Item Predictive Maintenance of Car Brake System(2020-09-21T06:27:08Z) VIJAY KUMAR, VIncreasing the efficiency of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system by reducing the power consumption has become extensively important due to the rising cost of nonrenewable fossil fuels and environmental concern. Therefore, finding an ideal way to reduce power consumption in commercial buildings without compromising with the indoor comfort is analytically challenging. One of the proven ways to achieve energy efficient HVAC system is by novel design of system configuration. Each component of an HVAC has specific design requirement and it provides us the opportunities for energy saving. Energy efficient HVAC can be created by reconfiguring the traditional existing system, but it’s cost effective. This project investigates and reviews an approach for increasing the performance of an existing HVAC system without replacing any of the components and to demonstrate its ability to improve the performance by reducing power consumption. This is possible by analyzing the previously collected data and determining a data pattern that is subjected to various environmental conditions and to obtain optimal parameters that is required to run HVAC system. By making the system run at optimal rate, consumption of power reduces and cooling increases.Item Digital Twin for Water Domain(2020-09-21T06:25:00Z) MANOJ M, HOLAGIIncreasing the efficiency of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system by reducing the power consumption has become extensively important due to the rising cost of nonrenewable fossil fuels and environmental concern.

The Driver Machine Interface will act not only as an interface for locomotive drivers, but also as a point of contact between the driver and the railway signaling system. The objective of this communication consists in the evaluation of the performances of a system in the presence of failures, because today we note an evolution from the classic referential of Dependability (evaluation of probabilistic indicators for a given mission, each mission evaluated corresponding to a set of very specific performance levels) towards a benchmark of Performance Engineering. In fact, in the classic approach to Dependability, the mission levels chosen arbitrarily (maximum mission profiles, critical) among the set of possible trajectories of the system, lead to decision-making in the design process based on partial considerations. However, today, an industrialist must be able to commit to the achievement of performance, the specification of which includes all the hazards likely to be encountered during the operational life cycle of the system.Item Design and Development of Smart Power Systems for Buildings(2020-09-21T06:15:57Z) A SATISH, KUMAR AThe project worked on was a part of Automation and IIOT domain, hence, the project is related to the same. Automation mainly is concerned with the control system that is centralized. This, subject comes under IIOT which is Industrial Internet of Things that has a lot of designing a hardware system that connect to the area or desired devices and is controlled through cloud operation. Here, the project is connected to AWS IOT Service that helps make it easy for coding and designing. The building automation is an industry project wherein the building is operated by a one system that can be controlled and maintained by a single person. This, mainly deals with automation of the entire building and perform an analysis and maintain the consumption of power by the devices connected to this system. A Power Monitoring System is a system of meters associated with the Internet to give constant information on the force framework in your office.

A Web Application is introduced and designed observing framework is a significant advantage for practically any sort of vitality purchaser. Vitality customers have a wide assortment of contemplations and concerns where vitality use is included. This is to a great extent because of the decent variety of burden types and prerequisites, vitality utilization plans, and the office's degree of toleration for a not exactly perfect vitality source. All in all, there are four fundamental classes of purchasers: modern, business, administrative, and private.Item Eagle on Mindsphere(2020-09-21T06:04:59Z) Shashank R, Shankar; Maurya, Reddy Y; HritikClimate change, also called global warming, refers to the rise in the average temperature of the earth’s surface primarily caused due to usage of fossil fuels that release harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Hence, the need of the day is to look towards more renewable sources of energy that do not contribute to the carbon footprint. One such technology that has taken prominence in view of this crisis is Photo Voltaic (PV) or Solar Power Production. One of the biggest challenges for integrating PV into our energy systems is to overcome the sporadic and uncontrollable nature of PV power output. Hence, building a timely and efficient prediction model can be extremely beneficial in system planning and market operation of PV frameworks. This Project provides a comprehensive review of five regression based prediction models that accurately predict solar power output on the basis of environmental feature data. The data is collected by deploying IoT enabled sensors connected to a cloud platform. The cloud platform enables historical data referencing to build precise models for the prediction algorithm. Machine Learning Techniques such as Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Decision Tree Regression (DT), Random Forest Regression (RF) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were employed to make predictions. These techniques were evaluated by considering standard regression metrics of MSE, RMSE and MAE. It was seen that Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) model achieved much lower error values in all three performance metrics. It was also noticed that all other models achieved almost similar residual errors after training. The SVR model in particular achieved the lowest of the group thus showing that it has a really good generalization capability, with high prediction accuracy. All the models achieved acceptable levels of error; however, the ANN algorithm performed the best and is the recommended algorithm for solar power prediction systItem Predictive Maintenance (PdM) for Wind Turbine Rotor(2020-09-21T05:56:55Z) Nishant, Jha; Sonal Maria, Roche; Pawan, SrivastavThis project titled ‘Predictive Maintenance for Wind Turbines’, aims at finding the causes of failures in wind turbines and the corrective measures that can be taken beforehand in order to prevent them from happening. The prediction of faults saves time, costs and energy, especially in large scale industries where the main aim is to achieve maximum efficiency. Condition monitoring and fault detection algorithms of wind turbines are important systems that contribute to reducing maintenance costs and downtime of wind power plants. Furthermore, wind power plants are generally located in distant sites which makes reliability even more important. Wind turbine faults lead to the need for repair and/or replacement actions and result in loss of energy production. Moreover, in some cases, failure in a component also affects other components and even the entire wind turbine. Considering all these facts, it is significant to detect and isolate wind turbine faults as early as possible to take required actions for preventing such undesired results. Besides, with the decrease in maintenance costs, wind energy will become commercially more competitive compared to other energy sources.Item Document Digitization- Text Recognition(2020-09-21T05:46:12Z) N, Nitin; Athira, Ajayakumar; P. Giri, KishoreThis project highlights how Extended Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (EMNIST) database can be put to use, to create clean and synthetic images of texts in different handwriting styles from the set of available images. This project presents a detailed review of Optical Character Recognition, the methods using which we can classify character by detecting and extracting the position of a character from synthetic images. With the help of the image processing, the raw image is cleaned by first converting the image into grayscale and applying the thresholding techniques, before it is sent for classification, so as to give a higher probability of successful recognition of characters. Once cleaned, the characters in the images are segmented based on lines, words and characters. These individual character images are resized to 28* 28 pixels and fed into the neural network for classification. The predicted string after classification is checked for any errors in spellings and finally, the output is written in an XML or JSON file which contains the predicted string, position of the string as well as the likely wordsItem Safe Ride-Detection of Humps and Potholes(2020-09-21T05:41:24Z) SudharaniIndia is the fastest developing Country within the World. Although there are many features in the growth and development of India. One in every factor which is leading in downfall of the event is roads and their infrastructure. India is the fastest growing economy, is thought to possess an enormous network of roads. Roads are flooded with the traffic. It's become highly difficult to manage the traffic. They carry almost 90 to 92 percent of Country’s passenger traffic and nearly 65 percent of products transported in bulk by truck, train, ship, or aircraft. It's extremely essential that roads are well built and powerful. An integral because of vehicular area networks, which is that the need of the hour today. Roads in India normally have speed breakers in order that the vehicle’s speeds are often controlled to avoid accidents. However, speed breakers don't seem to be distributed evenly with irregular and unscientific heights.Item Design and Development of Smart Garbage Collection System(2020-09-19T08:26:22Z) Faisal, Ahmed; Saaju, SP; S, NaveenThe new era of Web and Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is being enabled by the proliferation of various devices like RFIDs, sensors, and actuators. Smart devices are embedded in the environment to monitor and collect ambient information. In a city, this leads to Smart City frameworks. Intelligent services could be offered on top of such information related to any aspect of humans’ activities. A typical example of services offered in the framework of Smart Cities is IoT-enabled waste management. Waste management involves not only the collection of the waste in the field but also the transport and disposal to the appropriate locations. In our project we have focused on the adoption of smart devices as a key enabling technology in contemporary waste management. Solid waste generated is an ever growing problem at local regions or at global levels. There is no proper disposal of solid wastes that eventually pollute all the components of the green environment (i.e. air, land and water) at regional and global levels. Since there is rapid increase in producing or consumptions, quantity of wastes generated by the urban society has increased. The problem is more severely faced in the developing countries than in the developed countries, as the economic growth as well as urbanization is more rapid. The continuous flow of garbage in all places where people move around creates unhygienic situations which may invoke several injurious diseases among the people. To avoid this increasing accumulation of waste, a smart garbage collection system that will minimize the human contact in person with the garbage is proposedItem Development of Cost Effective Super Hydrophobic Coating for Various Materials(2020-09-19T08:22:18Z) Shashikanth, Reddy; Chidri, Vinod; Goutham, G; Sedavi, RioThe aim of this project is to develop a safe hydrophobic solution having excellent chemical stability at room temperature that can coat any and every material and can be used for commercially icephobic products aiming for an environmental friendly and cost effective. The purpose of this project is to create a hydrophobic coating that is applicable for both metallic and non-metallic materials, hence protecting the material from corrosion and degradation by water and other liquid solutions including grease and fats. This solution can also be used to coat wood that are to be used for construction purposes and help prevent the absorption of water into the wood and hence protect the wood from rotting as well as from wood eating insects. This project aims to explain the hydrophobic behaviour and discuss latest hydrophobic technological breakthroughs. Since Super-hydrophobic surfaces and coatings can fundamentally change how water interacts with surfaces and the fact that the earth is a water world, it can legitimately be said that this technology has the potential to change the world.Item Machine Learning based Energy Source Management System for Series-Parallel Full HEV using Karanja Biodiesel (Millettia Pinnata)(2020-09-19T08:17:43Z) Ashwanth, Ramesh; Parth, RawriIncreasing energy consumption and pollution levels call for the development of methods capable of being implemented with immediate effect to fight global climate change and reduce the dependency on non-renewable sources of energy. This has to be done without significant difference in any existing systems and need of further requirements to allow a major shift feasible. One of the methods which can be resorted to is the development of a special Biodiesel Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) which completely relies on green energy. The project work presents a new concept of a Series Parallel Diesel Electric Hybrid Vehicle which makes use of B100 Karanja Biodiesel as a substitute to the petroleum diesel. The focus is laid on eliminating the disadvantages caused due to the usage of B100 biodiesel by making use of a machine learning algorithm. The algorithm is trained using multiple factors affecting the Oxidation Stability (OS) of Karanja biodiesel. The work has been supplemented with Simulink models to understand and implement the control logic in real time operation of the vehicle. Power flow models have been described under each mode of HEV operation. A nationwide successful implementation of such a method can effectively eliminate dependence on non-renewable petroleum-based fossil fuels, excessive dependence on power grid, lack of localized charging infrastructure and excessive emission of greenhouse gases.Item Design, Development and CFD Analysis of Hot End Extruders Heat Sinks(2020-09-19T08:14:50Z) Abhishek, N; Keshava Kumar, M; Prathik Kumar, BAt present the Additive manufacturing is the innovative technology in manufacturing industry for its cost effectiveness, portability, and its environment friendly and bio-degradability, it has some predominant factor affecting the build quality which needs to be taken into consideration.Our primary focus is to ensure the right amount of heat is supplied from the heater block, and the required amount of heat is absorbed in the melting process and dissipated appropriately making the Hot end extruder suitable for all types of Filaments including those with metal reinforcements as well, provided the 3D printer being set to the optimal settings. Our Project mainly focusses on the development of the extruder with Al 2024 MMC and simulating both the stock material and the MMC material for comparison. The procedure consists of designing, development and CFD analysis for both the stock material of Al 6061 and Al 2024 MMC.Item Design and Fabrication of Prototype for Direct Conversion of Heat to Electricity(2020-09-19T08:11:29Z) Akhil, C H; Hrishikesh, A; Jishnu S, Nair; Rashid S, SalimPower cost is increasing, environmental pollution and global warming are issues that we are dealing with in the present time. To reduce their effects, scientists are focusing on improving energy harvesting-based power generators. Generating electricity in present, due to the shortage of fossil fuel, oil, gas, etc. are the limiting resources hence resulting new technology is needed for electricity generation. By converting waste heat into electricity through the seebeck effect without producing greenhouse gas emissions. This waste heat recovery is one of its most promising applications which is becoming a noticeable area of research. The primary challenge of this technology is its relatively low heat converting to electricity, but low efficiency is not a major issue because of the technology we using is waste heat and costless thermal energy input. The system efficiency of seebeck effect technology is depend on the module properties and system configurations. In this project, a theoretical model has been developed to produce the electric power from low grade waste heat using seebeck technology. From the optimization of the model it is found that waste heat temperature difference, arrangement of peltier modules, enhancing heat transfer co- efficient plays an important role to maximize the net electric power. Heat source which is need for this conversion is less when contrast to conventional methods. By using this energy, we can charge the mobile and electronics equipmentsItem Design and Fabrication of A Landing Gear Mechanism for Uneven Surfaces(2020-09-19T08:06:52Z) J Vishnu, Sagar; Hassan, Umar; Nitin, Leonard; Balaji, RA typical landing gear of a helicopter consists of two solid skid tubes and two cross beam structures on which the fuselage is mounted. A damper, which are basically shock absorber systems which help in absorbing the vibrations induced by the helicopter and also cushions the landing process of the helicopter, are placed at specific locations of the landing gear depending on the loading acting points and stress concentrations. The helicopter may also have wheels as their landing gear depending on the role of the helicopter. However, this type of landing gear set-up requires a flat platform for the helicopters to land on thus a helipad is constructed. A helipad is a flat platform surface constructed using either concrete or timber. Currently the challenge faced by this type of orthodox landing gear system is that this system is constructed only for a flat surface landing and no landing system is yet developed for uneven surfaces. Even the slights change in the contour of the landing area disturbs the entire helicopter cabinet and also may cause the helicopter to topple or crash during landing.Item Design and Development of Blender Machine for Poultry Feed using Glycerol(2020-09-19T08:03:09Z) Monish Kumar, K; Dilip Kumar, D; Shiva Prasad, N; Rakshith, ReddyContinuous advances in the poultry industry have stimulated the use of alternative feeds in poultry diets, and in particular glycerine, given its availability via the increase in world production of biodiesel. Glycerol is the principal component of glycerine and can be used as an energy source to replace e.g. corn. Mixing plays a crucial role in whole production process of many industries from feed mill for poultry birds and other animal in meeting their demand expectations. This project was an attempt towards designing and fabricating a machine which is capable for mixing food consistiuents for poultry feed. We have used mild steel for the construction. This machine was designed and fabricated to reduce human effort, time and also get uniform mixing by exploring various principle associated with machine design. The principal of this operation is an simple one where crushed poultry feed and glycerin is placed in stationary drum and rotary blades agitates the feed mix the various poultry feed and glycerin as a result for uniform mixing of feed. There are many blending machine for poultry feed in the market but the main problem faced for small scale poultry is that they are too expensive so an poultry feed blending machine was designed, fabricated and has been tested which are cheaper when compared to the blending machine in the market . We have designed the blending machine having capacity to carry 25 Kg of poultry diet. In this blending machine we are going to mix glycerol with the poultry diet which helps in replacing some amount of the food making it even more cheaper. We have blended both poultry diet and glycerol together for 10 minutes and 20 minutes and the results were tabulatedItem Fabrication of Push Type Crop Harvesting Machine(2020-09-19T07:59:51Z) CHALAM, DV; BHARATH, G; ARUN KUMAR, S; DEEPAK, BAgriculture forms the backbone of our country economy; about 55% of citizen is depending on agriculture. Thus developing our country means providing our farmers with more “Sophisticated” and “Advanced Tool” which would decreases overall time required for the task and the task will become more easy and convenient. Crop harvesting is last stage in farming which takes maximum time of farmer among all farming process. In India harvesting is generally done manually. Thus our intention is to provide farmer a “CROP HARVESTER IN AGRICULTURAL APPROACH”. This machine consists of simple mechanism make to run by an engine which will be economical to farmer and will take less time for harvesting operation. Crop harvesting is a process of cutting the crops closed to the ground or pulling the plants when they are ripped out. It include cutting the stems of coral crops like tuar, Jawar, Bajra, Maize etc. closed to the ground. in our country it is generally done by sharp sickle. On the basis of this large number of crop harvester are in use at today’s date, which are available at different shape and size and on different power supply. Some of them are pneumatic crop harvester, hydraulic crops harvester and crop harvester running on tractor engine. Since they are costlier keeping in to consideration the economic ability of our farmer it is required that is should be simple and should fulfill the same intention which are achieved by “CROP HARVESTER IN AGRICULTURAL APPROACH”.Item Fabrication of H-Darrius Wind Mill with Solar Tracking and Home Automation(2020-09-19T07:46:15Z) Chris Joseph, R; Nitheesh, B; Nithish Kumar, J; Sai Ram Chandra, RajuThis project deals with harnessing power from 2 energy sources i.e. Solar tracker and a HDarries Wind turbine, this is integrated with a home automation system which helps the user to save energy and using technology based on Iot (Internet of Things) an interface is created between the system and the user.

This work has been done considering the current scenario of our national rivers and lakes.. The government of India has taken the initiative to clean these rivers and lakes and have also invested a huge capital in many rivers across India. They have also arranged various cleaning projects like “Namami Gange'', ‘’Narmada Bachao’’ and other major and medium projects in various towns like Ahmadabad, Varanasi etc. By taking this into consideration, this system has been designed to clean river water surface. This project consists of a Robotic Arm(with 5 Degrees of Freedom) placed at the center of a catamaran boat, the arm is used to pick up weeds from the water and a rotating blade is used to cut off the weeds. On either side of the robotic arm 2 dustbins are placed(on the respective boats) to collect the sea weeds. An ultrasonic height monitoring sensor will be used to note when the bins are full so that the boat can come back to land to dump the waste. The boat and robotic arm will be controlled through an app that has an option of traditional buttons or voice control. This whole system is managed by the Main Controlling Embedded System (Arduino Uno Microcontroller).Item Implementation of Solar Panel for the Enhancement of Endurance for Drones(2020-09-19T07:27:54Z) Sai Sri Raj., P; Raghav. V., Rao; Mahithesh, GowdThis project deals with the enhancement of the flight duration of a quadcopter. The flight time of the existing drone ranges between 25-30mins for a mid-size quadcopter. With the current flight time, it is hard to perform certain operations such as surveillance, contour mapping, etc. as these processes require more flight time. With this additional flight time, several operations can be carried out with ease. The aspect of weight and how the arms of the quadcopter would react to the additional load had been simulated and were found to have a negligible effect in terms of deformation. The connection to make the solar panel generate power in real-time has been described in detail in the project. The project aims at delivering an increased flight time of 4 – 6 mins based on the theoretical calculations. The processes that can be achieved with the increased flight time have also been shared in the project. A brief idea of the future scope has been mentioned to pave the path for future development in the project which would help in the evolution of drone technology.
