Experimental Analysis of Cutting Forces Under Different Machining Parameters and Carbide Inserts During Turning of Hardened AISI 4340 Steel
Abstract: Turning of hardened materials with an advanced coated carbide insert has numerous advantages over the grinding process, e.g., reduced process cost, high material removal rate, and less environmental concern due to the elimination of the cutting fluid. Process parameters in conventional machining operations like cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut play the most crucial role behind the generation of heat which also leads to microstructural changes, improved tool life, …

Techno-economic Assessment of a Domestic Refrigerator with Aluminium-based Suction Line and Capillary Tube
Abstract: The present work reports the experimental performance evaluation of aluminum suction line-based domestic refrigerators. Furthermore, it compared domestic refrigerators with conventional copper capillary tubes and suction lines using R600a as a refrigerant. Performance parameters: energy consumption, ice-making time, and pull-down time was reduced significantly compared to conventional copper suction and capillary tube. Refrigerants having Ambient temperature for ice making test and pull down were initially set at 43°C and that …

A Review on Amino Acids
Abstract: Protein is made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of the molecule. Only 20 amino acids are involved in protein synthesis, even though more than 300 amino acids have been identified. In nature, all twenty amino acids did not appear at the same time. Rather, some of them appeared first, while others were later incorporated into the genetic code. It is vital to include them in one's …
