The document discusses how adding silicon carbide abrasive particles to the dielectric fluid affects the performance of electric discharge machining (EDM). It finds that the abrasive particles improve surface finish and machining efficiency by facilitating bridging discharge between electrodes. Experiments were conducted using different levels of parameters like discharge current, abrasive concentration, and particle size. Regression analysis found discharge current and abrasive concentration to be the most significant parameters influencing surface roughness. The addition of abrasive particles was found to increase material removal rate and improve surface finish in EDM of D3 die steel.

Abstract Electrical discharge machining is the most widely used machining process in industries. Its use is particularly intense when very complex shapes on hard materials with a high dimensional accuracy are required. However the technological capability of the process has limited application when there is a requirement of high surface quality and mirror like characteristics. Its operation is characterized by long machining time, high tool wear and uncertainty in the final finish of the surface. However for finish surface, materials are subjected to mechanical polishing after EDM, which is wastage of time and energy. To improve the efficiency and surface finish of the work piece, the abrasive particles of Aluminum oxide (Al2O3 ) are mixed into the dielectric fluid at tool-work interface. In this Abrasive mixed EDM, the Abrasive mixed dielectric fluid facilitate the bridging effect and minimize the insulating strength of the dielectric fluid. As a result it improves the material removal rate and surface roughness. This paper presents the effect of abrasive on the performance of the EDM process. The results of both the processes have been analyzed using Design of experiments to find the significant parameters and to obtain the optimum parameters required for machining. Analyzed results indicate that abrasive particle size and abrasive concentration and pulse current are the most significant parameters that improve the material removal rate in comparison with traditional EDM. A new experimental setup is developed for experimentation. The result shows that the MRR increases with the abrasive mixed EDM. Keywords: Material removal rate, Abrasive mixed EDM, Dielectric fluid, Design of experiment, Abrasive particle size.

ABSTRACT: This paper mainly focussed to investigate the machining characteristics of RENE 80 Nickel Alloy during powder mixed electrical discharge machining. The experiments were conducted considering electrical parameters (pulse on time, peak current and pulse off time) at optimal combination to get maximum material removal rate by varying powders like aluminium, graphite and combination of aluminium and graphite powders and their concentrations. The experimental results reveal that improvement in material removal rate with addition of powders into dielectric fluid. The maximum material removal rate (75.08 mm3 /min) was noticed with graphite powder substances at 9 g/l. Minimum surface roughness (4.44µm) was noticed at the combination of aluminium and graphite powders (1:1 ratio) substance of 4.5 g/l. However considering simultaneously better values of all two responses namely material removal rate (71.90 mm3 /min) and surface roughness (4.44µm) are obtained with the combination of aluminium and graphite powders (1:1 ratio) of 4.5 g/l.
DLC coatings are much known for their wear resistance and are very hard. These coatings find various applications in biomedical and mechanical applications where wear resistance is required.

Experimental Study on Surface Roughness by Using Abrasive ParticlesIJERA Editor
New advancement of technology and never satisfying demands of the civilization are putting huge pressure on the natural fuel resources and these resources are at a constant threat to its sustainability. Surface finish has a vital influence on functional properties such as wear resistance and power loss due to friction on most of the engineering components. Voltage, mesh number, revolutions per minute (rpm) of electromagnet, and percentage weight of abrasives has been identified as important process parameters affecting surface roughness. The experiments were planned using response surface methodology and percentage change in surface roughness (ΔRa) was considered as response. Analysis of experimental data showed that percentage change in surface roughness (ΔRa) was highly influenced by mesh number followed by percentage weight of abrasives, rpm of electromagnet, and voltage. The process has been investigated extensively in the finishing of cylindrical surfaces. The surface finish was found to improve significantly with an increase in the grain size, relative size of abrasive particles vis-à-vis the iron particles, feed rate and current. Super finishing is a micro-finishing process that produces a controlled and smooth surface condition on work pieces. It is not primarily a sizing operation, its major purpose is to produce a surface on a work piece capable of sustaining uneven distribution of a load by improving the geometrical accuracy. The wear life of the parts micro finished to maximum smoothness is extended considerably. According to the design of experimentation, mathematical model for Lapping operation on advance ceramic material is proposed. In order to get minimum values of the surface roughness, optimization of the mathematical model is done and optimal operation of the examined factors is going to be determined. The obtained res

The main objective of this project is to be produce copper reinforced metal matrix composite (MMC) layers using micron sized AlN particles via friction stir processing (FSP) in order to enhance surface mechanical properties. Micro structural evaluation using Optical Microscopy (OM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) indicated that an increase in traverse speed and a decrease in rotational speed cause a reduction in the grain size of different groove width (0,0.4,0.8,1.2 mm) of stir zone (SZ) for the specimens friction stir processed (FSPed) without AlN particles. It was found that upon addition of AlN particles, wear properties were improved. This behavior was further supported by SEM images of wear surfaces. Results demonstrated that the micro composite produced by FSP exhibited enhanced wear resistance and higher average friction coefficient in comparison with pure copper. Tensile properties and fracture characteristics of the specimens FSPed with and without AlN particles and pure copper were also evaluated. According to the results, the MMC layer produced by FSP showed higher strength and lower elongation than pure copper while a remarkable elongation was observed for FSPed specimen without AlN particles and been greatly developed by the use of AlN.
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are recognized in many sectors as a promising way of controlling wear and the corrosion performance of components. DLC coatings are unique in the sense that they are a diverse group of amorphous carbon films with a wide range of engineering properties. This allows the tailoring of DLC coating properties for specific applications by choosing suitable deposition method and adjusting their architectures. In this presentation, three qualities of DLC coatings with the greatest relevance for oil and gas applications are identified; these include: (i) improved tribological properties; (ii) reduced corrosion; and (iii) anti-fouling properties. Successful applications of DLC coatings in petroleum production are reviewed, giving examples of protection against erosion-corrosion and fouling in flow control devices and in components where protection of internal surfaces in cylindrical structures is required. The application of DLC coatings in the oil and gas sectors is still very low, compared to other sectors; therefore, it is expected that demand for this type functional coatings has potential for steady growth.

Abstract
In this paper, the effect of chromium powder mixed dielectric fluid on machining characteristics of AISI D2 die steel has been studied. Peak current, pulse on time, pulse off time, concentration of powder are the process parameters. The process performance is measured in terms of material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR) and surface roughness (SR). The research outcome will identify the important process parameters that maximize MRR, minimize TWR and SR. The design of experiment has been undertaken using Taguchi method. ANOVA analysis has been used to investigate the percentage contribution of each process parameter for optimizing the performance. The study indicates that all the selected parameters except pulse off time have a significant effect on MRR. Current is found to be the most significant factor for MRR and TWR. With increase in current, TWR increases. Also, surface roughness increases with increase in pulse off time.

Optimization of Process Parameters And Dielectric Fluids on Machining En 31 B...IJERA Editor
The electric discharge machining is the one of the most desirable machining process for the materials which are having high hardness and good thermal conductivity. The EDM process surpassed through the technological barriers by overcoming limitations like processing speed, material conductivity, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish and so on. However, environmental impact due to release of toxic emissions aerosols during the process, poor operational safety due to fire hazard, electromagnetic radiation and non-bio degradable waste are the major problems concerned with conventional dielectric fluids (i.e. kerosene, hydro carbon, etc.,). To reduce the problems with conventional die electric fluids waste palm oil blended with kerosene is used. The process is mostly used in situations where intricate, complex shapes need to be machined in very hard materials. The objective of this work is to study the influence of four design factors current (I), voltage (V), pulse on(P on), and pulse off(P off) which are the most relevant parameters to be controlled by the EDM process over machining characteristics such as material removal rate (MRR) characteristics of surface integrity such as average surface roughness (Ra). Multi Objective optimization of process parameters is done by using TOPSIS

The present work demonstrates the optimization process of material removal rate MRR of electrical discharge machining EDM by RSM Response Surface Methodology . The work piece material was EN31 tool steel. The pulse on time, pulse off time, pulse current and voltage were the control parameters of EDM. RSM method was used to design the experiment using rotatable central composite design as this is the most widely used experimental design for modeling a second–order response surface. The process has been successfully modeled using response surface methodology RSM and model adequacy checking is also carried out using Minitab software. The second order response models have been validated with analysis of variance. Finally, an attempt has been made to estimate the optimum machining conditions to produce the best possible responses within the experimental constraints. Dr. N. Mahesh Kumar | Mr. P.

Demand for low weight to strength ratio for exclusive application in automobile and aerospace components created scope for advance studies on Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs). However, machining of MMCs challenges for conventional machining processes due to uneven hardness, matrix of composites and undesired tool life. Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is one of the unconventional material removal process, which offers alternatives for machining of MMCs because, being a non-contact process it can be machine excessive harder material, intricate shape with better surface finish and tool life. The evolved heat during EDM process and subsequent flushing of machined debris and rapidly resolidified layer is formed by the re-solidification of residual molten material on the machined surface during the EDM process leaves behind recast layers which is extremely hard and brittle. In the presents study optimization of process parameters to minimize the surface roughness of the rapidly resolidified layer of Al 7075 MMC while
machining using EDM process is carried out using the Taguchi tequniues. The gap current, pulse on-time and pulse off-time were considered as process parameters. The formation of resolidified layers is investigated in terms of the surface roughness as response variables inside the hole and near the hole while EDM drilling.
Experimental Study with Rotating Tool Electrode of EDM for NiAlloyIJMER
Conventional machining process has the limitation when desired surface finish and
dimensional accuracy in geometry is required in difficult to machine aerospace materials especially for
the cases of drilling holes. Non conventional advance machining processes (AMPs) are extensively used
in the industry to machine for the complex geometrical dimension along with desired surface finish in
hard materials. Electrical Discharge machining with modification for holding and rotating the
electrode has been used in the present experiment for making holes in the Nimonic alloy. This paper
investigate the influence of gap current, pulse on time, duty factor, tool electrode rpm and especially the
polarity of the machine on Material Removal Rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra) for machining of
Nimonic alloy. It is observed that with suitable control of input parameters of Electrical Discharge
drilling (EDD), MRR and Ra both found to be improving together from 60 to 90 mg and 4.8 to 2.9 µm
respectively which confirm the viability of using tool electrode rotation in EDM machining.
Investigation of Process Parameters for Optimization of Surface Roughness in ...IJERA Editor
Surface roughness has significant effect on functionality and service life of components. If surface roughness is properly controlled then, performance of the component enhances in operational applications. Surface roughness becomes key concern when intricate profiles and shapes are required to be manufactured in components. The objective of the paper is to bring up an adequate surface roughness in finish cut by optimizing process variables. If initial surface form is obtained by proper control of machining parameters then additional finishing efforts and lead time reduce a lot. In the industrial tool room survey availability of machining data is prime concern in terms of tuned process parameter for precision machining. Optimization of process parameters is essential in order to arrest surface roughness and thereby improve surface textures. Experimental investigations are performed to study the effect of pulse current, pulse on time and gap voltage on response of surface roughness, in case of ram EDM. Design of experimentation (DOE) and ANOVA are carried out for optimization of process parameters, within work interval of finish cut machining
ADVANCEMENT IN ULTRASONIC VIBRATION AND MAGNETIC FIELD ASSISTED MICROEDM PROC...IAEME Publication
Micro-machining of components has been emerged as a peak demand in the world
of micro-manufacturing. Micro-EDM is proved to be the most suitable for micro
drilling purposes. It is very essential to fabricate micro holes as well as features with
very high dimensional accuracy and precision. The major drawbacks in micro-EDM
processes are the low metal removal, tool wear and surface roughness. Researchers
have carried out several investigations to compensate the various machining problems
in the micro-EDM process. So, there evolves a need for development of more
sophisticated machining features in micro-EDM process combining with additional
techniques. This paper presents a brief review on the latest advancement in ultrasonic
vibration and magnetic field assisted techniques to improve machining efficiency and

A Novel Method for Prevention of Bandwidth Distributed Denial of Service AttacksIJERD Editor
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks became a massive threat to the Internet. Traditional
Architecture of internet is vulnerable to the attacks like DDoS. Attacker primarily acquire his army of Zombies,
then that army will be instructed by the Attacker that when to start an attack and on whom the attack should be
done. In this paper, different techniques which are used to perform DDoS Attacks, Tools that were used to
perform Attacks and Countermeasures in order to detect the attackers and eliminate the Bandwidth Distributed
Denial of Service attacks (B-DDoS) are reviewed. DDoS Attacks were done by using various Flooding
techniques which are used in DDoS attack.
The main purpose of this paper is to design an architecture which can reduce the Bandwidth
Distributed Denial of service Attack and make the victim site or server available for the normal users by
eliminating the zombie machines. Our Primary focus of this paper is to dispute how normal machines are
turning into zombies (Bots), how attack is been initiated, DDoS attack procedure and how an organization can
save their server from being a DDoS victim. In order to present this we implemented a simulated environment
with Cisco switches, Routers, Firewall, some virtual machines and some Attack tools to display a real DDoS
attack. By using Time scheduling, Resource Limiting, System log, Access Control List and some Modular
policy Framework we stopped the attack and identified the Attacker (Bot) machines
Hearing loss is one of the most common human impairments. It is estimated that by year 2015 more
than 700 million people will suffer mild deafness. Most can be helped by hearing aid devices depending on the
severity of their hearing loss. This paper describes the implementation and characterization details of a dual
channel transmitter front end (TFE) for digital hearing aid (DHA) applications that use novel micro
electromechanical- systems (MEMS) audio transducers and ultra-low power-scalable analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), which enable a very-low form factor, energy-efficient implementation for next-generation
DHA. The contribution of the design is the implementation of the dual channel MEMS microphones and powerscalable
ADC system.
Influence of tensile behaviour of slab on the structural Behaviour of shear c...IJERD Editor
-A composite beam is composed of a steel beam and a slab connected by means of shear connectors
like studs installed on the top flange of the steel beam to form a structure behaving monolithically. This study
analyzes the effects of the tensile behavior of the slab on the structural behavior of the shear connection like slip
stiffness and maximum shear force in composite beams subjected to hogging moment. The results show that the
shear studs located in the crack-concentration zones due to large hogging moments sustain significantly smaller
shear force and slip stiffness than the other zones. Moreover, the reduction of the slip stiffness in the shear
connection appears also to be closely related to the change in the tensile strain of rebar according to the increase
of the load. Further experimental and analytical studies shall be conducted considering variables such as the
reinforcement ratio and the arrangement of shear connectors to achieve efficient design of the shear connection
in composite beams subjected to hogging moment.
Gold prospecting using Remote Sensing ‘A case study of Sudan’IJERD Editor
Gold has been extracted from northeast Africa for more than 5000 years, and this may be the first
place where the metal was extracted. The Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) is an exposure of Precambrian
crystalline rocks on the flanks of the Red Sea. The crystalline rocks are mostly Neoproterozoic in age. ANS
includes the nations of Israel, Jordan. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Yemen, and Somalia.
Arabian Nubian Shield Consists of juvenile continental crest that formed between 900 550 Ma, when intra
oceanic arc welded together along ophiolite decorated arc. Primary Au mineralization probably developed in
association with the growth of intra oceanic arc and evolution of back arc. Multiple episodes of deformation
have obscured the primary metallogenic setting, but at least some of the deposits preserve evidence that they
originate as sea floor massive sulphide deposits.
The Red Sea Hills Region is a vast span of rugged, harsh and inhospitable sector of the Earth with
inimical moon-like terrain, nevertheless since ancient times it is famed to be an abode of gold and was a major
source of wealth for the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. The Pharaohs old workings have been periodically
rediscovered through time. Recent endeavours by the Geological Research Authority of Sudan led to the
discovery of a score of occurrences with gold and massive sulphide mineralizations. In the nineties of the
previous century the Geological Research Authority of Sudan (GRAS) in cooperation with BRGM utilized
satellite data of Landsat TM using spectral ratio technique to map possible mineralized zones in the Red Sea
Hills of Sudan. The outcome of the study mapped a gossan type gold mineralization. Band ratio technique was
applied to Arbaat area and a signature of alteration zone was detected. The alteration zones are commonly
associated with mineralization. The alteration zones are commonly associated with mineralization. A filed check
confirmed the existence of stock work of gold bearing quartz in the alteration zone. Another type of gold
mineralization that was discovered using remote sensing is the gold associated with metachert in the Atmur
Desert.
Reducing Corrosion Rate by Welding DesignIJERD Editor
The paper addresses the importance of welding design to prevent corrosion at steel. Welding is
used to join pipe, profiles at bridges, spindle, and a lot more part of engineering construction. The
problems happened associated with welding are common issues in these fields, especially corrosion.
Corrosion can be reduced with many methods, they are painting, controlling humidity, and also good
welding design. In the research, it can be found that reducing residual stress on the welding can be
solved in corrosion rate reduction problem.
Preheating on 500oC and 600oC give better condition to reduce corosion rate than condition after
preheating 400oC. For all welding groove type, material with 500oC and 600oC preheating after 14 days
corrosion test is 0,5%-0,69% lost. Material with 400oC preheating after 14 days corrosion test is 0,57%-0,76%
lost.
Welding groove also influence corrosion rate. X and V type welding groove give better condition to reduce
corrosion rate than use 1/2V and 1/2 X welding groove. After 14 days corrosion test, the samples with
X welding groove type is 0,5%-0,57% lost. The samples with V welding groove after 14 days corrosion test is
0,51%-0,59% lost. The samples with 1/2V and 1/2X welding groove after 14 days corrosion test is 0,58%-
0,71% lost.

Active Power Exchange in Distributed Power-Flow Controller (DPFC) At Third Ha...IJERD Editor
This paper presents a component within the flexible ac-transmission system (FACTS) family, called
distributed power-flow controller (DPFC). The DPFC is derived from the unified power-flow controller (UPFC)
with an eliminated common dc link. The DPFC has the same control capabilities as the UPFC, which comprise
the adjustment of the line impedance, the transmission angle, and the bus voltage. The active power exchange
between the shunt and series converters, which is through the common dc link in the UPFC, is now through the
transmission lines at the third-harmonic frequency. DPFC multiple small-size single-phase converters which
reduces the cost of equipment, no voltage isolation between phases, increases redundancy and there by
reliability increases. The principle and analysis of the DPFC are presented in this paper and the corresponding
simulation results that are carried out on a scaled prototype are also shown.
Mitigation of Voltage Sag/Swell with Fuzzy Control Reduced Rating DVRIJERD Editor
Power quality has been an issue that is becoming increasingly pivotal in industrial electricity
consumers point of view in recent times. Modern industries employ Sensitive power electronic equipments,
control devices and non-linear loads as part of automated processes to increase energy efficiency and
productivity. Voltage disturbances are the most common power quality problem due to this the use of a large
numbers of sophisticated and sensitive electronic equipment in industrial systems is increased. This paper
discusses the design and simulation of dynamic voltage restorer for improvement of power quality and
reduce the harmonics distortion of sensitive loads. Power quality problem is occurring at non-standard
voltage, current and frequency. Electronic devices are very sensitive loads. In power system voltage sag,
swell, flicker and harmonics are some of the problem to the sensitive load. The compensation capability
of a DVR depends primarily on the maximum voltage injection ability and the amount of stored
energy available within the restorer. This device is connected in series with the distribution feeder at
medium voltage. A fuzzy logic control is used to produce the gate pulses for control circuit of DVR and the
circuit is simulated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
Study on the Fused Deposition Modelling In Additive ManufacturingIJERD Editor
Additive manufacturing process, also popularly known as 3-D printing, is a process where a product
is created in a succession of layers. It is based on a novel materials incremental manufacturing philosophy.
Unlike conventional manufacturing processes where material is removed from a given work price to derive the
final shape of a product, 3-D printing develops the product from scratch thus obviating the necessity to cut away
materials. This prevents wastage of raw materials. Commonly used raw materials for the process are ABS
plastic, PLA and nylon. Recently the use of gold, bronze and wood has also been implemented. The complexity
factor of this process is 0% as in any object of any shape and size can be manufactured.

Secure Image Transmission for Cloud Storage System Using Hybrid SchemeIJERD Editor
- Data over the cloud is transferred or transmitted between servers and users. Privacy of that
data is very important as it belongs to personal information. If data get hacked by the hacker, can be
used to defame a person’s social data. Sometimes delay are held during data transmission. i.e. Mobile
communication, bandwidth is low. Hence compression algorithms are proposed for fast and efficient
transmission, encryption is used for security purposes and blurring is used by providing additional
layers of security. These algorithms are hybridized for having a robust and efficient security and
transmission over cloud storage system.
Application of Buckley-Leverett Equation in Modeling the Radius of Invasion i...IJERD Editor
A thorough review of existing literature indicates that the Buckley-Leverett equation only analyzes
waterflood practices directly without any adjustments on real reservoir scenarios. By doing so, quite a number
of errors are introduced into these analyses. Also, for most waterflood scenarios, a radial investigation is more
appropriate than a simplified linear system. This study investigates the adoption of the Buckley-Leverett
equation to estimate the radius invasion of the displacing fluid during waterflooding. The model is also adopted
for a Microbial flood and a comparative analysis is conducted for both waterflooding and microbial flooding.
Results shown from the analysis doesn’t only records a success in determining the radial distance of the leading
edge of water during the flooding process, but also gives a clearer understanding of the applicability of
microbes to enhance oil production through in-situ production of bio-products like bio surfactans, biogenic
gases, bio acids etc.
Gesture Gaming on the World Wide Web Using an Ordinary Web CameraIJERD Editor
- Gesture gaming is a method by which users having a laptop/pc/x-box play games using natural or
bodily gestures. This paper presents a way of playing free flash games on the internet using an ordinary webcam
with the help of open source technologies. Emphasis in human activity recognition is given on the pose
estimation and the consistency in the pose of the player. These are estimated with the help of an ordinary web
camera having different resolutions from VGA to 20mps. Our work involved giving a 10 second documentary to
the user on how to play a particular game using gestures and what are the various kinds of gestures that can be
performed in front of the system. The initial inputs of the RGB values for the gesture component is obtained by
instructing the user to place his component in a red box in about 10 seconds after the short documentary before
the game is finished. Later the system opens the concerned game on the internet on popular flash game sites like
miniclip, games arcade, GameStop etc and loads the game clicking at various places and brings the state to a
place where the user is to perform only gestures to start playing the game. At any point of time the user can call
off the game by hitting the esc key and the program will release all of the controls and return to the desktop. It
was noted that the results obtained using an ordinary webcam matched that of the Kinect and the users could
relive the gaming experience of the free flash games on the net. Therefore effective in game advertising could
also be achieved thus resulting in a disruptive growth to the advertising firms.

Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR), also known as Microsatellites, have been extensively used as
molecular markers due to their abundance and high degree of polymorphism. The nucleotide sequences of
polymorphic forms of the same gene should be 99.9% identical. So, Microsatellites extraction from the Gene is
crucial. However, Microsatellites repeat count is compared, if they differ largely, he has some disorder. The Y
chromosome likely contains 50 to 60 genes that provide instructions for making proteins. Because only males
have the Y chromosome, the genes on this chromosome tend to be involved in male sex determination and
development. Several Microsatellite Extractors exist and they fail to extract microsatellites on large data sets of
giga bytes and tera bytes in size. The proposed tool “MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to extract

locate Microsatellites and extracts them.
Importance of Measurements in Smart GridIJERD Editor
- The need to get reliable supply, independence from fossil fuels, and capability to provide clean
energy at a fixed and lower cost, the existing power grid structure is transforming into Smart Grid. The
development of a smart energy distribution grid is a current goal of many nations. A Smart Grid should have
new capabilities such as self-healing, high reliability, energy management, and real-time pricing. This new era
of smart future grid will lead to major changes in existing technologies at generation, transmission and
distribution levels. The incorporation of renewable energy resources and distribution generators in the existing
grid will increase the complexity, optimization problems and instability of the system. This will lead to a
paradigm shift in the instrumentation and control requirements for Smart Grids for high quality, stable and
reliable electricity supply of power. The monitoring of the grid system state and stability relies on the
availability of reliable measurement of data. In this paper the measurement areas that highlight new

stone powder in the production of SCC with combined use GGBS and how it affects the fresh and mechanical
properties of SCC. First SCC is made by replacing cement with GGBS in percentages like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and
by taking the optimum mix with GGBS lime stone powder is blended to mix in percentages like 5, 10, 15, 20 as
a partial replacement to cement. Test results shows that the SCC mix with combination of 30% GGBS and 15%
limestone powder gives maximum compressive strength and fresh properties are also in the limits prescribed by

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.
NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Abstract:- In this paper the Silicon carbide(SiC) abrasive particles are mixed in dielectric fluid to find out its
effect on the performance of EDM. The Electric discharge machining is used particularly when complex shapes
are to be produced on the hard materials. The surface roughness is one of the most considerable characteristics
in EDM. An good surface finish significantly improves the corrosion resistance, creep life etc. The silicon
carbide abrasive mixed dielectric fluid facilitates the bridging effect and it will minimize the insulating strength
of the dielectric fluid. The abrasive particle mixed into the dielectric fluid significantly affects the performance
of EDM. As a result, it improves the surface finish and the machining efficiency. The regression technique is
used to optimize the process parameter combination that yields desirable machining characteristics. The result
indicates that the significant parameters found are discharge current and abrasive particle concentration.
Keywords:- Surface roughness, Silicon carbide abrasive, Regression analysis, Dielectric fluid, Abrasive particle
size.
I. INTRODUCTION
EDM has been recognized as an excellent machining to obtain more accurate and complex shapes on
hard and brittle materials. However the machining process has limited application when there is high metal
removal and high surface quality is required. Advanced materials like super alloys, Die steel are having wide
spread industrial applications. Silicon carbide abrasive particles are mixed with the dielectric fluid to conduct
the experiments on D3 die steel. The discharge break down at the beginning will occur when the electrical field
density surpasses the breakdown resistance capacity then the discharge break down causes a short circuit
between the two abrasive particle takes place. The electric charges then leads to the discharge between the
phenomenon increases the sparking intensity leading to faster erosion from the work surface other abrasive
particles resulting in series discharge and discharge between the electrode and work piece take place. Thus it has
found that the addition of Silicon carbide abrasive particles increases the MRR and improves the surface finish
The purpose of the study is to find out the effect of Silicon carbide abrasive particles on the
performance of EDM for D3 Die steel and optimize the process parameters to develop mathematical model to
predict surface roughness, by investigating the most dominant variables among the nozzle flushing, discharge
current, duty cycle, pulse on time, abrasive particle concentration, abrasive particle size, and gain. The linier
regression technique is used to optimize the process parameters with the use of Minitab software. The
experiments are designed as per the Taguchi's orthogonal array and in this study the L18, mixed orthogonal
array is used for experimentation.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
The summary of the review of Literature is given as follows.
Pecas and Henrique’s(2003), carried out the work on Silicon powder mixed dielectric on EDM. They observed
that by addition of 2g/lit of silicon powder to the dielectric fluid the operating time and surface roughness
decreases. The average surface roughness depends on machining area. In this paper the machining time has a
greater effect on decreasing the surface roughness and it almost eliminates the undesirable discharge conditions
Y.F.Tzeng and C.Y.Lee(2001), investigated the effects of powder characteristics on electro discharge machining

III. EXPERIMENTAL SET UP
The abrasive mixed EDM system is developed to conduct the experiments on D3 die steel. The
dielectric circulation system is designed for 5 liters of dielectric fluid with micro pump for better circulation of
the abrasive particles in the dielectric fluid. The experiments were conducted on PNC-480 EDM. Magnets are
used to separate the abrasive particles from the debris of the machining. Stirrer is introduced to mix the abrasive
particles thoroughly with the dielectric fluid and to avoid the settling of the abrasive particles at the bottom of
the tank.
As per the orthogonal array L18, the experiments were carried out. The parameters selected are nozzle
flushing, pulse on time, discharge current, abrasive particle size, abrasive particle concentration, duty cycle,
and gain was taken as per the level design. In this type of process, Silicon carbide(SiC) abrasive particles are
mixed into the dielectric fluid. the electrode material selected is brass and work material is D3-Diesteel. When a
voltage is applied between the electrode and work piece, an electric field is created. The gap is maintained
between tool and work piece and is filled up with abrasive particles. The abrasive particles get energized and
move in a zigzag manner. The grains come close to each other and the inter locking between the other abrasive
particle takes place. The abrasive particles form a chain under the sparking zone. due to bridging effect the gap
voltage and insulating strength of the dielectric fluid decreases. Therefore very fast short circuit takes place and
early explosion in the gap. The series discharge takes place between the electrode and work piece, very fast
sparking takes place due to increase in frequency of discharge, which helps for faster erosion of metal from the
work piece.

3.2 Work piece and Abrasive material
AISI D3 Die steel was selected as work material. D3 die steel is an air hardening high carbon high
chromium tool steel. It displays excellent wear resistance, good dimensional stability and high compressive
strength. It is heat treatable and will offer a hardness in the rage 58-64 HRC. It is used in manufacturing of
blanking tools, thread rolling dies, drawing dies and pressing tools for the ceramics and cold rolls for multiple
roller strands. A typical chemical composition of AISI D3 die steel is C(2.10%), Si(0.30%), Cr(11.50%),
Mn(0.40%), Ni(0.311%).
Silicon carbide is one of the hardest abrasive material and it is a compound of silicon and carbide with
a chemical formula of SiC. The density of Silicon carbide is 3.21g/cm3 and melting point is 27000c and it is not
attacked by any acids or alkalis at 8000c and is able to be used up to 16000c. The high thermal conductivity
coupled with low thermal expansion and high strength give this material exceptional thermal shock. The Silicon
carbide is an attractive semiconductor material for high temperature electronic and electro-optic applications. It
is also used for stone polishing, rock polishing, engraving and grinding for non ferrous materials.
