Item Remote Controlled Weght Lifting Screw Jack(2019-07-10T07:11:57Z) P N GovindWith the increasing levels of technology, the efforts being put to produce any kind of work has been continuously decreasing. The efforts required in achieving the desired output can be effectively and economically be decreased by the implementation of better designs. Power screws are used to convert rotary motion into translator motion. A screw jack is an example of a power screw in which a small force applied in a horizontal plane is used to raise or lower a large load. The principle on which it works is similar to that of an inclined plane. The mechanical advantage of a screw jack is the ratio of the load applied to the effort applied. The screw jack is operated by turning a lead screw. The height of the jack is adjusted by turning a lead screw and this adjustment can be done either manually or by integrating an electric motor. In this project, an electric motor will be integrated with the screw jack and the electricity needed for the operation will be taken from the battery of the vehicle and thereby the mechanical advantage will be increased.Item EFFECT OF INJECTION PRESSURE AND PREHEATING ON THE FUEL SPRAY CHARACTERISTICS OF DIESEL BLENDED WITH NEEM OIL(2019-07-10T06:18:26Z) KOKKIREDDY YASWANTH; AMARNATH S JAKAPURE; SAHAD SAGEERIn the present study, a Nozzle pressure diesel tester was used to test the spray pattern of diesel oil and Neem oil blends. This experiment was conducted to study the fuel spray pattern of bio-diesel for different blends at different temperatures and pressures,then compare these spray patterns with the spray pattern of diesel and also to investigate the fuel properties including specific gravity, density, viscosity etc of diesel and biodiesel fuel. The Test fuels used were a conventional diesel and 20%, 30% blends of transesterified Neem oil with diesel. In order to analyze the fuel spray pattern the above mentioned biodiesel blends were sprayed through fuel injectors of three different nozzle pressures which are 180 bar, 200 bar and 220 bar at room temperature and also elevated and the resulting spray patterns of the biodiesel blends were compared with the spray patterns of conventional diesel fuel. Also the various properties such as viscosity, flash point, fire point of diesel and the two blend of biodiesel were measured by conducting their respective tests. In this workit was found that the viscosities of the various blends of the biodiesel decreases with increase in temperature of the fuel and also that the biodiesel blends of 20 % & 30 % transesterified Neem oil can be successfully used as fuels in Compression Ignition (CI) engines without many engine modification as they exhibit spray patterns very much similar to that of diesel at room and elevated temperatures of up to 40 OC.Item Optimisation of Electronic Fuel Injector Using Machine Learning(2019-07-08T11:31:24Z) Vikram Asokan; Aditya Chebbi; Ajinkya Salunkhe; Shehzar SheriffCurrent day statistics suggest that the rate of increase in consumption of existing non-renewable energy resources is exponential, which by no means is good news. As a result, humanity is moving towards an era of renewable energy resources such as hydropower, wind power and solar power. Through this move, we will be able to recognize more alternatives for power generation to sustain the lifespan on this planet and of this planet. The problem statement proposed in order to give life to this project, is the fact that our most easily exhaustible resource is extinguishing at an alarming rate, and not much can be done about it taking various factors into consideration. This project involves the idea of incorporating the latest Machine Learning concepts into the fuel injection process, so as to improvise on the process, its feedback, etc. This will facilitate for a better driving experience, a self-optimizing control unit and most importantly, efficient fuel usage. In addition to fuel conservation, the aim is to minimize the rubber band effect in high end automobiles with electronically controlled accelerators. The data obtained from reliable sources and equipment, with respect to concerned parameters will then be tabulated and performed an analysis upon, based on which we can progress with designing and training a Machine Learning model that optimises the process of electronic fuel injection.Item Enhancing Fault Diagnosis of Automobile Systems using Machine Learning(2019-07-08T11:28:54Z) SUHAN NAYAK; KUSHAL J; SHESHDHAR PRAKASH; NISHANTH B ROnline fault diagnosis system level for a mechatronic system makes use of a number of sensors which provide number of data from various components that they are linked 2 with the help of the reliability of any system.

Out of the various reasons involved for this evolution is control of various diseases on crops. During initial days there was only hand spraying people use to do. Then slowly there has been development of various methods to spray out chemicals and dusts. Though these devices were highly efficient, there is a need to have certain changes. Chemicals are widely used for controlling disease, insects and weeds in the crops. They are able to save a crop from pest attack only when applied in time. They need to be applied on plants and soil in the form of spray, dust or mist. The chemicals are costly; therefore, equipment for uniform and effective application is essential. Dusters and sprayers are generally used for applying chemical. The application of pesticide is one of the most frequently used methods to protect crops and trees against diseases and insects in agriculture. In the modern agriculture, the usage of pesticides is still increasing, moreover the 90% of these pesticides are being applied in the form of liquid spray and mostly by using the pressure gained from direct energy sources like electrical energy and chemical energy. Increasing public concern about the potential damage of chemical and electrical inputs in agricultural spraying systems has challenged industry to develop new and effective methods of spraying which will maintain environment friendly approachItem FABRICATION OF AUTOMATIC CLEANING SEWAGE MACHINE(2019-07-08T11:12:21Z) TEJAS M; YOGESH KUMAR; SAUBHAGYA RANJAN SAHOO; MURALI.G.MIn this project the proposal concept is to replace the manual work in drainage cleaning by automated system. Now a day’s even through automation plays a vital role in all industrial applications in the proper disposal of sewages from industries and commercials are still a challenging task. Drainage pipes are using for the disposal and unfortunately sometimes there may be loss of human life while cleaning the blockages in the drainage pipes. To overcome this problem and to save the human life we implement design “automatic sewage cleaning system”. We designed our project to use this in efficient way to control the disposal of wastages and with regular filtration of wastages, clearance of gaseous substance are treated separately and monitor the disposal of frequent manner.Item DESIGN AND SIMULATION OF QUADRUPED ROBOT GAITS(2019-07-08T11:08:48Z) Aaqib Rafiq; Sagar KadamThe aim of project is to study and understand the existing model of a Quadruped robot that has been designed by Centre of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, DRDO Bangalore.

ANSYS is used in order to determine the volume and the temperature variation of the air flow in the chimney. A scaled model is designed and developed with power generation capacity enough to light a conventional light bulb. The present study also investigates the influence of tower cross sectional area changes on the performance of a solar tower power plant.Item Design and Fabrication of Hybrid Solar Windmill(2019-07-08T10:59:03Z) John Paul Raj S; K Yaswanth Varma; Riyaz Ahmed Sheik; Varun MThe main objective of “Hybrid Power Generation by Solar Tracking and helical Axis Wind Turbine” wherein, design of the components and their analysis has been carried out and, the fabrication of the model has been done as per the calculations that have been obtained from the design and analysis. Electricity has helped in reducing physical efforts to a very large extent, but, the way in which it is produced is quite a matter of concern. Even today, most of the electricity that we use is produced through conventional methods. These conventional methods commonly use fossil fuels to produce electricity. Not only are these methods expensive, but also cause grave damage to the environment. The use of fuels for the generation of electricity results in increased costs and emissions of hazardous pollutants. The only alternative is a new method that is not only cheap and efficient, but also eco-friendly. The Solar Tracking - Vertical Axis Wind Turbine System is capable of satisfying both these requirements. in addition to being eco-friendly, it is also relatively cheaper when compared to the conventional methods of electricity generation. This turbine uses both Solar and Wind Energies to generate electricity. So, we have two efficient and inexhaustible sources for uninterrupted generation of electricity. The system has two basic components – one for generation of electricity through Solar Energy and another one for generation from Wind Energy. Even in the case of absence of either of the two sources, the other remaining source could be used to supplement the absence of the former. Due to all these features, the Solar-Vertical Axis Wind Turbines could be considered suitable for replacing the existing old means of electricity generation. Because, not only are they cheaper, but also economic and highly efficient. These turbines are gaining ground day by day and hopefully will be helpful in making us achieve the long sought after goal of green and clean energy.Item DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF AIR TO AIR REFUELLING PROBE SUPPORT STRUCTURE(2019-07-08T10:55:26Z) Melvin George; Navaneeth RN; Vijay P; Zuber JAerial refueling allows the receiver aircraft to remain airborne for the longer time. It will increase the range and as Fighter jets can fly for only 2-3 hours doing a regular mission. The receiver aircraft can be topped up with extra fuel in the air, air refueling can allow a takeoff with a greater payload. It also increases the effectiveness of surveillance and patrol aircraft by allowing them to remain in the air longer The main aim of the project is to design a support structure that can withstand the load of the probe when it is engaging and disengaging with the refuelling drogue which is located on the mother aircraft and uniformly distribute the load to it. The various constraints faced while retrofitting are the space availability on the aircraft to accommodate the probe, also the LRU’s placed on various floor’s had to be moved around in order to accommodate the mounting bracket that holds the probe in place.Item FLOW ANALYSIS OF LUBE SYSTEM OF A GAS TURBINE ENGINE(2019-07-08T10:52:16Z) KULDEEP JANGIR; NITIN HOODA; UTKARSH; VIVEK KHANDELWALLubrication is the property to reduce the friction in the engine components by applying a lubricant such as oil to minimize the friction and provide smooth movement to the engine components. During our investigation , the properties of the lubrication oil is being observed with the change in temperature of the engine box and the bearings used in the turbine engine. For the analysis of the lubrication oil we are using the LMS AMESim software. It is a simulation software which gives us a virtual platform to construct and modify the different types of system and test under the different condition. The results will be validated with the experimental data and the change in the properties of the lubricating oil will seen. If the analytical results match with experimental results then the system can be used for the incorporation of new components in the model, prepared in the software, this will lead to the reduction in the cost of testing and also the time involved in the testing.Item DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF MULTI-NUT IMPACT WRENCH(2019-07-08T10:50:04Z) R GANESH NAG; ROSHAN SUHAIL; SHASHANK N; VISHNU TEJ SIn this 21st century modern day life, the principle objective of innovating a product is to extend a sense of convenience to the users of that product. When a car is taken into consideration, it no longer is a luxury, it is a necessity. There are advances being made to make the car as convenient as possible. Example Self-driving cars. As cars are extensively used, it is inevitable that at some point in its usage a flat tyre occurs. Traditionally when a flat tyre occurs, the punctured wheel is swapped with spare set of wheels. This process involves the removal of the Lug-nuts of the wheel rim with a L-shaped wrench and a jack that is provided by the manufacturer. The problem with this process is, while removing the Lug-nuts of the wheel with a Lshaped wrench, it has to be carried out manually. This involves high application of torque to rotate the Lug-nuts. After the wheels are swapped, the nuts have to be fastened, there is a requirement for even higher application of torque as the Lug-nuts have to be tightened. It can be inferred that the process of manually fastening/loosening the Lug-nuts of the wheel requires high torque and can turn out to be much more difficult for women and the elderly, becoming a huge inconvenience in a car which in itself is a symbol of convenience. In addition to the high torque requirement for a manual wrench, it must also be taken into consideration that manual wrenches result in uneven tightening of Lug-nuts when it is carried out by an inexperienced person. Uneven tightening of the Lug-nuts lead to wobbling of the wheels of the car when in motion.Item DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF HUMAN ARM EXOSKELETON TO ACHIEVE EASE OF MOVEMENT(2019-07-08T10:37:43Z) Ram Kumar P; Robin Richard F; Satish Badiger; Vijay Surya VHands are two of the vital parts in the human body. Their natural motor capabilities are crucial for activities of daily living. They offer an extensive variation of functions. Although, there are neuromuscular disorder or aging that may lead to losing or weakening of hand functions. Worldwide, stroke remains a leading cause of physical impairments and functional disability. Hence, we make use various methods to enhance the movement of the upper limbs. We in the recent past have seen many inventions and innovations that have been engineered to support the movements of the human body. Such products have changed the people’s way of looking at physical disabilities and disorders. Many of these technologies have practically enabled people in improving their physical state. In our project we use Pneumatic pistons to help with the movements of the joints in our arm. We will make use of one double acting Pneumatic piston to help pivot the elbow joint. Pneumatic cylinders are operated by an air compressor. In addition to the elbow movement we have attached a gripper which can be used to hold objects. The gripper is operated with the help of a servo motor. The servo motor is programmed using Arduino board. Mini switches are provided to operate the gripper. These mechanisms help the patients motor movements get better and improve their nervous response. The current model made is powered by a compressor with low pressure outlet. In future works, the model can be used as a reference to make exoskeletons much lighter. The projects carried out in the future can also have greater load bearing capacity to not only help with the rehabilitation of patients with neuromuscular disorders but also help in assisting human beings in carrying heavy loads in construction fields, mining, and defence. To achieve higher load bearing capacity, the pneumatic compressor used needs to generate high amounts of pressure. The models made in the future can also be completely portable. Pivoting movement in the elbow joint was achieved with the help of pneumatic piston. The pneumatic piston is powered by a compressor, power supply and solenoid valve to produce extension and retraction. The arm underwent mechanical movement causing the muscles to flex and extend. The double acting piston cylinder arrangement contains flow control valves on both the ports to regulateItem DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF AUTOMATIC VACUUM OPERATED CHALK DUST COLLECTOR (SPONSERED BY KSCST)(2019-07-08T10:33:34Z) H N VIGNESH; KARTHIK B SHETTY; KEERTHISAGAR S REDDY; ANAND REDDY S RThe history of teaching dates back to the start of the first man’s expertise and information passed from generation to generation. Teaching and learning in schools and colleges are done over the years by writing on boards and using various innovations and improvements of the modern technology, but the problem statement here is, there is no device to clean a black board duster in an eco-friendly way. This project is about finding a real time solution for the problems caused by the chalk dust entering into the class room. This project involves the design and construction of an advance black board duster cleaner by Vacuum and Conveyor technology.Item DYNAMIC CHARACTERIZATION OF A CANTILEVER PLATE(2019-07-08T10:29:24Z) JAITEG SINGH; AVINASH VISHWAKARMA; AKASH MITRA; SALEEL HUSSAINModal analysis is the most important method to determine the dynamic characteristics of objects. With this study we can determine natural frequencies and mode shapes. It can therefore be ensured that the frequencies do not match the natural frequencies of the body. This ensures safety of the model by preventing resonance, a phenomenon which may lead to catastrophic failure of the model. A study is conducted on thin rectangular plate, one side of which is clamped. The study uses classical solution, finite element method with the help of ANSYS, and experimental methods- impact hammer test and laser vibrometer test. Further, parametric studies are conducted for correlations by taking a number of parameters into account.Item DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT OF LDPE (LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE) PLASTIC WASTE INTO LIQUID FUEL BY SEQUENTIAL PYROLYSIS TECHNIQUE (SPONSERED BY KSCST)(2019-07-08T10:27:14Z) S Akilesh; Shiva kumar B R; Shivaraj Kumbar; Vinuth KumarPlastics have become a major threat in today’s world. Due to their light weight, durability, design flexibility, they are excessively used in industry as well as household and other fields. The demand for plastic is increasing day by day which now pose a tremendous threat to the environment. The study focus on the design and fabrication of machine to convert plastic into oil as an effort in finding environment-friendly means of waste recycling by means of pyrolysis. It is an alternative solution to increasing problem of waste disposal. Pyrolysis keeps running without oxygen and in high temperature of around 250°C for which reactor is manufactured to give the expected temperature to the response. The performance study for the different blends of the plastic oil was been tested on twin cylinder 4-stroke engine and it was found that the performance parameters such efficiency & emission was within marginable limit. The Project deals with the extraction of oil from the waste plastics termed as plastic pyrolysed oil which can be marketed at much cheaper rates compared to that present in the market. Pyrolysis process becomes an option of waste-to-energy technology to deliver bio-fuel to replace fossil fuel. The advantage of the pyrolysis process is its ability to handle unsorted and unused plastic. The pre-treatment of the material is easy, Plastic is needed to be sorted and dried. Pyrolysis is also nontoxic or non-environmental harmful emission unlike incineration. In this investigation, plastic waste (poly propylene) are utilized for pyrolysis to get fuel oil that has comparable physical properties as the energizes like petroleum, diesel and so on Converting waste plastics into fuel hold great promise for both the environmental and economic scenarios.Item LPG KIT DESIGN FOR TWO WHEELER(2019-07-08T08:38:43Z) Chatura S; Vishwa Ichchangi; Deepak S; Gowtham MAn attempt has been made in this project to use LPG as alternative fuel in four stroke petrol engine to increase the efficiency. Our fore most aim in selecting this project is to use non-conventional fuel as an alternative for conventional fuel which is becoming scarce and costly now days. So there is a huge demand for the alternative fuel for petrol engine bike which are currently running on petrol as fuel, because of this problem we have designed LPG kit which can be fitted to Petrol engine bike so that bike can run either on Petrol or on LPG. using LPG as fuel running cost of the bike can be reduced to half of the price which is spent by Petrol, and installing cost of the LPG kit to the petrol engine bike is also cheaper which is most important factor of this project. Usually a bike normally runs on a petrol fuel in some cases diesel powered bikes are also available in market, but the problem is that these fuel’s resources are in the danger of scarcity and also burning these fuels raises global warming which is also a great threat to entire world. hence an alternative fuel is essential to fight against scarcity, In term of long sight some alternative fuels are suggested and such alternative fuels are Methyl alcohol, Compressed natural gas(CNG), Liquefied petroleum gas(LPG). In this project we have taken LPG fuel fuel as solution for the cause and designed kit. The developed project facilitates auto switch over from Petrol to LPG which is one of the objective of the proposed work. By burning pure fuel in the engine will prevent entry of 1.5crores tons of carbon and NOx pollutant from air per day in India alone,LPG project will drastically improve Air quality, millions of urban people suffering from Air pollutant. Even lot more savings will be on account of engine life and maintenance.Item Eye Blink Sensor Based Automatic Braking And Bumper System(2019-07-08T08:35:41Z) Manjunath G; Mohammed Roshan; Muhammed Nabeel; Rohit Haridas 1NH15ME102 InThe technology of pneumatics has gained tremendous importance in the field of workplace rationalization and automation from old-fashioned timber works and coal mines to modern machine shops and space robots. It is therefore important that technicians and engineers should have a good knowledge of pneumatic system, air operated valves and accessories. The air is compressed in an air compressor and from the compressor plant the flow medium is transmitted to the pneumatic cylinder through a well laid pipe line system.
