Dynamic Monitoring Of Information in Large Scale Power GridsIJSRD
this document proposes the software model for detection and analysis of cascading faults in the operation of large scale power grids. Using data mining technologies, probable patterns can be detected for faults and proper mitigation measures can be taken. Firstly, the fault is detected by checking the stability of system. Then event sequences are calculated to best approximate the fault node. Then by analyzing the severity of vulnerability and region in which vulnerability would occur, proper ICT Technologies can make operators aware about the faults. Hence, speeding up the existing mechanisms. This model aims to solve problem of detection more efficiently than existing systems.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

3. INTRODUCTION
• EDM technique developed in late 1940.
• EDM is Electrical Discharge Machining and is well known as non
contact machining technique .
• EDM is basically a thermo-electric process, has the ability to machine any
conductive materials regardless of their mechanical and chemical properties.
• It is based on removing material from a part by means of a series of
repeated electrical discharges between tool called the electrode and the
workpiece in presence of dielectric fluid[1]
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 3
4. Applications of EDM
• EDM used for shaping difficult-to-cut materials such as Inconel, Titanium,
high speed steel etc.
• It has been extensively used to fabricate dies and mold’s.
• It is also used for manufacturing of medical components and finishing
parts for aerospace and automotive industry.
• It is very effective in machining very hard and high-strength material
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 4
5. LIMITATIONS OF EDM
• EDM is releasing a variety of harmful substances in the form of liquid, solid and
gaseous wastes, which result in serious health issues, and environmental issues.
• These harmful substances can enter the body of the worker through ingestion,
inhalation, and skin contact which is not satisfactory for green manufacturing.
• A the manufacturing process is considered to be an energy intensive activity, which
also affects the environment.
• The main problems encountered are Low MRR, High TWR,Poor Surface finish
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 5
6. Dielectric Medium
• The dielectric medium plays an essential role in the EDM process.
• Works as the insulation medium between the polarized electrodes to induce
discharge
• Also influences the plasma channel expansion and material erosion during the
discharge, and the debris flushing and discharge gap reconditioning after the
discharge.
• Therefore, understanding and selecting the right dielectric medium with proper
electrical, mechanical and thermal properties is considered a thrust area of
this research.
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 6
7. Dielectric Medium

9. They are classified based on dielectric medium
used
• Wet EDM:- liquid dielectric medium
• Powdered EDM:-A suitable material in fine powder is mixed with
dielectric fluid.(Three phase)
• Dry EDM :-Gas is used as dielectric medium(single phase)
• Near-Dry EDM:-mixture of gas and liquid is used(Two phae)
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 9
10. DRY EDM
• In dry EDM, tool electrode is shaped to be thin walled pipe.
• High-pressure air or gas is supplied through the pipe.
• The function of the gas is to eliminate the debris from the gap and to cool
the inter electrode gap.
• The technique was initiated to diminish the pollution caused by the use of
liquid dielectric which leads to creation of vapour during machining and the
cost to handle the waste.
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 10
11. Advantages Dry EDM
• Most likely advantages of DEDM process are negligible tool wear, low
residual stresses and better precision.
• simplicity in machine building, it does not require advanced and spacious
dielectric circulation and cooling mechanism, thus contributes to reduction
in manufacturing cost.
• Observed negligible TWR with minimum environmental hazards.
• Air and oxygen are commonly used gas dielectric medium in dry EDM.
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 11
14. Disadvantage
• Despite several advantages of dry EDM process, it’s one of the major
limitation is low material removal ability in respect of conventional die
sinking EDM process
• low material removal rate (MRR) and low surface quality due to debris
reattachment were the major limitation of the dry EDM
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 14
15. POWDER MIXED
• A appropriate material in powder form is mixed into the dielectric fluid..
• The powder particles organize themselves under the sparking area and collect
in clusters. The chain formation helps in bridging the gap distance between
both the electrodes which causes the early explosion.
• Rapidly sparking within discharge takes place and causes quicker erosion
from the work piece surface
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 15
16. Advantages & Disadvantage of Powder EDM
• Some conductive powder can reduce the surface roughness and the tendency
of cracks in middle finish
• It is revealed that literature review on three-phase dielectric medium is still
lacking.
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 16
17. NEAR DRY EDM
• In near dry EDM,used liquid-gas mist as the dielectric, delivered through a
rotating tubular electrode. Result revealed that at the low discharge energy
input, near-dry EDM exhibits good machining stability and smooth surface
finish.
• They observed that the surface finish was expected to be further improved in
near-dry EDM by reducing, the pulse duration. The proposed process
produced mirror like surface finish as illustrated in Figure 5
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 17
19. NEAR DRY EDM(NDEDM)
• Use of two-phase medium in ND-EDM improved the MRR and
eliminated the problem of debris deposition .
• Moreover, good machining stability and surface finish were also achieved .
TWR was negligible as compared to wet EDM with all combinations of
dielectric mediums.
• Most commonly used two-phase (liquid-gas)) dielectric medium are the
kerosene-air , deionized water-air and air-water
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 19
20. Advantage
• Near-dry EDM exhibits the advantage of good machining stability and
surface finish at low discharge energy input.
• To improve the surface finish in near-dry EDM, low pulse duration and low
discharge current were identified as the key factors
• Near-dry EDM process has the most MRR and the least SR.
• It is eco –friendly variant of conventinal EDM

run when factors are more. Thus they are of much time consuming and complicated.
But Taguchi design of experiment uses small number of runs to study the effect of process
parameters by using orthogonal array in its design.
• Taguchi method mainly focuses on the average performance characteristics data close
to the ideal target data rather than any other data within specified range, thereby improving
the quality of product.
• Taguchi method is easy and time savvy, thus can be directly applied to any engineering
situations. Taguchi design employs statistical tool called ANOVA (Analysis of variance)

Near Dry EDM method
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 34
35. Future scope
1.Most of the published work focuses on electrode wear rate, material
removal rate and surface finish. Further study should concentrate more on
developing dry EDM as a precision machining operation. For which,
along with electrode wear rate, material removal rate and surface finish other
performance variables such as over-cut, process repeatability should also be
considered.
2.In most of the dry-EDM process, either air or oxygen is used as a dielectric.
Further work may explore the use of nitrogen and inert gases as a dielectric
8-Feb-20Presentation @ VIT, Pune 35
36. 3.Under specific machining conditions, a mixture of gas and organic deionized
water may cause higher material removal rate than hydrocarbon oil.
4.The development of dry and near-dry EDM technique focused much on to
improve the MRR since MRR is lower than that of traditional EDM machining.
Very few studies reported surface integrity of machined parts

Electric Discharge Machining
The basic EDM process is really quite simple. An electrical spark is created between an electrode and a workpiece. The spark is visible evidence of the flow of electricity. This electric spark produces intense heat with temperatures reaching 8000 to 12000 degrees Celsius, melting almost anything. The spark is very carefully controlled and localized so that it only affects the surface of the material. The EDM process usually does not affect the heat treat below the surface. With wire EDM the spark always takes place in the dielectric of deionized water. The conductivity of the water is carefully controlled making an excellent environment for the EDM process. The water acts as a coolant and flushes away the eroded metal particles.
