Authors: Gurusamy P , Hari Krishna Raj S 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
There are so many casting processes available in the manufacturing industry world. Each method has its distinguished pros and cons. The main drawback of the conventional casting process, such as high pressure die casting, is the presence of air, wrinkles and porosity. Casting without these defects is really challenging and leads to tailor the new innovative processing method. To develop the quality and integrity of the process the suitable technique is considered as squeeze casting. This method is versatile and exhibits unique properties since many automobile manufacturing industries have incorporated it. Squeeze cast component can have superior mechanical, micro, and microstructural characteristics of features compared with traditional casting techniques as it alleviates voids and blowholes. The current study focuses on the effect of process parameters of squeeze casting towards the mechanical properties of Al/SiCp materials. Volume addition of 10% SiCp to the molten aluminum metal to pour into the preheated die is performed in the laboratory. Cylindrical cast samples are cut into pieces as per the dimensions to carryout material characterization.

Abstract
Electric vehicles or portable electronic devices have come to rely heavily upon electrochemical devices, such as rechargeable batteries with optimum charge discharge characteristics, current ratings, charge-discharge rate (rate capability), cyclability etc. to perform under the expected service conditions. One of the goals of a rechargeable battery materials researcher is to fabricate materials to realize solid-state batteries with high reliability and lithium–air batteries with ultimate capacities. Most of the materials although possess high theoretical energy density values: invariably suffer from inferior cyclic performance. The performance of these batteries is guided by the electrodes within these devices which in turn depend upon the materials used to fabricate them. Chemical composition and its uniformity, consistency in microstructural features, and adequate choice of various layers that may be in the form of coatings to be overlaid on the base materials mostly comprised of ceramic oxides such as oxides of Li doped with niobates, manganates, vanadate etc. with carbon or graphene coated over layers to provide with the suitable interfacial conductivity as electrode materials in Li-ion batteries. The interfacial layers and the mechanism of interfacial phenomena encompassing the grains play a significant role in determining the performance. Optimum microstructure is obtained by choosing the right processing equipment and spray drying the composition in slurry form provides the most optimum solution. Further, spray drying offers high potential for a transfer from a lab scale technology to industrial level extrapolation. In this paper, nano graphene has been spray dried along with nano alumina grains in water media and polyvinyl alcohol binder to ascertain the free flowability, consistency in formation of graphene over layer on alumina grains as well as uniformity in graphene on alumina composition. The free flowing spray dried graphene coated alumina powders were analysed via SEM, EDS and XRD and results are presented. Additional information based on a review conducted on published information on most popular compositions in terms of electrode materials such as in Li-ion, sodium-ion etc have also been included. In the review section the rapidly increasing literature on spray drying of solutions and suspensions are also included.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
In Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations connected loads are intermittent due to continuous variation of charging level battery. In this situation, the linear controller like P, PI, and PID does not offer a quick and good transient response to the EV charging converter. In some cases, EV charging stations push to instability region for abrupt change in loads. Therefore, this research work focused on investigation of non-linear controllers for EV battery charging station. This paper investigates the performance of Hysteresis Controller (HC) and Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) for EV charging station under dynamic load conditions. The hysteresis controller and sliding mode controller are developed for buck converter fed EV charging stations and its performance is analyzed using pole zero plot and bode plot methods. From the investigation it is found that SMC offer optimum gain margin and phase margin under dynamic load condition for EV charging station.

Abstract
To control the systems which operate in a repetitive mode is known to be a difficult task. For example, systems like robotic manipulators are used for doing the repetitive assigned task. This can be overcome by the iterative learning control (ILC) method. In this article, the DC motor model is discussed for controlling the speed of the motor by the design of an ILC algorithm, and its performance is compared with the conventional PID algorithm. The ILC algorithm is implemented for the minimum and non-minimum phase systems. The resulting response, absolute and integral absolute errors are plotted. The Z-N tuning method is used to implement PID control. The performance of the DC motor has been evaluated by comparing the Integral Square Error (ISE), Integral Absolute Error (IAE), and Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE) with the conventional PID controller.
