Alcohols are important substitutes for gasoline, as their properties are comparable to gasoline. They are renewable in nature. Investigations were carried out to determine exhaust emissions of two stroke and four stroke of single cylinder, spark ignition (SI)engine having copper coated engine [CCE, copper-(thickness, 300 μ) coated on piston crown and inner side of cylinder head] provided with catalytic converter with copper as catalyst with methanol blended gasoline (80% gasoline and 20% methanol by volume) and compared with conventional engine (CE) with neat gasoline operation. Carbon monoxide (CO) and un-burnt hydrocarbons (UBHC) are the exhaust emissions from SI engine. Breathing of these emissions causes human hazards and also they cause environmental disorders. Hence control of these emissions is an urgent task. Exhaust emissions were varied with different values of brake mean effective pressure (BMEP). The engine was provided with catalytic converter with copper as catalyst. There was provision for injection of air into the catalytic converter. CCE showed improvement in the pollutants when compared with CE with both test fuels. Four-Stroke engine decreased exhaust emissions effectively in comparison with two-stroke engine with both versions of the engine.

One of the objectives of car manufacturers is to improve engine performance, reduce consumption and reduce emissions. To achieve this objective, it is important to understand the phenomena involved in the combustion chambers of engines. There are various factors that influence the engine performance such as compression ratio, atomization of fuel, fuel injection pressure, and quality of fuel, combustion rate, air fuel ratio, intake temperature and pressure and also based on piston design, inlet manifold, and combustion chamber designs etc. Geometrical design of intake manifold is one such method for the better performance of an I.C. Engine. Air swirl motion in CI engine influences the atomization and distribution of fuel injected in the combustion chamber. Intake manifolds provides Air motion to the chamber. So, to get the maximum output with the least input on Diesel engine researchers are experimentally and computationally working on construction of the intake manifold configurations for increase in engine performance and reduction of Exhaust Emissions.

CFD Analysis of Exhaust Manifold of SI Engine and Comparison of Back Pressure...IOSRJMCE
Exhaust manifold is one of the most critical components of an IC Engine. The functioning of exhaust manifold is complex and is dependent on many parameters viz. back pressure, exhaust velocity, scavenging etc. In the present work, the performance of a four-stroke four cylinder gasoline engine exhaust manifold have been analysed using three different fuels - gasoline, alcohol, and LPG for the estimation of flow characteristics, thermal characteristics, and minimum back pressure. The manifold modelling is done in Creo2.0 followed by meshing and analysis in ANSYS. The LPG fuel gives minimum back pressure, temperature and velocity being approximately in the same range for all three fuels viz. gasoline, alcohol and LPG. Thus, LPG can be considered as a suitable alternative for gasoline in terms of minimum back flow in manifold.

Key findings from experiments conducted on a single cylinder diesel engine retrofitted to run on diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) include: 1) Brake thermal efficiency is highest at an intermediate LPG flow rate of 0.5kg/hr due to better combustion; 2) EGR reduces brake thermal efficiency and exhaust gas temperature by lowering combustion temperatures; 3) NOx emissions decrease with increased EGR as EGR lowers peak combustion temperatures. Smoke and hydrocarbon emissions increase with EGR due to reduced oxygen.

In this work, an experimental exploration was carried out in order to study the effect of the addition of oxy-hydrogen gas into inlet air manifold on speed performance characteristics of a diesel engine at different operating conditions. The experimental work was performed on a test rig comprising a four stroke 5.67 liters water-cooled diesel engine and a Heenan hydraulic dynamometer. Instrumentation included devices for measuring engine speed, load, fuel consumption and inlet air flow rate. The measurements were conducted at 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 rpm. At each speed, the engine load was adjusted to 20%, 40% and 80% from the engine full load which corresponds to engine brake mean effective pressures of 1.55, 3.11, and 6.22 bar, respectively, for Oxy-hydrogen generator supplied Currents of 26A and electrolyte concentration of 25 %. The fuel saving percentage and so the brake thermal efficiency for the H2O2 enriched CI engine is more evidently seen at low loads and high-speed conditions. the volumetric efficiency drop was about 5 % at small speeds and reaches to about 2% at higher engine speed.

2) Emissions of HC and CO were reduced in the twin plug mode of operation due to the more complete combustion from two ignition points and faster flame propagation speeds.
3) Optimum performance was achieved with simultaneous ignition of both plugs at 260 degrees before top dead center, with higher efficiency and ability to use leaner mixtures compared to advanced or ret
The document discusses the influence of injection timing on the performance of a dual fuel compression ignition engine with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). Key findings from experiments conducted on a single cylinder diesel engine retrofitted to run on diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) include: 1) Brake thermal efficiency is highest at an intermediate LPG flow rate of 0.5kg/hr due to better combustion; 2) EGR reduces brake thermal efficiency and exhaust gas temperature by lowering combustion temperatures; 3) NOx emissions decrease with increased EGR as EGR lowers peak combustion temperatures. Smoke and hydrocarbon emissions increase with EGR due to reduced oxygen.
The document presents research on the experimental analysis of performance of a spark ignition engine with variable compression ratios between 6-9. The results show that brake thermal efficiency and brake mean effective pressure were highest at a compression ratio of 9, while specific fuel consumption was lowest. Emissions of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons decreased as the compression ratio increased from 6 to 9. The maximum improvement in brake thermal efficiency was approximately 10% when increasing the ratio from 6 to 9.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

comparable and close to gasoline fuels. If alcohols are blended in small quantities with gasoline
fuels, no engine modification is necessary.
The major exhaust emissions from SI engine are carbon monoxide (CO) and un-burnt
hydrocarbons (UBHC), formed due to incomplete combustion of fuel. Inhaling of these
pollutants cause severe headache, vomiting sensation, loss of hemoglobin in the blood,
respiratory problems etc,. [1-6]. Such pollutants also cause detrimental effects [6] on animal
and plant life, besides environmental disorders. If the engine is run with alcohol, aldehydes are
also to be checked. These aldehydes are carcinogenic in nature. The amount of exhaust
emissions from the engine depends on driving engine condition, driving methodology, road
layout, traffic density, etc,. [2]. Hence control of these emissions is immediate and an urgent
task. There are many methods to improve the performance of the engine out of which engine
modification with copper coating on piston crown and inner side of cylinder head improves
engine performance as copper is a good conductor of heat and combustion and pre-flame
reactions were improved with copper coating. [7-11]. Out of many methods available to control
pollutants from SI engine, catalytic converter is effective in reduction of pollutants in SI engine.
[12-15]. The reduction of CO and UBHC depends on mass of the catalyst, void ratio,
temperature of the catalyst, air flow rate, BMEP, speed and compression ratio of the engine,
Engine performance improved with change in fuel composition also. [16-21]. It was further
improved with simultaneous change of fuel composition and engine modification. [22-26].
Alcohols are blended with gasoline and used in copper coated engine so as to improve the
performance of the engine. However, no systematic investigations were reported with the use
of methanol blended gasoline in two stroke and four stroke copper coated engine with varied
engine parameters.
The present paper reported the exhaust emissions of two-stroke and four-stroke CCE, with
methanol blended gasoline. The exhaust emissions of CO, UBHC and aldehydes were
controlled by catalytic converter with copper as catalyst.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
Figure 1 shows experimental set up of four-stroke CCE with methanol blended gasoline. A
four- stroke, single-cylinder, water-cooled, SI engine of brake power 2.2 kW, at the speed of
3000 rpm was coupled to an eddy current dynamometer for measuring its brake power. The
bore of the engine was 70 mm while the stroke was 66 mm. Compression ratio of engine was
varied (3-9) with change of clearance volume by adjustment of cylinder head, threaded to
cylinder of the engine. Engine speeds were varied from 2000 to 3000 rpm. Exhaust gas
temperature was measured with iron- constantan thermocouples. Fuel consumption of engine
was measured with burette method, while air consumption was measured with an air-box
method.

Exhaust gas temperature, speed, torque, fuel consumption and air flow rate of the engine were
measured with electronic sensors. Compression ratio and speed of 4-stroke engine was made
equal (7.5:1 and 3000 rpm) to that of 2-stroke engine in order to maintain same conditions for
comparison purpose.

In catalytic coated engine, piston crown and inner surface of cylinder head were coated with
copper by flame spray gun. The surface of the components to be coated were cleaned and
subjected to sand blasting. A bond coating of nickel- cobalt- chromium of thickness 100
microns was sprayed over which copper (89.5%), aluminium (9.5%) and iron (1%) alloy of
thickness 300 microns was coated with METCO (Trade name of the company) flame spray gun.
The coating has very high bond strength and does not wear off even after 50 h of operation [7].
CO and UBHC emissions in engine exhaust were measured with Netel Chromatograph
analyzer. DNPH method [27-29] was employed for measuring aldehydes in the
experimentation. The exhaust of the engine was bubbled through 2,4 dinitrophenyl hydrazine
(2,4 DNPH) solution. The hydrazones formed were extracted into chloroform and were
analyzed by employing high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to find the percentage
concentration of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in the exhaust of the engine.
A catalytic converter [12] (Figure .3) was fitted to exhaust pipe of engine. Provision was
also made to inject a definite quantity of air into catalytic converter. Air quantity drawn from
compressor and injected into converter was kept constant so that backpressure does not
increase. Experiments were carried out on CE and CCE with different test fuels under different
operating conditions of catalytic converter like set-A, without catalytic converter and without
air injection; set-B, with catalytic converter and without air injection; and set-C, with catalytic
converter and with air injection. The accuracy of the instrumentation used in the
experimentation is 0.1%.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Exhaust Emissions
Fig.4 shows variations of CO emissions with BMEP for two stroke engine with both versions
of the engine with test fuels at a compression ratio of 7.5:1 and speed of 3000 rpm. Curves from
Figure 4 indicate that methanol blended gasoline operation decreased CO emissions at all loads
when compared to pure gasoline operation on CCE and CE, as fuel-cracking reactions were
eliminated with methanol. The combustion of alcohol produced more water vapor than free
carbon atoms as methanol has lower C/H ratio of 0.33 against 0.44 of gasoline. Methanol has
oxygen in its structure and hence its blends have lower stoichiometric air requirements
compared to gasoline. Therefore more oxygen that was available for combustion with the blends
of methanol and gasoline, lead to reduction of CO emissions. Methanol dissociated in the
combustion chamber of the engine forming hydrogen, which helped the fuel-air mixture to burn

https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJMET 5 editor@iaeme.com
quickly and thus increases combustion velocity, which brought about complete combustion of
carbon present in the fuel to CO2 and also CO to CO2 thus made leaner mixture more
combustible, causing reduction of CO emissions. CCE reduced CO emissions in comparison
with CE. Copper or its alloys acted as catalyst in combustion chamber, whereby facilitated
effective combustion of fuel leading to formation of CO2 instead of CO. Similar trends were
observed with Reference-10 with pure gasoline operation on CCE.
Figure 4 Variation of CO emissions with BMEP
Fig.5 presents bar charts showing the variations of CO emissions at full load in two stroke
engine and four-stroke engine with test fuels with both versions of the engine at a compression
ratio of 7.5:1 and speed of 3000 rpm. From Figure.5, it is noticed that CO emissions were
observed to be lower with 4 stroke engine in comparison with two stroke engine at full load
operation on both versions of the engine. This was due to incomplete combustion of fuel in four
stroke engine.

Fig.6 shows variations of UBHC emissions with BMEP for two stroke engine with both
versions of the engine with test fuels at a compression ratio of 7.5:1 and speed of 3000 rpm.
Figure.6 indicates that UBHC emissions followed the same trend as CO emissions in CCE and
CE with both test fuels, due to increase of flame speed with catalytic activity and reduction of
quenching effect with CCE. Catalytic converter reduced pollutants considerably with CE and
CCE and air injection into catalytic converter further reduced pollutants. In presence of catalyst,
pollutants get further oxidised to give less harmful emissions like CO2.

Fig.7 presents bar charts showing the variations of UBHC emissions at full load in two
stroke engine and four-stroke engine with test fuels with both versions of the engine at a
compression ratio of 7.5:1 and speed of 3000 rpm.
Figure 7 Bar charts showing the variation of UBHC emissions of at full load
From Figure 7, it is noticed that UBHC emissions at peak load operation were observed to
be less with four stroke engine in comparison with two stroke engine at peak load operation on

both versions of the engine. This was due to increase of quenching effect with two stroke engine
leading to expel out of the fresh fuel without participating in combustion reactions causing
higher amount of UBHC
3.2. Catalytic Converter
Table.1 shows data of pollutants with test fuels with different operating conditions of catalytic
converter with different versions of the engine in two stroke and four stroke engine at full load
at a compression ratio of 7.5:1 and speed of 3000 rpm. From Table-1, it is observed that CO
emissions decreased considerably with Set-B operation, while Set-C further decreased
emissions in both versions of the engine with test fuels. Efficient combustion with methanol
blended gasoline coupled with catalytic activity decreased CO emissions in CCE. From the
same Table, it can be noticed that UBHC emissions decreased considerably with Set-B
operation, while Set-C further decreased emissions in both versions of the engine with test fuels.
Improved combustion with methanol blended gasoline along with turbulence with catalytic
activity decreased deposits in CCE causing decrease of UBHC emissions. CO and UBHC
emissions were observed to be higher with 2 stroke engine in comparison with 4 stroke engine
with different versions of the engine with different test fuels at same compression ration and
speed.
From the Table, it can be noticed that formaldehyde emissions decreased considerably with
Set-B operation, while Set-C further decreased emissions in both versions of the engine with
test fuels. However, methanol blended gasoline increased aldehyde emissions considerably in
comparison with pure gasoline operation. But CCE decreased aldehyde emissions in
comparison with CE with both test fuels. This is due to improved combustion so that
intermediate compounds will not be formed. 2-Stroke engine increased aldehyde emissions than
4 stroke engine as combustion reactions are incomplete with 2 stroke engine.
