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.

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.
Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

Coal India Limited (C.I.L) – A Maharatna Company
C.I.L at a Glance
To take care of energy requirements of India, the Central Government of India did
a nationalization of coal industry in the 1970s. By 1972, it acquired most of the coking coal
mines in India (226 coking coal mines) through Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL). Similarly,
it acquired all 711 non-coking coal mines in India through Coal Mines Authority Limited
(CMAL). To consolidate the businesses of both coking and non-coking coal under one entity, a
formal holding company in the form of Coal India Limited was formed in November 1975 to
manage both the companies. Government of India held 100% of its shares from 1975 till 2010.
Coal India Limited (CIL) is an Indian state-controlled coal mining company headquartered
in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. It is the largest coal producer company in the world and
contributes around 81% of coal production in India
Operations:-
CIL is the largest coal producing company in the world and operates through 81 mining
areas in eight states in India.
It has 470 coal mines out of which 164 are open cast, 275 are underground and 31 are
mixed mines. Underground mines contributed to 8.35% of production
CIL further operates 17 coal washeries, out of which 12 are for coking coal and 5 are for
non-coking coal. It also manages 200 other establishments like workshops, hospitals etc.
Subsidiaries: Coal India produces coal through seven of its wholly owned subsidiaries.
It’s another wholly owned subsidiaryCentral Mine Planning and Design Institute,
CMPDIL carries out the exploration activities for other subsidiaries. CMPDIL also
provides technical and consulting services to it and to third party clients for coal
exploration, mining, processing and related activities.
CIL also has a wholly owned subsidiary in Mozambique, Coal India Africana Limitada
(CIAL) for pursuing coal mining opportunities in that country.

Northern Coalfields Limited (N.C.L) – A Mini Ratna
Company
Northern Coalfields Limited was formed in November 1985 as a subsidiary company of Coal
India Limited. It’s headquarter is located in Singrauli, Dist. Singrauli (M.P).Singrauli Coalfields,
covering total area of about 2201 sq.km attracted little attention earlier and remained
undeveloped on account of lack of communication, even though coal appears to have been
discovered, as early as 1840, and its mining was done near Kota, Parari and Nawanagar
sometime before 1857. The coal was then transported by bullock carts and camels to Mirzapur
for use in steamers on the Ganges. North-eastern part of the coalfield was selected for detailed
geological survey in 1958 during second plan period in independent India. Initially Geological
Survey of India and later Indian Bureau of Mines drilled bore holes to explore this region.
The exploration carried out by GSI/NCDC/CMPDI has proved abundant resource of power grade
coal in the area.
Operation:-
The area of Singrauli Coalfields is about 2202 Sq.km. The coalfield can be divided into
two basins, viz. Moher sub-basin (312 Sq.km) and Singrauli Main basin (1890 Sq.km).
Coal is produced through opencast mining.
Coal resources from NCL in conjunction with easy water resource from Govind Ballabh
Pant Sagar make this region an ideal location for high capacity pithead power plants. The
coal supplies from NCL produce about 10515 MW of electricity from pithead power
plants of:-
1. National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).
2. Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd. (UPRVUNL).
3. Renupower division of M/s. Hindalco Industries.
The region is now called the "power capital of India". The ultimate capacity of power
generation of these power plants is 13295 MW and NCL is fully prepared to meet the
increased demand of coal for the purpose.
11. Page 11 of 39
In addition, NCL is also supplying coal to power plants of
1. Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd.
2. Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB).
3. Haryana State Electricity Board.
NCL is engaged in mining activities, which has got unified Integrated Management
System (IMS) complying with Standard ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS
18001:2007 for simultaneous management of economic, environmental and occupational
health and safety.

Types of Coal Mining Method
Open Cast Mining-Open-pit or open-cast mining is a surface mining technique of
extracting rock or minerals from the earth by their removal from an open pit or borrow. Open-pit
mines are used when deposits of commercially useful minerals or rocks are found near the
surface; that is, where the overburden (surface material covering the valuable deposit) is
relatively thin or the material of interest is structurally unsuitable for tunneling (as would be the
case for sand, cinder, and gravel). For minerals that occur deep below the surface—where the
overburden is thick or the mineral occurs as veins in hard rock—underground mining methods
extract the valued material.
Ideal conditions for Opencast Mining are:-
Thickness of coal seam -5m
Coal without stone bands
Free from surface structures or features
Availability of perfect place for dumping
Preferably no forest land
Coal is produced through opencast mining (Method of Work is Dragline-cum-Shovel Dumper
combination mining) in Northern Coal Fields Limited because of following mining and geology
condition:-
OB thickness : 10m (at outcrop) 180m (N-E part)
Avg. Stripping ratio : 2:60

Common activities Undertaken in Open-pit Mining
Above fig. reveals the use of different types of Heavy Earth Moving Equipment (HEMM)
used in coal mining activities.
These earth movers play a vital role in surface mining process, primarily to move earth and
minerals in large earthmoving and mining projects. Some of this equipment finds it place in other
applications, however, and the use of bulldozers and articulated trucks on road and highway
projects are just a couple of examples.

10.Horizontal directional drill
It is a machine that uses a steerable cutting head attached to the end of a drill string for
creating a bore through the earth in a horizontal direction
NOTE 1 Drilling can include fluid injection through the drill string to the cutting head,
tracking of the bore by use of sensors or a transponder near the cutting head and subsequent
enlargement of the bore by back reaming.
NOTE 2 These machines typically apply force to the drill string using a drill frame parallel
to, or inclined up to, 30° relative to the operating earth surface.

Some Important Parts of HEMM
1. Engine
An engine is a device which transforms the chemical energy of a fuel in to thermal
energy and uses this energy to produce mechanical work.
Heat engines can be classified into two types:-
a) External combustion engine - In an External Combustion Engine the product of
combustion of air and fuel transfer heat to a second fluid which is the working fluid
of the cycle. Example: - Steam Engine, Steam Turbine Plant.
b) Internal combustion engine - In an Internal Combustion Engine the product of
combustion are directly the motive fluid. Example:-Petrol, Gas, Diesel Engines, Jet
engines & Rockets are also internal Combustion Engines.

Engine Specifications of different HEMM used in Northern Coal Fields Limited are given
below:-
Engine is the prime mover of equipment. Utmost care is hence required to keep the
engine in Order so as to roll the equipment on the road.
Air
Cooling
Fuel
Lube Oil
Synchronized functioning of all these systems will lead to Optimum output and life of the
engine.

Air Intake System
A well designed air intake system provides cool, clean air for combustion while minimizing inlet
air pressure drop to the turbocharger. Normally, this can be accomplished by using engine-
mounted air cleaners, but some applications require intake air to be brought in through ducts
from outside the engine room. There may also be requirements for special filtration and ducting
due to fumes, dust, airborne mists, ambient temperature or even altitude. These requirements
should be carefully considered because the inlet restriction that accompanies increased filtration
and ducting can cause the
engine to be derated and
turbocharger life reduced.
Components of Air System
• Air filter & housing
• Air inlet piping
• Turbocharger
• CAC (Charged Air
Cooler)
• Intake manifold
• Cylinder
components

Cooling System
All internal combustion engines produce heat as a byproduct of combustion and friction. This
heat can reach temperatures up to 1925°C (3500°F) and can have catastrophic affects on engine
components. Pistons, valves and cylinder heads must be cooled to reduce the risk of detonation.
Cylinder temperatures need to be controlled so lubricating oil can maintain a protective film on
the cylinder surfaces and the lubricating oil should be cooled to ensure its integrity. In addition to
overheating, overcooling can have negative effects on the engine. Overcooling can reduce engine
performance and shorten the engine’s service life.
The basic components are:-
The coolant
Water pump
Engine oil
Cooler
Coolant
temperature
regulators
Radiator fan and
the radiator

Fuel System
The fuel system is a major component of the diesel engine. According to the requirement of the
diesel engine working condition modes, its function is to gush out the right amount clean fuel the
combustion chamber within regular hours, with the proper atomized state, causing the advantage
of mist to form and burn.
The complete fuel-injection system is comprised of:
• Fuel tank
• Valve
• Primary fuel filter
• Water separator
• Fuel pump
• Secondary fuel filter
• Fuel line kit
• Nozzle assembly
• Fuel cooler

Lube Oil System
An internal combustion engine would not run for even a few minutes if the moving parts
were allowed to make metal-to-metal contact. The heat generated due to the tremendous
amounts of friction would melt the metals, leading to the destruction of the engine. To
prevent this, all moving parts ride on a thin film of oil that is pumped between all the moving
parts of the engine.
Function of lubricating system:-
One purpose is to lubricate the bearing surfaces.
The other purpose is to cool the bearings by absorbing the friction generated heat.

2. Torque convertor
A torque converter is mounted on the input side of the transmission gear train and
connected to a drive plate. The drive plate is used to connect the converter to the
crankshaft flywheel flange of an engine. The torque converter is filed (from 50% to 80%)
with an automatic transmission fluid, and transmits the engine torque to the transmission.
Functions of flywheel are as follows:-
It can either multiply the torque generated by the engine or function as a fluid
coupling.
It also serves as the engine flywheel to smooth out engine rotation as its inertia
helps to maintain crankshaft rotation between piston power pulses.
It tends to absorb torsion vibration from the engine and drive through the fluid
medium since there is no direct mechanical connection through the converter.
The torque converter has three major components: the pump impeller; the turbine runner;
and the stator. The impeller is integrated with the converter case, many curved vanes
being radially mounted inside. A guide ring is installed on the inner edges of the vanes to
provide a path for smooth fluid flow.

3. Tires of HEMM
Charles Goodyear invented vulcanized rubber in 1844 that was later used for tires. In
1888, John Dunlop invented the air-filled or pneumatic tires; however, his were for
bicycles. In 1895, André Michelin was the first person to use pneumatic tires on an
automobile, however, not successfully.
A tire is a composite, in other words, an inseparable assembly of materials with very
different properties, whose manufacture demands great precision

1- A layer of airtight synthetic rubber.
This layer is found inside the tyre and functions as the modern equivalent of the inner
tube.
2 – The casing ply.
This casing is composed of fine textile fiber cords, laid down on straight lines and
sandwiched in rubber. These cords are a key element in the structure of a tyre and enable
it to resist pressure. In each ply of a car tyre, there are about 1400 cords, each of which
can resist a force of 15 kg.
3- The lower bead area.
Its role is to transmit engine and braking torque from the rim of the tyre through to the
contact patch.
4 – The bead wires
They help to hold the tire onto the rim. They can bear a load of up to 1800 kg without the
risk of breakage.
5 – The supple rubber sidewalls
They help protect the tire from shocks that could damage the casing, e.g. Minor shocks
against pavements, potholes, etc. There is hard, protection rubber where the tire joins the
rim.
6- Bracing plies.
Reinforced with very fine, very resistant steel cords, they are crossed obliquely and stuck
together. The cords cross the casing cords to form rigid triangles. This is known as
triangulation and makes the crown rigid. The plies encircle the entire crown of the tyre
and perform a very complex role:
They must be sufficiently rigid around the tyre’s circumference so that they aren’t
stretched by centrifugal force, thus controlling the diameter of the tyre under all
conditions.
7 - The radial plies.
These plies help to retain a stable profile under the effect of speed and also help to reduce
heating up. They are armed with cords, generally of nylon, fitted in single strands or in
bands perpendicular to the bracing plies around the tyre’s circumference so as not to
stretch under centrifugal force.
39. Page 39 of 39
8 - The tread
It is laid over the bracing plies. This is the patterned part of the tyre which will be in
contact with the road. The tread in the contact patch must be able to resist very significant
stresses. The treat compound must grip on all types of surface; resist wear and abrasion
and heat up as little as possible.
