Country :: India
Authors :: Pratik D. Mhamunkar || Rashed Ali
Page No. :: 01-05

Helical coil is most widely used enhancement technique used in many industries because of its low cost, compact structure and long life. The condensation process of steam inside helical coil is investigated for different mass flux ranges from 68 kg/m2s to 97 kg/m2s and different saturation temperature range from 111 ºC to 120ºC. Heat transfer coefficient and overall heat transfer coefficient is plotted against mass flux which shows it increases with them

Keyword : Helical coil; condensation; mass flux; Saturation temperature; heat transfer coefficient.

Transmission system is mechanisms which transmit the power develop by prime mover, often the term transmission refers simply to the differential gearbox that provide torque and speed variation. To design and develop transmission system, used Brushless DC motor as a driving source having capacity 2KW to get required speed 45km/hr. Motor get power from battery which charged with the use of solar panel. Selection of differential is done with required gear ratio to sufficient torque and velocity at output.

Title :: CFD Analysis of Condensation Heat Transfer in Helical Coil Heat Exchanger
Country :: India
Authors :: Nidhi R. Singh || Rashed Ali
Page No. :: 10-14

In the present study effect of steam temperature on heat transfer coefficient is studied using ANSYS Fluent (2015). In this study CFD analysis is performed to validate experimental data of condensation heat transfer coefficient. Steam temperature is varied from1030C -1150C and its effect on heat transfer coefficient is done. Three helical coils having different coil diameter is used. It is observed that as saturation temperature of steam increases heat transfer coefficient increases and as coil diameter increases heat transfer coefficient decreases and the percentage of error is within 9-15%.

Keywords: Helical coil; condensation; CFD; Saturation temperature; heat transfer coefficient.

Page No. :: 15-20

Automation is today's fact, where things are being controlled automatically, usually the basic task of turning ON/OFF certain devices, either remotely or in close proximity. In this paper an attempt is being made to proposed automation of a machine, namely Mechanical Unit Injector (MUI) tester, specially used for the testing of mechanical injector. The automation of a MUI tester can be done by using pneumatic system and pressure sensors. There are mainly two operations-calculate leak of time of Fuel Injection Pump (FIP) and check the fuel pattern. With the help of this operation, testing of an injector is done. By doing automation of this machine, time consumption for operations reduces and errors in operation minimizes.

Keywords: MUI, FIP, Injector, pressure sensor, pneumatic system.

Title :: Application of Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix as a feature extraction technique to monitor wear of cutting tool
Country :: India
Authors :: Prashant K. Ambadekar || Dr. Chandrashekhar M. Choudhari
Page No. :: 21-29

The traditional methods make use of sensors to monitor the wear of a cutting tool. The application of digital image processing in determining tool wear is gaining importance. GLCM is the most widely used higher order statistical technique for feature extraction to monitor tool wear. Contrast and homogeneity has been proved as the two best texture descriptors of GLCM. The accuracy of GLCM largely depends on the orientation of the pixels considered to obtain these descriptors. This paper presents the effect of varying pixel pair spacing (pps) and pixel pair direction (ppd) on contrast and homogeneity. An attempt is made to provide one of the solutions to consider the orientation of the pixels while computing GLCM.

Title :: Kinematic Synthesis of Overlay Welding Station Of Elbow
Country :: India
Authors :: Pradip P. Patil || R.S. Nehete
Page No. :: 30-37

Overlay welding also known as cladding, is a process in which one or more metals are joined together by welding to the surface of a base metal as a layer in order to improve the corrosion resistance strength of the base metal. in case of conventional type of automatically welding machines, overlay welding of inside surface of elbows cannot be done accurately as there are many areas were the welding torch cannot reach due to curvature effect of the bent section. As a result it became a common practice to perform the welding by hand with the consequent decrease in productivity. The purpose of this paper is to find a solution so that the complete overlay welding of elbow can be done by welding arm itself and thereby increasing the efficiency of the production with no need of manual welding..............

Page No. :: 38-42

The aim of the concern work is to design, develop and fabricate the chassis for solar vehicle. A chassis is a skeleton of vehicle. The chassis not only forms the structural base but also a 3-D shell surrounding the occupant which protects the occupant in case of impact and roll over incidents. The design and development process of the roll cage involves various factors; namely material selection, frame design, cross-section determination and finite element analysis. The frame modeling is done with CATIA software. All frames structure is analyzed in static test using ANSYS software. The static tests are conducted using ANSYS to determine if the vehicle frame could support a total weight of all vehicle components and one driver.

Page No. :: 50-55

The transmission system on a ship transmits power from the engine to the propeller which in turn is convertedinto forward thrust. The entire transmission assembly consisting of engine, gearbox, transmission shaft and propeller is located on the hull part of the marine vessel. Marine vessels are available for various applications with varying types of engine and transmission requirements. A lot of human efforts and time are expended in designing of Marine propeller shaft and its related components. Also, there are chances of human errors during the designing phase. One can overcome the difficulties encountered in designing any product by using automation. The idea is to automate the process of calculation and generation of 2D drawing of Marine propeller shaft and its related components by programming and integrating the software such as Spyder and Rhinoceros using Python language

Page No. :: 56-62

Robots are widely used in many fields of industry nowadays. They have multiple applications and inspection is one of them. This inspection includes the monitoring of internals of pipes and channels, identifying and rectifying problems respectively. Thus such smart mobile robots help to acquire the relevant data of pipes automatically. Pipelines undergo corrosion, oxidation resulting in reduction in thickness of walls of the pipe because of being buried underground. Corrosion can also occur not only outside but also inside. This can reduce the strength and lifetime of the overall pipe section. Cracks can be formed in these sections due to fatigue and lead to leakages and in special cases can fail catastrophically. Thus various measures are taken into consideration to mitigate corrosion. Pipe inspection is essential to locate defects caused by the above aspects while the pipe is in operation.

A new cooling system for a single cylinder internal combustion engine for maintaining a constant ideal engine temperature is shown. This system consists of a number of separate pipes carrying water passing around the engine cylinder. It consists of a fan that is used for cooling by forced convection. It consists of a number of temperature gauges for measuring the temperature and a heating system for solving the problem of cold starting. By using this system the problems of overheating of the engine, cold starting can be prevented and also the problem of knocking and detonation can be reduced to a certain extent.
