A Review on Design and Flow Analysis of Quadcopter Propellers
Abstract: The quadcopter is a complex system in which propeller blades, aerodynamics, and structural behavior are tightly interlinked. Changing a small detail, such as blade angle or material, can significantly affect performance parameters like thrust and efficiency, as well as the drone's vibrations and stability in flight. Because quadcopters typically operate at Reynolds numbers between roughly 20,000 and 150,000, propeller theories developed for full-scale aircraft often fail to translate directly, making …

Design and development of easy operated and cost-effective advanced fertilizer spraying mechanism
Abstract: Agriculture is very labour-intensive and requires efficiency and productivity to minimise cost and maximise yield. Manual application of fertilizer was one of the greatest challenges that a farmer faces, and it is a very time-consuming, physically demanding, and labor-intensive task. The traditional backpack sprayers have high burden on the on-farm labor and with their non-uniform application, there are inefficiencies and potential crop injury. In response, it is proposed to develop …
