Abstract: Key quality characteristics identification of complex electromechanical products can be abstracted as the problem of dimensionality reduction of high-dimensional data in the model. Its purpose is to reduce irrelevant and redundant quality characteristics under the condition of information without loss as far as possible. The definition and classification of quality characteristics are introduced in the paper based on the research on quality characteristics. The principle and method of key quality characteristics identification are analyzed and described, and the current researches at home and abroad are summarized. At last, a summary and outlook. are given..

Abstract: Traffic related issues and road accidents are two of the major and persistent issues faced in everyday life. Traffic congestion can lead to drivers becoming frustrated and engaging road rage. Mostly these accidents mainly depend upon traffic conditions and driver behaviour. Driver's behaviour is one of the most concerned factor among this which includes aggressive or passive drivers, young inexperience drivers. The perceptual and cognitive factors involved are driver expectancy effect, glare, visibility, driver's dark adaption, road illusions & driver's perception reaction time........

Abstract: In general, wind turbine blades operate in subsonic regions along with turbulent flow conditions. This paper deals with noise due to turbulent inflow around the blades based on Amiet's and Lowson's model formulation .This mechanism is predicted using numerical simulation for different observer azimuth positions and various rotor speeds of turbine. The influence of turbulence intensity, length scales on the sound pressure levels is illustrated. The effect of blade geometry characteristics on sound pressure levels is implemented. The influence on power production.......

Abstract: The cardiovasualar diseases have become contemparary and continueosly growing problems. The main reason for such problems are the intra vessel depositions of plaque, cholesterol ect,. A traditional cure for such problems is implanting a stent. Stenting is one of the most impartent methods to treate atherosclerosis. Coronary stents are small metallic tubes in heart arteries to prevent the arteries from clossing up. Over 40 different types of stents are commercially available or in development and they are made up of stainless steel, Co-Cr alloy, plantinum, tantalum ect........

Abstract: The combustion process taking place inside the engine cannot be directly visualized for the analysis purpose but the same can be possible by performing the experiment and listing the data into graphical form and by the curves of graphs we can conclude the main core of the experiment. Generally combustion is divided into three major parts pressure-crank angle study, pressure-volume study & fuel-line pressure. This paper includes the study of combustion of CI engine when it is experimented by two different types of nozzles. The study gives a brief idea of the amount of pressure and volume attained inside the combustion chamber of CI engine.

Abstract: The performance of any engine can be determined by the efficiencies of engine. The research work in the field of performance includes the calculation and analysis of efficiencies and fuel consumption. The overall idea about the performance can be achieved by conducting the experiment. Moreover the study regarding the nozzle is also integrated in the research so that the main working principle and design of nozzle can be studied in detailed. Also the pollution is a major problem in today's life so this paper also includes the study and analysis regarding the exhaust gas emission created by the vehicles on road. Thus the integration of performance and emission study gives the perfect idea about the actual CI engine.

Abstract: This investigation was carried out to find the replacement of fossil fuels for solving the problem of large exhaust emissions from engine. The main purpose of research was to mix water with diesel and make stable emulsion using various types of surfactants for achieving the performance of engine as well as reduce the exhaust emissions from it. ED5( 93% Diesel, 5% Water, 1% Span 20, and 1% Tween 80) and ED10 ( 88% Diesel, 10% water, 1% Span 20, and 1% Tween 80) were made . These two fuels were stable in nature. So these both fuels were used as fuel in engine and results were obtained. Emission characteristics were also compared by taking parameters such as oxides of nitrogen (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), carbon dioxide (CO2).

This is achieved to some extent by judicious use of natural resources in construction practices. In the recent years the demand for construction materials has grown hugely, so has the quantity of construction and demolition waste, putting tremendous pressure on the surroundings. This has encouraged the use of recycled mixture in concrete that not solely permits for a additional economical life cycle of natural resources however conjointly contributes to environmental protection resulting in property development............

Abstract: This study was initiated to find the Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) of single cylinder diesel engine operating on palm seed biodiesel and compare them with SFC of engine when operated on pure diesel and blend of 50% diesel and 50% palm seed biodiesel. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the effects of variable parameters like Blend ratio, Compression ratio, Injection pressure and load on performance parameter, Specific fuel consumption. Since there are higher number of parameters and levels, the number of probable models are high. So, for selection of optimum parameters, huge analysis work is required which takes somuch time. To neglect this problem, Taguchi method is used. The set of combination for factors and levels are achieved with the help of orthogonal array.

Abstract: Advance composite materials of Aluminum alloys Al8090 have high Strength to weight ratio. This feature of this metal has been a matter of study among the engineers. The recent manufacturing processes have solved the misery of manufacturing using aluminum alloys. This resulted in a strong eager for Aluminum alloy application in all the fields of engineering. The development stages started in aerospace, Automobile and aircrafts in earlier stages itself. The connecting rod is a subject of study. The project here deals with application of Aluminum alloy and boron carbide in connecting rod components replacing steel with design change accompanying that can improve the material change aggressively. Design of connecting rod using ANSYS 13.0.

Keywords: Stir casting, connecting rod, boron carbide, and Aluminum 8090-LM3.

Abstract: Internal combustion engine convert potential chemical energy in the form of heat derived from a fuel into mechanical energy. Probability 31% of the energy removed in an IC engine is transform into work. The reaming energy is lacking in the form of heat and friction in the engine. Engine components are designed to convert energy in an IC engine for maximum efficiency. Material used for engine components must withstand heat and stress created inside the engine during operation, and meet size and weight requirements. Engine components commonly required in reciprocating engines include the block of engine, cylinder head, crankshaft, piston and piston rings, connecting rod, bearings, flywheel, and valve train.............
