A helmet is a kind of safety gear, which is used by many motorists around the world. It protects the head from the impacts during accidents. According to a survey, many people nearly half die due to the time lag in the treatment that is provided to them after the accident. The reason behind this delay may be due to lack of passage of information, traffic issues etc. It came up with this idea of giving the information about accident as soon as possible and in time. Death due to road accidents can be minimized, if treatment is provided at proper time. The major problem is the lack of passage of information regarding the accidents. Because after all, time matters a lot, if everything is done in time, at least we can half the lives that are lost due to the bike accidents. This work aims in passing the information regarding the accidents and the exact location to the relatives of the victim and also to the nearby hospitals with the aid of GPS and IoT. The system also consists of voice module to control the visor, turn indication, headlights, horn, and also the ignition system, the user is given much more options to control the vehicle rather than getting deviated from driving. Since the user uses voice controls to do the activities, he/she will stay awake throughout the ride.

Solenoid operated gear shifting mechanism is mainly designed for the handicapped persons who unable to shift the gears by their foot. The technique used in this gear shifting mechanism consists of solenoid. Solenoid completes one up and down motion called as one stroke. This stroke time depend on supplied voltage and current. According to stroke length and voltage calculation, solenoids are mounted on both sides of gear shifting pedal at ends. By pressing that switch, person easily shifts the gear with the help of foot which is most efficient to handicapped persons.

Heat exchanger is a device which transfers heat from one fluid to another fluid. For the improvement in performance of heat exchangers, several heat enhancement techniques have been successfully implemented. These techniques are active, passive and combined techniques. In the active techniques, some external forces, e.g. electric field, acoustic or surface vibration etc. require for heat transfer enhancement. Whereas in the passive techniques, fluid additives or special surface geometries require for heat transfer enhancement. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) effect can be used to enhance heat transfer rate between two fluids. In this paper, the effect of electrical body force on the performance of double pipe heat exchanger is studied.

The mechanical properties of composites are mainly depends on the distribution of reinforced particles into the matrix material. The distribution of particles plays a very important role while manufacturing the composite. To achieve good mechanical properties, uniform distribution of reinforcement into the matrix is very important, present review reveals one of the manufacturing methods to achieve uniform distribution of particle and to investigate the mechanical properties. There are several types of manufacturing methods are there for the composites, Powder metallurgy is one of the method to manufacture the composites, uniform mixing of particles can achieved by this technique and also the porosity is decreased in this technique but comparatively costlier than the stir casting technique. The present study also reveals a study on different mechanical & tribological characteristics of aluminum metal matrix composite reinforced with different material like silicon carbide, boron carbide, fly ash, tungsten carbide etc. manufactured by powder metallurgy technique.

Springs are inevitable part in many mechanical systems. Currently spring stiffness measurement is carried out mostly using some mechanical devices with hydraulic systems and analog measuring instruments. But these systems are much more costly for smaller industries. This paper presents a work of designing and fabrication of a small scale spring stiffness measuring machine. Here load application is done by conventional method, i.e. using hydraulic system. Use of sound sensors instead of scales and gauges makes it more compact and less expensive than any other apparatus. Additionally, using electronic components make this system flexible for more add-ons and gives better user interface. All the components used for this system are available in low cost. At the end, the results of measurement of stiffness by using machine and by theoretical method are compared.

Erosion and hot corrosion in coal fired boiler at elevated temperature is the primary reason behind downtime in power generating plants. In the present study an attempt has been made to study the basic concept of erosion, types, mechanism and tribological parameters that affect erosion wear. In addition, types and stages of hot corrosion have been discussed in brief with an emphasis on different protective methods for erosion such as use of super alloy, inhibitor, protective coating and hard facing. The distinct investigations have been carried to overcome the erosion and hot corrosion problems and found that erosion resistant coating and hard facing are effective way to resist degradations of erosion-corrosion (E-C) in a coal fired boiler.

This paper presents an experimental effort on forced convection mixed mode solar dryer for turmeric at Miraj, India (16.83°N 74.63°E). To study the effect of drying time on mixed mode type forced convection solar dryer, 15kg of good quality of boiled turmeric are loaded. It has been experimentally analyzed that drying time can be reduced up to 7 days as compared to a conventional method which requires 13 – 15 days. The experiment was conducted in February month in Miraj, Maharashtra having incident solar radiation and wind speed 5.12 W/m2/day and 5 km/hr respectively. The drying experiment conducted with turmeric and it was found that the complete drying process could be attained with 47 hours (considering sunshine hr.) The effect of different air mass flow rate on moisture content, moisture ratio, drying rate, drying time and dryer efficiency has been evaluated for turmeric.

There are many ways to transfer heat from one medium to another medium efficiently. Heat dissipation is an important issue to tackle due to compacting of equipment and miniaturization. Heat exchangers are not only chosen for their thermal better performance but also for their other design parameters such as weight, cost, ease of handling etc. This paper briefly focuses on the study of continuous and staggered fin arrays.

Quality of product and process are mainly depends upon their process parameters and their levels selected for design and manufacturing. So, it is important to decide optimal levels of process parameters to get desired output variables. The study focuses on finding out optimal levels of process parameters in Resistance Spot Welding (RSW)and its effect on tensile strength and nugget diameter. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is employed for multi objective optimization of responses for maximizing tensile strength and minimizing nugget diameter. Response optimizer with desirability function is found for optimum results of response surface methodology. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is carried out for analyzing contribution of each process parameter on the performance of RSW.
