Authors: Jyothi D N, H S Prasanna  
Published: December 2023

Fine-grained soils are mainly composed of kaolinite, montmorillonite, illite clay mixtures in various ratios beside sand in the natural world. Only demographically significant areas are being studied for the shear behavior of these soils, which takes a lot of time and money. Clay's basic behaviour demonstrates a lower shear strength magnitude, In order to solve this issue, extensive research was done to boost clay's shear strength. In view of increasing shear strength of clay , in this experimental study , different proportions of clay minerals were taken namely kaolinite ,bentonite and natural sand, which depict the kaolinitic , montmorillonitic and sand in nature. At the outset, out of 3 ingredients, Bentonite was kept constant at 10% and other ingredients namely kaolinite & sand were varied with minimum and maximum fines in the mix proportions. Further similar sets of experimentation were done with Kaolinite & Sand variations as explained, each time keeping the bentonite proportion constant at variation from 20 to 80%. Each sample with the pre-decided proportion was tested for its unconfined compressive strength by fixing the OMC and MDD as per required value which were done precedingly. Prepared samples were kept in plastic pouch for the period of 30,60 and 90 days . These samples were also observed for SEM analyses for microstructure study. From this experimental analysis it was observed that the unconfined compressive strength and shear parameters like cohesion, and angle of internal friction were increased with different ageing span varying from zero to 90 days and also analysed in terms of their respective microstructures.
The results shows that the trend of increasing shear strength with 0 to 90 days of ageing effect as well as increase in Bentonite content in the mix proportion . Unconfined compressive strength (qu) increased from 78 kpa to 110 kpa(for minimum bentonite of 10%) with increase in ageing from 0 to 90 days and observed 140 kpa to 204 kpa with the increase of bentonite in the mix proportion (maximum content of 80%) subjected to ageing effect from 0 to 90 days . From SEM analysis it was observed that crystalline white lumps and agglomerate structure were formed with increasing bentonite content in the mix proportion and ageing effect from zero to 90 days. It was responsible for the increase in strength and shear parameters of the mix proportion.

Harmonizing Muffler Design: The Virtuoso Performance based on Inlet Diameter, Outlet Diameter and Material in Orchestrating Transmission Loss
Authors: K Santosh Kumar, K Kishore, P Ushasri  
Published: December 2023

This research paper delves into the intricate relationship between muffler design & acoustic performance, uncovering a symphony of variables that influence transmission loss (TL dB) in muffler systems. This comprehensive analysis explores the impact of inlet diameter, outlet diameter, muffler length, and material choice on noise reduction, presenting a nuanced understanding of their roles in achieving optimal acoustic outcomes. The data reveals that increasing the inlet diameter generally enhances noise reduction, akin to a conductor orchestrating a crescendo of frequencies. This effect is particularly pronounced during the transition from an inlet diameter of 15 to 19, resembling a musical composition reaching a breathtaking climax. Conversely, enlarging the outlet diameter plays a consistent baseline, driving frequencies to higher octaves with unwavering precision.
Muffler length emerges as a significant factor, the longer mufflers consistently exhibit higher TL values, although exceptions exist. Like a subtle harmony in a musical composition, the length of the muffler occasionally introduces its own unique influence. Material choice, akin to soloists in an orchestra, presents its own set of unique characteristics.
In the intricate realm of refrigeration systems, where science and engineering converge, refrigerants take centre stage as the virtuoso performers of the heat transfer ballet. With an artful choreography that rivals any stage production, elegant transition of these refrigerants takes place from gas to liquid and back to gas, all the while embracing and relinquishing heat with finesse. It's a performance that keeps our environments comfortable and our perishables preserved. In this captivating spectacle of thermodynamics, a diverse cast of refrigerants takes the limelight. Hydro-fluorocarbons (HFCs) like R-134a and R-410A perform their roles with precision, offering a symphony of cooling capabilities. Hydro-chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), once stalwarts of the industry, exemplified by R-22, now take a humble exit, prompted by environmental concerns, as the show must evolve.
