Authors:- Maun Vadukul, Aman Mehta, Prem singh Rajpurohit, Parth Patel, Ravindra Gupta
Abstract :-With the increasing demand for automobile vehicle and their usages its influence on environmental pollution and human health, it is very important to engineer it in the best optimum design with respect to its life, emissions and manufacturing cost. Also, with an increase in the maintenance of various components of vehicles demand new effective design and their analyses have increased. In this work, we focused on the life of the exhaust system of a motorbike in which high-temperature gases pass and get cool and also sound emissions are decreased and then released to the atmosphere. Gases stay more time in silencers than other parts of the exhaust system to reduce the noise level. The uniform heat distribution over the entire exhaust system is important for ensuring the enhanced life of elements in the sub-system. Therefore, uniform heat flow is necessary along the passage surface to minimise the harmful effect of hotspots over the length of the silencer, especially at the outer body of the silencer. We introduced that providing different types of patterns uniform over the surface of the muffler results in better heat dissipation throughout the surface, which will decrease the oxidation rate of metal with oxygen present in air and rust formation. So, we made CAD files using CREO Parametric of mufflers having different patterns on the surface. The pattern designs which can be manufactured easily are to be made. Further CAD models will be analysed in ANSYS by thermal analysis to observe which pattern is best among those made.

Authors:-Â Gaurav P Bandhania, Prashant Singh R. Tomar, Tejas Vyas
Abstract :- Abrasive jet machining offers a solution to the expanding need for machining of brittle materials like single crystals, glasses and polycrystalline ceramics and to perform critical machining to provide complex shapes and workpiece profiles. This machining process is non-thermal, non-chemical, creates no change in the workpiece's microstructure and chemical or physical properties and offers virtually stress-free machined surfaces. Due to that, it is used extensively in machining hard and brittle materials, which are difficult to cut by other traditional methods. There are many process parameters like Abrasive mass flow rate (AMFR), Stand of Distance (SOD), Nozzle diameter, Pressure, abrasive grain size, and traverse speed that affect the performance of the abrasive jet machine. Due to all these process parameters, we can obtain many response parameters like Material Removal Rate (MRR), surface roughness, depth of cut, Radial over cut, taper angle. This paper discusses the individual effect of those parameters on different materials like Alumina ceramic, Glass fibre, Nickel 233 alloys, Kevlar epoxy composites, porcelain tiles, and soda lime glass. This paper presents a literature review to understand the effect of different process parameters like Abrasive grain size, Pressure, SOD on different materials to improve quality and accuracy on an abrasive jet machine.
