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.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
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!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

12.1 AC Sources
In Chapter 10 we learned that changing magnetic flux could induce an emf according to
Faraday’s law of induction. In particular, if a coil rotates in the presence of a magnetic
field, the induced emf varies sinusoidally with time and leads to an alternating current
(AC), and provides a source of AC power. The symbol for an AC voltage source is
An example of an AC source is
V(t) = V0 sin(ωt), (12.1.1)
where the maximum value V0 is called the amplitude. The voltage varies between V and0
−V since a sine function varies between +1 and −1. A graph of voltage as a function of0
time is shown in Figure 12.1.1. The phase of the voltage source is φV =ωt, (the phase
constant is zero in Eq. (12.1.1)).
Figure 12.1.1 Sinusoidal voltage source
The sine function is periodic in time. This means that the value of the voltage at time t
will be exactly the same at a later time t′ = t + T where T is the period. The frequency,
f , defined as f = 1/T , has the unit of inverse seconds (s-1 ), or hertz ( Hz ). The angular
frequency is defined to be ω = 2πf
When a voltage source is connected to a RLC circuit, energy is provided to compensate
the energy dissipation in the resistor, and the oscillation will no longer damp out. The
oscillations of charge, current and potential difference are called driven or forced
oscillations.
After an initial “transient time,” an AC current will flow in the circuit as a response to the
driving voltage source. The current in the circuit is also sinusoidal,
12-2
4. I (t) = I 0 sin(ωt −φ), (12.1.2)
and will oscillate with the same angular frequency ω as the voltage source, has
amplitudeI 0 , phaseφI = ωt −φ , and phase constant φ that depends on the driving
angular frequency. Note that the phase constant is equal to the phase difference between
the voltage source and the current
Δφ ≡ φV − φI = ωt − (ωt − φ) = φ . (12.1.3)
12.2 AC Circuits with a Source and One Circuit Element
Before examining the driven RLC circuit, let’s first consider cases where only one circuit
element (a resistor, an inductor or a capacitor) is connected to a sinusoidal voltage source.
12.2.1 Purely Resistive Load
Consider a purely resistive circuit with a resistor connected to an AC generator with AC
source voltage given byV(t) = V0 sin(ωt), as shown in Figure 12.2.1. (As we shall see, a
purely resistive circuit corresponds to infinite capacitance C = ∞ and zero inductance
L= 0.)
Figure 12.2.1 A purely resistive circuit
We would like to find the current through the resistor,
IR (t) = IR0 sin(ωt −φR ) . (12.2.1)
Applying Kirchhoff’s loop rule yields
V(t) − IR (t)R = 0, (12.2.2)
where VR (t) = IR (t)R is the instantaneous voltage drop across the resistor. The
instantaneous current in the resistor is given by
12-3
5. IR (t) =V(t)
R
=V0 sin(ωt)= IR0sin(ωt). (12.2.3)
R
Comparing Eq. (12.2.3) with Eq. (12.2.1), we find that the amplitude is
IR0 =VR0
R
whereVR0 = V0 , and
=VR0 (12.2.4)
XR
XR = R . (12.2.5)
The quantity XR is called the resistive reactance, to be consistent with nomenclature that
will introduce shortly for capacitive and inductive elements, but it is just the resistance.
The key point to recognize is that the amplitude of the current is independent of the
driving angular frequency. BecauseφR = 0 , I t)R and V t)R are in phase with each
other, i.e. they reach their maximum or minimum values at the same time, the phase
constant is zero,
φR = 0 . (12.2.6)
The time dependence of the current and the voltage across the resistor is depicted in
Figure 12.2.2(a).

I t)R and V t)R
(b)
across the resistor. (b) Phasor
The behavior of I t)R and V t)R can also be represented with a phasor diagram, as
shown in Figure 12.2.2(b). A phasor is a rotating vector having the following properties;
(i) length: the length corresponds to the amplitude.
(ii) angular speed: the vector rotates counterclockwise with an angular speed ω.
12-4
6. (iii) projection: the projection of the vector along the vertical axis corresponds to the
value of the alternating quantity at time t.
We shall denote a phasor with an arrow above it. The phasor V has a constant
magnitude ofV . Its projection along the vertical direction is
R0
VR0 sin(ωt) , which is
equal to
R0
V t), the voltage drop across the resistor at time t . A similar interpretationR
applies toI R0 for the current passing through the resistor. From the phasor diagram, we
readily see that both the current and the voltage are in phase with each other.
The average value of current over one period can be obtained as:

Similarly, one may find the following relations useful when averaging over one period,

12.2.2 Purely Inductive Load
Consider now a purely inductive circuit with an inductor connected to an AC generator
with AC source voltage given by V(t) = V0 sin(ωt), as shown in Figure 12.2.3. As we
shall see below, a purely inductive circuit corresponds to infinite capacitance C = ∞ and
zero resistance R = 0 .
Figure 12.2.3 A purely inductive circuit
We would like to find the current in the circuit,
IL (t) = IL0 sin(ωt −φL ) . (12.2.15)
Applying the modified Kirchhoff’s rule for inductors, the circuit equation yields
dI

L

12-6
8. where we define VL (t) = LdIL / dt . Rearranging yields
dIL =V(t) =VL0 sin(ωt),
(12.2.17)
dt L L
where V =VL0 0 . Integrating Eq. (12.2.17), we find the current is
VL0
IL (t) = ∫dIL =
L ∫sin(ωt) dt =−VL0
ωL
cos(ωt) =VL0 sin(ωt − π / 2)
ωL ,(12.2.18)
= IL0sin(ωt −π / 2).
where we have used the trigonometric identity − cos(ωt) = sin(ωt − π / 2) . Comparing Eq.
(12.2.18) with Eq. (12.2.15), we find that the amplitude is
IL0 =VL0 =VL0 ,
(12.2.19)
ωL XL
where the inductive reactance, XL , is given by
XL =ωL. (12.2.20)
The inductive reactance has SI units of ohms ( Ω ), just like resistance. However, unlike
resistance, X L depends linearly on the angular frequency ω . Thus, the inductance
reactance to current flow increases with frequency. This is due to the fact that at higher
frequencies the current changes more rapidly than it does at lower frequencies. On the
other hand, the inductive reactance vanishes as ω approaches zero.
The phase constant, φL , can also be determined by comparing Eq. (12.2.18) to Eq.
(12.2.15), and is given by
φL = +π .
(12.2.21)

The current and voltage plots and the corresponding phasor diagram are shown in Figure

The current lags voltage by π / 2 in a purely inductive circuit
The word “lag” means that the plot of I t)L is shifted to the right of the plot of V t)L in
Figure 12.2.4 (a), whereas in the phasor diagram the phasor IL (t) is “behind” the phasor
forVL (t) as they rotate counterclockwise in Figure 12.2.4(b).
12.2.3 Purely Capacitive Load
Consider now a purely capacitive circuit with a capacitor connected to an AC generator
with AC source voltage given byV(t) = V0 sin(ωt). In the purely capacitive case, both
resistance R and inductance L are zero. The circuit diagram is shown in Figure 12.2.5.

12.3 The RLC Series Circuit
Consider now the driven series RLC circuit with V(t) = V0 sin(ωt +φ) shown in Figure
12.3.1.
Figure 12.3.1 Driven series RLC Circuit

12. We would like to find the current in the circuit,
I(t) = I0 sin(ωt) . (12.3.1)
Notice that we have added a phase constant φ to our previous expressions for V(t) and
I(t) when we were analyzing single element driven circuits. Applying Kirchhoff’s
modified loop rule, we obtain
V(t) −VR (t) −VL(t) −VC (t) = 0 . (12.3.2)
We can rewrite Eq. (12.3.2) using VR (t) = IR , VL(t) = LdI / dt , and VC (t)=Q/C as
LdI + IR + Q
=V0sin(ωt +φ). (12.3.3)

Differentiate Eq. (12.3.3), using I = +dQ / dt , and divide through by L , yields what is

We shall find the amplitude, I0 , of the current, and phase constant φ which is the phase
shift between the voltage source and the current by examining the phasors associates with
the three circuit elements R , L and C .
The instantaneous voltages across each of the three circuit elements R , L , and C has a
different amplitude and phase compared to the current, as can be seen from the phasor
diagrams shown in Figure 12.3.2.

The relationship between different voltage amplitudes is depicted in Figure 12.3.3(b).
From Figure 12.3.3, we see that the amplitude satisfies
V0 =|V0 |=|VR0 +VL0 +

VC 0 |=V + (VL0 − VC0 )2

Therefore the amplitude of the current is

It is crucial to note that the maximum amplitude of the AC voltage sourceV is not equal0
to the sum of the maximum voltage amplitudes across the three circuit elements:
V ≠V +V +V (12.3.11)0 R0 L0 C0
This is due to the fact that the voltages are not in phase with one another, and they reach
their maxima at different times.
12.3.1 Impedance
We have already seen that the inductive reactanceX L =ωL, and the capacitive reactance
XC =1/ωC play the role of an effective resistance in the purely inductive and capacitive
circuits, respectively. In the series RLC circuit, the effective resistance is the impedance,
defined as
Z= XR2 +(XL −XC)2 (12.3.12)
The relationship between Z , XR , XL , and XC can be represented by the diagram shown
in Figure 12.3.4: XL − XC
Figure 12.3.4 Vector representation of the relationship between Z ,XR ,X L , andX C
The impedance also has SI units of ohms. In terms of Z , the current (Eqs. (12.3.1) and
(12.3.7)) may be rewritten as

12.3.2 Resonance
In a driven RLC series circuit, the amplitude of the current (Eq. (12.3.8)) has a
maximum value, a resonance, which occurs at the resonant angular frequencyω0 .
Because the amplitude I0 of the current is inversely proportionate to Z (Eq. (12.3.13),
the maximum of I0 occurs when Z is minimum. This occurs at an angular frequency ω0
such thatX L =X ,C
ω0 L =

Therefore, the resonant angular frequency is

frequency for two driven RLC circuits, with different values of resistance,R2 > R1 is

resistance.

18. 12.4.1 Width of the Peak
The peak has a line width. One way to characterize the width is to define Δω =ω −ω ,+ −
where ω± are the values of the driving angular frequency such that the power is equal to
half its maximum power at resonance. This is called full width at half maximum, as
illustrated in Figure 12.4.2. The width Δω increases with resistance R .

12.5 Transformer
A transformer is a device used to increase or decrease the AC voltage in a circuit. A
typical device consists of two coils of wire, a primary and a secondary, wound around an
iron core, as illustrated in Figure 12.5.1. The primary coil, with N turns, is connected to1
alternating voltage source V1(t) . The secondary coil has N2 turns and is connected to a
load with resistanceR . The way transformers operate is based on the principle that an2
alternating current in the primary coil will induce an alternating emf on the secondary
coil due to their mutual inductance.
12-18
20. Figure 12.5.1 A transformer
In the primary circuit, neglecting the small resistance in the coil, Faraday’s law of
induction implies
dΦ
V=−N B , (12.5.1)1 1
dt
whereΦ B is the magnetic flux through one turn of the primary coil. The iron core, which
extends from the primary to the secondary coils, serves to increase the magnetic field
produced by the current in the primary coil and ensures that nearly all the magnetic flux
through the primary coil also passes through each turn of the secondary coil. Thus, the
voltage (or induced emf) across the secondary coil is
dΦ
V =−N B (12.5.2)2 2
dt
In the case of an ideal transformer, power loss due to Joule heating can be ignored, so
that the power supplied by the primary coil is completely transferred to the secondary coil,
I V =I V (12.5.3)1 1 2 2
In addition, no magnetic flux leaks out from the iron core, and the fluxΦ B through each
turn is the same in both the primary and the secondary coils. Combining the two
expressions, we are lead to the transformer equation,
V N2
V
= 2
N
(12.5.4)

By combining the two equations above, the transformation of currents in the two coils
may be obtained as
I1 =V2
V1
I2 =
N2
N1
I2 . (12.5.5)
12-19
21. Thus, we see that the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage is determined by the
turn ratioN /N. IfN >N, thenV >V , which means that the output voltage in the2 1 2 1 2 1
second coil is greater than the input voltage in the primary coil. A transformer with
N >N is called a step-up transformer. On the other hand, if N <N, thenV <V, and2 1
the output voltage is smaller than the input. A transformer with
2 1 2 1
N <N is called a step-2 1
down transformer.
12.6 Parallel RLC Circuit
Consider the parallel RLC circuit illustrated in Figure 12.6.1. The AC voltage source is
V(t) = V0 sin(ωt).
Figure 12.6.1 Parallel RLC circuit.
Unlike the series RLC circuit, the instantaneous voltages across all three circuit elements
R , L , and C are the same, and each voltage is in phase with the current through the
resistor. However, the currents through each element will be different.
In analyzing this circuit, we make use of the results discussed in Sections 12.2 - 12.4.
The current in the resistor is
IR (t) =V(t) =V0
sin(ωt) = IR0 sin(ωt). (12.6.1)
R R
where IR0 =V0 / R . The voltage across the inductor is

22. whereI L0 =V X0 / L andX L =ωL is the inductive reactance.
Similarly, the voltage across the capacitor is

VC (t)=V0 sin(ωt)=Q(t)/C, which implies
IC (t) =

XC
where IC0 =V0 / XC and XC
=1/ωC is the capacitive reactance.
Using Kirchhoff’s junction rule, the total current in the circuit is simply the sum of all
three currents.
I(t) = IR (t) + IL(t) + IC(t)
(12.6.5)
= IR0sin(ωt)+ IL0sin(ωt −π / 2)+ IC0sin(ωt +π / 2).
The currents can be represented with the phasor diagram shown in Figure 12.6.2.

From the phasor diagram, the phasors satisfy the vector addition condition,

given by I (t) = I 0 sin(ωt −φ), whereI 0 is the amplitude and φ is the phase
constant (phase difference between the voltage source and the current). For simple
circuit with only one element (a resistor, a capacitor or an inductor) connected to
the voltage source, the results are as follows:

27. 12.8 Problem-Solving Tips
In this chapter, we have seen how phasors provide a powerful tool for analyzing the AC
circuits. Below are some important tips:
1. Keep in mind the phase relationships for simple circuits
(1) For a resistor, the voltage and the phase are always in phase.
(2) For an inductor, the current lags the voltage by 90° .
(3) For a capacitor, the current leads the voltage by 90° .
2. When circuit elements are connected in series, the instantaneous current is the same for
all elements, and the instantaneous voltages across the elements are out of phase. On
the other hand, when circuit elements are connected in parallel, the instantaneous
voltage is the same for all elements, and the instantaneous currents across the elements
are out of phase.
3. For series connection, draw a phasor diagram for the voltages. The amplitudes of the
voltage drop across all the circuit elements involved should be represented with
phasors. In Figure 12.8.1 the phasor diagram for a series RLC circuit is shown for
both the inductive caseX

angular frequency isω =1/ LC , and the power delivered to the resistor is a0
maximum.
5. For parallel connection, draw a phasor diagram for the currents. The amplitudes of the
currents across all the circuit elements involved should be represented with phasors. In
