Optimization of 3D Printed Two-wheeler Suspension System
Abstract: The suspension is the very important criteria of a two-wheeler in order to improve the comfort for the operator or rider of the two-wheeler. In most of the two-wheeler’s shock absorbers are used as a suspension system to smooth out or damp shock impulse and dissipate energy by use of spring’s compression and relaxation property.

Study of Analysis, Design and Performance of Fin
Abstract: This paper discusses the use of extended surface heat transfer in heat exchangers. The size and cost of an exchanger is dependent upon the heat duty, the allowable pressure drop, and the geometry of the heat transfer area. The dominance of this resistance is often broken by the use of extended surfaces (fins), which will result in a lower area and hence smaller exchanger. This paper will consider which, if …

Effect of Nanoclay on the Performance of Calotopis Gigantea Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites at Distinct Temperature
Abstract: Polymer-based nanocomposite is a developing subject that attracts many researchers due to its special qualities and versatility. Because the specific surface areas of nanofillers in nanocomposites are so high, it is much simpler to produce mechanical properties at the interface. Furthermore, a favorable interaction between the nanofillers and polymer matrix may manifest itself even at comparatively lower percentages of loading nanofillers. Thus, a smart, adaptive polymer nanocomposite material with the …
