Recent Developments in Low-Temperature Combustion (LTC) Strategies for Next-Generation Engines
Abstract: AbstractThe growing demand for cleaner and more efficient internal combustion engines has driven extensiveresearch into advanced combustion methods, among which Low-Temperature Combustion (LTC)strategies have emerged as a highly promising area. LTC offers a unique approach to enginecombustion by lowering the peak temperatures within the combustion chamber, thereby significantlyreducing the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) – two major pollutantsassociated with traditional engine designs. Importantly, LTC systems achieve …

Design and Fabrication of Pedal Operated Air Compressor
Abstract: The first idea for powering the pump would be a stationary bicycle. Pedal power is simple, efficient, and practical. Its most familiar use is the bicycle for personal or cargo transportation. But pedals can also power small stationary machines. Since the system is to remain human powered and large amounts of power are required, having the operator use their stronger leg muscles was intuitive. A stationary pedal driven device seemed …

Implementing Water Management, Monitoring and Control System Through IoT
Abstract: Water supply in many cities of India is irregular with limited water and resources, limited instrumentation, improper operation of the system and poor network maintenance. To monitor and control these features, sensors should be placed in appropriate locations, and manual valves should be automated and communication between the devices must be enabled. This method explains Internet of Things (IoT) using sensors with low power. Monitoring of real-time water supply with …

Nanocrystalline Silicon Carbide for Implants
Abstract: Nanocrystalline silicon carbide (SiC) is a wannabe material for artificial heart valves fundamentally because of its low weight, high quality, intense hardness, wear resistance, latency (SiC does not respond with organic liquids), and disintegration resistance. Oxide clay materials, for example, alumina (Al2O3) and zirconia (ZrO2) are regularly utilized for restorative applications like inserts and prostheses due to their breathtaking biocompatibility and high wear resistance. Sadly, oxide earthenware production can't be …
