Queuing theory is the mathematics of waiting lines. It is extremely useful in predicting and evaluating system performance. Queuing theory has been used for operations research, manufacturing and systems analysis The common problem arises in almost every famous dhaba is that they lose their customers due to a long wait on the line. Some dhaba provide extra chair for the customer to wait. But after waiting too long they leave. However, waiting chairs alone would not solve a problem when customers withdraw and go to the next dhaba. This causes a lot of loss to our dhaba. This shows a need of a numerical model for the restaurant management to understand the situation better. This paper aims to show that queuing theory satisfies the model when tested with a real-case scenario. Authors obtained the data from a “Gulshan Dhaba” in Hodal, Haryana. in order to derive the arrival rate, service rate, utilization rate, waiting time in queue and the probability of potential customers to balk. The collected data is analysed by using Little’s Theorem and M/M/1 queuing model. The arrival rate at “Gulshan Dhaba”, Hodal during its busiest period of the day is 2 customers per minute (cpm) while the service rate is 2.02 cpm during our study period. The average number of customers in the restaurant is 100 and the utilization period is 0.99.

Ankle-Foot-Orthoses (AFOs) are assistive devices used for neurological and physical disorders affecting the movement of the lower limbs. The needs of an increasingly young and active orthotic patient population have led to advancements in ankle foot orthosis (AFO) design and materials to enable higher function. Proper selection of material for manufacturing of AFO leads to greater increase in popularity to patients during walking providing better and compatible ankle foot orthotic device for patient specific. The purpose of this study is to develop design guide to find out the structural characteristics of polypropylene of AFO. In this research work, design and static analysis of a passive AFO to fit a human foot is presented. The static analysis was carried out for AFO made up of Polypropylene material with thicknesses 4 mm. Based on the results obtained from the static analysis. The results obtained from the static analysis showed that the polypropylene AFO was performing better results, generating less stress, deformation, and good factor of safety.

The agitator bearing and shaft bending due to foreign materials is reduced by using stuffing box in the agitator between bearing unit and impeller. The foreign materials in the bagasse wet washing are collected by using SS Pivot Needles/Bars in the wet washing system. The vibrations which cause damage (cracks) in the pump pipe line are reduced by using rubber bellow between the pump and delivery pipeline. The rubber bellow absorbs the vibration and deflections due to vibration which protects the pump and pipeline from damages. Earlier the foreign materials were struck up in the pump impeller. These foreign materials were removed by dismantling the entire pump set up. In the current work, the design of suction line was altered by introducing an inspection dummy. At the end of the suction line, through the new design the foreign materials were moved off from the pump impeller easily by removing the inspection dummy instead of dismantling the entire pump set up. Through the new design, the efficiency of the wet washing plant is increased upto 55%. Further, the downtime of wet washing plant also reduced and availability of equipment is increased.

This study deals with the damage behavior of metallic materials by the application of different manufacturing processes and using different optical measurement methods to identify the crack initiation in the damage specimen. The study is intended to highlight the importance of considering manufacturing processes and optical measurement methods in a numerical simulation when analyzing the damage behavior of metallic materials. To describe the damage behavior of the material in the process chain simulations, it is important to calibrate the parameters of damage model more accurately. These parameters are determined using experimental investigation of desired damage specimens. In this regard, a selected damage specimen manufactured by different cutting processes is first experimentally and then numerically investigated. It is shown that the manufacturing process and the optical measurement methods influence the stress state analyzed in the numerical simulation.

Copper-aluminium composite heat dissipation components have both the high thermal conductivity of copper and the low density of aluminium. Copper and aluminium are dissimilar materials as they have significant differences in physical and chemical properties, and hence it is not easy to weld them together. In this paper, the joining of copper to aluminium is studied by using the ultrasonic brazing technique. The results show that the copper and aluminium can be connected by ultrasonic brazing, and it is found that the bonding of the copper side interface is the weak link of the entire joint, but the joint strength can still reach 95MPa.

Annealed pyrolytic graphite (APG) is a material with thermal conductivity of about 1500 W/(m·K). This property may enable the usage of APG’s thermal potential to develop highly thermally conductive composites for devices requiring effective thermal management. In this paper, APG has been encapsulated in aluminum by brazing, and the thermal properties of Al-APG composite baseplates were measured. The results show that the thermal conductivity of the Al-APG composite baseplates is about 620 W/(m·K), which is four times higher than the pure aluminum plate (152 W/(m·K)).

To sustain a healthy society, hospitals play a vital role and are considered a significant player in maintaining the happiness of the people in every nation. In this paper, an attempt has been made to highlight the importance of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) in the health care industry. QFD is a technique adopted and implemented in various industries. The primary purpose is to translate customer voice into technical language. The components of the House of Quality matrix are briefed, which can be easily understood and follow. The practicality of each component has to be studied. The implementation approach is suggested, and the outcome can be visualized as continuous improvement in customer satisfaction. The decision-makers get a clear awareness about their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT). A clear understanding of the technical correlations help the top-level managers to implement QFD in a smooth manner

Experimentally to analyzed the enhance performance of Plate heat exchanger in milk pasteurization process using nanofluid at different concentration of 0.1%,0.15%,0.2% 0.25% and 0.3%. in this work the nanoparticles like Al2O3 and the base fluid like dematerialized water is used to prepare nanofluid by using two steps method. Exchanger is one of the thermal energy transferring devices, which transfer the heat between different fluids. This is widely used in different application because of its compact in size and higher efficiency compared to other type of heat exchanger. The main focus of using nanofluid is that it has improvement in thermal conductivity. Then the hot fluid as milk and cold fluid as nanofluids are used. The heat transfer rate is increased with increasing the concentration of nanofluid. It conducted by varying operating parameters like mass flow rate of hot milk, mass flow rate of nanofluid, inlet and outlet temperatures of hot milk and inlet outlet temperature of nanofluid.

Composites Materials- Aircraft, Ship, Automobile. Their most attractive properties are the high strength-to-weight ratio. Polymer composites are used because overall properties of the composites are superior to those of the individual polymers. The natural bio-resin are prepared from neem and Thennamarakudi oil with the concept of polyester resin. The reinforcement is screw pine fibre and fish scale fibre. The aim of this experimental study has targeted to investigate the vibration damping, sound absorption and moisture absorption of reinforced polyester resin polymer composites. The specimen fabricated are naturally bio-degradable and eco-friendly to environment because the resin and fibre are natural ingredients. Mainly to avoid all types of pollution. The laminated specimens were fabricate using hand lay-up technique and the specimens are subjected to the investigated as per the ASTM standards. The Moisture absorption test, Vibration test, Acoustics test were carried out on the laminated specimen to determine their properties.
