The document describes a study that tested the grindability of clinker produced by firing petroleum coke versus coal in a laboratory ball mill. Samples of each clinker type were ground for 5 minutes and analyzed to determine residue levels at various sieve sizes (25, 45, 90 microns), specific surface area (Blaine), and compressive strength over time. The results showed that clinker produced with coal firing had lower residue levels and higher grindability. This is likely because coal-fired clinker had higher levels of tricalcium silicate and lower dicalcium silicate compared to petroleum coke-fired clinker. Dicalcium silicate contributes to lower grindability. The higher sulfur content and finer particles

Biodiesel has become a rapid growing liquid biofuel across the world as a substitute for fossil fuel. Corrosion of metals in biodiesel poses a great threat as this can affect durability of engine parts with which it comes in contact. This study aims at investigating influence of temperature on the corrosion characteristics of metals in used cooking oil methyl ester. The corrosion characteristics of copper-magnesium alloy, mild steel, aluminium, and stainless steel in used cooking oil methyl ester, commercial diesel and diesel- methyl ester blends were studied and the results of corrosion rates obtained in methyl ester and diesel methyl ester blends were compared with that obtained in commercial diesel. Static immersion tests of each metal were carried out in B0, B20, B40, B60, B80, and B100 fuels at room temperature (25-30 °C) for 965 hours, 40 °C, 60 °C, 80 °C, and 100 °C for 8 hours. At the end of the test, the corrosion rates of each metal were investigated by converting loss in weight into corrosion rate. Results showed that the corrosion rate of each metal sample increased as temperature increased. Also, Copper-magnesium alloy presented highest corrosion rates in all test fuels.
Effect of Heat Treatment on Corrosion Behavior of Spring SteelsEditor IJCATR
The experimental work deals with the effect of heat treatment on the corrosion behaviour of spring steels. In this study the
heat treatments like hardening, normalizing and tempering were done for spring steels to obtain martensitic matrix, pearlitic structure
and tempered martensitic matrix respectively. After heat treatment the microstructural studies were carried out for the samples using
SEM. Hardness measurements were done. The corrosion behaviour of all heat treated samples in HCl at different concentration (1.5N,
2N and 2.5N) was determined using Tafel extrapolation technique. The variation in the corrosion rates due to the effect of heat
treatment was noted. The results indicate that for fully martensitic matrix the corrosion rate is minimum and for pearlitic structure its
maximum. As tempering time is increased the corrosion rate increases correspondingly. The corroded microstructural images were
also taken using SEM and analysed.

Particulate Sintering of Iron Ore and Empirical Analysis of Sintering Time Ba...IOSR Journals
Particulate sintering of iron ore has been carried out using the necessary ingredients. Empirical
analysis of the sintering time based on the coke breeze input concentration and ignition temperature were also
successfully obtained through first principle application of a derived model which functioned as a evaluative
tool. The derived model;
S = (√T)0.95 + 0.0012α
indicates that amongst ignition temperature and coke breeze input, sintering time is more significantly affected
by the coke breeze input concentration. This is based on the higher correlation it makes with sintering time
compared to applied ignition temperature, all other process parameters being constant. The validity of the
model was rooted in the core expression S – Kα ≈ (√T )N where both sides of the expression are correspondingly
approximately almost equal. Sintering time per unit rise in the operated ignition temperature as obtained from
experiment, derived model and regression model were evaluated as 0.0169, 0.0128 and 0.0159 mins. / 0C
respectively. Similarly, sintering time per unit coke breeze input concentration as obtained from experiment,
derived model and regression model were evaluated as 4.0, 3.0183 and 3.7537 mins./ % respectively indicating a
significant proximate agreement and validity of the model. The standard error (STEYX) incurred in predicting
sintering time for each value of the ignition temperature and coke breeze input concentration considered, as
obtained from the experiment, derived model and regression model are 1.6646, 0.7678 and 2.98 x10-5 % as well
as 2.2128, 1.0264 and 1.2379% respectively. The maximum deviation of mode-predicted results from the
corresponding experimental values was less than 11%.
Computation of Theoretical Heat of Formation in a Kiln Using Fortran LanguageIOSR Journals
Abstract: The evolution of the early rotary kiln for cement industries and innovation made by man is to ease
cement processing. The rotary Kiln in which cement is burnt at 13000C to 15500C is a long cylinder rotating on
its axis and inclined so that the materials fed in at the upper end travel slowly to the lower end.
The approach adopted is by evolving a mathematical model of the system. Simulation of the process was carried
out using FORTRAN language to compute theoretical heat of formation. The exact value of theoretical heat of
formation was found to be 435.583000.
The aim is to produce a good quality clinker at the optimum fuel consumption and thermal efficiency.
The computer model is in a FORTRAN language. The simulation provides very encouraging result, which
showed trends that enabled the deduction of optimum system parameters.
Significance: This paper investigated the behavior of the kiln through computer simulations, for comparing
the performance of different constitutions under similar operations and conditions. The paper highlighted how a
good quality clinker can be produced at optimum fuel consumption and thermal efficiency.

The Effect of Dosage and Modulus of Activator on the Strength of Alkali Activ...ijtsrd
In this study, the effect of dosage and modulus of activator on the strength of alkali activated slag and fly ash based geopolymer mortar is studied. Fly ash from Tingyi is used. Blast furnace slag from No 1 Iron and Steel Industry, Pyin Oo Lwin is used. NaOH and Na2SiO3 are used as alkaline activator. Firstly, the physical properties of slag, fly ash and sand are tested. Alkali activated slag mortar is mixed with various proportion of activator. And the tests are made eight times with different activator dosage for slag mortar. Then the test is made once again without activator. Water slag cement ratio of 0.35 is used for this test. Fly ash based geopolymer mortar is mixed various proportion of activator. And the tests are made eight times with different activator dosage for fly ash based geopolymer mortar. Then the test is made once again without activator. Water fly ash ratio of 0.33 is used for this test. For both testing, samples are cured at 85°C for 24 hours and left at room temperature until the day of testing. The samples are tested for 3, 7, 14 and 28 days compressive strength. Then the compressive strength test results obtained from various dosages of activator and without activator are compared.

Environmental Pollution Reduction in Cement Industry for Co Combustion of Was...IJMER
Abstract: In recent years, there are several problems encountered in waste management system particularly waste tyre as well
as coals. The energy generation on incineration provides large amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emissions
which is the cause of major environmental threat. Therefore, the combustion of coal and tyre were carried out in cement industry
in order to generate heat energy at 1300
o
C and the only remaining residue (steel powder) to enhance the strength of the cement.
At the outset, the particle size of coal and tyre was cut into 63-75 and 180-212 µm respectively. Combustion experiments were
conducted using Nelson reactor under controlled conditions in presence of air and also in presence of nitrogen gas (INOX)
atmosphere. The temperature range was varied from 300-1300
0
C and several fuel mass loading in the furnace, expressed in
terms of bulk equivalence ratios in the range of 0.7-2.4. At fixed bulk equivalence ratios, as the furnace gas (Air) temperature
increased the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon yields from both fuels decreased drastically, while the CO2 yields increased. At
the highest temperature around 1300
0
C, the effluent of combustion of both (coal and tyre) fuels was practically devoid of
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) (at a detection limit of 0.3 µg of a PAH component/g of fuel burnt). In order to
understand the rate of thermal effect and morphology of co combustion material (coal and tyre), the preliminary results are very
essential to explore. Therefore, the thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM)
were carried out and results of coal and tyre mixture at various temperature conditions will be highlighted.
Keywords: Environmental Emission, Cement Industry, Carbon dioxide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), Nelson reactor.
Effect of Fly Ash Particles on the Mechanical Properties of Zn-22%Al Alloy vi...IOSR Journals
In the present investigation, a Zn-22%Al alloy is used as the matrix material and fly ash as the filler material. The composite is produced using powder metallurgy techniques. The fly ash is added in 2%, 4%, and 6% by wt% to the sintering metal. The composite is tested for hardness, density and tensile strength test. Microstructure examination is done using a high resolution optical microscope to obtain the distribution of fly ash in the Zn-Al matrix. Test results indicate that as fly ash content is increased, there is a considerable increase in hardness and tensile strength but decrease in density.
High-Volume Fly Ash Concrete: According to some researchers, more than 30% fly ash by mass (equivalent as 50% by volume) of the cementitious material may be considered enough to classify the mixtures as High-Volume Fly Ash (HVFA) concrete. It is possible to produce sustainable, high performance concrete mixtures with 50% or more cement replacement by fly ash.
Cars are a very important part of this modern world because they give luxury and comfort. Even
though they are comfortable, some problems always keep arising on the safety side. After a lot of research they
rectified certain problems using air bags, auto parking, turbo charger, pedal shift…, etc.
And now we are going to discuss about one such problem that arises on the safety side. An unsuspected
accident occurs when people smash their fingers in between the car doors. Due to this kind of accident around
120,000 people are injured every year. But this was not taken as a very major safety concern for the customer.
To avoid this kind accident due to car doors, we are introducing “SAFETY DOOR LOCK SYSTEM”
with the help of “HYDRAULIC PISTON AND IR SENSORS”.
The major working process of the “SAFETY DOOR LOCK SYSTEM”is, when a person places his/her
hand or fingers in the gap between the door and the outer panel, at the time when the closing action of the door
takes place, the Sensors start to transmit the Infra Red Rays to the Receivers at the
other end, and so even if someone closes the door without anybody‟s knowledge the hydraulic piston will
automatically come out and stop the door from closing and prevent the person from the unsuspected accident
and minor injuries by the car door and ensure maximum safety to the customer.
Extrusion can be defined as the process of subjecting a material to compression so that it is forced to
flow through an opening of a die and takes the shape of the hole. Multi-hole extrusion is the process of
extruding the products through a die having more than one hole. Multi-hole extrusion increases the production
rate and reduces the cost of production. In this study the ram force has calculated experimentally for single hole
and multi-hole extrusion. The comparison of ram forces between the single hole and multi-hole extrusion
provides the inverse relation between the numbers of holes in a die and ram force. The experimental lengths of
the extruded products through the various holes of multi-hole die are different. It indicates that the flow pattern
is dependent on the material behavior. The micro-hardness test has done for the extruded products of lead
through multi-hole die. It is observed that the hardness of the extruded lead products from the central hole is
found to be more than that of the products extruded from other holes. The study suggests that multi-hole
extrusion can be used for obtaining the extruded products of lead with varying hardness. The micro-structure
study has done for the lead material before and after extrusion. It is observed that the size of grains of lead
material after extrusion is smaller than the original lead.
Analysis of Agile and Multi-Agent Based Process Scheduling Modelirjes
As an answer of long growing frustration of waterfall Software development life cycle concepts,
agile software development concept was evolved in 90’s. The most popular agile methodologies is the Extreme
Programming (XP). Most software companies nowadays aim to produce efficient, flexible and valuable
Software in short time period with minimal costs, and within unstable, changing environments. This complex
problem can be modeled as a multi-agent based system, where agents negotiate resources. Agents can be used to
represent projects and resources. Crucial for the multi-agent based system in project scheduling model, is the
availability of an effective algorithm for prioritizing and scheduling of task. To evaluate the models, simulations
were carried out with real life and several generated data sets. The developed model (Multi-agent based System)
provides an optimized and flexible agile process scheduling and reduces overheads in the software process as it
responds quickly to changing requirements without excessive work in project scheduling.
Effects of Cutting Tool Parameters on Surface Roughnessirjes
This paper presents of the influence on surface roughness of Co28Cr6Mo medical alloy machined
on a CNC lathe based on cutting parameters (rotational speed, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius).The
influences of cutting parameters have been presented in graphical form for understanding. To achieve the
minimum surface roughness, the optimum values obtained for rpm, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius were
respectively, 318 rpm, 0,1 mm/rev, 0,7 mm and 0,8 mm. Maximum surface roughness has been revealed the
values obtained for rpm, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius were respectively, 318 rpm, 0,25 mm/rev, 0,9
mm and 0,4 mm.
Possible limits of accuracy in measurement of fundamental physical constantsirjes
The measurement uncertainties of Fundamental Physical Constants should take into account all
possible and most influencing factors. One from them is the finiteness of the model that causes the existence of
a-priori error. The proposed formula for calculation of this error provides a comparison of its value with the
actual experimental measurement error that cannot be done an arbitrarily small. According to the suggested
approach, the error of the researched Fundamental Physical Constant, measured in conventional field studies,
will always be higher than the error caused by the finite number of dimensional recorded variables of physicalmathematical
models. Examples of practical application of the considered concept for measurement of fine
structure constant, speed of light and Newtonian constant of gravitation are discussed.
Performance Comparison of Energy Detection Based Spectrum Sensing for Cogniti...irjes
With the rapid deployment of new wireless devices and applications, the last decade has witnessed a growing
demand for wireless radio spectrum. However, the policy of fixed spectrum assignment produces a bottleneck for more
efficient spectrum utilization, such that a great portion of the licensed spectrum is severely under-utilized. So the concept of
cognitive radio was introduced to address this issue.The inefficient usage of the limited spectrum necessitates the
development of dynamic spectrum access techniques, where users who have no spectrum licenses, also known as secondary
users, are allowed to use the temporarily unused licensed spectrum. For this purpose we have to know the presence or
absence of primary users for spectrum usage. So spectrums sensing is one of the major requirements of cognitive radio.Many
spectrum sensing techniques have been developed to sense the presence or absence of a licensed user. This paper evaluates
the performance of the energy detection based spectrum sensing technique in noisy and fading environments.The
performance of the energy detection technique will be evaluated by use of Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves
over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and fading channels.
Comparative Study of Pre-Engineered and Conventional Steel Frames for Differe...irjes
In this paper, the conventional steel frames having triangular Pratt truss as a roofing system of 60 m
length, span 30m and varying bay spacing 4m, 5m and 6m respectively having eaves level for all the portals is at
10m and the EOT crane is supported at the height of 8m from ground level and pre-engineered steel frames of
same dimensions are analyzed and designed for wind zones (wind zone 2, wind zone 3, wind zone 4 and wind
zone 5) by using STAAD Pro V8i. The study deals with the comparative study of both conventional and preengineered
with respect to the amount of structural steel required, reduction in dead load of the structure.
Flip bifurcation and chaos control in discrete-time Prey-predator model irjes
The dynamics of discrete-time prey-predator model are investigated. The result indicates that the
model undergo a flip bifurcation which found by using center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory.
Numerical simulation not only illustrate our results, but also exhibit the complex dynamic behavior, such as the
periodic doubling in period-2, -4 -8, quasi- periodic orbits and chaotic set. Finally, the feedback control method
is used to stabilize chaotic orbits at an unstable interior point.
Energy Awareness and the Role of “Critical Mass” In Smart Citiesirjes
A Smart City could be depicted as a place, logical and physical, in which a crowd of heterogeneous
entities is related in time and space through different types of interactions. Any type of entity, whether it is a
device or a person, clustered in communities, becomes a source of context-based data.
Energy awareness is able to drive the process of bringing our society to limit energy waste and to optimize
usage of available resources, causing a strong environmental and social impact. Then, following social network
analysis methodologies related to the dynamics of complex systems, it is possible to find out, emergent and
sometimes hidden new habits of electricity usage. Through an initial Critical Mass, involving a multitude of
consumers, each related to more contexts, we evaluate the triggering and spreading of a collective attitude. To
this aim, in this paper, we propose a novel analytical model defining a new concept of critical mass, which
includes centrality measures both in a single layer and in a multilayer social network.
A Firefly Algorithm for Optimizing Spur Gear Parameters Under Non-Lubricated ...irjes
Firefly algorithm is one of the emerging evolutionary approaches for complex and non-linear
optimization problems. It is inspired by natural firefly‟s behavior such as movement of fireflies based on

The Effect of Orientation of Vortex Generators on Aerodynamic Drag Reduction ...irjes
One of the main reasons for the aerodynamic drag in automotive vehicles is the flow separation
near the vehicle’s rear end. To delay this flow separation, vortex generators are used in recent vehicles. The
vortex generators are commonly used in aircrafts to prevent flow separation. Even though vortex generators
themselves create drag, but they also reduce drag by delaying flow separation at downstream. The overall effect
of vortex generators is more beneficial and proved by experimentation. The effect depends on the shape,size and
orientation of vortex generators. Hence optimized shape with proper orientation is essential for getting better
results.This paper presents the effect of vortex generators at different orientation to the flow field and the
mechanism by which these effects takes place.
An Assessment of The Relationship Between The Availability of Financial Resou...irjes
The availability of financial resources is an important element in impacting the success of a planning
process for an effective physical planning. The extent to which however, they are articulated in the process
remained elusive both in scholarly and public discourse. The objective of this study wastherefore, to examine
the extent to which financial resources affect physical planning. In doing so, the study examinedwhether
financial resources were adequate or not to facilitate planning processes in Paidha. According to the study
findings,budget prioritization and ceilings are still a challenge in Paidha Town Council. This is partly due
limited level of knowledge of physical planning among the officials of Paidha Town Council. As a result, there
were no dedicated budget line for routine inspection of physical development plan compliance and enforcement
tools in Paidha. In conclusion, in addressing uncoordinated patterns of physical development that characterize
Uganda‟s urban centres, a critical starting point ought to be the analysis of physical planning process. The
research of this kind is not only significant to other emerging urban centres facing poor a road network,
mushrooming informal settlements and poor social services including poor pattern of residential and commercial
developments but also to all institutions that are involved in planning these towns. Knowing the extent of need
for financial influences in planning may assist local authorities to take the processes of planning seriously which
will help enhance the sustainable development of emerging urban centres including Paidha.

Abstract:- About one-third of energy required to produce one ton of cement is consumed in grinding. There are
many factors affecting the energy consumption during clinker grinding. The energy consumption in the cement
mills varies between 30 to 50 kWh/ton. Clinker grinding test was conducted in a laboratory mill, 500 mm x 500
mm, for a time of 5 min and the amount of 3.5 kg of clinker. The experiment was done for clinker obtained by
firing pet-coke as fuel and clinker obtained by firing coal as fuel. Experimental mill is filled with different size
balls. The goal of this paper was studying the grindability of clinker and its effects in ball mill efficiency. It is
taken in consideration that clinker obtained by firing pet-coke has different grindability, different throughput
rates, fineness data and other quality parameters. Initially, we studied the chemical and mineralogical
composition of samples, and noticed changes in the results obtained. Also it is studied the residue of the
samples, specific surface, where the results indicate that clinker produced by firing coal has the highest scoring
of grindability.
Keywords:- clinker, pet-coke, ball mill, grindability, fineness
I. INTRODUCTION
Out of 110 to 130 kWh/ton of electrical power consumed in making cement, between 30 and 50
kWh/ton are consumed by finish milling operation (Bhatty & Miller & Kostmaka, 2004). There are many
factors affecting the grindability of clinker, thus effecting the energy consumption. It is also discussed in energy
consumptions and ball mill operation. Normally, the hardest clinkers require more power for grinding.
Furthermore, different fineness requires different energy consumption. Clinker grindability is the measure of the
ability of a clinker to resist grinding forces (Touil & Belaadi & Frances, 2003). Grindability of clinker increases
with decreasing silica ratio and with increasing alumina (Al2O3) and iron oxide (Fe2O3) contents (Duda, 1985).
A high content of tricalcium silicate (C3S), results in increasing clinker grindability and the opposite happened
when clinker has a high content of dicalcium silicate (C2S) (Duda, 1985). The more liquid phase, the lower is
grindability of clinker (Duda, 1985). Grandability is also effected by C3A, C4AF and MgO, which results in
energy saving. Also, clinker containing high free lime, it is found to have higher grindability. This articles
attempts to show the grindability of clinker produced by firing pet-coke and clinker produced by firing coal to
the rotary kiln. For this purpose, are taken samples of clinker sintered firing petcoke and clinker sintered firing
coal. When using pet-coke, it is noted that clinker has a lower granulometry. This is reason of high SO3 content,
effecting the tension surface. It’s seemed from experience that the use of small percentage of petcoke does not
show these problems. The content of SO3 in clinker increase when using pet-coke, according to the quantity of
pet-coke used. Petroleum coke different from coal has non-hygroscopic nature. Humidity is usually about 8-
10%, but for a better ignition in the kiln is recommended around 1-2 %. It has lower ash content than coal. Ash
content is 0.3 - 0.5% and sulfur content is 5.7%. Petroleum coke is a fuel with high calorific value. Gross
calorific value is approximately 8000 kcal/kg. The content of sulfur in petroleum coke depends on the sulfur
content in crude oil. Pet-coke is generally more finely than coal, so there is no need for a pre grinding before
storing and sending to the mill. Hardgrove grindability index (HGI), of coke and lignite are roughly the same,
although coke requires more energy to grind, it's because of low fines required. Petroleum coke, which is used
as fuel has a HGI between 40 to 55, where, HGI 30 refers to fuels very strong, and HGI 70 refers to fuel very
soft.
II. MATERIAL AND METHOD
The laboratory ball mill used in the experiments was 500 mm in diameter and 500 mm in length. This
mill was driven by variable speed drive 1.5 kW motor, voltage of applied power supply was 380 V and
frequency of applied power supply 50 Hz. The ball loading weight was 100 kg. The feed charge was held
constant at 3.5 kg, for all experiments and the mill was rotated at 48 rpm. For effective size reduction there
should be an appropriate ratio between the size of the feed material particles and the mass of the individual
grinding media (Labahn/Kohlhass, 1983). The significant effect of ball size on the grinding efficiency has been

Specific surface (Blaine)
compressive strength for 2 days, 28 days and 3 months
To obtain the residue and the Blaine of the samples, each sample was ground in dry conditions using
same ball charge and time. The particle size distributions of the samples were determined by dry sieving
technique. It was observed that the power input to the mill slightly decreased when the material becomes very
fine. The chemical compositions of clinkers used in this study are listed in table 2 and 3.

By comparing the results of clinker chemical compounds, we note that some of tricalcium silicate in
clinker produced by firing coal is considerably higher than the clinker produced by firing pet-coke. While, in the
clinker produced by pet-coke noticed that the amount of dicalcium silicate is higher. Since, alkalis are not
sufficient to combine with excess sulfur, located in pet-coke, a portion of the excess sulfur permeate inside

dicalcium silicate (C2S), which can absorb up to 2% SO3. C2S, which has combined SO3 in the crystal structure,
has fewer tendencies to act with CaO to form tricalcium silicate. This brings an increased amount of C2S and a
lower amount of C3S, at the final clinker. Because, C2S is one of the most difficult minerals to grind and as its
amount increases in clinker, will have a reduction of clinker grindability of clinker produced firing petroleum
coke. Another reason, as a result of high SO3 is that surface tension affects the viscosity of the liquid phase,
which affects clinker granulometry. These conditions will produce a finer clinker and more dust. Production of
excessive dust, adversely affects grindability of clinker. There are also indirect causes, associated with the
formation of condensed material, frequent blockages and increasing free lime, which can lead operator to
produce an over burned clinker.
III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The experiment was conducted in a laboratory mill for two different types of clinker. For each clinker
were analyzed 10 samples, where we determined residue in sieves 25 μm, 45 μm and 90 μm; specific surface
(Blaine); compressive strength 2-day, 28-day and 3 months. The results obtained are shown in graphics, where
you see the difference between clinker produced by firing Pet-coke and clinker produced by firing coal.

In Figure 1, 2 and 3 are presented the results of residue obtained from grinding the samples. It is seen
that for the same time of grinding (5 min), clinker produced by firing coal reaches a finer residue nearly for all
samples of the analysis. This is a result of higher content of C3S, therefore alite is grinding easer than belite. In
Figure 4, shows the results of specific surface for clinker produced with coal and pet-coke, where it is seen that
clinker produced by firing coal reach higher values.
