Vol 7, No 1 (2022): Experimental Investigation of Performance and Emission Effects of Honge Oil-Blended Biodiesel Combustion in an Internal
Authors:-Mahima Gupta, Ronit Thakur
Abstract:- Current energy regulations address environmental concerns, climate change, and the promotion of greener energy. Because of the use of fossil fuels, air pollution has become a severe hazard to human survival. In terms of fossil fuel usage, India ranks third in the world, posing challenges to social and economic growth. The simplest way is to use vegetable oil in a CI engine, but due to their high viscosity and low volatility, direct injection of vegetable oils into a CI engine causes several operating and durability issues. This issue is solved by preheating the oil using exhaust gas in a shell and tube heat exchanger, which reduces chemical processing costs. Present experimental research on the performance, emission, and combustion characteristics of diesel and hone oil blends (D100, B20, and B40) with preheating at various loads. The above blends are compared unheated and preheated by analysing various parameters such as break thermal fuel consumption BSFC,ISFC, thermal efficacies, powers, mass emission of various gaseous pollutants species such as CO,HC,CO2 and NOx, combustion parameters such as indicated mean effective pressure IMEP,BIMEP and FMEP, and so on. A thorough investigation found that all performance criteria are greatly improved, and in the event of blending, preheating delivers comparable results to diesel injection while producing lower emissions. Preheating reduces CO, CO2, and HC emissions by 20-25 percent due to enhanced combustion, while NOx emissions increase as combustion temperature rises.

Authors: Prashant Pratap Mall, Jitender Panchal
Abstract:-Weld tensile strength was greatly impacted by welding speed and shoulder diameter in friction stir welding (FSW), but welding speed strongly affected percentage elongation. Friction stirs welding (FSW) modelling with a particular emphasis on heat generation caused by contact circumstances between the FSW tool and the work piece. The thermomechanical conditions observed during FSW differ significantly from those observed during metal welding, resulting in fundamentally distinct material flow processes and weld fault morphologies.

Abstract: The focus of this project is on the design and manufacture of a water body cleaning equipment. As we all know, water bodies are becoming increasingly polluted. As a result, aquatic species may mistakenly ingest surface waste particles as food, resulting in animal mortality as well as skin illnesses and respiratory ailments in humans. The water body cleaning machine is utilised in areas where waste particles has to be cleaned from the body. An operator in charge of the equipment approaches and cleans the area of waste or debris first. It is cost effective and incredibly valuable for society due to its design. It also alleviates the challenges we have in keeping our water bodies clean. India is known for its rivers, however they are becoming increasingly polluted these days. Water pollution is a big issue in water bodies; as a result of increased water pollution in the form of waste material, human, animal, and marine life are suffering. We built the water body cleaning equipment after seeing the existing state of our country's river.

Vol 6, No 2 (2021): A Study on the Reduction of Vibrational Residual Stress in Manufacturing
Author: Divya Mohanty, Abhishek Pawar
Abstract: Residual stresses are tensions that persist in a solid substance after the stress source has been eliminated. Residual stress can be beneficial or harmful. Even after external forces and temperature gradients have been removed from a body, residual stresses persist. These stressors may have a negative impact on the body's service life, compromising fatigue life and dimensional stability. Various methods for stress treatment have arisen during the last few decades, including shot peening, mechanical tumbling, and Vibratory Stress Relief (VSR). This study attempts to examine VSR as a valid stress management treatment while also examining its various variations. Residual stresses can be caused by inelastic (plastic) deformations, temperature gradients, or structural changes, among other things.

Vol 6, No 1 (2021): Spring-back Deformation Prediction for CFRP Reflectors Manufactured Using Various Processes
Authors: S. Kowshik, M. Ramesh
Abstract: Because of its superior particular characteristics to traditional metals and alloys, carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) is widely utilised in space applications, automobile sectors, aircraft, and sports equipment. Many composite manufacturing techniques are now standard, depending on the size, shape, and processing time of the result. The hot air oven and Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Moulding (VARTM) are low-cost production methods with good dimensional stability. CFRP reflectors were produced utilising oven curing and the VARTM method to estimate spring-back deformation in this study. The inner surface dimensions of produced reflectors were measured using 3D scanning methods at various locations. The spring-back deformation of produced CFRP reflectors is caused by the difference between the theoretical CAD model and reflector dimensions at each point. In the manufacture of reflectors, the laminate thickness and layup orientation have been studied as processing factors. The spring-back deformation of produced reflectors has been compared with various process parameters utilising oven curing and VARTM production methods. The difference in spring-back deformation % is determined to be within acceptable limits. As the laminate thickness rises, the spring-back deformation reduces.

Authors: Jay Joshi, Deepak Rathore, Sushmita Sharma
Abstract: One of the most common production procedures nowadays is turning. Chips are used to remove the metal. While the tool moves along the axis of rotation, the work item remains motionless (yet spins). To achieve efficient work, the CNC turning machine is regulated by a variety of process parameters and cutting circumstances. The goal of this research is to determine the relationship between process parameters and output parameters such as MRR and surface finish. Speed, feed, depth of cut, tool shape, coolant, and work material are some of the most frequent parameters that influence the processes. Analyzing these consequences also aids in the optimization of parameters for optimal performance. For solving such problems, a variety of strategies are available, with the Taguchi method being the most often utilised for optimization.

Abstract:The gears are an important part of a mechanism. A gear is a rotating circular machine part having cut teeth or, in the case of a cogwheel or gearwheel, inserted teeth (called cogs), which mesh with another toothed part to transmit torque. A gear may also be known informally as a cog. Geared devices can change the speed, torque, and direction of a power source. Making gears requires high precision to avoid backlash. The advanced machining process that can produce high precision straight gear by the use of Wire cut EDM process. This study aims to determine the surface roughness of the workpiece and optimize the effect of current and wire speed on the surface roughness of the straight gear through WEDM Process on EMS 45. The wire cut machining parameters used are 4, 6, and 8 amperes for current, and wire speed of 9, 11, and 13 mm/min. While the diameter of Wire is 0.25 mm and Brass material is used for cutting. It is shown that the if the current and wire speed is increase the surface roughness will be low and Vice versa Therefore, it can be performed on low machine parameters to produce a smooth and better workpiece surface.
