A Comparative Study of Neem Oil and Mahogany Oil as Corrosion Inhibitors for Mild Steel Exposed to Hydrochloric Acid
Abstract: Corrosion is essentially an oxidation process, wherein the oxidizing agent itself undergoes reduction due to the influence of corrosion agents like salt, air, or moisture. Metals and their alloys naturally tend to react spontaneously with their surroundings, leading to a detrimental impact on their mechanical and physical properties. This project aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two different oils, namely neem oil and mahogany oil, as agents to prevent acid …

Solidification Curve Analysis of Cylindrical Casting by FEM
Abstract: In casting process, molten metal is solidified in mould cavity. Solidification process majorly classify into three different sections: (i) liquefaction (ii) solidify (iii) after solidification. In all three processes, one parameter which is called 'IHTC' (Intermediate Heat Transfer Coefficient), is varies with time. IHTC coefficient depends on shape, size, type of casting etc., so, it is continuously varies with all dependent functions. So, establishment of IHTC value is a very …

A Five-Layer Architectural Framework for Sustainable and Scalable AI Systems
Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not only about algorithms. AI works like a full “stack” of layers, from electricity to real-world user applications. In this paper, we explain a simple and student-friendly Five- Layer Architecture of AI: (1) Energy, (2) Chips, (3) Infrastructure, (4) Models, and (5) Applications. Each layer supports the next layer, like a cake with multiple layers. If any layer is weak, AI systems become slow, costly, or …
