Experimental Investigation on Performance and Exhaust Emissions of a Diesel Engine Fueled With Palm Oil Shea Butter Oil Blends Biodiesels

In this study, experimental investigations on the performance and exhaust emissions of a diesel engine was carried out using Palm oil Shea butter oil biodiesel as fuel. The two vegetable oils, Shea butter SB and Palm oil PO were blended in the proportion 25 75 , 50 50 , and 75 25 v v. The transesterification of the blended oils were carried out using ethanol, with potassium hydroxide as catalyst. The chemo physical properties of the biodiesels produced were determined experimentally and compared with that of petroleum diesel. Engine performance and emission test were conducted using the engine test bed with the instrumentation unit, emission gas analyzer, and the produced biodiesels as fuel. From the results, it was observed that, the petroleum diesel recorded the highest torque, while biodiesels recorded reduced values of torque at all the loads with the 100 SB and 75 SB 25 PO biodiesels both recorded the same values of torque at all the loads. The 100 SB biodiesel recorded the highest exhaust temperature, while the petroleum diesel recorded the lowest exhaust temperature at all the loads. Exhaust gas temperature increase as the load increases. Biodiesels showed reduced brake power as compared to petroleum diesel, but the 100 SB and 75 SB 25 PO both recorded the highest brake power among the biodiesels at all the loads. Biodiesels recorded higher values of BSFC as compared to petroleum diesel, with the 25 SB 75 PO biodiesel having the highest BSFC at all the loads. The brake thermal efficiency BTE of the petroleum diesel was highest as compared to biodiesels at all the loads. The 25 SB 75 PO and 100 PO biodiesels both recorded the least carbon monoxide CO emissions, and CO emissions decreases with increase in loads. The petroleum diesel recorded the highest CO emissions for all the three loads. The carbon dioxide CO2 emissions increases with increase in loads, with the petroleum diesel recording the least CO2 emissions at all the loads. The petroleum diesel showed increased hydrocarbon HC emissions for all the loads, while the 25 SB 75 PO and 100 PO biodiesels recorded the least HC emission. The 100 SB biodiesel recorded the highest NOx emissions, while the petroleum diesel recorded the least NOx emissions at all the loads. Thus, the 25 SB 75 PO and 75 SB 25 PO with improved engine performance and reduced emissions is suitable for use in diesel engine without engine modification.

Utilization of Banana Peel Powder in Concrete A Result

Analysis of properties of concrete using banana peel as admixture is studied and verified the strength of concrete and temperature emitted due to chemical reaction to the normal Portland cement. The percentage of transmission temperature and reduction time of temperature has decreased hence it is clear that the exothermal reaction in concrete has been reduced by using dried banana peel powder as admixture. The percentage of transmission temperature and reduction time of temperature has decreased hence it is clear that the exothermal reaction in concrete has been reduced by using dried banana peel powder as admixture. Ingredients other than cement, water and aggregates that import a specific quality to either plastic fresh mix or the hardened concrete ASTMC 496 is called concrete admixture. The flexural strength of concrete by using banana peel powder as admixture has increased, but considerable lesser compressive strength has increased.

Performance Evaluation of Power Tiller and its Attachments for Mechanizing Rice Cultivation in Eastern Uttar Pradesh

Many lessons have been learned since agricultural mechanization was first introduced and adopted across many regions. Eastern UP can apply and learn from the drawbacks and achievements in other countries in its efforts to devise and implement a sustainable agricultural development strategy for the future. Such a strategy can enhance and improve development outcomes and sustainability, support further development of agro industries, and increase scientific and technological innovation and capabilities, while pursuing coordinated urban and rural economic development. This paper focuses on and analyzes mechanization strategies and case studies in postharvest and mechanization that have been carried out over several decades to address differing conditions in countries and their policies towards their rice mechanization systems. As such, the emphasis is on the technologies, policies, practices, strategies, and models that relate to different parts of mechanization systems within specific regions. However, while many mechanization drivers and needs differ from one place to another, a wide range of mechanization elements can be transferred to suit local aspects and conditions in new locations. Furthermore, success stories can help in conceptualizing time and decision making needs, and can also avoid the drawbacks that have appeared in some countries’ mechanization systems, with the goal of leading to faster and more adequate adaptation of different technologies and policies in various implementation stages.There is no consensus on the definition of mechanization, and even when specialists agree on a definition, they sometimes disagree about whether or not it fits particular needs. The term â€œmechanizationâ€ describes the introduction of tools, implements, and machinery for improving the productivity of farm labor and of land it may use either human, animal, or motorized power, or a combination of these. In practice, therefore, mechanization involves the provision and use of all forms of power sources and mechanical assistance for agriculture, from simple hand tools to draught animal power to mechanical power technologies. Hence, agricultural mechanization is the application of mechanical technology and increased power to agriculture, largely as a means to enhance the productivity of human labor and often to achieve results well beyond the capacity of human labor. This includes the use of tractors of various types, internal combustion engines, electric motors, renewable energy, and other methods of energy conversion. Based on the source of power, the technological levels of mechanization have been broadly classified as hand tool technology, draught animal technology, and mechanical power technology. Mechanization also includes irrigation systems, food processing, and related technologies and equipment.

Damage Assessment System for Aircraft Structural Defects using Wavelet Transform

Defects are often arises on the inner surface of aircraft structures, but most of conventional techniques can determine only the damages and cannot determine the degree of damage. Digital Image Processing and Wavelet Transform are used in this project. Characteristics parameters such as the length of the crack can be exactly detected to measure the faults of aircraft structure. Generally failures of different aircraft components and parts are revealed and examined by the use of non destructive examination methods. In further detailed explanation and interpretation of failures optical and scanning electron microscopy are used. This paper presents a new approach in automation for crack detection on pavement surface images. The method is based on the continuous wavelet transform. Then, wavelet coefficients maximal values are searched and their propagation through scales is analyzed. Finally, a post processing gives a binary image which indicates the presence or not of cracks on the pavement surface image.

Sentimental Emotion Analysis using Python and Machine Learning

Sentiment analysis is used in opinion mining. It helps businesses understand the customers’ reviews with a particular product by analyzing their emotional from the product reviews they post, the online recommendations they make, their survey responses and other forms of social media text. Businesses can get feedback on how happy or sad the customer is, and use this insight to gain a competitive edge. In this article, we explore how to conduct sentiment analysis on a piece of text using some machine learning techniques. Python happens to be one of the best programming language, when it comes to machine learning as it is easy to learn, is open source, and is effective in catering to machine learning requirements like processing big datasets and performing mathematical computations. Natural Language ToolKit NLTK is one of the popular packages in Python that can use for in sentiment analysis.
