Analysis of phase transformations in steel using online monitoring technique - Acoustic emission

  Steel is one of the most commonly used materials today, especially in industrial sectors such as ship building, automobile industry and in power plants. In order to meet the requirements for steel applications, new steels are being developed. In the present study, experiments are carried out to distinguish different phases using on-line monitoring technique - Acoustic Emission (AE). The main objective of this...

Kinematic model of three wheeled mobile robot

    In this paper, the behavior of wheeled mobile robots (WMR) has been analyzed. These robots ride on a system of wheels and axles, some of which may be steerable or driven. For WMRs, there are many wheels and axle configuration that have been used. The present work outlined for five categories of WMRs. The ultimate objective of this paper is to investigate the complete...

Experimental investigation of the influence of air conduction on heat transfer across fibrous materials

  Accurate prediction of the effective thermal conductivity of loose fill fibrous building thermal insulation remains a challenging issue to date.  Most researchers considered the complex problem of heat transfer across a fibrous material to be the sum of heat transfer due to air conduction, solid conduction and radiation for which general empirical relationships were developed from reliable thermal...

Investigations on generation methods for oxy-hydrogen gas, its blending with conventional fuels and effect on the performance of internal combustion engine

  In order to overcome the drawbacks of the regular petroleum fuel, it is the need of time to completely or partially replace the petroleum fuel. But alternative options to petroleum fuel are having disadvantages. An electric or compressed air driven cars cannot be used where high torque is required or using hydrogen as fuel requires very costly storage equipments. In this research work an attempt has been made...
