Deflection Analysis of the Leaf Spring Suspension System with the Combination of Helical Springs
Abstract: An efficient and optimized leaf spring suspension system for heavy vehicles must have low deflection but good damping capacity of absorbing shocks and jerks. In this research article, deflection analysis of a modified leaf spring suspension system with the combination of helical spring model is presented. To furnish this end, in the typical leaf spring suspension system model, a helical spring at each side of the master leaf is incorporated. …

Analysis of Engine Performance and Exhaust Emission Characteristics of VCR Engine Fuelled with Different Blends of Jatropha Biodiesel
Abstract: With the concern to global environment issues, researchers are encouraged to find alternate for scarce and rapidly diminishing fossil fuels. From the variety of options, fuels obtained from vegetable oils or animal fats have proven better alternate for petroleum fuels. Having its roots in agriculture, vegetable oils are capable to minimize overall СO addition to the atmosphere. Due to higher viscosity and low volatility compared to petroleum diesel, neat vegetable …

Elimination of Super Chargers in Automobiles by Using Cooling System
Abstract: Nowadays, the fossil fuels are depleting day by day. The efficiency of an automobile has to be increased to overcome the shortage of fossil fuels. If we reduce the consumption of the brake power obtained during combustion for other purposes rather than running the vehicle such as super chargers, cooling systems etc., we can increase the efficiency. We are using almost 35% of the output power of the crankshaft for …
