Proposal of System for High Efficiency Energy Extraction from LNG and Study of Use of EGR and SCR System in Ships
Abstract: The paper focuses on the green shipping methodologies and environment friendly practices. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is one of the most effective alternatives to traditional shipping fuels. Ports have LNG re-gasification systems, which generally use Open Rack Vaporizers (ORVs) to convert the LNG to NG. In this process, a lot of the ‘cold energy’ is lost. A proposal for a LNG re-gasification system has been made in this paper which …

Enhancing Engine Efficiency and Reducing Emissions: A Comprehensive Review of Air Calorimeter Technology
Abstract: The article talks about the idea behind this project to pre-heat the intake air that passes through the carburettor to increase a petrol engine's fuel efficiency. The vaporization of petrol in the carburettor is influenced by the humidity of the surrounding air. Therefore, vaporization can be facilitated, and full combustion can be accomplished by preheating the carburettor's incoming air for a significant amount of time. Additionally, by lowering the amount …

Weldability of Ferritic Stainless Steel
Abstract: The ferritic stainless steels are generally considered less weldable than austenitic stainless steels. In case of welding of first-generation ferritic stainless steels, rapid grain growth of ferrite takes place in both the fusion zone and heat-affected zone. These coarse grains have very low ductility and toughness. Excessive grain growth can be avoided by using lower welding heat input and or certain types of additives. They are lower in cost and …
