Based 3D printing has become very popular in recent years due to the emergence of projects for low-cost machines, making the technology very accessible. In view of this, some polymers, in general, in thermoplastic filaments, are placed on the market for application in this type of printing technique, making it increasingly necessary to develop research for the characterization of materials to provide information on physical, thermal and mechanical properties. For the development of this work, the polymer poly(ethylene glycol terephthalate) (PETG) was used for a comparative study in relation to poly(lactic acid) (PLA). PETG is obtained by adding modified glycol to the material composition during the polymerization process. It consists of a polymer with a glass transition temperature close to 80°C, with mechanical properties similar to those of PET, with the advantages of notable tenacity, flexibility, and high processing capacity, and PLA is a polymer synthesized from corn sugar, potatoes, and sugar cane, through bioconversion and polymerization. PLA presents biocompatibility, biodegradability, and biological absorption, presenting good mechanical properties, processability, thermal stability and low environmental impact. Mechanical tests of compressive strength and flexural strength were carried out. In the compressive strength test, the specimen with 100% filling presented a deformation 76% greater than the specimen with 50% filling. This can be attributed to the mechanical property of the PETG polymer, as it is very ductile, thus facilitating the processability of this artifact. The mechanical flexural strength tests carried out with the PLA polymer with the highest filling percentages (100% and 50%) showed less deformation until failure, characterizing them as more ductile materials. On the other hand, specimens with 30% filling showed ~215% greater deformation than specimens with 100% filling. With this, it can be seen that PLA has greater flexibility and tenacity for fillings of low percentages, due to the internal spacing absorbing the impact of loads. The PLA polymer showed better mechanical properties, such as Young's modulus, ductility and more satisfactory resistance when compared to the PETG polymer. As well as the synthesis of PLA, it characterizes the process in a more sustainable way, as it is a biopolymer, in addition to its excellent processability.

After treating industrial wastewater efficiently and adequately to avoid harm from it being reused and disposed of in the past, the majority of countries in the world have moved to integrated planning and sound management to reuse it. The efficiency of water treatment and reuse depends on a set of environmental standards and controls that are connected to the nature of this water and the eventual purpose of treating and reusing it in order to prevent the environmental repercussions of an integrated method. A framework that assures environmental protection must be employed for this treatment and reuse. The emphasis is on developing reusable resources in order to transition from a linear to a circular economy. Finding the primary pathway for heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis to pollutant degradation, optimizing the layout for integrating Fenton processes into large-scale treatment plants, particularly its coupling with biological treatment, and analyzing or enhancing heterogeneous catalyst lifetime are all important. are some of the main challenges mentioned in this research. This study intends to analyze the efficacy of the Fenton process in treating water in an effective and economical way compared to other conventional techniques.

The conventional milling process is difficult due to the high strength and hardness of Cr12MoV, which can cause the rapid tool wear, premature failure,and poor milling quality of work platform. The ultrasonic vibration machining technology has been founded to be effective in the milling process of hard-to-cut materials like die tool steel and nickel alloys. The ultrasonic vibration assisted milling (UVM) technology is carried out the axial milling of Cr12MoV in this paper, and the average impact force F i is influenced by the vibration amplitude A , the vibration frequency f , and equivalent mass of the vibrating part M . The mean value of cutting force F x , F y , and F z decreases by 25%, 15.04%, and 17.46%, respectively. With the increase of vibration amplitudes, the value of surface roughness firstly decrease and then increase, and it is obviously lower than conventional milling. The experimental results demonstrated that the UVM technology is a feasible method for the low cutting force and high quality process of cutting Cr12MoV.

The construction industry is really concerned with producing better and durable building materials. Hence, the high cost of conventional building materials have resulted into use of locally available materials. This study assess the effect of varying cement content on engineering properties of fired lateritic bricks. The lateritic soil samples were stabilized with cement at 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7 and 7.5%, cast in moulds and later fired for 8 hours at a 1000°C. Index properties (natural moisture content, specific gravity, particle size distribution and atterberg limit tests) were determined on the natural lateritic soil. While compressive strength, water absorption, abrasion and impact value test were determined on the cement fired bricks. The lateritic soil in its natural form were classified as A-6 and clay of high compressibility in accordance to ASTM D-3282. The results of the index properties are within acceptable limits for lateritic soil. The effect of varying cement content on the mechanical properties showed that the compressive strength of the bricks increases from 4.0 N/mm 2 at control (un-stabilized brick) to 7.3 N/mm 2 at 5% soil stabilization with cement. However, significant reductions in value was witnessed in the water absorption, abrasion and impact value results between the un-stabilized brick (control) and 5% cement fired bricks. The study concluded that fired bricks stabilized with 5% cement was found to be the best and most suitable for load and non-load bearing walls.

The front opening unified pod (FOUP) is a packing box for contamination control for semiconductor wafer transport. As the wafer fabrication process developes towards nanoor atom level, the semiconductor wafer storage device should advance from the particle prevention function into the airborne molecular contamination (AMC) removal function. Therefore, it is necessary to design/redesign a function for removing AMC or moisture inside the FOUP. This study used the design of leading diffuser tubes in the FOUP and pores in the surfaces of diffuser tubes to generate gas diffusion. This is to achieve a uniform distribution of the wafer surface velocity field and a uniform dehumidification function of the wafer surface. Based on the analysis results, when circular diffuser tubes are introduced in the FOUP and the intake air flow was set at 0.2-0.3 m3/hr, the interlayer wafer surface in the FOUP could achieve uniform distribution of velocity field. As a result, the humidity difference among various zones of wafer surface could be reduced, and the yield and quality of the wafer cutting process could be controlled.

The article analyzes the state of the global problem of the fuel and energy crisis and environmental pollution by the combustion products of hydrocarbon fuels of industrial and transport power plants. To ensure the energy security of the state, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine developed and adopted the «Energy Strategy of Energy Saving of Ukraine for the period until 2030», which was updated in 2008, to protect the country from energy risks. In addition, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the «Concept of a targeted scientific and technical program for the development of the production and use of biological fuels». To increase the efficiency of using alternative motor fuels, as one of the aspects of solving the problem, an original method and results of calculating the thermophysical properties of a wide class of such motor fuels (hydrogen, natural gas, biogas, mine gas, coke, blast furnace and synthesis gas, etc.) are proposed. A description of the developed mathematical model for determining parameters of phase equilibria and thermophysical properties of dense molecular systems (dense gases and liquids) is given. Calculation procedures are based on the thermodynamic theory of disturbances without the involvement of empirical parameters. Features of the proposed method are: limitation of initial information, high accuracy, the possibility of application in any practically important ranges of states. Calculation errors are at the level of traditional experimental errors.

The growth rate of vehicles is increasing in most metropolitan areas, and as a result, traffic congestion is also increasing, particularly at intersections. Traffic congestion is one of the major problems faced by most of the developing countries despite the measures taken to mitigate and reduce it. In order to overcome traffic congestion, especially in four-way intersections with increasing growth rate of vehicles, roundabout design is a popular traffic management solution in urban areas. In most countries, roundabouts have been widely adopted as an alternative to signalized intersections due to their ease of operation with fewer conflict points. In a metropolitan city like Chennai, there are numerous areas facing traffic congestion. This study aims to design a roundabout for a four-armed intersection located at one of the most congested areas in Chennai, India - Porur Junction. It is a four-armed intersection with traffic on all approach roads and controlled by a signalized intersection. The effective solution would be an elevated roundabout bridge by connecting the major roads towards Poonamallee and Guindy with a two lane road and the minor roads towards Kundrathur and Arcot Road with two separate lanes, one for entering and the other for exiting the junction. The efficiency of the elevated roundabout bridge is that it has speed breakers in the entry ramp which slows down the vehicle & has a central island structure which is used to effectively manage the traffic without stopping the vehicles. After passing through the Central Island, vehicles can exit the barrier at a higher speed than the entry speed in a clockwise direction.

This study introduces a novel approach to cable gland design through the utilization of TRIZ tools. A cable gland serves two primary functions: retaining and sealing cables within an enclosure, while also offering secondary features such as earthing and cable protection. The number of components in a gland type is determined by functional requirements. Given its classification as a low-cost, high-volume product, the competitive edge lies in achieving reduced selling costs and simplified installation. Addressing key challenges, which include a high component count (currently nine) and a cumbersome installation process, forms the core focus of this work. The research outlines the TRIZ-guided process and methodology employed to devise inventive solutions to these issues, resulting in a component reduction from nine to four. Moreover, the study encompasses the incorporation of various constraints in the development of efficient cable gland designs, yielding several innovative concepts. The paper also introduces proposed system designs and architectures, established based on TRIZ-derived inventive principles, paving the way for subsequent system prototype development. The work underscores the accelerated problem identification and solution generation facilitated by TRIZ tools. The evolving concept is presently situated within the feasibility and design phase, effectively addressing both primary and secondary challenges through TRIZ methodologies.

This work presents a comparative finite element analysis of a 3-wheeler novel robot chassis used for uneven terrain robot applications. The chassis was modeled using SolidWorks and further analyzed in Ansys for its total deformation, equivalent stress, equivalent elastic strain and thermal strain. Two materials were taken into consideration for comparative analysis: Aluminium alloy and Structural steel. A load (force) of 500 N was distributed on the chassis uniformly and an acceleration of 5 mm/sec 2 was given. Thermal conditions were added by raising the temperature from 22°C to 50°C in 1 sec. The analysis performed was majorly divided into three parts: a) Only considering force, b) Considering force as well as acceleration, c) Considering force, acceleration and thermal conditions. Total deformation in Aluminium alloy was observed 1.51 to 2.79 times that of structural steel in all the cases. Both metals exhibited almost identical equivalent stress in absence of thermal effect and structural steel exhibit 1.5 times that of Aluminium alloy at elevated temperature. Aluminium alloy possess relatively more (1.86-2.63 times) equivalent elastic strain compared to structural steel. Although, distribution of thermal strain remained constant throughout the chassis for both the materials, its magnitude was 1.91 times high in Aluminium alloy. This type of analysis helps in evaluating the current design and decide whether it will sustain the required load and acceleration under given thermal conditions
