It is a well-known fact that a large amount of heat energy associated with the exhaust
gases from an engine is wasted.
A rough energy balance of the available energy in the combustion of fuel in a motor car
engine shows that one third is converted into shaft work,
one third is lost at radiator and one third is wasted as heat at the exhaust system,
even for a relatively small car engine.
Heat energy can be utilized from the exhaust gas — this heat energy is enough to power
an adsorption air conditioning system to produce the air conditioning effect.
ADSORPTION: Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions or molecules
from a gas, liquid or dissolved solid to a surface.
This process creates a film of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent. This
process differs from absorption, in which a fluid is dissolved by or permeates a liquid
or solid respectively.
Academic Year 2018-19 B.E. Project
This project includes the design and fabrication of lever propelled wheelchair. There
are many people who are disabled due to some injuries or other drastic diseases.
So, there are various techniques used in the improvement of the conventional wheelchair.
Researchers used the techniques like HMI, HCL and Accelerometer in the wheelchair.
It improved the basic model but there are some people who cannot afford such advanced
wheelchair. So, in this design we are using the lever for transmitting the force to move
wheelchair instead of applying the force on push rim.
We are using the basic mechanisms for the movement of wheelchair. The wheelchair is
designed in such a way that it requires less effort and it is cheaper than the other
advanced wheelchairs.
Academic Year 2018-19 B.E. Project
The movement of the train was not used for generation of power since diesel engine
innovation. The utilization of the moving train to produce electricity can be done.
So the production of electricity by using the concept of the rotation of secondary shaft
due to the primary railway axle. It is caused by the moving train by using an electrical
power generation system.
This device could be placed along railway bogies or locomotive axles. An electrical
power generation system comprises a variable capacitor and a power source.
The magnetic coupling hereby used will transfer power from locomotive axle to the
generator shaft without contact that will imply no contact / friction load on railway
locomotive shaft.
That will be beneficial for power generation without altering or damaging the ongoing
system.
Academic Year 2018-19 B.E. Project
According to reports shown in Feb-2018 the production of manual transmission has fallen
to 30% while the modern automatic transmission has increased to 70% of its production,
as the demand for gearless bikes has increased. This paper aims to introduce one such
kind of automatic transmission which is a Pneumatic Gear Shifter.
It is a system which will change the gear automatically with the help of Microcontroller
Unit, Control Unit, Pneumatic Cylinders, Hoses, and Sensors.
Academic Year 2018-19 B.E. Project
The industrial boilers are working at very high temperature and pressure, and some flue
gases formed in the boiler need to be exhausted into the atmosphere.
For this, boiler chimneys are provided. But over time, fouling forms in the chimney and
causes blockages. The existing chimney systems often lack any provision to clean the
particulate filters,
which reduces the boiler's efficiency and increases the risk of accidents. Our project
focuses on redesigning the boiler chimney to prevent fouling.
The new design allows for periodic cleaning of the particulate filters and enables quick
maintenance without interfering with boiler operations.
Academic Year 2018-19 B.E. Project
The program was arranged by the students of Third Year Mechanical Department. The initiative was taken by the MESA coordinators Mr. Dilip Lohar, Mr. Sanchit Bhikule, and Mr. Sharukh Khan on behalf of all students under the guidance of Prof. D.A. Baitule. HOD sir had given his charge to Mr. Dilip Lohar for that day. All MESA coordinators decided to conduct the teaching-learning activity on that day. All year students participated and delivered lectures in their respective classes. The respective faculty members were also present for the lectures. It was a nice experience to see students teaching in front of their juniors and colleagues. After the academics, all students along with the staff gathered in Room 228 and shared their experience about the activity. Students got the experience of teaching, how to face the class, and how to prepare for a lecture.
The industrial visit for CAD/CAM & Automation was arranged on 11th & 12th Oct 2018. A total of 99 students visited the companies along with 5 faculty members of the Mechanical Department. Students gained practical knowledge about robotics and automation. As India took its first steps as a political entity in 1947, the policymakers recognized that it would be in the country’s best interest to cultivate indigenous warship building as a strategic capability. In 1961, after Goa’s liberation, the potential of a small shipyard called “Estaleiros Navais de Goa” to contribute towards this national aspiration was recognized. The yard, later renamed Goa Shipyard Limited, was consciously shaped, developed, and upgraded to become one of the country’s premier defence shipbuilding hubs on the west coast. Students observed the working culture in industries, which will help them work in any industry after passing out from college.
The Cultural Event “Shivjayanti” was organized by MESA (Mechanical Engineering Students Association) and other associations under various departments of the college. The inauguration program started with lighting the lamps by all guests. The program began with a bike rally with students from every department. Prof. Dr. N. J. Uke greeted all the guests and gave an overview of Shivjayanti, along with a brief summary about KJEI. Students arranged Dhol Pathak for the event. Energetic performances were given on sword handling and other historical equipment. Students were motivated by various historical functions, and the views of King Shivaji were shared for individual personality development. This enhanced the capabilities of budding artists by contributing to the culture of India.
On the basis of the thoughts of King Shivaji, cleaning of Malhargad was organized by MESA (Mechanical Engineering Students Association). Students observed the condition of our Indian historical places and found them very dirty with lots of waste. Hence, they decided to take a good initiative and built a team where everyone acted as a team leader like King Shivaji. They decided to clean the fort after taking permission from the college, with full support from the staff. A total of 23 students participated in this cleaning drive. They started the cleaning from the statue of King Shivaji, hailing the name of JAY SHIVAJI and JAY BHAVANI. A lot of local people appreciated this event.
