Comparative Parametric Investigation of Methane, Propane, Butane, and Gasoline on Single Cylinder SI Engine to Improve its Performance and Emission Characteristics
Abstract: This paper presents the single cylinder SI engine based generator. The focus of this study is to use various alternative fuels like LPG (Propane), CNG (Methane), butane and comparing their performances with conventional fuel gasoline for SI engine. This study investigates that when using alternative fuels, the most prominent fuel in performance is methane, because performance is comparatively increasing and emissions are reduced. So, the methane (CH4) fuel is efficient, …

ASSESSING RISKS OF FIRE ITS CONSEQUENCE MODELLING AND DETECTION SYSTEMS FOR OFFSHORE INDUSTRIES
Abstract: Offshore industries are well recognized all over the world for its complex conditions, geometry, robustness, and rigidness. A small mistake can immediately escalate to catastrophe, of all the accidents reported till date fire is the most frequently reported one. Major accidents like the Deepwater Horizon, piper alpha has taught entire crude industry a lesson on how important it is to prevent fire occurrence. therefore, it is necessary to study fire …

Air Conditioning System by Using Four Wheeler Vehicle Suspension
Abstract: Now a day we have required fuel efficient car. But the engine of the cars is not efficient when the load on car is high. For this purpose we have reduce the load on engine that is to run the AC and Compressor. Instead of engine power we are used the suspension system for producing compressed air and AC effect Vice- Versa. Current air-conditioning systems can reduce the fuel economy …

Safety climate status in oil and gas industries: A review of the literature
Abstract: Safety is a very critical concept which needs to be followed in all the industries. In order to remove the confusions related to safety climate in the oil and gas industries, a total of 14 papers are reviewed to disambiguate the concept of safety climate and remove the confusions regarding safety climate in the oil and gas industry. The papers considered here cover twenty-three years of safety climate research and …

Aspects of Diamond-Like Carbon based MEMS and Microfluidic Devices
Abstract: In general, diamond-like carbon (DLC) is the hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) to be used in the fabrication of micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) and microfluidic devices. Mukhopadhyay as author has recently demonstrated the variation of surface wettability in polymer based microchannels by the use of DLC. Also, DLC can be used as an anti-stiction coating in different applications. In this review, different features of DLC are briefly highlighted. This educational short …
