Abstract: This paper proposing a model for carrying light loads in forging industries. In industries like forging the job has to be carried between different units for various operations. The job carrying may be at high temperature and the job has to keep in the particular temperature for the forging purpose. The carrying of load and the placing of job over the hammer or to any other unit is a major factor. To reduce the time and the risk in transporting and placing the job over the hammer or to the furnace the carrier has a major role. By this paper I am proposing a model that help the workers to reduce their difficulty of transportation and to reduce the risk in placing the job over the hammer or in furnace.

Keywords: forging, carrier, furnace, transportation, temperature.

Title	:	Effect of Mach number on Stiffness and Damping Derivatives for Oscillating Hyersonic Non-Planar Wedge
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Asha Crasta, S. A. Khan

Abstract: A similitude has been obtained for a pitching oscillating Non planar wedge with attached bow shock at high angle of attack in hypersonic flow. A strip theory in which flow at a span wise location is two dimensional and independent of each other is being used. This combines with the similitude to lead to a onedimensional piston theory. Closed form of simple relations is obtained for stiffness and damping derivatives in pitch. The present theory is valid only when the shock wave is attached with the nose of the wedge. With the increase in semi vertex angle of the wedge the stiffness as well as the damping derivatives assumes a high value, and the center of pressure of the wedge also shift towards the trailing edge. Whereas, with the increase in Mach number both stiffness and damping derivative assumes lower values.

Abstract:Road failures may be caused by many factors. In Batu Pahat district, open channel system is adopted and built on Batu Pahat Soft Soil and may be a crucial factor to probable damage of the rural roads structure. This study is focused on the drainage system for rural roads in Parit Raja, Batu Pahat. The type of damages is observed and the causes are identified. Recommendations on the best method are made to improve the effectiveness of current drainage system. Both site and laboratory geotechnical testing are carried out to analyze the causes of failure to the drainage system. Laboratory testing such as sieve analysis, moisture content, Atterberg limit, specific gravity and shear strength are conducted.

Title	:	Effect of Vacuum Residue on Rheological Properties of Low Viscosity Bituminous Binders for Road Construction
Country	:	India

Abstract: In this paper effects of different dosage of a typical vacuum residue (VR) on rheological properties of low viscosity bituminous binder are investigated. Detailed rheological studies were performed using Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR). Four approaches were used to investigate the temperature susceptibility of binders. Temperature susceptibility decreases with increase in VR percentage in VG10 showing high penetration index (PI), low viscosity-temperature susceptibility (VTS) and high penetration-viscosity number (PVN). Isochronal and isothermal graphs are plotted for different blends. From this study, it has been concluded that with the incorporation of VR in VG10, resistance to rutting in bituminous roads increases. VR modified bitumen shall perform better in high tempertaure climate.

Abstract: The Fossil fuels play an important role in the world energy market. The World Energy Outlook claims that energy generated from fossil fuels will remain the major source. Population of the world increases day by day and living standard of the people will improve, there will be a shortage of source of energy. So researchers are continuously trying to find out the best alternative fuel. As an alternative fuel, Bio fuel required for becoming the fuel source for the future. With the use of Bio fuel there is no more modification is required in Existing engine. This study shows the comparison of performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine using diesel and biodiesel as palm seed oil with various proportions by volume (B10, B20, and B30). And in this research paper we briefly discuss replacement of fossil fuel with palm seed oil and diesel and its effect on the engine performance and emission characteristics.

Abstract:The present study about the experimental investigates on the Performance and Emission of Single Cylinder Four Stroke Diesel engine under the influence of magnetic field. The influence of magnetic field on the engine performance parameters such as specific fuel consumption, break thermal efficiency, exhausts emissions etc. by applying the magnetic field along the fuel line immediately before fuel injector. The strong permanent magnet of strength 9000 gauss is applied to fuel line for magnetic field. At different engine load conditions the experiments are conducted. An exhaust gas analyzer is used to measure the exhaust gas emissions such as CO, CO2, HC and NOX. With the application of magnetic field the percentage reduction in fuel consumption is about 8% at higher load, the percentage reduction in HC and NOX is about 32% and 27 % respectively. The CO emission gets reduced with the application of magnetic field at higher load. The percentage reduction in CO2 emissions is reduced about 11% at average of all loads with the effect of magnetic field.
Keywords: Efficiency, Emission, Exhaust gas analyzer, Magnetic Fuel Energizer.

Title	:	Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling and Investigation of Horizontal Airflow Ventilation System in Surgical Site in Hospital
Country	:	India

	:	10.9790/1684-11284046

Abstract: : The present paper deals with the numerical study of horizontal laminar flow ventilation system for surgical site in hospital. When the orientation of supplies openings and exhausts are altered, the performance of ventilation system in terms of effectiveness of removal of contaminated particles is also affected. In this investigation, the performance of new horizontal Single Sided Supply and Exhaust (SSSE) ventilation system have been evaluated and compared withconventional Vertical Unidirectional (Laminar) ventilation system using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique.
It has beenobserved that contaminant control is found more effective in the case of SSSE horizontal ventilating system over the Vertical Unidirectional ventilation system. It is so happened because the airflow pattern over the critical area of surgery is not affected by the overhead obstacle i.e., surgical lamp. Investigation also reveals that the thermal plume induced by the surgical wound and the surgical lamp, is not counteracted by the supply airflow pattern, which plays an important roll in positive way.
Keywords:entilation system, Airflow pattern, Infection control, surgical site infection, CFD, Single Sided Supply and Exhaust (SSSE) ventilation system.

Abstract: The concept of water addition to the IC engine has been around for over 50 years. Diesel engines are nominated for highly emission producer like NOx, CO, CO2 and HC. These emissions are highly depending upon the combustion chamber temperature which is exceeding up to 750 K. Therefore by controlling peak combustion chamber temperature NOx formation can be controlled effectively. The latent heat of evaporation of water is 2256 kJ/kg. In the study, water injection method is applied to a Single cylinder diesel engine to control NOx emissions. Water injected in intake manifold of diesel engine is by using calibrated burette. For Constant compression ratio, 9, 16, 38ml/min water mass supply to engine. Results are observed for 1 to 8 load condition. The obtained results are compared with conventional diesel engine in terms of NOx, CO, CO2, HC emissions. In the experimental results, it is determined that the engine NOx,decreased and CO, CO2, HC increased.

Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to introduce "Combined Core Pillar Concept" for earthquake resistant design of a building . A 12 storey building model of height 43m is taken in which this concept is applied .All other methods which has been used in this model are - building with friction isolator (FI) , with rubber bearing (RB) , with shearwall (fixed base), with shearwall having base as rubber bearing and friction isolator, with cross bracing & with k-type bracing . A comparative study of the model with these different techniques is done with the help of software SAP 2000.The method used for the analysis is RESPONSE SPECTRUM METHOD . Here the design spectra recommended by Indian Standard Code IS 1893-2002(PART I) is used. From comparative study the Combined Core Pillar concept is found to be most effective.
