Published: October 2019

Rigorous experiments stay performed for examining influences of nozzle size on heat dispersal over flat plate concerning constant thermal value 6 W/cm2. This paper presents the experimental studies on cooling behavior with water jet impingement. Several influencing parameters pertaining to cooling behaviors of striking jets got recognized for investigating impacts over heat transfer characteristics. The parameters taken into account are nozzle diameter (3, 4, 5 and 6 mm), Reynolds number (800, 1600, 2400 and 3200), nozzle to plate spacing (20, 25, 30 and 35 mm) and jet inclination (30⁰, 45⁰, 60⁰, 75⁰ and 90⁰). Additionally, the studies are limited to a constant heat flux situation. The chary interpretations of results tell that performance remains boosted with regard to these key parameters. Nevertheless, for present experimental settings, nozzle diameter of 5 mm provides sufficient thermal features and is the finest one.

Nowadays, the requirements and dependency of people on vehicles are increasing day by day which lead to high emission of flue gases and it results in the severe environment pollution. Many researchers have done research to improve the efficiency of IC engine. The main reason for less efficiency is the incomplete combustion of fuel in the IC engine. To improve the efficiency, we carried out the experiments with two stroke petrol engine by supplying preheated pure oxygen instead of air. The oxygen is preheated by the exhaust heat recovery system using heat pipe. In this research work, engine performance is analyzed in two ways primarily by using the pure oxygen and secondly by using the pre-heated pure oxygen through heat pipe. The output response in this work is brake thermal efficiency without heat pipe (without inlet-air-preheating) and with heat pipe (with inlet air preheating). The output response is calculated with the use of numerical formula. Exhaust gases energy is used to preheat the inlet pure oxygen supplied to petrol engine with the help of heat pipe. A heat pipe without bend is used here in which working fluid is water. Experimental results show that there is an increase in brake thermal efficiency with use of heat pipe.

Adopting an alternate strategy, this paper is devoted to the advancement of OpenStreetMap (OSM) building impressions misusing the shape data, which is gotten from profound learning-based semantic division of angled pictures procured by the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Initial, an improved 3D building model of Level of Detail 1 (LoD 1) is instated utilizing the impression data from OSM and the height data from Digital Surface Model (DSM). In parallel, a profound neural system for pixel-wise semantic picture division is prepared so as to extricate the structure limits as shape proof. Thusly, a streamlining incorporating the shape proof from multi-see pictures as a requirement brings about a refined 3D building model with improved impressions and stature. This technique is utilized to advance OSM building impressions for four datasets with various structure types, exhibiting hearty execution for both individual structures and different structures paying little respect to picture goals. At long last, the contrast the outcome and reference information from German Authority Topographic-Cartographic Information System (ATKIS). Quantitative and subjective assessments uncover that the first OSM building impressions have enormous balanced, yet can be fundamentally improved from meter level to decimeter level after enhancement.

The Two-Phase Locking of Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MV2PL) avoids conflicts of concurrent transactions by make them wait until conflicts get resolved. These conflicts of transactions may generate starvations and deadlocks in the system. The Transactions suffering from deadlocks are usually aborted and restarted from scratch. In multiuser systems, this “abort and restart” approach degrades the system’s performance where higher conflicts for data or long running transactions occur. Restarting from scratch also generates a negative response loop in the system, because the system suffers additional overheads which may result into even more conflicts. In this paper, we are proposing a novel approach for conflict resolution in Multi-Version Concurrency Control for shared databases. Our mechanism quickly detects the conflicts using correctness criteria for serializability and resolves the conflicts between transactions and increases throughput.

A common defective phenomenon in rotating machinery is rotor-casing rub that generates impacts when the rotor rubs against the stator. Vibration sensors and data analysis techniques are commonly used for fault signature extraction and mechanical systems diagnosis. In this paper, an experimental characterization of rotor-rub is made by time-frequency analysis by means of the wavelet transform. A rotor kit, equipped with a variable speed DC motor, an accelerometer and a data acquisition system are used to acquire the mechanical vibration data. Vibration signal in frequency and time-frequency domains are shown for no-rubbing, light, and severe rubbing cases. Results show that FFT is unable to report where in time particular components of rubbing appear. However, the time-frequency analysis is able to give location information in time to differentiate light from severe rubbing, and extract the main spectral components showing a spectrum rich in high frequency components, characteristic of this phenomenon.

Elliptical Micro-strip Patch Antenna (EMPA) has been emerged as a peculiar and significant category among the different shaped micro-strip patch antennas because of its circular polarization and dual-resonant frequency features with a single feed. Elliptical and its derived shapes such as semi-elliptical, half-elliptical, slotted-elliptical and elliptical ring are found to be particularly instrumental for bandwidth enhancement and these antennas find great applications in Ultra Wide Band (UWB) and Super Wide Band (SWB) communications. Compared to antennas with circular or rectangular shapes, the design of EMPA is a research area of high potential as there is higher flexibility in its design due to more degrees of freedom. The reported literature in the field of EMPA is very less and there is ample scope for new researchers to work on. This review paper is an attempt to summarize and critically assess the-state-of-the-art design techniques as reported in literature and understand their effects on performance of elliptical patch antenna for suggesting new research fronts in the field of EMPA.

A framework based on mathematical graphical notation is presented and relational mapping to re-engineer declarative user interface model transformation through a platform independent model (PIM) is presented. For re-engineering user interface three steps; namely source code to platform specific source model (Extraction), platform specific source model to platform specific target model (Transformation) and platform specific target model to platform specific target code (Development) are followed. For achieving independence with respect to platform and language, user interface elements are addressed at the semantic level. A layer of abstraction of PIM has been added for defining few common basic user interface elements along with their attributes in semantic terms using mathematical graphical notation. Transformation has been defined between the source and target model and generic rules are applied for every new element extracted from source model and placed in the target model. By adding a new layer in the re-engineering process efforts required to port the user interface from one platform specific source model to one or more platform specific model are reduced. By defining the user interface elements semantically in graphical notation, diversity in the programming languages has been reduced. Bi-directionality has been achieved between the source model and the target model by defining the relational mapping between the two.

The present study is focus on 11-storey reinforced concrete buildings to optimize the location of soft storey under seismic zone-v. The plan of building 40m x 40m is considered. In X- direction and y-direction number of bays is 8 and each bay width is 5m. To observe the non linear behaviour of multi-storeyed building will be studied for various position of soft storey by increasing the storey height. Soft storey is provided at 1st storey, 5th storey and 10th storey. In this first three models is analyzed by increasing height of storey as 4.5m and other three models is analyzed by increasing height of storey as 5.1m and remaining storey height is kept as 3m are compare with regular building by using ETABS software. Comparison is made for the storey displacement, storey stiffness, base shear and formation of hinge patterns. The result remarks the conclusion that base shear carrying capacity of the structure increases as the soft storey is placed at higher levels and is least when the soft storey is at the ground. The seismic performance of structures is very sensitive to stiffness ratio. The lower the stiffness ratio of soft storey displacement of that structure is high.

The characterizations of the nanoporous membrane require appropriate segmentation of the pores. The segmentation technique used for one category or class of image may not be suitably applied to the other class of images. Selecting the ubiquitous segmentation technique that can be applied to all image types is a challenging issue. In spite of several decades of research, there is no ubiquitously accepted method for image segmentation and therefore it remains a challenge in digital image processing. The objective of the present study is to automate the system with five different segmentation techniques; global thresholding, active contour, K-means, region growing and watershed to extort the pore from the experimental Al2O3 FESEM images, synthesized using different anodizing parameters. The geometrical features; nanopore wall thickness, pore size and porosity are computed for all the experimental images with the proposed segmentation techniques and are compared with the manual results. The variation in the proposed and manual results, referred to as error is computed. It is observed that the average error for the segmented pore characteristics using global thresholding, active contour, K-means, region growing and watershed are 7%, 14%, 13%, 18% and 20% respectively. The analysis predicts, error in using global thresholding segmentation technique is least, as compared to other methods and thus, it is considered the most appropriate segmentation technique among the five methods mentioned in the present study to segment the experimental Al2O3 FESEM images.

In this study, the best efficiency point of end suction, radial discharge, centrifugal pump operated in turbine mode was arrived applying numerical and experimental analysis. The pump was simulated both in direct and turbine modes using Star CCM+ CFD software. Characteristic curves were developed for the pump in direct and turbine modes. A monoblock centrifugal pump of specific speed 35.89 (m, m3/s) was used for this study. The pump was tested experimentally in turbine and pump mode .The theoretical and numerical results were verified by those obtained through experimentation. Some of the correlations proposed by earlier researchers for performance prediction of pump in reverse mode were also tested.

Extensive research on splicing of strings in DNA computing has established important theoretical results in computational theory. Further, splicing on strings has been extended to arrays in[2]. In this context, we propose, a grammar system, using queries to splice context-free matrix grammars and show that the language generated by this grammar system is incomparable to the language given in [3] and has more generative power than in [2].
