such as reducing boundary layer thickness and increases maximum velocity over the surface of an airfoil, these can be done by modifying the geometry of airfoil or other active flow control techniques and passive flow control techniques. In this research, E398 airfoil was selected for analysis. Analysis has been carried out on smooth and modified E398 airfoil, airfoil modified with single bump centered at 0.05C, 0.1C, 0.15C, 0.2C, and 0.3C from leading edge, chord length of an airfoil is 0.128m. The numerical study has been carried out by using Ansys Fluent 14.0 over Smooth and Uni-Bump E398 airfoil, at low Reynolds Number ranging from 18000 to 54000 and Angle of Attack from 00 to 150. Numerical Results show that the aerodynamic efficiency of a modified airfoil with bump centered at 0.1C is higher as compared to smooth airfoil at Reynolds 18000 and 36000. When Reynolds number is 54000, aerodynamic efficiency of a smooth airfoil is higher than the modified airfoil with a single bump at 0.1C. Analysis has been performed by changing the location of bump from 0.5C to 0.3C aerodynamic performance decreases as bump shifted toward the maximum thickness of airfoil because suction pressure decreases on the upper surface of an airfoil. It is observed that as a bump near leading edge of the airfoil, shows the higher aerodynamic performance, the suitable locations of the bump are at 0.5C and 0.1C from leading edge.

A study of behaviour of consumer towards online shopping

Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce, refers to the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the internet and other computer networks. The Internet is the most rapidly growing media during the past decade. Especially, online shopping is a rapidly growing e-commerce area. Online stores are usually available 24 hours a day, and many consumers have internet access both at work and at home. A successful web store is not just a good looking website with dynamic technical features, listed in many search engines. This study aims to establish a preliminary assessment, evaluation, and understanding of the characteristics of online shopping. An effort has been made to investigate online consumer behaviour, which in turn provides E-marketers with a constructional framework for fine-tuning their E-businesses’ strategies.

Behaviour of natural sisal fibre reinforce concrete beam in pure torsion

This project it has carried out torsional strength for reinforced concrete elements by using sisal fibers. In last around 3 decades, all over the world are finding out potential applications of a natural fiber base reinforced concrete based element. So many countries research and the investigation was carried out to find the various physical and also mechanical properties, the durability of such products reinforced with natural organic fibers. Since last some years, various researchers investigated the use of fibers in construction materials like mortar, concrete etc. However, all properties of concrete may not improve for the same proportions of the different combination. Mechanical behavior of fiber reinforced concrete composite depends on the structure of composite both, properties of concrete and properties of type fiber used in a mix. Hence, for analysis and prediction about the performance of composite at different loading condition, the internal structure of composite must be characterized.
