Study of Seismic Forces by Changing the Location of Lift Core

By Shashwati Sanjay Vahadane

Abstract: An important element for strengthening of structure is lift core in earthquake prone area (Mw=6.5 or more). Major content in this paper is use of lift cores to resist the seismic forces and its effect by changing the lift core location. The study for G+5 and G+10 type frame buildings are taken under study. These buildings are further subdivided as per strata type. Centre core and Corner core are locations …

Thermal Modeling and Optimization of Irreversible Cogeneration Power Plant

By Dr. Harishankar Chandra, Rupinder Singh Johal, N. Gautam, P. Rai, M. Dubey

Abstract: This paper aims at studying the cogeneration system coupled with outer heat reservoir of finite heat capacity and comprises of both external as well as internal irreversibility. External irreversibility is due to the finite-rate heat transfer between the working fluid and heat reservoirs while internal irreversibility is due to heat dissipation of working fluid. Both types of irreversibility are involved in the study on introducing an internal irreversible parameter which …

Analysis of Six Stroke in an Internal Combustion Engine

By Tridib Kumar Mahata, Debashree De

Abstract: In the present time, increasing use of auto-vehicles requires more need of fuel and eventually it produces more emissions. But fuel and natural resources are limited in amount. So the aim is to reduce the emissions and fuel consumption in the engines. In that case, six-stroke engine is the great solution. Six-stroke engine is the modified form of four stroke engine. It contains two additional strokes (power stroke by air, …

Turbocharging of Spark Ignited Wankel engine for High Altitude Application Using 1-D Simulation Approach

By H. Thirumal Valavan, Suryanarayana Challa, Gaurav S Panchal, D. Radhakrishna

Abstract: Wankel engines are increasingly finding their application in unmanned aerial vehicles, especially where high power-to-weight ratio is of utmost importance. This advantage makes the Wankel engines outperform the reciprocating engines despite several shortfalls. 1-D simulation model of the Wankel engine has been constructed from commercially available software for reciprocating piston engines. This model was then used to study the matching of turbocharger for the required application and the effect of …

Botulinum toxin: cosmetic purposes

By Peenal Raj

Abstract: Botulinum toxins are used for curing skin problems and for cosmetic purposes. These are generally called as BTX. It had been used earlier for reducing certain muscle activities which were responsible for aging symptoms. Dr. Alan Scott had started his research in the BTX about 40 years ago. BTX has so many types like A, B, E and F but the type used for cosmetic treatment is type A. BTX …

Technological options for the treatment of pulp and paper waste water

By Akshey Bhargava

Abstract: Waste-water treatment is becoming even more important in the light of diminishing water resources, increasing industrial, domestic and agriculture water usage and consequently waste-water disposal and its costs along with stricter discharge regulations that have lowered permissible contaminant levels in waste streams. The treatment of waste-water for reuse and disposal is particularly important for water scarce states like Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and other states in India where water availability is highly …
