Study on thermal conductivity of fiber-reinforced light weight concrete using natural fibers

Lightweight concrete has lower thermal conductivity and a lower coefficient of thermal expansion. This project aims to develop Eco-friendly thermally insulated lightweight concrete by using fibers. Hemp and sisal are natural fibers that play a major role in the reduction of thermal conductivity. Vermiculite is a naturally available material that can be used for lightweight concrete furthermore provides good thermal insulation. Reducing the thermal conductivity by adding fibers in different proportions (1%,1.5%,2%) in concrete where Vermiculite is partially replaced with fine aggregate and Fly ash is partially replaced with cement in which shows a reduction in thermal conductivity and also it can be used for lightweight concrete. The thermal conductivity of the concrete is tested for different mix proportions. Then the mechanical property and durability of the concrete are tested for different proportions. The thermal conductivity of the fiber-reinforced lightweight concrete is tested and the results show that when the amount of fiber increased the thermal conductivity is low. Thus, the low thermal conductivity is obtained by natural fibers. The mechanical strength of the different proportions of mixes are carried out and results show that the increase in fiber reduces the strength. The plate and wall panel are analyzed in Abaqus for the control mix and low thermal conductivity fiber-reinforced lightweight concrete mix which gives the minimum thermal conductivity and appropriate strength. The results from these experiments are found out that the natural fibers and vermiculite can be a good solution for thermally insulated Eco-friendly building construction

Implementation of IoT based smart village for rural development

Villages are considered the heart of our nation India and the economic growth of villages along with cities is as important to us. Hence, for the development to percolate to the grass-root level, the focus must be devoted to the progress of the village. Enabling the concept of IoT (Internet of things) for increasing the possibilities of agriculture growth and productivity, sanitation and well maintenance of drainage which concerned cattle health and human health would lead to the growth of farmers for their smart lifestyle. Therefore, farmers need appropriate facilities and guidance in making their village smart, so this paper IoT implementation proposed for farmers where various data is collected regarding the weather, moist content in soil, blockage and clearance drainage along with harmful gases and dairy products where this information is delivered. This system through raspbian OS, taking input from sensors like IR, UV, LDR. The data is analyzed by collective information and auto-mechanism of some instruments which are connected to reach the target are initiated along sending appropriate messages through GSM to their phones, where Wi-Fi is by default feature included raspberry pi board as no internet connection is required again for communication.

Use of solar energy to improve the performance of a jaggery manufacturing unit

Jaggery is a boiled sugar cane juice used as a sweetener. Because the combustion process in the jaggery industry has an energy-intensive nature, previous literature studies have introduced various changes in processes and equipment to affect its energy efficiency. This study helps to comprehend commodity alterations and utilization in jaggery by proffering an exergy analysis. The baseline process has been modified operationally to calculate the efficiency of exergies and exergy destruction. By the amendments have respectively enhanced thermal performance and exergy efficiency by 11.2 percent and 0.8 percent. Extensive exergies were expended as excessive energy as flue gas which, due to change requests, was reduced by 11.5 percent. The data indicate that while environmental flue gas was the most apparent type of gas, exergy destruction by irreversible combustion factors caused the largest type of resource use. The study in this report increases the efficiency of energy use as well as setbacks through exergy analytical form.

Home security surveillance

Advancing technology in the field of facial recognition systems (FRS) and optical character recognition(OCR), closed-circuit television (CCTV), and automatic license plate readers could make it possible to create a system that could make the gates of society/ homes intelligent. This project examines the convergence of these technologies to design an efficient system and improve the speed and accuracy of potential burglary or break-in identification, also through facial recognition systems and optical character recognition, we aim to automate Guest Authentication and to provide another layer of protection and create a deterrent to burglary and also automate guest authentication via FRS and OCR (which will make the process safer as well as efficient)

Design and Implementation of a Vending Machine and its performance evaluation using EDA tools

In today’s world, vending machines have become an extension of the physical and online stores and are evolving as one of the largest consumption modes. Nowadays, you will be able to see them in malls, offices, stations, parks, etc. These machines are rapidly becoming a great part of one’s shopping experience. This is the reason why a lot of people are looking forward to investing in them and earning money with this very convenient business opportunity. This project aims to design a common vending machine with an additional feature (reverse vending machine) that enables a consumer to recycle the container/wrapper of the item purchased by them for which appropriate incentives are returned. It offers the person to carry out their transaction via cash/card /online payment modes. Unique QR codes/Barcodes are associated with each product to have information about the product and its cost. The reverse vending machine consists of a scanner that scans the code of the product which is inserted into the machine and completes the transaction accordingly. The vending machine is programmed using Verilog HDL and is simulated on ModelSim-Intel FPGA Edition Software. Chip planning, timing, power, and various other design and performance analysis are carried out using Intel Quartus Prime Software Suite.
