Removal of Adhered Mortar from Recycled Aggregates
Abstract: While recycled aggregates can replace natural aggregate in making concrete without compromising strength, itis imperative to appraise the quality of the former. Quality of recycled aggregates depends upon thecomposition and strength of concrete from which it is derived. Thus it is necessary to identify and evaluatesignificant parameters characterizing a typical recycled aggregate. Adhered mortar present on recycledaggregates has been observed to adversely affect the performance of aggregates in concrete, thus …

Influence of Liquid Paraffin Wax as an Internal Curing Agent for Concrete Mixes
Abstract: Curing is the most crucial measure for the compressive strength of concrete. In this study an internal curing agent named as paraffin wax which comes under a brand name cure concrete has been used to check its efficacy. Cure concrete has a harder surface and is more impervious. Preventing moisture loss is essential for avoiding plastic shrinkage, which lowers permeability and contributes to the formation of strength. Furthermore, to increase …

Study of PBX and its Subsequent Development in Intercom System
Abstract: A private branch exchange (PBX) is a telephone exchange that serves a particular business or office. It operates as a connection between a private organization - usually a business organization and the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However, the particular development of PBX in its prototype model is both expensive and not feasible. Hence, proposed project work is limited to study of PBX and a suitable prototype model it’s devised …

Design and Verification of Low Power High Speed Voltage Level Shifter Based on Pass Transistor Methodology
Abstract: This study explains how a voltage level shifter (LS) can be built using a Wilson current mirror level shifter (WCMLS) with a mirrored output. The proposed fix avoids WCMLS's typical issue of requiring a mirror with a size ratio that is too large. It's a space- and cost-saver. The proposed LS requires less components than its modern versions and uses only tiny components, taking up even less space. The proposed …

Using Emission Taxes as Policy Instruments for Clean Coal Technologies in Indian Coal-fired Power Plants
Abstract: AbstractRising electrification needs have led to increased coal combustion, which in turn has made India, the second highest sulphur dioxide and third highest carbon dioxide emitter. The twin task of providing electricity to 300 million citizens while meeting stringent climate change mitigation needs is a major challenge to India. Thus, a strategy for joint energy-economy growth has to be worked out. Coal-fired power plants account for around half of the …

Simulation of A New Configuration for Tidal Power Plants: Analysis of Power Generation Increase
Abstract: A new concept in tidal energy use has been developed and modeled. The system is based on nonconventional distribution of tidal turbines in series rather than in parallel, using the stepped profile of the continental shelf. A hybrid configuration of series and parallel distribution of tidal turbines has been studied and analyzed. A third option with quincunx distribution of the tidal turbines has also been studied. The results have been …

Performance Analysis of Induction Motor using DTC Technique
Abstract: AbstractDirect Torque Control is a control method used for high-performance torque control in AC drive systems. The standard DTC drive includes a couple of hysteresis comparators, a flux and torque estimator and a selection table for voltage vectors. Torque and flux are governed simultaneously by implementing appropriate voltage vectors, and de-coupling control of torque and flux can be accomplished by restricting these amounts within their hysteresis bands. The DTC requires …
