CHAPTER 1 : INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION: As we find that many devices used in modern days are based on the power electronics, and power devices are having wide range of the applications. So in some way or other power devices may be used. In many applications there is requirement of converting fixed supply of  D.C … Read more

On 17th July in 1996, a Boeing flight 747 operated as Flight 800 by TWA (Trans World Airlines). Near East Moriches, New York, US, it struck the ocean of Atlantic. All the passengers were killed in that accident. The plane was flying to Paris from New York at the height of around thirteen thousand feet … Read more

Introduction to FACTS The AC transmission system has various limits classified as static limits and dynamic limits. These inherent power system limits restrict the power transaction, which lead to the underutilization of the existing transmission resources. Traditionally, fixed or mechanically switched shunt and series capacitors, reactors and synchronous generators were being used to solve much … Read more

1. Introduction The purpose of this project is to research cooperative robotics and more specifically swarm robotics. Following this, a swarm robotics system will be designed, developed and implemented using swarm intelligence principles to demonstrate the concept of cooperative robotics. 1.1. Inspiration Swarm robotics research has taken inspiration from areas such as amorphous computing, self-assembly … Read more

ABSTRACT In this globalized era, the usage of inductive charging is widely spread. Inductive charging uses the electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects. A charging station sends energy through inductive coupling to an electrical device, which stores the energy in the batteries. Since there is a small gap between the two coils, inductive … Read more

All of today’s industries are currently experiencing many changes. Each is prompted by improvements in emerging markets, sustainability policies, changing consumer preferences around ownership and most importantly the advancements in technology. Digitization, increasing automation and new business models have reformed various industries and the automotive industry is no exception. These factors are bringing about technology … Read more

Describe the preparations to be made prior to loading cargoes  Hold Cleaning Following the discharge of any bulk cargo after a voyage, the holds are to be properly swept before any water washing takes place. This process avoids any prior residue building up and also avoids any contamination, which includes cleaning the hatch coamings, … Read more

Abstract In this experiment, we worked with the famous Michelson interferometer and explored some of its many uses. The first part of the experiment focused predominantly on building the interferometer correctly, in order to observe clear interference patterns that we could take readings from. The second part saw us using these interference patterns to test … Read more

1. Introduction 1.1 Every year thousands die and millions injure themselves from natural disasters such as earthquakes.  About 60000 worldwide deaths in a year occur just from earthquakes – 90% of which are in developing countries. OECD (2008) Costs of Inaction of Environmental Policy Challenges Report ENV/EPOC(2007)17/REV2 In 2008, one such disaster in Sichuan, China … Read more

Abstract The Project is a design approach to demonstrate a vertical and linear rotary motion converted from a falling mass. The design of the mechanism seeks to incorporate a calculative concept on how a coin will be sustainable to move a wooden block by a certain length. However, the problem is in what designs and … Read more

Civil engineering Civil engineering works that involved to the design, construction, and maintenance of the structure. They concentrate on the structures such as the transportation systems, water treatment, government buildings, and public facilities. They work and design safe structures in various locations. And in bridge building, the role of civil engineering is really important. They … Read more

Chapter 1 1.1 Aim and Motivation Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are the ultimate light source in the lighting technology. The LED technology has flourished for the past few decades. High efficiency, reliability, rugged construction, low power consumption, and durability are among the key factors for the rapid development of the solid-state lighting based on high- … Read more

This programme aims to achieve the university’s goal in pursuance of producing all-around excellent graduates … Read more

Abstract Self-consolidating concrete SCC is highly workable concrete that easily flows through congested and complex reinforced concrete formwork filling all the gaps and without any form of segregation. SCC is an attractive alternative to conventional concrete, which requires skilled labor to perform proper consolidation on site, eliminating the need for additional consolidation. Many solutions to … Read more
