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.
