An Image Processing Algorithm for Varietal Classification of Sapota Fruits
Abstract: In several cases, fruits of different varieties are often mixed into the same bulk and reach the market/processing unit. In such scenarios, variations in product properties due to varietal variations result in inconsistent product end-product quality. This is of important concern in case of sapota; particularly between Cricket ball and P[ala varieties, the most dominant varieties grown in India. Hence, in the present study, a machine vision system consisting of …

Laminar Propagation of Lean-Premixed Flames in Meso-scale Tubes
Abstract: A meso-scale channel was earlier developed [1] for the propagation of laminar lean premixed flames. This paper, therefore, reports the experimental variations of flame speed with inner meso-scale tube diameters (di), equivalence ratio (φ), and mixture flow rate (Q) with methane and propane fuels using the meso-scale channel developed earlier. Based on the flame front history, flame speed (SL) and propagation speed (Ud) were computed at temperature (T) greater than …

Effect of Flexibility on Aircraft Wing
Abstract: The shape of the aerofoil determines how the air circulates around it and how much moment and force will be the acting on it. When the body is rigid (fixed) flow around the geometry remains unchanged at particular A.O.A. (angle of attack), but if the body is allowed to be flexible (free) i.e., it can deform its shape, due to which there will be a significant change in the shape …
