Performance and emission characteristics of Pyrolysed fuel in direct injection diesel engine

The interest of using alternative fuels in diesel engines has been accelerated exponentially due to a foreseen scarcity in world petroleum reserves, increase in the prices of the conventional fossil fuels and restrictions on exhaust emissions such as greenhouse gases from internal combustion (IC) engines initiated by environmental concerns. Pyrolysis oil is used to be fueled with diesel. The usage of oxygenated fuel will reduce emission level. Adding Pyrolysis oil to petroleum products allows the fuel to combust properly due to the presence of oxygen, which increases the combustion efficiency and reduces air pollution. The higher activation energy of alcohols leads to better resistance to engine knocking that allows higher compression ratios and greater engine thermal efficiencies. In this study, by varying the engine load and Pyrolysis oil percentage (10% & 20%) with Diesel in DI Diesel engine the influence of Pyrolysis oil /diesel fuel blends has to be analyzed while comparing the performance and emissions characteristics with diesel fuel. The properties of the mixtures were estimated and the exhaust gas components such as hydrocarbons, CO, CO2, and NOx emissions have also been measured with the gas analyzer and have been compared with base fuel.

Automatic control of temperature and moisture of room cooler using Arduino

The paper is based on temperature based automatic control of the cooling fan. LM-35 is used for sensing the room temperature. The circuit automatically senses the temperature and sends the signal to the Arduino. The range of LM-35 is 0-100◦ C. Electronic temperature controlled relays are used for an operation of the submersible pump. For the controlling purpose, Arduino microcontroller is used. The temperature that is sensed is compared with the program which decides the gate pulse for triac. Fan speed is changed according to the duty cycle of triac. Temperature values are visible on display. This project also involves the automation of submersible pump by using moisture sensor. It throws light on how water can be saved using this method.

Age detection system based on web browsing pattern

Today almost everyone around the globe uses the internet. These internet users have different attributes like age, browsing behavior, gender, location, etc. that plays an important role for different business enterprises to target their users and also helps in providing the better user experience. Earlier researchers demonstrate that the user browsing behavior is related to their basic attributes. In this project, an approach has been used to detect the age group of users based on their browsing patterns using a data mining algorithm. Age information of different users is inferred using the web browsing behavior which varies for different users.

Socio-demographic correlates on acute and chronic effect of cannabis on human cognition: A comparative outcome study

The current study aim was to examine the socio-demographic correlates on the acute and chronic effect of cannabis on human cognition. Methods: Based on purposive sampling method a group of 30 male acute cannabis patients and similarly 30 chronic cannabis patient selected. Results: Cut off points for all demographic correlates and cognitive dysfunction on human cognition Scores was significantly high as compared to acute cannabis group and its cognitive dimension (p<.001).

Seismic analysis of plan and vertical irregularity of building with and without infill action using ETABS

Earthquake is the most expensive natural disasters human face. Strong earthquake in the wrong place at the wrong time can cause great financial damage and cost. And in the present stage, many buildings are irregular in shape means both plan and elevation irregularities earthquake effect on high rise building is more dangerous as compared to a regular building. To overcome the effect on the earthquake on a regular building, it is necessary to identify the performance of the structure to withstand against disaster against both new and existing one. In this paper, the behavioral study of 5 bays X 5 bays 8m each of G+7 building with a provision of lift core walls are done. The height of each storey is 3.2m and have irregular plan and elevation. In this study, cases like a bare frame, boundary infill, complete infill and soft storey at ground floor for each model are considered. All buildings are located in zone III. Linear dynamic analysis using response spectrum method of irregular building is carried out using ETABS 2016 Ultimate 16.2.0 by considering mainly three irregularities (1) Mass irregularity 2) Stiffness irregularity (3) Geometric irregularity. For this study, behavior parameter considered are (1) Eccentricity (2) Maximum storey displacement (3) Time period (4) Maximum storey acceleration (5) Storey shear.

Retinex processing for automatic image enhancement using wavelet transformation

Retinex is a method used for image processing. Image processing has a great role in Medical science. Medical images such as MRI, CT, Ultrasound, X-Ray has to be processed for proper diagnosis. Retinex technique can be used for the processing of these images. By retinex processing it can provide better dynamic range compression, color consistency and lightness rendition. The different methods proposed by Retinex algorithm include Light Compensation Algorithm in Color Facial Image, Retinex for bridging the gap between color images and the human observation of scenes, Color Image Contrast Enhancement by Retinex, Color Image Enhancement with Adaptive Filter. Single scale Retinex causes halation due to Gaussian filter and it does not preserve the edges. While the multiscale Retinex has a very high computational cost. So in this project, we propose retinex algorithm based on wavelet transformation which has low computational cost, i.e. it takes a lesser amount of time and higher efficiency. The input image is processed by wavelet transform. Here the Gaussian filter and retinex is applied only to the half the resolution of the image. Thus the computational cost is reduced as the number of pixels for processing is reduced and the gaussian surround space can be small. Histogram equalization is applied to improve the visual effect. Moreover, we gain higher entropy by using clipping and gain/offset operation. At last, we compare the proposed output with that of the standard MSR output. The experimental results show that proposed method provides satisfactory image enhancement without halation.
