<#LINE#>Heat treatment Elimination in Forged steel Crankshaft of Two-stage Compressor<#LINE#>N.@Lakshmanan,Ramachanran@G.M.,K.@Saravanan<#LINE#>1-6<#LINE#>1.ISCA-RJEngS-2012-090.pdf<#LINE#>Anna university of Technology - Coimbatore, INDIA @ Department of Chemical Engineering, Kongu Engineering College, Erode TN, INDIA  <#LINE#>22/10/2012<#LINE#>9/1/2013<#LINE#>  There are various components in reciprocating compressor; however, optimization of compressor crankshaft for design and manufacturing is planned by considering its volume and cost.  The crankshaft used in this study is forged steel from a two-stage air compressor models. This is a single throw crankshaft consists of one drive end shaft (fly end), one non-drive end shaft (free end) and a crank pin. High strength, ductility, and fatigue resistance are critical properties required from the crankshaft material and manufacturing process. In spite of its generally lower fatigue resistance, ductile cast iron is a major competition to forged steel crankshafts in the competitor’s compressors. Moreover, there is no heat treatment process involved in case of ductile cast iron. Since a crankshaft experiences a large number of load cycles during its service life, fatigue performance and durability of this component is a key consideration in its design and performance evaluation. The design and manufacturing including heat treatment process of forged steel crankshaft is studied for optimization and to reduce cost.Experimental investigations made to evaluate the mechanical properties of the crankshaft material with and without heat treatment and compared. Design verification made through static and dynamic analysis using finite element software to find the factor of safety for both cases. Crankshafts are manufactured and it is assembled in the compressors and validation is done through accelerated tested at in-house as well as in the field to prove the process. The cost benefit analysis is done for manufacturing of the crankshaft without heat treatment.  <#LINE#> @ @  Farzin H.

Catalysts samples were produced from thermally activated clays obtained from Suleja and Shabu, Nigeria respectively. The effect of mole ratio and catalyst concentration on the conversion was studied. The thermally activated Suleja clay gave a highest conversion of 59 % at catalyst concentration (3%) and mole ratio (acid: alcohol) of 1:2, at a reaction temperature of 70 C, While thermally activated Shabu gave the highest conversion of 55% at same process variable conditions. The increase in alcohol to acid mole ratios resulted to decrease in percentage conversion. While increase in catalyst concentration led to increase in percentage conversion. <#LINE#> @ @ Nagendrappa G., Organic Synthesis using Clay Catalysts, Clays for ‘Green Chemistry’ General Article: Resonance,64-77 (2002) @No $ @ @ Guggenheim  S. and Martin  R.

Optical and surface morphology of the films were investigated using a Janway 6405 UV/ Visible spectrophotometer and an Olympus optical microscope. The optical microscopy image showed that this film has uniform, small crystal size and covered the entire substrate surface completely. The films also have high transmittance in the visible/ near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. We also established that increase in the film thickness in the chemical bath deposition of PbS thin film reduces the transmittance of the film.  <#LINE#> @ @ Dinghua B., Haoshuang G. and Anxiang K., Sol-gel Derived c-axis Oriented ZnO Thin Films, Thin solid films,312, 37-39 (1998) @No $ @ @ SangWoo W., Hongkyu J., SangGon K., ManHO C., Kwangbo J. and ChungNam W., Properties of ZnO Thin Films Grown at Room Temperature by using Ionized Cluster Beam Deposition, Journal of the Korean physical society, 37 ( 4), 456-460 (2000) @No $ @ @ Sun X.W. and Kwok H.S., Optical Properties of Epitaxially Grown Zinc Oxide Films on Sapphire by Pulsed Laser Deposition, Journal of Appl.

Conversion of waste to energy is one of the recent trends in minimizing not only the waste disposal but also could be used as an alternate fuel for internal combustion engines. Waste plastics are indispensable materials in the modern world and application in the industrial field is continually increasing. In this context, waste plastics are currently receiving renewed interest. As an alternative, non biodegradable, and renewable fuel, waste plastic oil is receiving increasing attention. In the present paper waste plastic pyrolysis oil, waste plastic pyrolysis oil and its blend with diesel has been introduced as an alternative fuel.   In this study, a review of research papers on various operating parameters have been prepared for better understanding of operating conditions and constrains for  waste plastic pyrolysis oil and its blends fuelled compression ignition engine.   <#LINE#> @ @ Murugan S., Ramaswamy M.C. and Nagarajan G.,The use of tyre Pyrolysis oil in diesel engines, Waste Management, 28, 12) 2743-2749 (2008) @No $ @ @ Senthilkumar Tamilkolundu and Chandrasekar Murugesan, The Evaluation of blend of Waste Plastic Oil- Diesel fuel for use as alternate fuel for transportation, 2nd International Conference on Chemical, Ecology and Environmental Sciences, (ICCEES'2012) @No $ @ @ Singapore April 28-29, (2012) @No $ @ @ Walendzieuwski Jerzy, Engine fuel derived from  waste  plastics  by  thermal treatment, Journal of Fuel,81 473-481 (2002) @No $ @ @ Williams P.T. and Williams  E.A., Interaction of plastics in mixed plastics Pyrolysis, Journal  of Energy and  Fuels,  13188-196 (1990) @No $ @ @ Mani M., Subash C. and Nagarajan G., Performance emission and combustion characteristics of a DI diesel engine using waste plastic oil, Applied Thermal Engineering, 29, 2738–2744 (2009) @No $ @ @ 6.Mani M., Nagarajan G. and Sampath S., Characterisation and effect of using waste plastic oil and diesel fuel blends in compression ignition engine, Energy, 36, 212-219 (2011) @No $ @ @ Mani M. and Nagarajan G., Influence of injection timing on performance, emission and combustion  characteristics of a DI diesel engine running on waste plastic oil, Energy, 34,1617–1623 (2009) @No $ @ @ Mani M., Nagarajan G. and Sampath S., An experimental investigation on a DI diesel engine using waste plastic oil with exhaust gas recirculation, Fuel, 89, 1826–1832 (2010) @No $ @ @ Rajesh Guntur and Deva Kumar M.L.S., Experimental evaluation of a diesel engine with blends of diesel-plastic Pyrolysis oil, International Journal of Engineering Science and  Technology, 3(6),(2011) @No $ @ @ Agarwal Avinash Kumar, Biofuels (alcohols and biodiesel) applications as fuels internal combustion engines, Journal of Energy and Combustion Science, 33, 233–71 (2007) @No $ @ @ Heywood J.B., Internal combustion engine fundamentals,  McGraw Hill Publications, http://www.mcgraw-hill.com (1988) @No

The garments manufacturing sector earned $19 billion in the year to June 2012, one of the impoverished nation's biggest industries. Currently this industry is facing great challenges in its growth rate. The major reasons for these challenges can be the global recession, unfavorable trade policies, internal security concerns, the high cost of production due to increase in the energy costs, different safety issues specially fire, etc. Depreciation of Bangladeshi Taka that significantly raised the cost of imported inputs, rise in inflation rate, and high cost of financing has also effected seriously the growth in the textile industry. As a result neither the buyers are able to visit frequently Bangladesh nor are the exporters able to travel abroad for effectively marketing their products. With an in-depth investigation it was found that the Bangladesh textile industry can be brought on top winning track if government and others individuals takes serious actions in removing or normalizing the above mentioned hurdles. Additionally, the government should provide subsidy to the textile industry, minimize the internal dispute among the exporters, withdraw the withholding and sales taxes etc. Purchasing new machinery or enhancing the quality of the existing machinery and introducing new technology can also be very useful in increasing the research and development (R and  D) related activities that  in the modern era are very important for increasing the industrial growth of a country.  <#LINE#> @ @ All Bangladesh Textile Mills Corporation (BTMC) (Various Issues) Annual Report (2005-2012)  @No $ @ @ Challenges for Bangladesh, Asian Development Review, Bangladesh Textile Journal (2011) @No $ @ @ Bangladesh, Government of Bangladesh Economic Survey, Ministry of Finance (2011) @No $ @ @ Bloom P., Retailer power and supplier, The Journal of Industrial Economics, 33, 339-148 (2001) @No $ @ @ Textile Industry— Special Report (2009) @No $ @ @ Business Recorder Bangladesh –Special report (2010) @No $ @ @ Bangladesh Observer-Business Survey (2009) @No $ @ @ http://www.fiber2fashion.com (2010) @No $ @ @ Asian Economic Review- (2011) @No $ @ @ http:// www.asiantextilejournal.com (2009) @No $ @ @ http://www.epb.gov.bd (2011-2012) @No $ @ @ Centre  for  Policy  Dialogue  (CPD)  Bangladesh,   Contribution  of  the  RMG  Sector  to Bangladesh Economy, Paper 50, (2002) @No $ @ @ http://www.fpcci.com.bd (2007) @No $ @ @ Bangladesh Textile Today (BTT) (2011) @No $ @ @ Standard and Poor’s, Textiles Industry Survey Monthly Investment (2004) @No

Distillation column are of great importance in process analysis as they are the most common and the most energy intensive separation systems and hence it is the first separation system to be analyzed specifically from a pinch view point. In this paper heat integration of crude organic distillation unit has been done using pinch technology. Pinch Technology involves composite curves, problem table algorithm and heat exchanger network design. Using targeting procedures, hot and cold utility reduction occurs. With this design, cost estimation has been done using heat exchanger cost equation.

<#LINE#>Current Research Trends in Electrical Discharge Machining: A Review<#LINE#>Sandeep@Kumar<#LINE#>56-60<#LINE#>10.ISCA-RJEngS-2013-009.pdf<#LINE#> Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, University Institute of Engineering and Technology, MD University, Rohtak-124001, Haryana, INDIA <#LINE#>5/2/2013<#LINE#>20/2/2013<#LINE#>  EDM is an unconventional electro thermal machining process used for manufacturing geometrically complex or hard material parts that are extremely difficult-to-machine by conventional machining process. The process involves a controlled erosion of electrically conductive materials by the initiation of rapid and repetitive spark discharges between the tool and work piece separated by a small gap of about 0.01 to 0.50. This gap is either flooded or immersed in a dielectric fluid. The controlled pulsing of direct current between the tool and the work piece produces the spark discharge. The EDM process that we know today is a result of various researches carried out over the years. EDM researchers have explored a number of ways to improve the sparking efficiency with various experimental concepts. Despite a range of different approaches, every new research shares the same objectives of achieving high metal removal rate with reduction in tool wear and improved surface quality. This paper reviews the vast array of research work carried out within past decades for the development of EDM. This study is mainly focused on aspects related to surface quality and metal removal rate which are the most important parameters from the point of view of selecting the optimum condition of processes as well as economical aspects. It reports the research trends in EDM. <#LINE#> @ @ Liao Y.S., Huang J.T. and Su H.C., A study on the machining-parameters optimization of wire electrical discharge machining, Journal of Material Processing and Technology, 72,1(1),  487-493 (1997) @No $ @ @ Satishkumar D. et.al, Investigation of wire electrical discharge characteristic of AI6063/SiCp composites, International journal of advance manufacture and technology, 48,2(2), 234-242 (2011) @No $ @ @ El-Taweel T.A., Multi-response optimization of EDM with Al-Cu-Si-tic P/M composite electrode, International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 44(1-2),3(3),100-113 (2009) @No $ @ @ Mohan B., Rajadurai A. and Satyanarayana K.G., Effect of sic and rotation of electrode on electric discharge machining of Al-sic composite, Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 124(3),4(4), 297-304  (2002) @No $ @ @ Lin Y., Cheng C., Su B. and Hwang L., Machining characteristics and optimization of machining parameters of SKH 57 high-speed steel using electrical-discharge machining based on Taguchi method, Materials and Manufacturing Processes, 21(8),5(5), 922-929 (2006) @No $ @ @ Simao J., Lee H.G., Aspinwall D.K., Dewes R.C. and Aspinwall E.M., Workpiece surface modication using electrical discharge machining, 43, 6(6), 121–128 (2003) @No $ @ @ Aqueel Shah, Material removal rate, kerf,  surface roughness of tungsten carbide machined with wire electrical discharge machining, Journal of material engineering and performance, 20, 7(7), 234-249 (2011) @No $ @ @ Lee Hwa-Teng and Fu-Chuan Hsu, Study of surface integrity using the small area EDM process with a copper–tungsten electrode, Journal of Materials Science and Engineering, 364, 8(8), 346–356  (2004) @No $ @ @ Abbas N.M., Solomon D.G. and Bahari M.F., A review on current research trends in Electrical discharge machining (EDM), International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture, 47,9(9), 1214–28 (2007) @No $ @ @ Kremer D., Lebrun J.L., Hosari B., Moisan A., Effects of ultrasonic vibrations on the performances in EDM, Annals of CIRP; 38, 10(10), 199–202 (2010) @No
