Authors :: Mr. Sagar Sanjay Kadam || Prof. Gajanan N. Thokal || Prof. Shishirkumar Kadam
Page No. :: 17-24

The characteristics of Ballbot are a self-balanced and Omni-directional mobility robot. The Ballbot is self-balanced on a single ball with only one contact point with the ground. In this work, a Ballbot system is designed for the dynamical model in order to develop a linearized model which describes the dynamics of the system by a simpler set of equations. Due to the complex dynamic behaviour of the system, the equations of motion are derived using the Lagrangian method. It consists of non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODE). Furthermore, this research proposes the dynamics of the Ballbot with the Euler-Lagrangian formulations in order to develop the model in terms of the system's physical parameters without resorting to the numeric solution. A Characteristic of developed mathematical framework....................

Title :: Mathematical Modeling and Simulation of Quadcopter-UAV Using PID Controller
Country :: India
Authors :: Mr. Rahul Abasaheb Bhosale || Dr. Divya Padmanabhan || Prof. Shishirkumar Kadam
Page No. :: 29-36

There has been a lot of experimental, analytical and computational work carried out in field of robotic systems for quadcopter-UAV in the last two decades. In the recent times, focus has shifted to analytical solutions particularly to ensure balancing and accurate trajectory control in quadcopters with a need for better accuracy. The developed models are simulated and simplified and even improvised using an appropriate software tool. MATLAB is very popularly used for analysis and validation of the models developed. The modeling of such systems was done based on first principles of kinematics and dynamics. Specifically, a large tracking error is produced in the quadcopter system due to the external disturbances, which poses problems in controller design. Hence, in this work, firstly kinematics is framed from a different perspective. This is followed by an effective use of Jacobi method to derive equations with respect to the body frame of reference and inertial frame of reference. Solutions have been obtained for important parameters such as linear acceleration, angular acceleration and torque.

Page No. :: 37-41

Most critical issue in the advancing world is energy. Crude oil prices are touching skies and sources getting depleting day by day. Thus it's a need to hunt for alternative energy sources. Out of many biogas is one of such alternative sources which hold much potential of changing today's world energy scenario. The problem with biogas is lower concentration of methane. Many methods have been developed for scrubbing biogas of H2S and CO2.But they are useful only on large scales and investment and complexities are also greater. In our project we tried to scrub biogas at lower cost using simple method, no doubt economically. The results we obtained are enthusiastic and will certainly promote use of method we developed on domestic as well as
commercial scales.

Authors :: Shree Deo || Dr. Rajesh Jaware
Page No. :: 42-46

In the cut-throat technologies, Mechanical system development includes many disciplines for design, development and enhancement of the end product. Machining processes is one of the disciplines used to remove unwanted part from the desired one. Milling, turning, drilling, grinding, shaping, boring etc. are some of the machining processes out of which drilling contributes maximum percentage while developing mechanical parts. These operations are characterized in terms of cutting speed, feed rate, cutting time, thrust force, torque, MRR etc. to obtain desired results. Hence there is need of optimizing these parameters by using a proper technique or method to get quality and productivity which are equally important in analysis of any process. Taguchi methods are widely used for design of experiments and analysis of experimental data for the optimization of processing conditions. In this paper, a comprehensive and in-depth review on optimization of drilling parameters using Taguchi method is carried out.

For any business to be globally competitive, there are two essential and integral criteria - cost and quality. Worldwide trade has uncontrollable growth rates due to highly significant working factors and strategies. The era of quality control is over, the new era is about New Product Development (NPD) considering overall quality, efficiency, features, after sales performance guarantee, morale building of customers and process development for first-time-right with zero faults and mistakes. This must be ensured right from raw material supplier, vehicle audit, supplier selection, monitoring of supplier quality and delivery, incoming inspection, development, design, perfect layout planning, right kind of machine tool procurement, systematic material movement planning, in-house process control. All of this has to be done at competitive cost planning and achieved, else you are liable to fail in the market. Defects are generated, are solved using the Six Sigma methodology. Six Sigma is the powerful methodology to drive improvement initiatives and reduce cost of
quality. The cost of quality would help in analysing the operating costs for effective costs and profitable business management.

Authors :: Prajakta Limbasarkar || Amruta Gokhale || Dr. Sanjay Bokade
Page No. :: 54-59

Experimental investigation of sample fuels coal-water/methanol/oil mixture. Every liquid fuel was added to pulverize coal in percentage weight. For every fuel Combustion temperature, time is noted and burning rate coefficient is calculated. Great impact of air flow temperature is observed on combustion temperature and burning rate coefficient. 50% and more Oil in Coal Oil Mixture achieve highest temperature and moderate burning rate coefficient as compare to other fuels. Due to presence of low grade coal in India, immense and expensive coal is imported in India. The aim of this project is to find alternative fuels replacing oil in industries and utilization of low grade coal. By varying air flow temperature in the process of fuel combustion, improvement in results i.e. combustion temperature and burning rate coefficient is observed.

Page No. :: 66-71

The ESCO concept was originated in France before world war-2 when engineer's evolved this mechanism as a means to provide expert services to reduce heating bills of property owners and occupiers that could be paid from savings. India's energy intensity is very high, which is 4.5 times that of Japan, 2.5 times of USA and 1.3 times that of Singapore. For reducing its energy intensity substantially, India needs to implement the proposed "National Response Plan" very aggressively. As it has been proven in many developed countries, the Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) are well equipped for achieving energy efficiency (EE) in all potential sectors. ESCOs can help Indian industry too become cost competitive in the global marketplace. Energy services companies (ESCOs) can help Indian industry to reduce its energy costs significantly and become cost competitive in the global marketplace, while at the same time reducing the risk of projects "going wrong".

Page No. :: 72-80

This work is an attempt to evolve a means for statically and dynamical balancing of mechanical components. This will no doubt evolve greater success in ensuring sound fabrication of our local machine and ensuring that life span of such machine is prolonged since vibration will be reduced to the barest minimum. Every wheel and its shaft have to be in a state of balanced, two mating shaft in rotation have to be in a state of static and dynamic balance. This is because unbalance condition produce centrifugal force which increase as the speed of the machine increase, causing damage to machine parts...........
