Conventional radiographic technique uses visual inspection of scanned output for defect detection. This makes the inline testing of products time consuming and hectic. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm in machine learning can be used for the automation of defect detection in radiography thereby reducing human intervention and associated delays. By the use of robotics the welding parameters can be adjusted and the issue of welding defects can be resolved. By combining the two, the defect detection process can be modified into a digital manufacturing process. A dataset created from radiography test data is used for training the algorithm and for writing a program to train this dataset which can be used for defect detection and its characterization.

In the current scenario of space propulsion, liquid propellants have significantly proved useful in the upper stage rocket engines. Over the past couple decades, the world had inclined positively towards cryogenic fuel(s) viz., liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen due to their high specific impulse. A higher specific impulse implies lower duration to achieve design cruise velocity for a given rocket initial and instantaneous mass. Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel and oxidizer can generate one of the highest enthalpy release in combustion, producing a specific impulse of up to 450 seconds at an effective exhaust velocity of 4.4 kilometres per second. Whereas, selected disadvantages are encountered in the form of storage and production. This indicates overdependence on cryogenic propellants and has necessitated the active research effort for better alternatives. As an interesting alternative, the combination of Dinitrogen Tetroxide (N2O4) and Monomethyl Hydrazine (MMH) have been used for many space applications owing to an extreme storage stability and hypergolic nature. Present study aims to express the effect of hydrogen-based compounds on the rocket performance. Four distinctive compounds from two groups of hydrogen-based compounds are tested with the varying oxidizer and fuel proportions to obtain a new, cost-effective and user-friendly composition that can be prepared at room temperature. The investigation attempt and explains the effect of hydrogen based energetic propellants using N2O4 and MMH as the base composition for upper stage performance. The work is motivated by the need of efficient space operations with attractive propulsive alternatives to minimize over-dependence on cryogenics, which will ultimately result in cost effectiveness. Various energetic materials were tested with the base composition by using standard NASA-CEA complex chemical equilibrium model. The performance was evaluated in terms of variation in specific impulse and characteristic velocity both of which are significant parameters. To, validate the practical utility, the role of chamber pressure, supersonic area ratio and optimal Oxidizer to fuel ratio (O/F) was determined. The work led to two interesting findings, a composition of beryllium hydride with base composition for high performance of rockets and the negative impact of hydrogen on liquid propellants.

Analysis of thermo hydraulic characteristics in a simple configuration of the double-pipe heat exchangers adds a great value to the design of heat exchangers. This paper presents a comparison of the experimental observations and numerical predictions for the thermal characteristics of the double pipe heat exchanger. A CAD design was developed and the Realizable k-ε mathematical model coupled with enhanced wall treatment gave the closest results. Experiments were performed for 60 ≤ Re ≤ 240 for two different inlet temperatures of the hot fluid, 50°C, and 70°C keeping the inlet temperature of the cold fluid constant at 31°C. Temperature gradients extracted from ANSYS Fluent were compared with the experimental data. Further, pressure and temperature contours for the hot and cold streams were generated to analyze the performance parameters.

Initially, all manufacturing industries had a separate logistics department of their own for the movement of their produced goods and services. This added to the complexity and cost to the industries since they had to maintain a huge workforce for the process. Thus, companies started hiring third parties for logistics purposes, these third parties are known as Third Party Logistics (TPL) or 3PLs. Nowadays every company employs TPLs for service to carry out shipments thus focussing on their core area of development than logistics. These 3PL firms face certain challenges globally in delivering services to their customers. The paper aims to have a systematic review of the challenges faced globally by 3PLs. The paper gathers information from many pieces of literature on three important challenges namely minimizing the lead time, adapting to the Industrial Dynamics, and adapting to the advancement in technologies. The review will be helpful for future scholars in listing the challenges faced by these industries globally.

Working in the nuclear medicine department leads to a possibility of long term low level radiations exposure. Imaging technologies like positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon computer tomography (SPECT) requires radiopharmaceuticals to be administered into the patients. There is radiation exposure to the staff especially when they dispense the required radioactive medicine doses with their hands into the syringes from the source vial. Also, during the process there is a possibility of spillage of the radioactive pharmaceuticals which could lead to radioactive contamination. This project aims at automating the steps involved in dispensing the unit doses into the respective syringes from the source vial and placing it in a lead shielded container. This will be achieved by developing a robotic application to carry out the activities. This will reduce the time for which the nuclear medicine staffs is exposed to the radioactive syringe. The only time when he will be exposed will be when it is injected into the patients.

Double pipe heat exchangers have assumed importance over the years owing to their simple construction, ease of maintenance and cleaning, and extensive use in applications involving sensible heating or cooling of process fluids. In this present study, a detailed comparison is made between the theoretical results and experimental data of the performance parameters of the heat exchanger. Experiments were performed for 60 ≤ Re ≤ 240 for two different inlet temperatures of the hot fluid, 50°C, and 70°C keeping the inlet temperature of the cold fluid constant at 31°C. Graphs were plotted between various performance parameters such as overall heat transfer coefficient, effectiveness, NTU, outlet temperatures of the hot and cold streams against mass flow rates of the fluid. Lastly, a comparison was done between the theoretical data and experimental results and they showed good accordance with a mean deviation of 10-12%.

Robotics is a machine which is supported by the Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems. This is basically run with the programmable computer which is run and does the performance and activities automatically. The robotics systems can be done with the integrated systems built inside or it may be done by the external controlling mechanism. It is not mandatory that a robot always looks like a human being. It could be of any form and designing or shape, however, the things in robotics is that it is operated automatically. Robots are applicable in diverse areas and sectors and among these important are include healthcare, business, agriculture, transportation, manufacturing etc. As far as agriculture is concerned, Robotics is very much associated with the various pre and postproduction of agriculture and similar sectors. Initially in harvesting only the robotics were used but currently, there are more concerns where robotics can be applicable viz. drone for the weed controlling, plant seeding, environmental assessing and monitoring, soil mapping and analysis, etc. Initially, only basic Information Technology tools were common in agricultural practices but in recent past, many technologies are using in agriculture and among these important are Cloud Computing, Big Data, HCI, Usability Engineering, Robotics and AI, etc. According to the market analysis companies the growth of the robotics is very increasing and will touch the high very soon. This paper talks about the basics of robotics including a special focus on agriculture. Paper also highlighted the areas of applications with the concern of issues and challenges in brief.
