  Design and Development of Twin booster - A Sustainable Health Solution

  By S. P. Thorat, A. S. Bhaskar, D. B. Sonawane, S. R. Korke, P. N. Patil, S.S.Gore

  Abstract: During the revolution in eco-friendly technologies, cycling has emerged as one of the most dependable and sustainable modes of transportation. Rising fuel prices, increasing traffic congestion, and the growing threat of global warming have challenged researchers and engineers to develop environmentally friendly alternatives for short-distance travel. Among the available solutions, bicycles remain one of the simplest, most affordable, and non-polluting transportation systems. In addition to mobility, bicycles have also gained …

  Impact of Thermal Image Preprocessing Methods on a ResNet50 Model Baseline Performance for Ball Bearing Fault Diagnosis

  By Tanmay Garg, Aditya Singh Tomar, Vaibhav Shivhare

  Abstract: Ball bearings are an important part for the operational rotating machinery. To prevent it from failing, traditional engineering uses many methods. One of these is infrared thermography (IRT). IRT is a useful tool that helps monitor the situation without physical contact. But in the current world, various fields use artificial intelligence to do it more accurately & for fast detection. Deep learning models play an important role in fault detection …

  A Review on Design and Flow Analysis of Quadcopter Propellers

  By Gyanendra Jha, Jatin Kumar Singh, Dev Kumar, Kunal Manish Mangal

  Abstract: The quadcopter is a complex system in which propeller blades, aerodynamics, and structural behavior are tightly interlinked. Changing a small detail, such as blade angle or material, can significantly affect performance parameters like thrust and efficiency, as well as the drone's vibrations and stability in flight. Because quadcopters typically operate at Reynolds numbers between roughly 20,000 and 150,000, propeller theories developed for full-scale aircraft often fail to translate directly, making …

  A Review on the Design of Vortex Flow Generator to Optimize Heat Transfer Enhancement in a Straight Tube

  By Pranjul Mishra, Divyanshu Shukla, Nikhil Bajpai, Aman Singh

  Abstract: This research focuses on the design and evaluation of a vortex flow generator (VFG) for improving heat transfer performance in a straight circular tube. Vortex generators create longitudinal and swirling secondary flows inside the tube, which enhance fluid mixing, disturb the thermal boundary layer, and increase convective heat transfer. Vortex flow generators placed inside straight tubes are widely used to improve heat transfer performance in thermal systems. These devices create …

  Design and development of easy operated and cost-effective advanced fertilizer spraying mechanism

  By S. N. Jawale, H. D. Agwan, P. D. Gawade, V. S. Giri, R. P. Bhalerao, V. J. Suryawanshi

  Abstract: Agriculture is very labour-intensive and requires efficiency and productivity to minimise cost and maximise yield. Manual application of fertilizer was one of the greatest challenges that a farmer faces, and it is a very time-consuming, physically demanding, and labor-intensive task. The traditional backpack sprayers have high burden on the on-farm labor and with their non-uniform application, there are inefficiencies and potential crop injury. In response, it is proposed to develop …

  Design And Fabrication of Contactless Magnetic Gears

  By Ganesh V. Bhosale, Aditya R. Raut, Anand M. Jadhao, Rupesh A. Shiralkar

  Abstract: Modern engineering prioritizes speed, efficiency, and reliability, spurring innovations like contactless magnetic gear systems that transmit torque through interacting magnetic fields from permanent magnets, eliminating physical contact to drastically cut friction, backlash, wear, lubrication needs, and heat—operating silently with minimal vibration and peak efficiencies up to 99% under ideal conditions, outperforming traditional gears in low-speed, high-torque direct-drive applications such as motors. The design centers on two rotors: an outer high-speed …

  Thermal Performance Analysis and Optimization of Pin-Fin Heat Sink Using CFD, Taguchi Method, and Machine Learning

  By A. Kalyan Charan, C. Venkateshwar Reddy, C.N. Rohit Sai, K. Someshwar Rao

  Abstract: Efficient thermal management is essential for improving the performance and reliability of modern engineering systems and electronic devices. This study presents the design, simulation, and optimization of a pin-fin heat sink using SolidWorks for three-dimensional modeling and ANSYS for thermal and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. Four different pin-fin geometries, namely square, pentagon, octagon, and circular fins, are considered to evaluate their thermal performance under varying operating conditions. Aluminum is …

  Analysis of Thermoelectric Generator for Automotive Exhaust Energy Recovery

  By Rone, Manjeet Singh

  Abstract: Utilizing waste heat from thermodynamic systems has shown to be a successful tactic for reducing environmental emissions and improving overall energy efficiency. About 40% of the chemical energy generated during fuel combustion is rejected by exhaust gases in internal combustion engines. It is possible to increase vehicle fuel efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions by harvesting this otherwise lost heat energy and turning it into useable electrical power. A viable …
