The Otto cycle describes the thermodynamic processes that occur in a 4-stroke internal combustion engine. It consists of four stages: intake, compression, combustion (power), and exhaust. In the intake stroke, air-fuel mixture enters the cylinder. In compression, the mixture is compressed. In combustion, ignition causes the mixture to burn, expanding and producing power. In exhaust, burned gases are pushed out of the cylinder. The Otto cycle forms a closed loop on a pressure-volume diagram, with the area inside representing the work produced by the engine in each cycle.

This document discusses the reversed Carnot cycle, which is used in Carnot refrigerators and heat pumps. It consists of four processes: 1) adiabatic compression, 2) isothermal compression, 3) adiabatic expansion, and 4) isothermal expansion. This cycle operates in the counterclockwise direction on a temperature-entropy diagram. It is the most efficient refrigeration cycle possible between two temperature levels, as it achieves the highest theoretical coefficient of performance. However, it cannot be practically implemented due to the different speeds required for the adiabatic and isothermal processes.
Natural draught is produced by a chimney and provides ventilation for boiler systems. The height and diameter of a chimney can be calculated based on factors like flue gas temperature, ambient temperature, and air-fuel ratio. For maximum discharge of hot gases, the flue gas temperature should be slightly higher than ambient temperature. Chimneys provide advantages like no external power requirements but have limitations like low efficiency below 1%. Boiler performance is quantified by equivalent evaporation and efficiency, which allow standardization based on feed water temperature and pressure.
A combined cycle power plant generates electricity in two stages. First, a gas turbine burns fuel to drive a generator and produce electricity, with the exhaust heat recovered. This waste heat is then used to create steam to drive a steam turbine and generate additional electricity. Combined cycle power plants can achieve efficiencies as high as 55% and produce up to 50% more electricity than traditional simple-cycle plants from the same fuel. They have advantages of higher efficiency, lower emissions, and ability to run on different fuels, but also have higher costs and are less responsive than other power plant types.

The document also discusses the diesel cycle which models compression ignition engines and provides cycle calculations. Other topics covered include mean effective pressure, engine terminology, gas turbine components and cycles like the Brayton cycle.
The document summarizes key aspects of diesel engine cycles and their thermodynamics. It discusses:
1) The diesel engine cycle involves isentropic compression, constant pressure heat addition, isentropic expansion, and constant volume heat rejection. This is similar to but distinct from the Otto cycle used in gasoline engines.
2) The thermal efficiency of the diesel cycle depends on the compression ratio and cutoff ratio, with higher efficiencies achieved at higher compression ratios and cutoff ratios closer to 1.
3) Despite sometimes having lower compression ratios, diesel engines are typically more efficient than gasoline engines because they add less heat per cycle, allowing the engine to run at higher speeds to produce the same power output.

The document discusses Parson's turbine and the condition for maximum efficiency of a Parson's reaction turbine. It explains that in a Parson's turbine, the blade section and mean diameter are the same for fixed and moving blades. It also derives equations showing that for maximum efficiency, the ratio of absolute velocity of steam at the moving blade outlet to inlet (β) must be equal to the blade angle (α). This results in symmetrical velocity triangles and maximum work output from the turbine.

A steam turbine is a prime mover in which the potential energy of the steam is transformed into kinetic energy and later in its turn is transformed into the mechanical energy of rotation of the turbine shaft
There are two basic types of turbines: impulse and reaction turbines. Impulse turbines use nozzles to direct steam onto curved blades, deriving energy from the steam's kinetic energy. Reaction turbines have fixed and moving blades, with the steam's pressure and kinetic energy driving the moving blades. Most steam turbines use a mixture of impulse and reaction stages to maximize efficiency. Turbines are used widely in power plants, ships, aircraft engines and other applications to convert fluid energy into useful rotational work.

The document discusses high grade and low grade energy sources. High grade energy sources include mechanical, electrical, water, wind and tidal power which can be completely converted to work without loss. Low grade energy sources like heat can only partially be converted to work. Low grade energy consists of exergy (available energy) and anergy (unavailable energy). The maximum useful work obtainable from a heat source is called its availability or exergy. The minimum energy that must be rejected according to the second law of thermodynamics is called anergy. Availability reduces as the temperature difference between a system and its surroundings decreases.
The document presents information on a bootstrap air cooling system suitable for aircraft. It consists of two heat exchangers, a secondary compressor driven by a turbine, and uses ram air and compression to cool and circulate air. Ambient air is compressed by the main aircraft compressor then cooled in an air cooler before further compression and cooling. It is then expanded through a turbine to provide cooled air to the aircraft cabin. Advantages are that air is readily available, non-toxic, and pressures are low. A limitation is that it requires aircraft flight for ram air cooling and is not suitable for ground use without an additional fan.
This document presents information on the Rankine cycle. It contains the following key points:
1. The Rankine cycle converts heat into work through a closed loop that uses water as the working fluid. It generates about 90% of the world's electric power.
2. An ideal Rankine cycle involves isothermal and isobaric processes, while a real cycle involves non-reversible and isentropic compression and expansion.
3. Variations like the reheat cycle and regeneration cycle can improve the efficiency by reheating steam before the turbine or preheating feedwater, but increase costs.
The document discusses the ideal reheat Rankine cycle power plant system. It aims to reduce moisture content in steam by reheating it between turbine stages. This allows using higher boiler pressures without moisture issues in later turbine stages. Key points include reheat improving efficiency by about half compared to first reheat. Double reheat is common in supercritical pressure plants. Steam should not expand deep into the two-phase region before reheating. Optimum reheat pressure is one-fourth to one-fifth of maximum cycle pressure. Benefits include very high heat addition and efficiency. Disadvantages include increased material and initial costs. Sample problems calculate efficiency and mass flow rates for given ideal reheat cycles.
The Whitworth quick return mechanism is used in slotters to convert the rotary motion of an electric motor into reciprocating motion of the ram. It allows the return stroke of the ram to be faster than the cutting stroke. The mechanism uses a bull gear connected to a crank plate through an eccentrically mounted pin. As the bull gear rotates, the sliding movement of the crank pin along the crank plate's slot converts it into reciprocating motion of the connecting rod and ram. The return stroke angle is less than the cutting stroke angle, allowing the ram to move faster on its return. Quick return mechanisms are widely used in machines like shapers, screw presses, and saws.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
