Enhancing Worker Comfort in High-Heat Environments: A Triangular Bladeless Cooling Fan Approach
Abstract: Workers in high-heat industrial environments frequently encounter thermal stress, fatigue, and dehydration, which significantly impact both productivity and safety. Existing cooling solutions such as pedestal fans, ceiling fans, and central air-cooling systems often fall short due to limited airflow reach, safety concerns from exposed blades, high energy consumption, and poor suitability for dynamic workshop layouts. To address these challenges, this study presents a novel triangular bladeless fan designed specifically for …

Comparative Analysis of Disc Brake Using Eco-Friendly Material
Abstract: Brakes are crucial components for slowing or stopping the vehicle. Almost all vehicles use disc brakes. The working of a disc brake is simple; when the brake pedal is pressed, braking pads are forced mechanically against the rotor or disc on both surfaces. The friction generated between the rotor and brake pads slows down the vehicle. The design and materials of disc brakes play a significant role in their performance. …
