Design and Development of Household Water Boiler to utilize Marking Nut as Fuel
Abstract: This paper aims to offer an efficient solution to utilize unused Marking Nutshells as fuel. Conventional fuels like wood and coal are commonly used for heating water. These may be consumed directly to heat water. Marking Nut (Bibba Shells) is an alternative to conventional fuels for heating water because it is widely available. At some places, people have started using Marking Nutshells as fuel in water boiling as it consists …

Evaluation of Abrasive Grinding Parameters in Crankshaft Manufacturing
Abstract: Grinding is a metal cutting operation performed by means of rotating abrasive tool, called “Grinding wheel”. Grinding is done on surface of almost all conceivable shapes and materials of all kinds. In grinding, it is possible to achieve very accurate dimensions and smoother surface finish in a very short time and it is only a method after hardening. High temperature to the tune of the 1000 to 1400°C is usually …

Automatic Ball Element Feed Mechanism for Ball Bearing Assembly
Abstract: Bearings are one of the mostly used machine parts. Their rolling motion makes mostly all movements easier and they help in reducing friction. Industries manufacture many types of bearings, each used for different purpose. Bearing manufacturing companies are mostly semi-automatic or automatic. Now days all bearing companies minimize the maximum establishing cost and running cost for their unit. For reduction of both costs they must choose best method and process …

Modeling and Simulation Study of Flow and Temperature Characteristics of a Pen-shaped Plasma Torch
Abstract: This study presents the numerical modeling, simulation and experimental findings of plasma flow and temperature characteristics in pen-shaped plasma torch. The complex plasma flow characteristic due to the interaction between electric arc and nitrogen gas inside the pen-shaped plasma torch is modeled using the Maxwell’s and the Magnetic-Hydrodynamic (MHD) equations. Cartesian coordinate based finite volume discretization is used to solve numerically all the governing equations. At a specific boundary condition, …
