A Study on Insect Journey using Sensor
Abstract: The orthodox entomologist’s toolkit – the net, the vial, the killing jar – has long rendered its subject’s mute. We have cataloged insects by their form, their pinned and static beauty, but have been largely deaf to the living, breathing reality of their existence. This study proposes a paradigm shift: to listen. By deploying a suite of miniaturized, non-invasive sensors – from accelerometers that trace the micro-vibrations of a beetle’s …

Injection Pressure Optimization for Non-edible Biodiesel Blends in CRDI Engines: A Comparative Study
Abstract: The growing demand for clean and sustainable energy has increased interest in biodiesel produced from non-edible oil sources. These fuels are renewable, biodegradable, and do not compete with food resources. However, the effective use of biodiesel blends in modern diesel engines requires proper control of fuel injection parameters, particularly injection pressure. In common rail direct injection (CRDI) engines, injection pressure strongly influences spray formation, air–fuel mixing, combustion behaviour, and exhaust …

Analysis of Elevated Liquid Storage Tank on Sloping Ground with Variable Heights
Abstract: Past earthquake events have shown that even well-designed elevated water tanks can suffer severe damage or collapse. Much of this damage occurs due to a limited understanding of the behavior and appropriate selection of supporting systems during the design process. With a large mass concentrated at the top of slender supports, these tanks are especially vulnerable to horizontal seismic forces. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the strength and performance …
