Abstract: Pure plant oil was closest to the diesel engine at the time of its invention. It is well known that Rudolf Diesel himself displayed a diesel engine running on groundnut oil at the Paris world exhibition in 1896. Up to now the quality of fuel and combustion engines increased constantly. Sustainable plant oils are an affordable, safe, social and environmentally friendly fuel supply, especially at countries of its origin, not only for generators and tractors but also for transport vehicles. State of the art today is an innovative decentralise production method for 2nd generation plant oil complying with DIN 51623 fuel quality and an engine technology for pure plant oil, biodiesel and diesel.............

Abstract: The past decades of research is diverted primarily in making concrete without cement or atleast partially replacing by suitable alternatives. For its availability and problems associated with, flyash has been given priority to use in concrete in high volume or total replacement of cement resulting in geopolymer concrete using activated flyash of low calcium type as the source material. However, few are dealt on the high calcium flyash that too mainly on achieving the required compressive strength and not much on the short term engineering properties like consistency and setting.............

Abstract: The usage of industrial by-products in construction industry can be reduced the pollution effects on environment. Geopolymer concrete is a concrete in which Portland cement is fully replaced by fly ash and GGBS (Ground granulated blast furnace slag). The present study covers the use of E-Waste as partial replacement of fine aggregate in Geopolymer concrete. Sand is replaced with E-Waste at 10, 20 and 30 percentage.Alkaline liquids used in this study are the solutions of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). Molarity of sodium hydroxide (12M) is considered.............

Abstract: RC frames with unreinforced masonry infill walls are a common form of construction all around the world. Often, engineers do not consider masonry infill walls in the design process because the final distribution of these elements may be unknown to them, or because masonry walls are regarded as non-structural elements. Separation between masonry walls and frames is often not provided and, as a consequence, walls and frames interact during strong ground motion. This leads to structural response deviating radically from what is expected in the design. The presence of masonry infills can result in higher stiffness and strength and it is cheap and built with low cost labor..............

Abstract: Submerged arc welding process is very important component in many industrial organizations. The research on factors controlling weld bead profile in SAW process is essential to high quality welding procedures. Quality is very important element in today's manufacturing world. Experiments are conducted using SAW process parameters viz. welding current, arc voltage and welding speed on dissimilar materials of 10 mm thickness to study these parameters on weld bead width and weld bead hardness. The experiments are designed using L8 orthogonal array considering two factors and three levels.

Keywords: Submerged Arc Welding, ANOVA, Design of Experiments, S/N Ratio.

Abstract: Solar energy is a very large, inexhaustible source of energy. The power from the sun which is intercepted by the earth is tremendously larger than the present consumption rate on the earth of all the commercial energy sources. Therefore the fabrication of such a solar water heater is done which can utilize this energy in a better way. Square shaped aluminium tube coated with a black paint constitutes the solar absorber on the above collector. The copper heat exchanger is placed between solar collector and water tank. To improve its efficiency distilled water is made to flow through the collector and then its testing is carried out and some desirable results were acquired.

Keywords: Solar water heater, Collector, Heat exchanger.

Abstract: Shot peening leads to local plastic deformations in the near-surface regions, which result in the development of compressive residual stress and the improvement of surface hardness in the aerospace structural components. These properties can be enhanced by careful selection of the peening parameters. PMG Cover of AL2024 Aluminum Alloy is widely used in the generator manufacturing cover due to its high specific static strength. In this study a Taguchi Grey Relational Analysis is presented to optimize the surface properties of residual stress, micro hardness...........
