An Efficient Method of Estimating and Analysing Soil Moisture Using IOT
Abstract: The current state of water content on the earth is decreasing at a rapid rate. Due to this reason, the lands which used to be fertile, moist, and healthy for agriculture purposes and various other forest regions are drying out due to lack of moisture content. Excess water in various regions can be diverted to the lands with low moisture levels and converting them into fertile plain lands. The recent …

CONVERSION BETWEEN T-π OF NETWORKS USING PSPICE CIRCUIT SIMULATION
Abstract: Any passive network can be represented by their equivalent in either T-π (star-delta)model. From the conversion methods of T-π (star-delta) for resistive circuits, the behavioural modeling of Pspice simulation program, in which various mathematical equations could be represented by non-linear voltage/current dependent sources, is used to obtain equivalent circuits using DC option. The resistors are represented by their linear voltage/current relation. The zero voltage sources are used to measure currents …
