Experimental investigation on performance of reciprocating air compressor by using nanoparticle in lubricating oil

Reciprocating compressors are positive displacement machines in which the compressing and displacing element is a piston having a reciprocating motion within a cylinder. The reciprocating compressor plays an important role in various fields such Applications include oil refineries, gas pipelines, chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and refrigeration plants. One specialty application is the blowing of plastic bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is widely used in these fields. Good performance is very crucial for the use in these fields because it is related to the energy-saving benefit. A remarkable part of entire power loss in a reciprocating air compressor is due to the undesirable friction between rubbing surfaces of mechanical components. The development of low friction compressor is necessary for the limitations of fossil fuels. The colloidal effect, rolling effect, protective film, and the third body may be the main mechanisms of friction-reduction and antiwear of nanoparticles in lubricant. So in the present dissertation work the two nanoparticles i.e. CuO and TiO2 are used as lubricating oil additives and its effect on the performance and characteristics of compressor were studied.

Reducing casting defects and improving productivity in a small scale foundry industry using DMAIC approach

The defects need to be diagnosed correctly for appropriate remedial measures; otherwise new defect may get introduced. The proper classification and identification of particular defect is basic need to correct and control quality of casting. Keeping rejection to a bare minimum is essential to improve the yield and increase the effective capacity of the foundry unit and also improve the productivity. This work identifies major defects slag and porosity. There are many reasons which generate these defects. So it is preferably necessary to reduce it as much as possible by appropriate analysis of the defects which includes the root cause analysis so that actual reasons behind occurring the defects can be found out to make the corrective action. In this work six sigma technique was used to identify and analyse casting defect. Final result of this work was to reduce the defect by taking corrective action. Tool should be identifying the sources of variation clearly.

Gesture controlled X-RHex (2.0) robot

In this paper, the authors describe the design of Gesture controlled X-RHex (2.0) Robot. X-RHex (2.0) has only six actuators, one motor located at each hip, achieving mechanical simplicity that promotes reliable and robust operation in real-world tasks. The paper is also about improving controlling the robot and accurate handling. Gesture controlling is the solution for easy handling and giving the desired direction to robot effectively. Empirically stable and highly maneuverable locomotion arises from a very simple clock-driven, open loop tripod gait. The main area of paper is to operate the wireless X-RHex (2.0) Robot more efficiently by using an accelerometer sensor.

Should India have a uniform civil code

The Framers of the Constitution made various laws for the better working of the country but a country like India cannot be governed by a single center hence various powers were given to the constitution for the working of the state mentioned under The Directive Principle of the State in Part IV of the Indian Constitution. One such Directive Principle is mentioned under Article 44 which says that the citizen of the country should be governed under a single set of laws irrespective of their regions or religion. The paper is a brief study of the most debated and controversial topic about the implementation of a Uniform Civil Code in India. In the recent years, various judgment of Supreme court has shown a marked proclivity towards the establishment of Uniform Civil Code and even deals with the unresolved debate on the freedom to religion.

The impact of social media on the student academic achievement

Today, in a dynamic technological environment, it is difficult to determine the impact of social media on the student academic achievement. With the rate of technological domination in the education industry, the old pattern of teaching methodologies is obsolescing day by day. It is essential to study how new technologies assist for the teaching and student's education as the younger generation always having technological approach than the older generation. The objective of this research is to identify the how social media influence to student academic achievement. The Questionnaires were distributed through Facebook and E-mails, to find out whether social media impact students education or not. The findings indicate that there is no relationship between social media and student education.

A power efficient routing scheme: Wireless sensor network for implementation of Green Network by clustering

Faced with increasing energy prices, financial crisis, and environmental problems, the sector of increation and communications technologies initiates the third industrial revolution. This revolution aims to intelligently allocate and distribute energy. The study, development, and implementation of intelligent energy managers for computer networks are called Green Networking. The proposed project aims to develop and test an energy-aware solution. In this, an energy-efficient topology control algorithm named EALSP. The algorithm first tries to preserve the minimum-energy paths. However, when a node searches its requirement a large transmission power to cover some of its neighbors, it capitalizes two-hop paths to reach them instead of using single hop. Simulation results show that EALSP can effectively decrease the transmission power and reduce the energy dissipation when transmitting. This paper presents an energy efficient routing scheme for wireless sensor network to apply GREENNET work protocol by clustering. This is based on the PSO algorithm, which is designed so that it automatically selects the desired nodes. This protocol looks after both the energy efficiency as well as transmission distance. In this paper, we compare different parameters varying selected parameters and observed the simulated result.
