Carbon fiber/glass fiber-reinforced aluminum (Al) stacks are becoming predominant in the aerospace industries owing to their synergistic effect on numerous properties obtained by the combination of metal and composite material. This necessitates an investigation work to be performed on the machining characteristics of this special category of Al stacks. This research work focuses on studying the i...... hiện toàn bộ
Genetic Algorithm-Based Fundamental Frequency Optimization of Laminated Composite Shells Carrying Distributed MassJournal of The Institution of Engineers (India): Series C - Tập 103 - Trang 389-401 - 2022
Subham Pal, Kanak Kalita, Salil Haldar
Composite plates and shells are an inevitable part of the modern structural, aerospace and marine industry. Load-carrying plates and shells must be optimized from a frequency viewpoint to avoid resonance. In the present study, a global optimization framework is developed by combining the iterative improvement ability of genetic algorithm (GA) with the brute accuracy of finite element (FE) method t...... hiện toàn bộ
Unsteady Natural Convection in Condenser tank containing Al2O3–DI Water NanofluidsJournal of The Institution of Engineers (India): Series C - Tập 101 - Trang 703-709 - 2020
Bharpoor Singh, Chanpreet Singh
The effect on natural convection in a condenser tank containing Al2O3–DI water nanofluids is studied. The tank is located on one end of a copper pipe whose other end is heated electrically. The nanofluids are prepared by two-step method by dispersing non-metallic oxide Al2O3 particles of 32 nm in DI water at volume fractions of 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15%. The analytical and experimentally obtained thermo...... hiện toàn bộ
Kinetic Study of Indian Lignite by Model-Free MethodsJournal of The Institution of Engineers (India): Series C - Tập 103 - Trang 837-845 - 2022

Lignite is abundantly available in India and could be an important energy source. This low-grade coal could be utilized to produce clean fuel via thermochemical conversion processes such as pyrolysis and gasification. The thermogravimetric analysis technique can evaluate the solid-state kinetics of materials. This work focuses on evaluating the thermal decomposition characteristic of Indian lignit...... hiện toàn bộ
Automotive Fire Control by Designing and Launching a New Intelligent System: Experimental Results, Automotive Notification Design, New Design Comparison ChartJournal of The Institution of Engineers (India): Series C - - 2022
Esmaeil Mirmahdi, Davood Afshari
Today, automotive fires can have various causes, such as technical defects, engine overheating, fuel system leaks, and so on. If these notifications are detected by a sensor or actuator, human and financial loses will be prevented. Introduction and installation of these sensors and actuators requires proper review and design, which in this article was considered the best design for them. An automa...... hiện toàn bộ
Investigation and Taguchi Optimization of Microbial Fuel Cell Salt Bridge Dimensional ParametersJournal of The Institution of Engineers (India): Series C - Tập 100 - Trang 103-112 - 2018
Dhrupad Sarma, Parimal Bakul Barua, Nabendu Dey, Sumitro Nath, Mrinmay Thakuria, Synthia Mallick
One major problem of two chamber salt bridge microbial fuel cells (MFCs) is the high resistance offered by the salt bridge to anion flow. Many researchers who have studied and optimized various parameters related to salt bridge MFC, have not shed much light on the effect of salt bridge dimensional parameters on the MFC performance. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to investigate t...... hiện toàn bộ
