Analysis of Readiness Level and Comparison in Automobile Industry of Gujarat by Identification of Critical Success Factors

The main purpose of this study is to identify the critical success factors within automobile industry of Gujarat. This study helps to find out the whether the organizations have the foundation to implement the lean tools and techniques. A survey is conducted within the automobile parts manufacturing organization of the Gujarat. The present study illustrates the reliability of the data obtained from the survey and analysis of the available data in terms of the critical success factors within the organization. Ultimately this study illustrates the present scenario of the awareness of the lean manufacturing in the organization as well as the primary tool needed to be considered while initiating the lean manufacturing implementation. Lean manufacturing offers waste-reducing strategies like the elimination and identification of the waste and also enhancing their productivity and competitiveness.

Performance Analysis of Air Preheater in 210MW Thermal Power Station

The efficiency of the boiler in a thermal power station is greatly depending on the utilization of waste heat in the flue gas by air preheater and economizer. The increasing in the efficiency of the boiler can be achieved by increasing the performance of air preheater and economizer. Enhancing heat transfer rate by changing the profile of air preheater will lead to increasing the performance of the air preheater and economizer. The changing profile and increasing heat transfer area will increase the heat transfer rate. In 210MW Mettur thermal power station notched flat profile is used as heat transfer area in air preheater segment. In order to improve heat transfer rate, the notched flat profile is replaced by double undulated profile and single seal are replaced by the double seal. Hence heat loss in the air preheater is minimized. The performance of economizer is enhanced by increasing the diameter of the coils. Hence the economizer and air preheater absorb additional heat from exhaust flue gas. The changed profile in air preheater and increased diameter in economizer were analyzed by using ANSYS fluent software. Based on the results the percentage of efficiency in air preheater and economizer is significantly increased.

Prediction of Axial Load Carrying Capacity of LWC INFILLED CFST Columns- ANOVA Approach

Concrete filled steel tabular columns have gained immense importance in recent decades due to numerous structural benefits especially in developed countries like china, Japan, U.S.A, Britain. Composite circular steel tubes Columns - with light weight concrete as infill for two different grades say M20 and M30 are tested for ultimate load capacity by previous researchers (both at international and national) in addition to results obtained by previous post-graduate students of Ghousia Collage of Engineering, R & D center, Civil department have been verified by ANOVA approach is presented in this paper. Steel tubes are tested for the different combination of Length, Thickness & Diameter with the help of Taguchi’s L9 (Latin squares) -Orthogonal array in order to save time and cost of experimentation and also to determines the effect of each parameter. This study further presents a numerical investigation into the behavior of concrete filled tabular columns using three-dimensional nonlinear finite element software ABAQUS 6.10.1 is carried out in this paper. The analytical results obtained are compared with the numerical results obtained from Abaqus 6.10.1. For this purpose a comparison between design codes Eurocode -4 and AISC-LRFD has been made in evaluating the axial compressive strength of concrete filled tabular columns. The obtained results were analyzed with the help of Signal/Noise (S/N) Ratio, Main Effects Plot & Analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Mini Tab V16. Regression equations are developed for all two grades of infills separately. This paper focuses on modeling of Infilled concrete filled steel tube (CFST) column under axial loading and economical aspects.

Automation of Multiproduct Herbal Juice Manufacturing Plant

In the market there are more types of herbal products are available which are used as medicine. There is a Neem is one of the most useful medicinal plants. There are many other plants also use as medicine like Aloe Vera. Neem plant is the most eco-friendly plant for a human being from medical or/and hygienic point of view, And also for aggro point of view. Each part of Neem tree has medicinal property. Juice of Neem leaves free from chemicals useful for exporting the products to countries that are very cautious about residual pesticides. Also, the extracted residue can be used as organic fertilizer, thus increasing aggro output. Automation is useful for reducing human effort in industrial working. This gives more accurate results with high quality. With help of automation, the only single worker can handle the manufacturing plant. We used ARM microcontroller based automation system for multiproduct herbal manufacturing plant system is basically embedded system. The main objective of this system is to automate the process for the efficient functioning of the plant. In this automation project, we control solenoid valves and relays means motor, pump with the help of ARM7.

Validation of Ultimate Axial Load Carrying Capacity on Composite Steel Tube Column In filled With SCC by Using Nx-Nastron

This Research focuses on validation of Ultimate axial load carrying capacity of CFST column filled with Light weight concrete and self-compacting concrete using NASTRON. Three-dimensional nonlinear finite element modal is developed to study the force transfer effect between concrete and hollow steel tube. Model is developed for understanding the complex behavior of conventional composite circular steel tube and self-compacting concrete infilled tube with various grades and different diameters (D), thickness (t) and length (l). Using hyper mesh, the model is meshed and model is used in NASTRON finite element software. The result obtained for M20, M30 Grades of SCC concrete is compared with Analytical Codal relations along with standard results obtained from previous Researchers.

Studies on Road Accidents on National Highway No.6

Globalization has impacted many developing countries across the world. India is one such country, which benefited the most. Increased, economic activity raised the consumption levels of the people across the country. This created scope for increase in travel and transportation. The increase in the vehicles since last 10 years has put lot of pressure on the existing roads and ultimately resulting in road accidents. It is estimated that since 2001 there is an increase of 202 percent of two wheeler and 286 percent of four wheeler vehicles with no road expansion. Motor vehicle crashes are a common cause of death, disability and demand for emergency medical care. Globally, more than 1 million people die each year from traffic crashes and about 20–50 million are injured or permanently disabled. There has been increasing trend in road accidents in Jalgaon over a few years. GIS helps in locating the accident hotspots and also in analyzing the trend of road accidents in Jalgaon.
