Abstract:

Diesel engine is an internal combustion engine which has made life easy and faster in today's modern life. These engines are consuming lot of diesel fuel and have been substantially increasing the atmospheric pollution. There is a concern over the availability of diesel fuel a derivative of fossil fuel, as these sources are limited and in near future they may get exhausted. Hence, there is a need for an alternative source of fuel which is abundant and environmentally friendly. A promising renewable and clean burning diesel replacement is biodiesel fuel. This is an alternative fuel made by different methods like standard base-catalysed transesterification, pyrolysis, thermal cracking etc., An alternative method called catalytic cracking, a fast reaction process is investigated for production of quantitative and qualitative biodiesel. Among many available catalysts, alumina catalyst is selected for production of biodiesel. Catalytic cracking process is carried out on white grape seed oil to convert it into white grape seed biodiesel. On production of biodiesel, physicochemical properties are tested and compared with diesel. Biodiesel thus obtained is a very near quality diesel fuel as per ASTM standards this can be used in the existing diesel engines. Experimental work is carried out on a single cylinder [Kirloskar TV-1 (DI), Water cooled, 4-Stroke] diesel engine with diesel fuel and also with biodiesel blended in various proportions with diesel at different engine loads. On analysis, it is inferred that there is a minimal deviation in engine characteristics with white grape seed biodiesel and with its blends when compared to characteristics of engine fueled with diesel. This gives a scope for further research to be carried out with other catalysts to produce biodiesel with different vegetable or animal fat based oils.

Abstract:

Now-a-days X-rays are playing very important role in medicine. One of the most important applications of X-ray is detecting fractures in bones. X-ray provides important information about the type and location of the fracture. Sometimes it is not possible to detect the fractures in X-rays with naked eye. So it needs further processing to detect the fractures even at minute levels. To detect minute fractures, in this paper various edge feature extraction methods are analyzed which helps medical practitioners to study the bone structure, detects the bone fracture, measurement of fracture treatment, and treatment planning prior to surgery. The classical derivative edge detection operators such as Roberts, Prewitt, sobel, Laplacian of Gaussian can be used as edge detectors, but a lot of false edge information will be extracted. Therefore a technique based on orthogonal wavelet transforms like Haar, daubechies, coiflet, symlets are applied to detect the edges and are compared. Among all the methods, Haar wavelet transform method performs well in detecting the edges with better quality. The various performance metrics like Ratio of Edge pixels to size of image (REPS), peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and computation time are compared for various wavelets.

It has already been proposed that Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs) can be good candidates for such applications. In this paper, we have carefully analyzed the theoretical model of a DRA and have proposed various mathematical methods for its analysis. The methods proposed herein can reduce the complexity of analysis and design of circuits involving DRAs.

Abstract:

In this paper, we have analyzed the performance characteristics of OFDM data transmission with regard to a new high speed RS decoding algorithm. The various characteristics identified are mainly speed and accuracy of the transmission irrespective of channel behaviour. We consider two cases viz. data transmission without error control and data transmission with error control. Each of these cases are duly analyzed and it is proven that high speed RS decoding algorithms can actually benefit OFDM data transmission for advanced communication systems only if implemented at the hardware (VLSI) level because of significant processing overhead involved in software based implementation even though the algorithm may have lower computational complexity.

Abstract:

The Non Linear Optical materials have acquired new significance with the advent of a large number of devices utilizing solid state Laser sources. Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate one of the Non Linear Optical material having superior non linear optical properties has been exploited for variety of application. In the present work, KHP single crystals were grown by slow evaporation technique with Barium metal ion as a dopant. The grown crystals were subjected to powder XRD analysis and the result shows that the Ba2+ ions does not alter the crystal structure, but it enter into the crystal lattice of pure KHP. The optical transparency of the grown crystal was studied by UV-Visible spectroscopy, the molecular structure was confirmed by FTIR analysis and its thermal stability by TG/DTA analysis. The improved SHG efficiency of barium doped Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate crystal could enhance the nonlinearity behaviour. In addition to this, the electrical parameter such as dielectric constant was studied in detail.

Abstract:

The characteristic performance of asphalt pavement always depends on the properties of bitumen, volumetric properties of asphalt mixtures. Bitumen is visco– elastic material where the temperature and rate of load application have a great influence on its behavior. There are different solutions to reduce the pavement distress such as using Thiopave (binder extender and asphalt mixture modifier) in the mix design. Thiopave can significantly alter the performance properties of the mix and it is helpful to extend the life span of pavement. In this study, investigating use of thiopave and the change in the performance properties is dependent both on the percentage of virgin binder using VG-30 bitumen that is substituted with thiopave with different percentages. The study indicated that 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% replacement of binder was done with thiopave. The most notable impact of the addition of thiopave to a bituminous mixture is an increase in the stiffness of the mixture for better resistance to fatigue cracking and rutting. Thiopave materials can have a positive impact on laboratory mixture performance. The addition of thiopave has been shown to significantly increase Marshall Stability. From this study it is observed that thiopave can be utilized up to 30% to 40% as replacement to bitumen.

Abstract:

In cloud computing, data generated in electronic form are large in amount. To maintain this data efficiently, there is a necessity of data recovery services. To cater this, we propose a smart remote data backup algorithm, Seed Block Algorithm. The objective of proposed algorithm is twofold; first it help the users to collect information from any remote location in the absence of network connectivity and second to recover the files in case of the file deletion or if the cloud gets destroyed due to any reason. The time related issues are also being solved by proposed seed block algorithm such that it will take minimum time for the recovery process. Proposed seed block algorithm also focuses on the security concept for the back-up files stored at remote server, without using any of the existing encryption techniques.
