Generation of Electricity with the Help of Speed Brakes
Abstract: Electricity is produced by replacing the conventional speed breakers with some simple mechanism. As vehicles pass over the speed breakers, they spin the rollers which are connected to a generator which in turn generate electricity. This method is an effectual way to produce electricity as the numbers of vehicles on the road are ever increasing. Also, the price of fabrication of the model is less. It can be effectively placed …

Review Study on Experimental Investigation of Heat Transfer Using Al2O3 and CuO Nanoparticles with Water as Base Fluid Through Circular Tube of Heat Exchangers
Abstract: A colloidal mixture of nanometric particles (<100 nm) in a base liquid called nanofluid, which is the new generation of heat transfer fluid for various heat transfer applications where the transport characteristics are substantially higher than the base liquid. This review summarizes and analyzes the empirical correlations for the effective thermal conductivity and the dynamic viscosity of the nanofluid on the basis of experimental data and the theoretical model available …

To Analyze and Study CNC Lathe in Turning Machining Parameters
Abstract: Metal matrix composites (MMCs) consists an important class of design which have weight-efficient structural materials that are inspiring every field of engineering applications. There has been an increasing interest in composites containing low density and low-cost reinforcements. Among various discontinuously dispersed solids used, alumina is one of the most inexpensive and low-density reinforcement available in large quantities as solid waste by-product during combustion of coal in thermal power plants. Hence, …

Snow Compression Property Assessment Using Several Cross-Section Compression Pressure Vessels
Abstract: Effects of the cross-section shape of snow compression pressure vessels on snow compression properties between snow compaction density ρ and axial formation pressure pz were investigated to obtain basic data to support snow compression pressure vessel design. Snow compression pressure vessels with cylindrical, square, and rectangular cross sections were used for those experiments. Results show that the axial formation pressure pz changed from 2.0 to 4.0 MPa. The cylindrical cross …

Parameter Optimization of Electro Discharge Machining of AISI P20 Steel Material
Abstract: In this paper, the cutting of P20 Steel material using electro discharge machining (EDM) with a copper electrode by applying Taguchi methodology has been reported. The Taguchi method is used to formulate the experimental layout, to analyze the effect of each parameter on the machining characteristics, and to predict the optimal choice for each EDM parameter for example peak current, gap voltage, duty cycle and pulse on time. It is …
