A busy lifestyle and less exercise can lead to physical problems. To reduce use of fossil fuel and health related problems Human powered vehicles are one of the practical possibilities for sustainable transport systems. The vehicle which is driven by human power i.e. muscular power will provide an immediate solution to fuel limitations and pollution caused by conventional fuel propelled vehicles. Although much research has been done on electric bicycles, more research is needed on speed, power sources, batteries, charging methods, bicycling facilities/infrastructures, rider comfort, and safety. This paper focuses on the improvements needed in the field of electric bicycles such as energy sources, Electric mo...

It is a very cost-effective and efficient approach for improving surface finish and hardness. Use of burnishing to replace current heat treatment and grinding processes on reamer shank is offered as a unique strategy for reamer shank processing. This change in processing reduces cycle time and resources while also conserves energy required for processing during heat treatment and grinding. In this work Taguchi optimization technique is used to determine the optimum parameter values of burnishing process to attain required surface finish and hardness to fulfil all functional requirements of shank. Test outcomes are convincing which shows that suggested process has capability to replace current heat treatment and grinding process, thus conserves energy.

This leads to investigate surface finishing processes like polishing, buffing, lapping, burnishing etc. Burnishing is well known, effective and efficient super finishing technique which involves surface layers plastic deformation by cold working to refine surface texture and improve service life of component. Current work focuses on investigation of ball burnishing process and optimization of it on EN31 steel. Taguchi method is implemented for determination of best possible process parameters combination to decrease surface roughness and increase hardness of EN31 steel specimens. After burnishing surface roughness decreases from 0.446 to 0.089 μm and hardness increases from 179.5 to 266.5 Hv. Burnishing speed and feed are remarkable factors for decreasing surface roughness, whereas no. of tool passes and applied force are crucial for increasin...

A detailed microstructural and phase compositional study was carried out on the coating. Mechanical properties of the coating were also evaluated. WC-10Co-4Cr coating showed a homogeneous, well-bonded structure with low porosity, which is mainly attributed to less decarburization of WC. Erosion resistance of the coating was evaluated by air jet erosion tester at three different impingement angles (30[Formula: see text], 60[Formula: see text] and 90[Formula: see text]) for 35 and 70[Formula: see text]m/s impact velocities. The FESEM micrographs were taken, before and after erosion tests, to determine the erosion mechanism. The test results revealed that the coating protects the substrate at 30[Formula: see text], 60[Formula: see text] and 90[Formula: see text] impingement angles. At 70[Formula: see text]m/s impact velocity, uncoated and coated steel s...

In the present investigation, WC–10Co–4Cr coating was deposited by high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) ... more In the present investigation, WC–10Co–4Cr coating was deposited by high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) process on CA6NM hydro turbine steel to improve its erosion resistance. The coating was characterized in term of crossectional microstructure, phase, microhardness and fracture toughness using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffractometer and microhardness tester respectively. Solid particle erosion resistance of the substrate and coating were evaluated by air jet erosion tester at two different impingement angles (30° and 90°). Coating microstructure has shown a homogeneous and well-bonded laminar morphology. The microhardness of the coating was observed more than three times higher than CA6NM substrate. This resulted in significant improvement in erosion resistance of coated CA6NM steel at both impingement angles.

The objective of this paper is to give an overview of evaporative cooling as well as a design for an in-direct type evaporation cooling system. This paper describes an evaporation type passive cooling system and uses Evapcal software to design an in-direct type evaporation passive cooling system. A hospital building in Karnataka's eastern region was studied as a case study. It was observed that the in-direct type evaporation cooler system's air output temperature and relative humidity will be 25.4 0C and 53% respectively. During summer season, indirect evaporative cooling system provides comfort condition for 60% of operational hours.
