Design and thermal analysis of ceramic coated Mercedes Benz piston

Piston is considered to be one of the important parts of an internal combustion engine. It is a part which bears the pressure of the combustion of the gas inside the cylinder. Normally they are made up of cast iron which bears the gas pressure. It is used to deliver the power via connecting the rod to the main shaft of the engine. Nowadays they are made of aluminum alloy to keep it lightweight. As the top surface of the piston has to bear the load, it is advisable to cover it with some coating material so that it could bear the thermal load. Piston made up of gray cast iron coated with a ceramic material (MgZrO3) which is bonded by special material (NiCrAl) is designed for Mercedes Benz/1985 by machine design approach to determine the dimensions of the piston and then it is modeled in ANSYS Workbench 17.1. The pressure of the 5 N/mm2 is applied on the piston. The equivalent stresses are found to be same for both coated and non-coated piston. Thermal analysis of both coated and the non-coated piston is done. The properties like equivalent stresses, temperature variation, and total deformation under pressure and thermal load are determined with the change in the thickness of the ceramic coating material. It is concluded that ceramic coated piston is able to handle the thermal load and is indifferent towards the structural load.

Influence of technologies like BIM, SAP and other tools for enhancement of quality and productivity of the organization based on lean manufacturing techniques

Armed with technologies from Building Information Modeling (BIM) to IoT, contractors are well trained to translate the construction information into operational insights. Using Lean Manufacturing Techniques there are innumerable opportunities to streamline the business process in construction. SAP provides smart technology-enabled workforce across contractors and employees. SAP eliminates the downtime waiting for materials and reduces cost. This paper discusses the role of BIM and SAP tools which ultimately optimize for the continuous innovation on quality and productivity of the organization. These tools provide an excellent platform for professionals to work in the highly integrated environment at any stage of complete building delivery process. BIM is linked to ERP which provides visual component through the entire process and helps to minimize errors. These innovation tools integrate business transaction and analytics to digital core making everything simpler, faster and smarter.

Nutririch millet (Finger millet) and Legume (Macrotyloma uniflorum) in developing Ready-To-Eat (RTE) food

The proposed article is envisaged in developing RTE foods by effective use of underutilized Nutri-cereals (millets) and legumes which focuses on the functional, rheological and nutritional aspects of millets and legumes used in formulating RTE foods. Further, it also highlights the significance of their consumption and in formulating extruded food. In this study, an attempt has been made to develop nutririch RTE food by incorporating legume with millets. Millet (Finger millet) was blended along with corn and wheat in the proportion of 0:100, 25:75, 50:50 and 100:0. Legume (Macrotyloma uniflorum) flour was added at the rate of 10, 20, 30 and 40 percent. Among these levels of trails 25:75 (finger millet: corn-wheat) with 10 percent legume was awarded highest acceptability score of 8.30 compared to all other samples resulting with significantly highest protein percent (12.25%) compared to control (11.05%). The rheological properties such as hardness, crispiness, gumminess, and chewiness were observed to be 718.10N, 28 numbers of peaks, 138 and 23.62 respectively. Similarly, functional properties namely Expansion ratio of 3.31, Water absorption index of 6.14 g/100g, Water solubility index of 3.52 g/100g, the water holding capacity of 142.55 g/100g and Oil holding the capacity of 68.18 g/100g respectively was observed for millet and legume-based RTE food.

Employee engagement: Factors affecting organizational excellence

The study walks around the basic concept of employee engagement in order to find how it assists in getting the maximum out of the employees as the main goal of any organization is high productivity. It also focuses on how employee engagement can be used effectively emphasizing on its foundation, namely employee commitment, job satisfaction, and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The study further emphasizes mainly on employee engagement by investigating the four chief drivers, namely interpersonal relations/communication, work-life stability, leadership, goal setting theory. The study highlights how these drivers impact employee engagement significantly. Despite heightened interest shown by academicians and practitioners in the construct of employee engagement, there is a paucity of literature on these four drivers and their impact on employee engagement. Therefore, this paper attempts to show interdependence between the drivers of performance and the parameters of employee engagement. Originality/Value: The study will help in understanding how the performance of employees in any organization is a significant aspect and companies are striving to get an edge over each other by focussing on their employees’ mental and physical well-being. Once the employees of an organization are enthusiastic and passionate about their work, they tend to relate their emotional faculty with that of organization’s physical being and may go extra miles for the success of the organization. Employee engagement is, then seen as an interaction between two variables, i.e. employee and the employer and hence, comes out to be one of the most important drivers in impacting the performance within the organization.
