Qualitative Study to Check Feasibility of Knife Gate Valves for High Working and Testing Pressures

 In the current industrial scenario, emphasis is being laid on cost cutting and induction of versatility in the offerings of a particular company. Satisfaction of the customer is indeed of paramount importance but while doing so, it is necessary to provide technically feasible solutions so that the right product is chosen for the right application. This paper shall study and check the feasibility of offering Knife Gate Valves for high working and testing pressures. Being a member of the family of Block valves used for enabling and disabling the flow, Knife Gate Valves serve the best in demanding applications that include handling of thick and abrasive media which needs to be cut through during operation. However, there are certain applications which include working pressures in the range of 10 bar. In such case, it is necessary to check the feasibility of employing a Knife Gate Valve based on the design and overall valve structure. In order to do the same, this paper shall consider various aspects like applications, purpose of use, suitability of flow media, working parameters and design for various profiles. A conclusion shall be drawn dictating the technical feasibility of employing Knife Gate Valves for high working and testing pressure requirements.

Waste Plastic’s Effect on the Deterioration of Bituminous Mixes in Cold Climates

The modifications in bitumen can be carried by addition of various types of additives. Polymers can be categorized as one of the types of additive. By the addition of Polymers to the bitumen, the temperature susceptibility and also the stiffness get increased. Due to this increase in stiffness, the resistance of the mix to rutting in hot climates is generally improved and thus we can use comparatively softer base bitumen, which results in improved performances at low temperatures. It was observed that after comparing the results of the mixes prepared by the addition of both Anti stripping material with Varying percentages and WPB, and the mixes containing only WPB, the latter provided better results in terms of Retained Marshall stability and Marshall Quotient. It was noticed that control mix after being subjected to repeated Freeze Thaw cycles can lose more than 50 of its original strength hence modification to the mix should be done by addition of 6 WPB which highly enhances the strength of the mix. The mixes with 6 WPB even after 7 Freeze exhibit stability values similar to that of control mix under ideal conditions.

Relative Study on Warm and Hot Bituminous Mixes

 In this work, comparison made between the Warm mix and bituminous mix technology. Warm Mix Asphalt WMA technology is one of the solutions which combine energy savings and environmental benefits. It is a modification of the conventional method of construction of flexible pavements which is surfaced with Hot Mix Asphalt HMA , which involves high mixing temperatures up to 140oC. A bituminous mix essentially consists of coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, filler and bitumen which bind together all the constituents at high temperature. The optimum dosage of Bitubuild WM was found out to be 2 by weight of bitumen and the optimum binder content for the mix was 5.66 for BC samples and 4.68 in DBM samples. No change in optimum binder content was found by addition of warm mix additive. There was a slight increase in densities of mix with addition of warm mix additive. In BC sample, there was an increase from 2.344 g cc to 2.370 g cc and in DBM sample, there was increase from 2.369 g cc to 2.378 g cc. There was a slight increase in Marshall Stability value with addition of warm mix additive. In BC sample, there was an increase from 21.15 kN to 25.53 kN and in DBM sample, there was increase from 20.17 kN to 22.14 kN.

Thermal Analysis of Engine Block

 Several automobile industries are working on it to maintain a proper temperature for increasing the efficiency and also to prevent the engine from thermal damage. So it become important to analyse fins structure for better heat transfer rate. High temperature on the surface of engine block effect the efficiency of engine. Increasing number of fins is not only the criteria to increase the heat dissipation from the surface of fins. Generally, rectangular fins are used in motor bike engine, although the temperature at the surface is in safe limit. By introducing new geometry of fin and if the minimum temperature of new geometry is less than or near about the minimum temperature of rectangular fin is not only help in increasing the efficiency of engine block but also it may help in reducing the weight of engine block. Convective heat transfer is the mechanism of heat transfer and it depends on convective heat transfer coefficient and Contact surface area with air. Fins are surfaces that extend from an object to increase the rate of heat transfer to or from the environment by increasing convection. And the analysis is done by numerical method and on Solid Works software.

An Experimental Study on Bituminous Mix Design using Different Percentage of Crumb Rubber to Improve the Strength of Pavement

 roduction of rubber bitumen by blending of bitumen with crumb rubber from crumb tires is not just a waste treating method, but a possible solution for improving the durability of asphalt pavements compared to roads made of conventional bitumen. The following advantages are usually emphasised improved durability, longer life time, lower life cycle maintenance cost, increased permanent deformation resistance, traffic noise reduction effect. MOL together with University of Pannonia developed a new, patented production method HU226481 , which is capable to produce chemically stabilised rubber bitumen CSRB . Asphalt tests have proved that the performance of CSRB is comparable to high quality polymer modified bitumen. Experience attracts attention to the fact that appearance of a binder of such quality is required in the future since it significantly supports sustainability and quality of road network. In 2010 MOL won a HuF 128 million research grant, partly supported by the EU and Hun gary. Main parts of the supported project are • Implementation of new technology in Zala Refinery prototype plant • RandD work for finalisation of technology • Test road construction and evaluation of the road quality • Marketing support of product sales. Solid waste management has gained a lot of attention to the research community now a days. Out of the various solid waste, accumulated waste tires, has become a problem of interest because of its non biodegradable nature. Road network is important to the economic development, social integration and trade of a country. Inadequate transportation facilities could have an effect on socio economic and cultural development of a country. Stone Matrix Asphalt having good stability, strength and maintenance of the smooth surface of the road and other structures. Stone Matrix Asphalt mix is prepared by blending of course and fine aggregates. Study on road in india indicated increased the volume of traffic as a result huge development of road is required. The SMA mixture is used to restrain the distresses and provide better durability in the bituminous pavements. Aggregate gradation was taken as per MORTH specification for SMA mix. Study resulted that optimum bitumen content for samples prepared by mix of 5 crumb rubber Tyre waste . Mixing of crumb rubber with 5 waste in SMA mix was observed cost effective and economical. Here maximum stability obtained is 13.86 Kn This value as compared to other fibers is a little higher. Study of test result resulted higher stability, strength and durability of roads.

Bio Organic Concotions Influenced Single Bud Set Sugarcaneas Planting Materials

 The scenario nowadays in sugarcane production was the high cost of using multiples nodes cutting as planting materials. A study of single bud set was conducted to determine the performance of single buds as planting materials as influenced by the application of Bio organic concoctions. It was carried out in completely randomized design CRD with six treatments and the differences of treatments was analyze using Analysis of Variance ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HSD Test to determine the treatment effect. The applications of Bio organic concoctions significantly influence the single bud set sugarcane in terms of height cm , number of leaves, and number of lateral sprouts emerged. Lactic acid bacteria serums LABS alone significantly higher on plant height cm and number of leaves. Moreover, Bio organic concoctions did not influence the number of emerged lateral sprouts in 35 and 42 days after planting, However, single bud set treated with LABS and Vermitea produced a higher number of lateral sprouts.
