Contact Stress Analysis and Optimization of Bevel Gear Pairs by Theoretical and FEA Abstract— The gears are used to transmit the motion and power from one shaft to another shaft by physical contact between gear teeth. The bevel gear is used to transmit motion and power between the axis of intersection and the non-intersecting axis. Gears are generally subjected to loads due to these loads, […]
Studies on the Fuel Characteristics of Empty Fruit and Seed of Sterculia Foetida Abstract: Biomass characterization is the primary step to make use them as feedstock in energy conversion technologies. The empty fruits and seeds of Sterculia foetida tree drop down as waste. Hence, these samples were characterized for proximate content, elemental composition, heating value, thermal behavior and functional groups. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the […]
Characterization and Evaluation of Fuel Properties of Pupae Biodiesel-Diesel Blends Abstract-Biodiesel, an alternative diesel fuel derived from vegetable oil, animal fat, or waste vegetable oil (WVO). In this studies animal fat (dead pupae) can be used an alternative fuels for CI engines. The present study was therefore designed to convert the oil in the waste pupae to methyl ester and to evaluate its potential as […]
Study on the Effects of Drill Parameters on the Quality of Drilled Hole in GFRP Composites Abstract— The main objective of the research work was to investigate the effect of major drill parameters on the main factors such as delamination factor, thrust force and torque on the quality of drilled hole in GFRP composites. Master plan was generated using Design of Experiments and the graph […]
Modeling Fabrication and Testing of Artificial Gecko Adhesion using Multi Layer Fbrillar Structure Abstract- The idea of designing a micro level artificial gecko adhesive structure isinspired from ability of geckos to climb any surface. Gecko can climb any rough or smooth surface because of its hierarchical structure present on feet which functions as a smart adhesive [1]. The key parameter that affects gecko adhesion are […]
Investigation of Tesla Turbine Abstract—This project outlines one of the key investigations on tesla turbine on basis of a cogeneration ideology. Cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP) is the use of a heat engine or power station to generate electricity and useful heat at the same time. The type of fluid flow into the tesla turbine determines the performance and thus a study on […]
Application of Infrared Sensors to Improve Safety in Saw Mill Abstract— Wood is natural organic material which is obtained from tree stem; it is used for various purpose, and sawmill is the place where wood is brought into required shape and size, with the help of rotating saw blades. Worker’s during giving feed to the saw blade, accidents are prone to occur, if their hands […]
Preparation and Study of Mechanical Properties of Nylon 66 / CaCO3Engineering Thermoplastic Composite. Abstract:- The thermoplastic materials, which has the capacity to withstand tensile pressure of more than 400 Kg/cm2 and temperature of more than 1000C considered as engineering thermoplastics. In this paper, a new composite of Nylon 66 has been prepared by adding micron-sized calcium carbonate (CaCO3 ) filler aiming in improvement of the […]
