Study of noise reduction in single cylinder common rail direct injection diesel engine at idle speed

The design and development of modern internal combustion engines are marked by the reduction in exhaust gas emissions and an increase in specific power and torque. The reduction of noise and vibration is one of the significant attractiveness towards making diesel engines for a long time now. Countries around the world continue to legislate against the release of specific levels of exhaust gas emissions such as nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, and smoke. The customer requirements for combustion noise need to be met, which can be completed by optimizing the combustion system. This can be met through the development of advanced combustion systems and the increased flexibility of fuel injection systems and ECUs. This research work presents the effects of Fuel Injection Pressure on the combustion pressure and optimizing the engine noise by using Taguchi method.

Case Study

Geographical Information System (GIS) as a tool for management of an estate (A case study of three bedroom housing estate Maiduguri road Damaturu, Yobe state, Nigeria)

This paper focuses on Geographic information system (GIS) as a tool for effective management of an estate and its resources such as road, parcel building, electric poles, land use, ownership and address. The methodology includes capturing of the geometric and attribute data for parcels, buildings and other amenities such as electric poles, well, drainage system using land surveying method, creation of database (spatial/attribute) for the features in the area under study, and performing spatial analyses on the databases presentation. The geometric data acquisition was carried out using GPS and Total Station while oral interview was used for attribute data acquisition. The processed data was drafted with AutoCAD 2017 software while the database was designed using ArcGIS 10.3. Database (Extraction) queries were generated in ArcGIS 10.3 and the result of these queries is a useful tool towards decision making. These queries are useful tools for the management of the estate by the state government towards effective tax collection and provision of basic amenities. Based on the findings of this research, the following recommendations were made: Government should encourage the use of GIS, so as to create more awareness on the use of GIS as a tool for decision making, GIS is recommended in producing composite map that will show the parcels, buildings, boundary, roads, drainages, wells and electric poles, and finally, GIS is recommended to the authorities that are saddled with the responsibility of the management of an estate.

Study of adsorption of Sn(II) on synthetic three component adsorbent and to develop a method to recycle it from e-waste

In the present investigation, a technology has been developed for the separation of tin which will be applied for its recovery from the touchscreen of the mobile(E-Waste) to the extent of 92.14 ± 2.28% employing batch adsorption method. Synthetic three component adsorbing material, zirconium phosphosilicate (ZPS) material has been used as a solid phase in the adsorption. Amount of tin recovered by adsorption has been determined by using UV-Visible Spectrophotometer. (Equitronics , EQ-825) and 8.5x10-3 M Sodium morpholine thiocarbamate solution as a spectrophotometric reagent. Sn(II) forms a colored complex at slightly acidic medium with the solution of the reagent having maximum absorption at 390nm. The technique is optimized by varying amount of adsorbent (ZPS), pH, time of adsorption, etc. Under the optimum conditions of adsorption, an effect of various anions and cations in the adsorption of Sn (II) also has been studied. Interfering cations has been masked by using suitable masking agents so as to make the process more selective. It has been observed 100mg of adsorbent is sufficient to recover 5µg of tin at pH 2 and contact time of 6.0 min. The method thus developed has been applied to recover an amount of tin from the water samples spiked with tin and Indium.

Research Paper

Prevention of theft

This system contains PIR sensors to detect intruders(obstacle), GSM Module for communicating with user's Phone and automatic air freshener(filled with Diethyl Ether) for making the intruder faint. The whole system is controlled by Arduino. The system collects all information from PIR sensors, the process that information and sends call and SMS to corresponding GSM mobile phone number by using a GSM modem and gas will be released from the automatic air freshener. If PIR sensors detect any obstacle in a covered area then a signal send to Arduino, which activates GSM, make a call and SMS to the homeowner mobile phone using the GSM Module and from automatic air freshener a gas (Diethyl Ether) will be released to faint the intruder(20 Minutes approx).

Design and simulation of DC voltage multiplier using 555 timer

This paper contains simulation and design of DC voltage multiplier using principle of charging, discharging and storing properties of capacitor with the help of different stages of boosting with each stage containing capacitor and diode set, contributing to particular boosting multiplier. In this project we have used 4 stages of cascaded multiplier, each stage adding 12 volt, stepping up 12V DC input to 48V DC output. Since charging and discharging of capacitor requires pulsating DC voltage, so a constant DC voltage is first converted into pulsating DC voltage with the help of a 555 timer.

Automatic license plate detection and recognition using OpenCV

License plate recognition (LPR) has always been one of the crucial predicaments faced due to in numerous reasons such as severe lighting conditions, complex background, unpredicted weather conditions, low light and more. This paper is to enlight the above-mentioned muddles through a model based on OpenCV for enhancing details of edge information in license plate with improved text detection and recognition methods. LPR is a cutting-edge, next-generation system with imminent technological application in almost every field of the transportation industry.
