Experiments stand performed for investigating influence of R12 refrigerant on system performance evaluation in terms of COP and TR. Temperature and pressure got measured by different temperature and pressure gauges mounted at several predetermined locations. Additionally, power consumption by refrigeration system also got measured from the installed energy meter readings. Altogether, it summarizes the tabular inscriptions of the variations of COPth, COPact and COPrel with TR for R12 refrigerant. Besides, it also demonstrates the graphical representation of the corresponding variations of COPth, COPact and COPrel with TR for R12 refrigerant. As expected, it stands observed (from both the stated table and figure) that both COPth and COPact increase with TR, however, the COPrel decreases with the same for said R12 refrigerant. Furthermore, the stated variations of COPth, COPact and COPrel with TR remain observed as approximately linear, independently. That’s why, both COPth and COPact stay directly proportional to TR, however, the COPrel stays inversely proportional to the same because of approximately linear relationship between the COPth, COPact and COPrel with TR, independently.

Most of the devices in power system become faulty due to the large content of harmonics present in voltage and current. It is mainly caused by the conduction losses in the system. At first, it is necessary to determine the extent of harmonic present by calculating the total harmonic distortions i.e., root over sum of the integral harmonics divide by fundamental harmonic. Later, identification of type of method for reducing harmonics is essential. In this project we are mainly focusing on two types of PFC bridge boost rectifier to improve the efficiency for low and high input voltage range. It using back to back bridgeless PFC boost rectifier for high input voltage and for low input voltage range, three level bridgeless boost rectifiers respectively. Fast recovery diode instead of normal diodes for better reliability and efficiency is utilized. The end model is obtained by combining two circuits BTBBL (Back to back bridgeless boost PFC) and TLBL (Three level bridgeless boost PFC) to get the FMBL (Flexible mode bridgeless boost PFC). Due to presence of less no of components, conduction losses are less hence less distortion is observed with improved efficiency. A simulation is carried out for all three models using MATLAB Simulink platform. In hardware, TLP250 driver for MOSFET is used and which is interfaced with PIC microcontroller. The hardware results are obtained that validates the simulation results.

Mathematical model was developed for modeling the increase temperature in high temperature superconducting (HTS) current carrying element in superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL). The variation in the heating up of HTS element along its length is a result primarily of the variation in its resistance that has to do with the manufacturing process employed to make it.The model was developed and mathematical modeling of the process was carried out in the Comsol MultiPhysics software package. Element that was tested was a 12 mm wide stack of three stainless steel tapes and three HTS soldered to each other. In order to get more precise parameters for the models the cross-sectional thermal conductivity was measured for the stacks of HTS of two different types. The estimates obtained using the model were very close to experimental data. The impact was also studied of the spread of the electrical resistance of HTS on how fast the current carrying element made from it heated up.

The transition from 3G to 4G has been a gradual process all these years and in developing countries like India, the change has to span even longer. Eventually, at lot of places while moving we come across signal variations which force the handoff to be decided. The handoff may be vertical or horizontal but it has to be seamless and service continuity cant be ignored anytime. This research proposes a handoff mechanism which takes certain parameters like RSS, node-speed, network cost, network latency, bandwidth and throughput before deciding the handover. This research does a simulation in MATLAB to analyze the effect of these parameters on handover decision both in homogenous and heterogeneous networks. The simulation virtualizes a scenario where a node moving in a geographical region experiences multiple handoffs both vertical and horizontal, based on the above-mentioned parameters. The simulation successfully proves that the proposed methodology performs seamless vertical and horizontal handoffs. The simulation is performed on two different scenarios where the former does handoff between 3G and 4G networks (vertical handoff) and the latter takes a WIMAX and 4G LTE network into consideration. The results are presented in terms of RSSI, throughput and bandwidth and performance of LTE is compared with 3G & WIMAX technique. The performance of the technique has been represented graphically each graph showing variation in handoff decisions for different values of a particular parameter.

The expanding range of components intended for manufacturing products of polymer composite materials is often not accompanied by comprehensive information on the characteristics and recommended technological curing modes. The relevance and practical significance of this investigation are based on the need to predict rational technological modes for curing products of polymer composite materials based on the low-viscosity epoxy binder Etal-Inject-SLM, which is in demand in the manufacture of products from polymer composite materials by cold curing. The purpose of this investigation is to determine kinetic patterns, which allow for predicting the time and degree of curing of the low-viscosity epoxy binder Etal-Inject-SLM for various isothermal curing conditions. The method of differential scanning calorimetry was used to measure the thermal effect of the curing reaction of the Etal-Inject-SLM epoxy binder at various heating rates. Based on the experimental calorimetric data and using the model-free (non-prior) Friedman method, using the specialized software Netzsch Kinetics Neo, the parameters characterizing the formal kinetic laws of the curing process were calculated. This allowed for plotting isothermal and iso-conversion thermokinetic diagrams necessary for predicting the time and degree of curing of the Etal-Inject-SLM binder at different temperatures and curing times. This results can be useful for optimizing technological processes in which the low-viscosity epoxy binder Etal-Inject-SLM is used.

For the enormously increased power demand in the modern world, the existing fossil fuel sources seem to be inadequate to meet the demands. Hence, it is necessary to switch over to use Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Besides the demand concerns, the power generation from fossil fuels causes environmental pollution prominently. As a result, the utilization of RES has been encouraged. When RES is interconnected with the grid, this system becomes an excellent solution to fulfill the power demand of the present scenario. The energy generated from renewable energy sources varies according to seasonal variations. The power generated from RES can be delivered to the load by interconnecting it with the grid. When a small size RES system is connected with the distribution network, it can deliver energy to the isolated zones where the energy cannot be drawn from the conventional network. In this work, the Artificial Neural Network based Maximum Power Point Tracking scheme has been introduced with Photovoltaic (PV) power generation. Also, a bi-directional charger is introduced to overcome the battery issues. The model is evaluated in the MATLAB/SIMULINK package. The performance of the system is analyzed by applying different voltage levels to qZSI. The voltage gain, effectiveness of the scheme, MPPT and the regulation of the voltages are observed.

In recent days, there is an intense need for an alternate cost effective and sustainable raw material for concrete which does not make the structure inferior in strength. An experimental study on the utilization of the waste plastic and M-sand in the place of river sand and aggregate partially was performed in paper. In the scenario of scarcity of river sand due to the territorial government action and restriction of usage because of the eco and environmental consideration, M-Sand is found to be an effective replacement and cost effective material. Concrete specimens were casted with combination of M-sand and plastic waste with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% and compared against control mix. Cube test for compressive strength study, cylinder test for split tensile strength study and prism test for flexural strength study were done with the proposed concert mixture. All the specimens and tests were done for different curing period of 7, 14 and 28 days. The results obtained from the proposed mix of concrete are compared with the conventional concrete mix specimen respectively. The replacement of fine aggregates reduces the quantity of river sand to be used in concrete and also plastic fibres are proved to be more economical. Positive performance of the concrete with waste plastic and M-Sand as partial replacement of river sand was observed on all the experiments and found optimal in sustainable and economical performance.

In the brain tumor MRI images, the identification, segmentation and detection of the infectious area is a tedious and lengthy task. As segmentation is called intensity inhomogeneity by an intrinsic object. In this paper we suggest an energy efficient minimization technique for joint domain assessment and segmentation of MR images called multiplicative intrinsic component optimization (MICO). In this work, we focused on quicker implementation with a robust removal of gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). Optimal texture characteristics are obtained by the Spatial Gray Dependence (SGLDM) technique from ordinary and tumor areas. With very large feature sets, the choice of features is redundant because the precision frequently worsens without choice of features. However, when only the feature selection is used, the precision of classification is significantly improved. However, by reducing the time needed for classification computations and improving classification precision by removing redundant, false or incorrect characteristics. A fresh function choice and weighting technique, supported by the decomposition developmental multi-objective algorithm, are provided in this work. These characteristics are provided for the MPNN classification. Modified probabilistic neural network (MPNN) classification was used in brain MRI images for training and testing for precision in tumor identification. The simulation findings accomplished almost 98% precision in the identification of ordinary and abnormal tissue from brain MR images showing the efficiency of the method suggested.

Agile estimation process is an emerging research area because of agile practice of accepting requirements at any stage. Some agile practitioners are using agile estimation of size and time based on expert opinion and planning poker game. These methods are non-algorithmic method whereas algorithmic method of estimation always useful for novice estimator as it is based on empirical study. In this paper, we have proposed algorithmic method, Priority based Agile Estimation for Size and Time (PAEST) for projects using agile practices. PAEST incorporates the identification of factors estimating size of projects based on its priority and impact on the project. Size and Time estimation are computed as function of priority factor of project attributes and uncertainty in requirements of the projects. Paper also elaborates the case studies of various domain of software projects along with priority and intensity level of factors affecting the project estimation. We have incorporated three domains: web application, MIS project and critical software and seven project attributes out of 21 attributes used by generalized estimation method in our case studies. Number of project attributes can be scalable to any number depending on project domain. Algorithm prioritizes the project attributes and generates the estimates of the project more realistic. Introduction of prioritization helps novice to get estimates more precise. In our study we observed that uncertainty in project have more impact than project attributes.

Modernization of vocational education entails the need to find effective methods for managing an educational institution and teaching staff in particular. The relevance of the study is due to increasing role of teaching staff management, characteristics of comprehensive assessment of professional competence and performance of teachers at college. The purpose of the article is to improve management of teacher certification. For this, the authors developed a plan that reflects teachers’ professional competence development stages, the basis of which is the development and implementation of management model for teacher certification at college in the activities of Gorodetsky provincial college. The introduction of the model is the third stage of the plan which will increase the level of certification management, and hence teachers’ competence. Verification of effective implementation of the model was carried out using analysis of consolidated statements for 2016 and 2018. The results showed that after the model introduction the level of students’ training at college has increased. The model developed by the authors allowed increasing the level of teacher certification management which had a positive effect on students training.

Steel is crucial to the event of any fashionable economy and is taken into account the backbone of human civilization. At present, developing countries lead the expansion in world steel demand. India is presently the world's third largest producer of crude steel and is anticipated to become the largest producer of crude steel within the world before long. The country is additionally the third largest client of finished steel (83.5 Million Tonnes in 2016) within the world preceded by China (681 Million Tonnes in 2016) and also the USA (91.6 million tonnes in 2016. Steel occupies this position due to its skillfulness, strength and recyclability. The steel sector contributes to over two of the country's gross domestic product and employs around 25 lakhs utilized in steel/allied sectors. Between 2008 and 2011 India has recorded a growth of 29.2% in Steel production. Indian industry has been preponderantly serving domestic market. Consumption of steel in India is a smaller amount compared to alternative Asian steel majors specifically China, Japan, and Republic of Korea. Thus, the business has scope for growth in future. In recent times, India is that the contributor of four p.c to the world’s crude production and is anticipated to carry and retain its position in coming back years. The rapid climb of population, increase in urbanization still as increase in agricultural and industrial product together with sweetening of ordinary of living, give an honest scope for the event of Indian industry. Iron and Steel Exports stood at 7.606 million tonnes, a growth of 52.9% compared to 2016 and also the Imports stood at half dozen 0.097 million tonnes, a growth of 10.9% compared to the year 2016. This paper examines the export and import performance of Steel Industry from 2014-2015 to 2017-2018. The industry is mainly dominated by Tata Steel Ltd on the basis of overall competitiveness and financial and non - financial aspects of competitiveness.

India is producing enormous amounts of industrial by-products out of which 150 million tonnes of GGBS itself. Apart from disposal of this solid waste, engineers strive for its value addition through its use as a construction material for achieving better economy, eco-friendliness without compromising on technical aspects. In this study, varieties of concrete are mixed with GGBS as a replacement material for cement to understand its compressive strength and long term behaviour. It is seen from literature that the fibers enhance the performance of concrete. Accordingly, six trials were made with GGBS replacement along with variation of cement content, water cement ratio and steel fibers with aspect ratio 60 and variation in reinforcing indices. The workability of concrete increased with increasing the GGBS content and also observed there is a reduction in workability in fiber reinforced concrete. The results indicated that the concrete made with GGBS indicates the strength comparable to the concrete made with OPC for all replacement levels. There is a substantial decrease in strength at 80% replacement. While there is a substantial increase in long-term strength. The compressive strength of GGBS concrete was increased up to 19% than that of OPC concrete and also observed 5 to 12% strength increased in fiber reinforced concrete than GGBS concrete. For this purpose studied the compressive strength of concrete at the ages of 3, 7,28,56,90 and 180 days.

Workplace cyberloafing among government servants has become one of the most challenging issues facing by Malaysian governmental organisations and administrations. The phenomenon of cyberloafing among government servants in the governmental service context calls for an effort to determine the factors that influence the related cyberloafing. This research has identified four factors which predict cyberloafing behaviour namely job satisfaction, internet usage policy, job stress and work procrastination. A total 150 government servants in Putrajaya were targeted as respondents and the self-administered questionnaires were employed as the main method of primary data collection. Smart PLS 3.0 was employed to access the constructs’ structural model and measurement model. The findings reveal that only internet usage policy and work procrastinations are predicting cyberloafing behaviour predominantly. This study also emphasizes the need to perceive cyberloafing positively while imposing the correct amount of control on it.
