Carbon-carbon composites are composites with carbon fiber reinforcement and a carbon matrix. They offer high strength and can withstand very high temperatures up to 3000°C. The fibers and matrix are both carbon, resulting in low density, high thermal conductivity, and strength retention even at elevated temperatures. However, carbon-carbon composites also have some limitations like high fabrication costs and poor oxidation resistance.
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess significantly improved properties including highspecific strength; specific modulus, damping capacity and good wear resistance compared to unreinforced alloys. There has been an increasing interest in composites containing low density and low cost reinforcements. Among various discontinuous dispersoids used, fly ash is one of the most inexpensive and low density reinforcement available in large quantities as solid waste by-product during combustion of coal in thermal power plants. Hence, composites with fly ash as reinforcement are likely to overcome the cost barrier for wide spread applications in automotive and small engine applications.
Acoustic Emission (AE) refers to the generation of transient elastic waves produced by a sudden redistribution of stress in a material. When a structure is subjected to an external stimulus (change in pressure, load, or temperature), localized sources trigger the release of energy, in the form of stress waves, which propagate to the surface and are recorded by sensors. With the right equipment and setup, motions on the order of picometers (10 -12 m) can be identified. Sources of AE vary from natural events like earthquakes and rockbursts to the initiation and growth of cracks, slip and dislocation movements, melting, twinning, and phase transformations in metals. In composites, matrix cracking and fiber breakage and debonding contribute to acoustic emissions. AE’s have also been measured and recorded in polymers, wood, and concrete, among other materials.

It involves defining the test section dimensions and desired flow velocity, designing the wind tunnel components like the nozzle, diffusers, settling chamber based on the test section, calculating pressure losses throughout the components, determining overall pressure loss and flow velocity, and selecting appropriate fans to match the design. Key components are the nozzle, diffusers, settling chamber with honeycombs and screens, and corners. Design factors for these include area ratios, lengths, hydraulic diameters, porosity and Reynolds number.
Smart materials are designed materials that have one or more properties that can be significantly changed in a controlled fashion by external stimuli, such as stress, temperature, moisture, pH, electric or magnetic fields.

The document discusses materials used for aircrafts and how they have evolved over time. It begins by providing background on the Indian aviation industry and objectives for aircraft materials such as maximizing strength while minimizing mass. Various materials are then examined, including wood in early planes, steel and duralumin in early 20th century planes, aluminum and titanium in subsonic and supersonic planes, and increasing use of composites such as fiberglass and carbon fiber composites in modern planes like the Boeing 787 and India's Tejas aircraft.

When an aerodynamic body moves through air faster than the speed of sound, shock waves are generated ahead of the body. At subsonic speeds, sound waves propagate outward in circles around the moving body. But at supersonic speeds, the body moves faster than the speed of the sound waves it generates, so the sound waves are always behind the body. As pressure waves accumulate ahead of a supersonic body, they can merge into shock waves. Shock waves instantaneously compress the gas by obtaining kinetic energy from the upstream flow, heating the gas above isentropic compression temperatures and increasing entropy through an irreversible process.
This document outlines a student's workplan to study the fracture of functionally graded materials.

CFD Based Investigation on Effects of Compression Surface At Fighter Aircraft...IJERA Editor
The purpose of the intake of an aircraft is to supply the engine with a proper airflow during various flight conditions. A good intake design is characterized by providing high pressure recovery and low distortion. Therefore it is essential to divert as much of the boundary layer as possible since it is a factor which affect the quality of the airflow. On aircrafts with engines installed on wing pylons, which is the most common configuration on transport and passenger aircraft, the inlet is short and leads directly to the engine and the pressure recovery is good. For engines that are integrated with the body, for example on fighter aircrafts, the airflow is travelling along the body of the aircraft before it reaches the air intake. A boundary layer builds up along the body, something which is not desirable, especially in the part of the flow that supplies the engines. The pressure recovery is lower because of this, something that has a negative effect upon engine thrust. There are, however, ways to prevent the boundary layer from entering the inlet, or at least to minimize the amount that does. It is common to use a boundary layer diverter. It affects the aircraft performance in so many ways. So, it needs some other provision or technology to overcome intake problem in fighter crafts. In the present work, a well-designed compression surface is installed in the entry of the engine intake to redirect boundary layer and create shock wave for getting desired flow in the compressor (When a flow crosses a shock wave, its velocity got reduced, which in term increases pressure). The compression surface is placed at the entry of the diffuser to perform the above mentioned operation. The work extents to, a comparative investigation is proposed for with and without compression surface. ANSYS-Fluent is a commercial CFD code which will be used for performing the simulation and the simulation configuration contains two different Mach speeds (0.7 & 2) with three different angles of attacks (0°, 7.5° and 15°). The simulation results are evaluated to find out pressure recovery in the engine intake between with and without compression surface.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
