Abstract
The present experimental study aims to investigate the variations in rheological characteristics of TiO2 nanoparticles doped biodiesel diesel fuel blends at different temperatures and nanoparticle mass fractions. Fuel blends of Acacia Concinna biodiesel (AC BD) in the volume fraction of 40% are mixed with in the remaining 60% volume fraction of mineral diesel. Fuel blends are modified by doping TiO2 nanoparticles in the weight fraction of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 g/liter in biodiesel diesel fuel blends. These modified fuel blends (MNF) are prepared by means of mechanical stirring and ultra-sonication process, which are tested on Rheometer in a temperature range of 293K-363K under different shear rates. The experimental results showed that at concentration of 0.4 g/liter the viscosity of modified fuel blend (MNF0.4) was 7.16% more than the viscosity of mineral diesel. This increase in viscosity of MNF fuel blends are undesirable due to the fact that high injection pressure is required for proper atomization and combustion of fuel, which otherwise overshadows the gain in total heat release rate due to high heat of combustion of TiO2 nanoparticles. Furthermore, rheological characteristics of nanoparticle mixed modified fuel blends are found to be non- Newtonian and shear thinning. The findings of present study ascertain us that modified fuel blend up to 0.2 g/liter of TiO2 nanoparticle concentration (MNF0.2) in AC can be used as alternative fuel without much modifications in the operating and design parameters of existing diesel engine.

Abstract
Aerodynamic cross wind has become most vital part in the approving process in locomotives. From last few decades, many of the incidents took place on the cross wind stability of locomotives during high speed. Even though a lot of research work is going on the cross wind analysis of locomotive by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In this paper Computational fluid dynamics simulation was used to carry out the study on WAP5 locomotive (Wide gauge AC Passenger, class 5 model) and the simulations were utilized to study the impact of the motion (relative) among locomotive and infrastructure, also the variance which happen in WT (wind tunnel). After an inceptive approval against test data, the numerical model was utilized to consider relative motion impacts among locomotive and infrastructure (STBR i.e. single track with ballast and rail). The variance, regarding coefficient of aerodynamics obtained with active and static model simulations, was investigated: the both rolling moment coefficient and lateral force were brought down with the static model of around 5% and the variance of around 12% for the coefficient vertical force. The other variations like CWC (characteristics wind curve), presents the limitation for overturning of locomotive was in the sequence of 1.5% for direction of locomotive that is perpendicular to wind. In the conclusion, regardless of whether stationary test is not conventional, the distinctions as far as characteristics wind curve are significantly less in the single track with ballast and rail situation and these outcomes carry assumptions of stationary model tests on single track with ballast and train situation as illustrative of aerodynamics of locomotive.

Abstract
Ring shaped force transducer have been used for different industrial and metrological applications for about one century since inception at National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly, National Bureau of Standards), USA. Though, earlier they have been equipped with deflection measuring device say, micrometre, dial gauge or vibrating reed as the case may be. With growing advancement, to limit the inherent shortcomings of analogue instruments, digitization has been done over the past decades. In this regard, few research reports have been published, but up to best of knowledge of the authors, realistic computational investigations are still missing. In past findings, there have been limitations either with coherence with experimental findings or limits of the software used for the investigations. In this regard, commercial software ANSYS has been used for complete ring shaped force transducer and a realistic procedure adopted in line with analytical method. The present study attempts to discuss the procedure and outcome of finite element analysis for a ring shaped force transducer for the material EN 24 with a nominal capacity of 50 kN. The paper discusses details of the approach adopted and salient outcomes. The paper further discusses the implications of the finite element analysis in design and development of the ring shaped force transducer.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
The rapid exploitation of fossil fuels due to their indiscriminate use has brought us to a situation when we cannot sustain the use of fuels like petrol and diesel for more than 30 years from now. Governments and energy companies around the world are looking for some alternative source of energy to power the vehicles. A lot of research is being carried out in this field and many researchers have concluded that hybrid vehicles can be a boon to eradicating the dependence on conventional fuels and move towards battery-aided power trains for running the vehicles. Today, there are a few electric vehicles on roads but in the near future the roads are going to be flooded by them. To propel them, we need batteries which should be charged at some intervals. In absence of battery charging stations, we would need range extending devices on the vehicles itself. A Free Piston Linear Generator (FPLG) is an electric generator which produces electricity by virtue of oscillation of a free piston in a cylinder and it can be used as a range extending device and alternative energy converter in a hybrid vehicle. Using an FPLG will be a new approach to optimize combustion process and thus it can not only help in low exhaust emissions but also in using new renewable fuels due to their capability of variable compression ratios. This paper is a review on the design and development of FPLG system for hybrid vehicles as an inevitable source of energy in near future.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Emissions are among those crucial factors that create a huge stress on the people related to engine industry. LTC concepts like HCCI and PPCI are proved as potential solutions for reducing NOX emissions. The impact of ethanol premixed fraction on PPCI mode diesel engine has been investigated in this study. Various ethanol flow rates like 0.27, 0.45, 0.54, 0.72 and 0.81 kg/hr are fumigated in conventional single cylinder diesel engine. Ethanol is used due to the fact that it is available naturally as well as manufactured industrially. The combustion, emission and performance characteristics are plotted for each and every load with various premixed fractions and then the results are compared to pure diesel operation. It is clear from the results that the range of stable operation is being confined by ethanol for different premixed fractions. It can be safely said that for all stable operation, the NOX emission is exceptionally less compared to pure diesel, though, the Un burnt Hydrocarbon & Carbon monoxide emissions are comparatively more. NOX and smoke are decreased for all the premixed fractions at full load. At medium load operations, less NOX, smoke opacity, CO and HC is obtained. Also, at low load operations, there is less NOX and smoke opacity up to premixed fraction 0.3, but HC and CO emissions increases on further increase in the premixed fraction.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
This article, exemplify the deformation behaviour of dielectric elastomer peristaltic actuator with variation in relative permittivity as a function of voltage induced strain. Modified model is proposed to predict the behaviour of peristaltic actuators, best suited for biomedical applications to transport incompressible fluids. Transportation is accomplished by a series of radially expanding and axially inextensible tubular modules, made up of dielectric elastomer. Consecutive equations are derived using the hypothesis of linear elasticity. The static electromechanical actuation performance is estimated and compared well with existing experimental as well as modelling data. Results indicate an efficient model is attained by considering crucial material parameters that significantly influence electromechanical performance. In the highlight, many other behaviours like viscoelasticity, dielectric loss, breakdown strength, etc. need attention to realize a reliable model for dielectric elastomer actuator towards commercial applications.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Microchannel heat sink has broad relevance in microelectronics and optical devices. Study in this paper focuses on enhancing the cooling characteristics of microchannel heat sink used in such devices. Instead of conventional, rectangular or circular cross-section channel designs, this study uses microchannels with gradually varying cross-section along the length. Three channels geometries employing entirely diverging or converging designs as well as combined diverging-diverging design are studied. The cooling performance is ascertained by using nanofluid and DI water as coolants flowing at different Reynolds numbers by analysing thermal characteristics such as temperature variation and Nusselt number using commercial software ANSYS® Fluent. Study demonstrates that the nanofluid is more efficient for the heat sink application irrespective of the channel geometry.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
The methods of severe plastic deformation are the procedures of grain refinement of bulk crystalline materials to ultrafine or up-to Nano crystalline structure followed by improvement in mechanical properties of different metals and alloys used for various automobile, aerospace and defence applications. In this research paper, discussion has been made about the comparison of different methods of severe plastic deformation for perfection in microstructure and subsequent changes in mechanical properties for industrial applications. The results achieved by Equal Channel Angular Pressing method are more useful for grain refinement by the reason of high imposed shear strain in the material. It has also been observed that using this method strength is also increased with ductility as desired in most of the cases. It can be concluded here that detailed study is still to be explored after processing the material after severe plastic deformation.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Solar colletors of Flat Plate type is a thermal transfer device that absorbs solar radiation and converts it into heat, which is mainly used to increase the water temperature, heat and dryness, dryness of crops in the region, space heating and in industries where this hot fluid is required for many chemical reactions, and for applications requiring the temperature of the fluid to be less than 100°C. As non-renewable sources of energy are becoming depleted and will soon have the power crisis. So, referring to fatigue rates, we should use our entire renewable resources so that we can control the rate of decline. The main components of the flat plate air collector are, absorbing plate, top covering plate (glass cover), insulating material and channel pipes covered with insulating material. Absorber plates are covered with a high absorbent coating. The top cover should be made of a maximum transmittance. The effectiveness of the flat plate air collector is highly affected by the losses through the top covering material and also due to the low heat transfer coefficient between the absorber plate and the air flowing through it. Most of the experiments and studies have shown that efficiency can be increased by using different types of solar collector which include double pass, a single pass with fins etc. Based on the literature survey it has been found that most of the studies on the solar collector are done to increase its thermal efficiency by enhancing the rate heat transfer between air and the absorber plate by using rough surface on the absorber plate.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
In recent times, butanol emerges as one of the most promising option to diminish the prolong use of fossil products. The testing of different blends and composition of butanol with gasoline is newest theme of research. In the present work, three different fuels are prepared by using 5%, 10% and 15% blends of butanol with gasoline. The important performance parameters & emission characteristics of a conventional SI engine namely, brake power, torque, brake specific fuel consumption, fuel power, brake specific energy consumption, brake mean effective pressure, un-burnt HC emissions, CO emissions, NOx emissions, and CO2 emissions are tested. Result shows that the butanol blend of 15% is the most appropriate to use as fuel. The experimentally measured values of butanol blends in gasoline confirms that the properties of butanol are quite adaptive with gasoline which implies that no engine modifications required for using butanol blends with gasoline as a replacement to gasoline.
