Aerodynamic analysis and optimization of wind deflector in a Commercial load ...AM Publications
In the field of commercial goods transport, trucks have an important place. One of the main problems faced by truck manufacturers is the Air resistance associated with the highway running. Since trucks have a large frontal area and the presence of a trailer also leads to the truck experiencing significant resistance which has to be overcome. This can be reduced through the use of wind deflectors. A well-designed wind deflector can reduce wind resistance to a certain extent. Optimizing the angle of the wind deflector also causes reduced drag force acting on the vehicle, thereby reducing the fuel intake. Here the initial drag of 2050 N is reduced to 1688.453 N using a 1.75 m wind deflector at 45 degree angle resulting in the reduction of drag by 17.6%.

A high-Speed Communication System is based on the Design of a Bi-NoC Router, ...DharmaBanothu
The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs

Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.
Road construction is not as easy as it seems to be, it includes various steps and it starts with its designing and
structure including the traffic volume consideration. Then base layer is done by bulldozers and levelers and after
base surface coating has to be done. For giving road a smooth surface with flexibility, Asphalt concrete is used.
Asphalt requires an aggregate sub base material layer, and then a base layer to be put into first place. Asphalt road
construction is formulated to support the heavy traffic load and climatic conditions. It is 100% recyclable and
saving non renewable natural resources.
With the advancement of technology, Asphalt technology gives assurance about the good drainage system and with
skid resistance it can be used where safety is necessary such as outsidethe schools.
The largest use of Asphalt is for making asphalt concrete for road surfaces. It is widely used in airports around the
world due to the sturdiness and ability to be repaired quickly, it is widely used for runways dedicated to aircraft
landing and taking off. Asphalt is normally stored and transported at 150’C or 300’F temperature

INTRODUCTION
Airlines that use same aircraft has homogenous fleet.
Example of fleet homogeneity: the best example of fleet
homogeneity is low cost carriers which we
The Ryanair airline has only one kind of aircraft which
is Boeing 73H who served all the destinations.
Technically it has not possible for flag carrier airlines because
they have served short, medium and long hauls. Aircrafts that
used by airlines for short haul are not feasible to use it for long
haul.
Why homogeneity?
Low maintenance cost.
Pilot training is easy.
Buy aircrafts from secondary market.

Emirates 6 256 140
British airline 26 273 183
Lufthansa airline 16 293 220
American airlines 26 956 350
Oman airline 12 51 30
Turkish airline 12 277 302
Qatar airline 11 212 150
Etihad airline 12 112 84
✔These airlines have been selected for the following reasons;
• Easy access to data (annual reports includes maintenance cost, fuel cost and other valuable
information)
• OAG database (all the research is based on 2017 (Jan-Dec) flights of 8 airlines)
5. Master thesis on “Fleet homogeneity”
• How homogenous the fleet of
these airlines are?
• If there is a heterogeneity in
fleet. What will be the solution
to make the fleet homogenous?
6. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This research is based on the following variables which
helps us to understand how much the airlines fleet is
homogenous.
➢ cost per available seat kilometer
➢ Number of frequencies
➢ Average stage length
➢ HHI index
➢ Number of seats
➢ Correlations
➢ Type of aircrafts
➢ Fuel capacity
➢ Range of aircrafts
➢ Age of aircraft
➢ Gap analysis
Fleet homogeneity is based on categorization
of distances. Categorization is based on short
haul (0-1500 km), medium short haul (1501-
4000 km), medium long haul (4001-5500) and
long haul (greater than 5501) respectively.
these categories are divided so that we can
see how airlines used their aircraft for
different distances.
Master thesis on “Fleet homogeneity”
7. VARIABLE USED IN THE RESEARCH
Master thesis on “Fleet homogeneity”
Number of frequencies: how many times aircrafts s used for the routes in a specific range.
Available seat miles (ASM) or Available seat kilometers (ASK) airline passenger carrying
capacity. It is equal to the number of seats available multiplied by the number of miles or
kilometers flown.
ASK=DISTANCE*FREQUANCY*SEATS
“The Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) is a commonly accepted measure of market
concentration. It is calculated by squaring the market share of each firm competing in a market
and then summing the resulting numbers. It can range from close to zero to 10,000”.
Average stage length: average stage length is calculated on the basis of available seat and
distance covered by an aircraft.
Number of seats: airlines have the right o customize the aircrafts so different airlines using
same aircrafts could have different seat capacity.
Fuel capacity: possible suggestions are based on fuel efficiency and number of seats aircraft have.

The following extract of the bullet-points which have been published in a presentation within the IATA 2nd Airline
Cost Conference (ACC) in 2014 summarize the main points of cost savings, and also show up further cost saving
potentials for an (low cost) airline.
Aircraft Costs

In our case:
Correlations: (Fuel cost, Fleet age and Maintenance cost)
CORRELATION BETWEEN FLEET AGE AND FUEL = APPROX 0.45
CORRELATION BETWEEN FLEET AGE AND MAINTENANCE COST = 0.79
16. Gap Analysis
Master thesis on “Fleet homogeneity”
• The aim of gap analysis was to check how
Airlines would change their aircrafts to reach
homogeneity and what incentives will they
get in order to reach homogenous in term of
manufacturer.
• This incentives would be in term of seat
capacity and fuel consumption.
• We will also see that what is the reason of
heterogeneity?
Factors to be considered:
1. Average age of an aircraft
2. Number of seats
3. Fuel consumption (gal/hr.)

Douglas = 3.6%, De Havilland Canada DHC = 0.03% )
• DH8 has been grounded by American airline.
• Because of the greater differences in seat and fuel homogeneity is not achievable.
1500-4000 km (Airbus = 42.4% , Boeing = 42.2%, Embraer = 10%, Canadair Regional Jet = 2.7, McDonnell
Douglas = 2.7% )
• For this haul this haul the shares of Boeing and airbuses are same so its not possible to achieve
homogeneity.
• More over, there is a seat gap and fuel gap between Embraer, Canadair and McDonnell with Boeing and
airbus.

21. SUMMARY OF OTHER AIRLINES
0-1500 km:
• Qatar airways, British: No replacement
• Oman airways: there is an alternatives of A330 which is 787.
• Turkish airways have alternative of A320, A321, A322 AND A333.
their average ages are high and even the new alternatives Boeing
73H, 73J, 788 and 789 has consume less fuel and have the advantage
of more seat capacity.
• Lufthansa airways: 744 has the alternative of A346. consumes less
fuel and has 10 seats more. While CR90, E90 AND E95 a have less
seat capacity which is usually used for short hauls.
4000-5500 km:
• Qatar airways, British: No replacement
• Oman airways, there is an alternatives of A330 which is 787.
• Turkish airways have alternative of A332 and A333 is 788 and 789
their average ages are high and even the new alternative Boeing has
consume less fuel and have the advantage of more seat capacity.
While no alternative of A343
• Lufthansa airways: 744 and 74 has the alternative of A346 and A359.
consumes less fuel and has 10 and 5 seats more respectively. So we
can totally make this haul homogenous for Lufthansa.
1500-4000 km:
• Qatar airways, British: No replacement
• Oman airways, there is an alternatives of A330 which is 787.
• Turkish airways has an alternative of 73G. The best alternative
for this aircraft is A319, consumes less fuel and has the
advantage of having 4 more seats.
• Lufthansa airways: 744 has the alternative of A346. consumes
less fuel and has 10 seats more. While CR90, E90 AND E95 a
have less seat capacity which is usually used for short hauls.
>5500 km:
• British, Oman airways: No alternative.
• Qatar airways: there is an alternative of A332 and A346. the
alternative is Boeing 767 and 77w. Consumes 128 gal/hr. and
132 gal/hr. less fuel as compared to the A223 and A346.
• Turkish airways have alternative of A320, A321, A322 AND
A333. their average ages are high and even the new alternative
Boeing has consume less fuel and have the advantage of more

28. Master thesis on “Fleet homogeneity”
CONCLUSION
• Fleet homogeneity exists in airline industry. those airlines who are serving short, medium and long hauls.
for example: to serve long destinations E90 with 80 seats aircraft is not possible to serve even tough they will have
full fuel.
• Airlines are different type of aircrafts in order to reduce fuel consumption and seat capacity as our research
described (gap analysis).
• There are also many airlines who are using old aircrafts which consumes more fuel, they should replaced it by
the new one and make the system more homogenous.
• Mostly airlines from middle east used long haul aircraft like A380-8 for short hauls.
Reason: their one of the best served destinations are from Asia (Sialkot, Pakistan) and Indian regions. Emirates have
just started A380 to Pakistan because of the high load.
• American airlines are using 24 type of aircrafts for short haul and their average stage length is about 1600 km.
which chows that American airlines are connected more within American (intercity) as compared to
intercontinental.
