Torque, also called moment or moment of force, is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum or pivot. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist. In an electrical sense, torque makes the coil in a DC motor rotate due to the application of a force via the motor effect.

“Refrigerant is the media (fluid) used for heat transfer in a refrigerating system that absorbs heat during evaporation from the region of low temperature and pressure, and releases heat during condensation at a region of higher temperature and pressure.”
Jet propulsion means the propulsion or movement of the bodies such as ships, aircrafts, rocket etc. with the help of jet.
It is well known from Newton’s Law that to change momentum of fluid, a force is required. Similarly, when momentum of fluid is changed, a force is generated. This principle is made use in hydraulic turbine.
A steam turbine is a prime mover in which the potential energy of the steam is transformed into kinetic energy and later in its turn is transformed into the mechanical energy of rotation of the turbine shaft
Sales Forecasting
Sales forecasting is the process of a company predicting what its future sales will be. This forecast is done for a particular period of time in the near future, usually the next fiscal year. Accurate sales forecasting enables a company to make informed business decisions. Sales forecasting is easier for established companies that have been operating for a few years than for newer companies. Established companies have years of sales records and can base their forecasts on that past sales data. Newly founded companies have to base their forecasts on less verified information, such as market research and competition analysis to forecast their future business.
Why is Sales Forecasting important?
Sales Forecasting gives insight on whether a company should expand, information about cash flow, and the ability to effectively manage its resources. Without forecasting, a company would be unsure of what inventory level to maintain, unsure on how it should allocate resources across the company, and it would have a hard time predicting future success. Forecasting sales is a crucial business practice, because in addition to helping a company allocate its internal resources effectively, having this data is important for acquiring investment capital. Often, investors want to know what a company’s future expected sales are before making an investment.
Energy generated by using wind, tides, solar, geothermal heat, and biomass including farm and animal waste is known as non-conventional energy. All these sources are renewable or inexhaustible and do not cause environmental pollution. More over they do not require heavy expenditure.
Natural resources that can be replaced and reused by nature are termed renewable. Natural resources that cannot be replaced are termed nonrenewable.
Renewable resources are replaced through natural processes at a rate that is equal to or greater than the rate at which they are used, and depletion is usually not a worry.
Nonrenewable resources are exhaustible and are extracted faster than the rate at which they formed. E.g. Fossil Fuels (coal, oil, natural gas).

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10

accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

2. Introduction• The various forces acts on the
reciprocating parts of an
engine.
• The resultant of all the forces
acting on the body of the
engine due to inertia forces
only is known as unbalanced
force or shaking force.
Let
FR = Force required to accelerate
the reciprocating parts,
FI =Inertia force due reciprocating
parts,
FN=Force on the sides of the
cylinder walls or normal force
acting on the cross-head
guides, and
FB=Force acting on the crankshaft
bearing or main bearing.
3. • Since FR and FI are equal in magnitude
but opposite in direction, therefore they
balance each other.
• The horizontal component of FB (i.e.
FBH) acting along the line of
reciprocation is also equal and opposite
to FI.
• This force FBH = FU is an unbalanced force
or shaking force and required to be
properly balanced.
• The effect of the reciprocating parts is to
produce a shaking force and a shaking
couple.
• Since the shaking force and a shaking
couple vary in magnitude and direction
during the engine cycle, therefore they
cause very objectionable vibrations.

m = Mass of the reciprocating parts,
l = Length of the connecting rod PC,
r = Radius of the crank OC,
θ = Angle of inclination of the crank with the line of

ω = Angular speed of the crank,
n = Ratio of length of the connecting rod to the

7. Partial Balancing of Unbalanced Primary Force in a
Reciprocating Engine
The primary force acts from O to P along the line of stroke. Hence, balancing of primary force
is considered as equivalent to the balancing of mass m rotating at the crank radius r. This is
balanced by having a mass B at a radius b, placed diametrically opposite to the crank pin C.
The primary unbalanced force may be considered as the component of the centrifugal force
produced by a rotating mass m placed at the crank radius r.
8. The centrifugal force produced due to the revolving mass B, has also a vertical
component (perpendicular to the line of stroke) of magnitude This
force remains unbalanced. The maximum value of this force is equal to
when is 90° and 270°, which is same as the maximum value of the primary
force.

From the above discussion, we see that in the first case, the primary unbalanced
force acts along the line of stroke whereas in the second case, the unbalanced
force acts along the perpendicular to the line of stroke.
The maximum value of the force remains same in both the cases. It is thus
obvious, that the effect of the above method of balancing is to change the
direction of the maximum unbalanced force from the line of stroke to the
perpendicular of line of stroke.
As a compromise let a fraction ‘c’ of the reciprocating masses is balanced, such
that
11. Effect of Partial Balancing of Reciprocating Parts of
Two Cylinder Locomotives
The effect of an unbalanced primary force along the line of stroke is to produce;
1. Variation in tractive force along the line of stroke
2. Swaying couple.
3. Hammer blow
1. Variation of Tractive Force
The resultant unbalanced force due to the two cylinders, along the line of stroke, is known as
tractive force, Let the crank for the first cylinder be inclined at an angle θ with the line of stroke
Since the crank for the second cylinder is at right angle to the first crank, therefore the angle of
inclination for the second crank will be (90° + θ ).
12.
13. 2. Swaying Couple
The unbalanced forces along the line of stroke for the
two cylinders constitute a couple about the centre line
YY between the cylinders
This couple has swaying effect about a vertical axis,
and tends to sway the engine alternately in clockwise
and anticlockwise directions. Hence the couple is
known as swaying couple.
Let a = Distance between the centre lines of the two
cylinders.
∴ Swaying couple
The swaying couple is maximum or minimum when (cosθ + sin θ) is maximum or minimum.
For (cosθ + sin θ) to be maximum or minimum,

15. 3. Hammer Blow
The maximum magnitude of the unbalanced force along the perpendicular to
the line of stroke is known as hammer blow.
We know that the unbalanced force along the perpendicular to the line of stroke due to
the balancing mass B, at a radius b, in order to balance reciprocating parts only is
.This force will be maximum when sin θ is unity, i.e. when = 90° or 270°.2

16. Numerical
An inside cylinder locomotive has its cylinder centre lines 0.7 m apart and has a
stroke of 0.6 m. The rotating masses per cylinder are equivalent to 150 kg at the
crank pin, and the reciprocating masses per cylinder to 180 kg. The wheel centre
lines are 1.5 m apart. The cranks are at right angles. The whole of the rotating
and 2/3 of the reciprocating masses are to be balanced by masses placed at a
radius of 0.6 m. Find the magnitude and direction of the balancing masses. Find
the fluctuation in rail pressure under one wheel, variation of tractive effort and

22. Balancing of Radial Engines (Direct and Reverse Cranks
Method )
The method of direct and reverse cranks is used in balancing of radial or V-engines, in
which the connecting rods are connected to a common crank. Since the plane of
rotation of the various cranks (in radial or V-engines) is same, therefore there is no
unbalanced primary or secondary couple.
Consider a reciprocating engine mechanism as shown
Let the crank OC (known as the direct crank) rotates uniformly at ω radians per second in a
clockwise direction. Let at any instant the crank makes an angle θ with the line of stroke OP.
The indirect or reverse crank OC′ is the image of the direct crank OC, when seen through the mirror
placed at the line of stroke. A little consideration will show that when the direct crank revolves in a
clockwise direction, the reverse crank will revolve in the anticlockwise direction. We shall now
discuss the primary and secondary forces due to the mass (m) of the reciprocating parts at P.
23. 1. Considering the primary forces
• Let us suppose that the mass (m) of the reciprocating parts is divided into two parts,
each equal to m / 2.
• It is assumed that m / 2 is fixed at the direct crank (termed as primary direct crank) pin
C and m / 2 at the reverse crank (termed as primary reverse crank) pin C′.
We know that the centrifugal force acting on the primary direct and reverse crank=
∴ Component of the centrifugal force acting on the primary direct crank

Hence, for primary effects the mass m of the reciprocating parts at P may be
replaced by two masses at C and C′ each of magnitude m/2.
2. Considering secondary forces
We know that the secondary force
It will be seen that for the secondary effects, the mass (m) of the reciprocating parts
may be replaced by two masses (each m/2) placed at D and D′ such that OD = OD′ =
r/4n. The crank OD is the secondary direct crank and rotates at 2ω rad/s in the
clockwise direction, while the crank OD′ is the secondary reverse crank and rotates at
2ω rad/s in the anticlockwise direction.

25. Let the common crank be along the inner dead centre of
cylinder 1. Since common crank rotates clockwise, therefore
θ is positive when measured clockwise.
Maximum primary force acting on the frame of the
compressor
1. Since θ = 0° for cylinder 1, therefore both the
primary direct and reverse cranks will coincide with
the common crank.
2. Since θ = ±120° for cylinder 2, therefore the
primary direct crank is 120° clockwise and the
primary reverse crank is 120° anti-clockwise
from the line of stroke of cylinder 2.
3. Since θ = ± 240° for cylinder 3, therefore the
primary direct crank is 240° clockwise and the
primary reverse crank is 240° anti-clockwise from the
line of stroke of cylinder 3.
26. • From Fig. (b), we see that the primary reverse cranks form a balanced system. Therefore
there is no unbalanced primary force due to the reverse cranks. From Fig. (a), we see
that the resultant primary force is equivalent to the centrifugal force of a mass 3 m/2
attached to the end of the crank.
27. Maximum secondary force acting on the frame of the compressor
1. Since θ = 0° and 2 θ = 0° for cylinder 1, therefore both the secondary direct and reverse
cranks will coincide with the common crank.
2. Since θ = ±120° and 2 θ = ± 240° for cylinder 2, therefore the secondary direct crank is
240° clockwise and the secondary reverse crank is 240° anticlockwise from the line of
stroke of cylinder 2.
3. Since θ = ± 240° and 2 θ = ± 480°, therefore the secondary direct crank is 480° or 120°
clockwise and the secondary reverse crank is 480° or 120° anti-clockwise from the line of
stroke of cylinder 3.
28. From Fig (a), we see that the secondary direct cranks form a balanced system.
Therefore there is no unbalanced secondary force due to the direct cranks. From
Fig. (b),
we see that the resultant secondary force is equivalent to the centrifugal force of a
mass 3 m/2 attached at a crank radius of r/4n and rotating at a speed of 2ω rad/s
in the opposite direction to the crank.
