Design of Self Regulating Pressure Valve using Transient Finite Element AnalysisIRJET Journal
This document describes the design of a self-regulating pressure valve using finite element analysis. The valve aims to regulate pressure in a system by mechanically controlling fluid flow. It uses a spring-loaded restrictor plate that closes off flow as a critical pressure is reached. The analysis determines appropriate material, plate thickness, spring stiffness, and other dimensions to withstand loads from fluid pressure and flow. Finite element modeling and steady-state analysis are performed to test the design and ensure stresses remain below yield levels. The goal is to create a purely mechanical system with an automatic response to safely regulate pressure within a specified range.

The document summarizes modifications made to a two-stage centrifugal compressor to convert it into a single-stage compressor suitable for laboratory testing. Key modifications included replacing the refrigerant fluid with air, installing an external drive motor instead of the internal hermetic motor, and adding static pressure taps to the vaneless diffuser and volute casing. Experimental results showed the compressor was operating off-design, with the vaneless diffuser and volute being too large for the mass flow rates tested. Pressure maps revealed distortion in the diffuser and volute due to the tongue region, reducing stage performance.
The flow meter clamps onto a pipe, with two flow sensing probes projecting into the pipe through 3/16- in. drilled holes. It seals directly to the pipe; no cutting or welding is required for installation. Because each flow meter is made and calibrated for a specific size of pipe, the display indicates flow directly, with no setup or adjustment.
IRJET- Experimental Investigation of Flow through Perforated Plate in Conical...IRJET Journal
This document describes an experimental investigation of flow through a perforated plate inside a conical diffuser. The goal is to improve the axial flow and achieve higher static pressure rise without total pressure loss.

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all
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.
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

The main objective of a smart irrigation system is to optimize water efficiency, minimize expenses, and foster the adoption of sustainable water management methods. This paper conducts a systematic risk assessment by exploring the key components/assets and their functionalities in the smart irrigation system. The crucial role of sensors in gathering data on soil moisture, weather patterns, and plant well-being is emphasized in this system. These sensors enable intelligent decision-making in irrigation scheduling and water distribution, leading to enhanced water efficiency and sustainable water management practices. Actuators enable automated control of irrigation devices, ensuring precise and targeted water delivery to plants. Additionally, the paper addresses the potential threat and vulnerabilities associated with smart irrigation systems. It discusses limitations of the system, such as power constraints and computational capabilities, and calculates the potential security risks. The paper suggests possible risk treatment methods for effective secure system operation. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the significant benefits of implementing smart irrigation systems, including improved water conservation, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, based on the security analysis conducted, the paper recommends the implementation of countermeasures and security approaches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity and reliability of the system. By incorporating these measures, smart irrigation technology can revolutionize water management practices in agriculture, promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and safeguarding against potential security threats.

2. What is Emitting Pipe ?
Emitting Pipe play a key role in drip irrigation systems. Emitting pipes are manufactured from
virgin special grade polyethylene. Resistant to Ultra Violet (UV) radiation and other
environmental effects . Emitting Pipe passes through stringent quality tests confirming to Indian
and International Standards .The nominal diameter ranges from 12 mm to 25 mm.
3. Benefits of Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation involves placing tubing with emitters on the ground along side the plants. The
emitters slowly drip water into the soil at the root zone. Because moisture levels are kept at
an optimal range, plant productivity and quality improve. In addition, drip irrigation:
•Prevents disease by minimizing water contact with the leaves, stems, and fruit of plants.
•Allows the rows between plants to remain dry, improving access and reducing weed growth.
•Saves time, money, and water because the system is so efficient.
•Decreases labor.
•Increases effectiveness on uneven ground.
•Reduces leaching of water and nutrients below the root zone.

fittings. Perform the test in two stages (see 8.4.2.1 and8.4.2.2).
8.4.2.1Connect the emitting-pipe assembly to a source of water, by means of an inlet fitting, and close its
outlet end. Fill the emitting-pipe assembly with water and check that no air remains trapped in the pipe.
Raise the water pressure gradually (10 s, Min) to maximum pressure and maintain the pressure for 48 h,
while the emitting-pipe test assembly is immersed in water at 60:1: 2°C temperature.
The emitting pipe shall withstand the test pressure without showing signs of damage.
28. 8.4.2.2 Remove the test assembly from the water and maintain it for 30
min at ambient temperature. Apply a hydrostatic pressure Pn for at least 3
min at ambient temperature and measure the flow rate of each emitting
unit.
The flow rate of each emitting unit shall not deviate by more than 10
percent from its original flow rate, as measured in 8.1.
29. 8.S Resistance to Tension at Elevated Temperature
Perform the test on 5 unit emitting pipe at a temperature of 50:1: 2°C.
NOTE- Mark on the unit emitting pipe two lines about 150 mm apart. Fasten
one end of the emitting pipe in an air circulation oven maintained at 50 :t 2"C and
apply a dead weight in accordance with Table 3. Maintain the pull for 15 min. then
remove the pull and cool the unit emitting pipe to an ambient temperature.
8.5.1Emitting pipe shall withstand the test pull without breaking or tearing. The
nominal flow rate in the test specimen shall not vary by more than 5 percent from
the flow rate measured before testing according to 8.1, and the distance between
the two marked lines shall not vary by more than 5 percent from the distance
measured (see 8.5)
30. 8.6 Resistance to Pull Out of Joints Between Fitting and Emitting
This test shall be performed in accordance with IS 13479, but the test pull out load shall be
according to Table3, applied for 1 hr or alternatively dead weight may be used for applying the test
pull. The fitting shall not pull out from the emitting pipe.

35. TEST METHOD
D-2.1 Reagent An undiluted surface active agent of the type of
nonylphenoxy poly ( ethyleneoxy ) ethanol [ Igepal CO-630 or
Antarox CO-6301 may be used for reference purposes. This
information is given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute endorsement of the product kept in closed containers
and used fresh for each test.
D-2.2 Apparatus
Forced air circulation oven, maintained at 50 ± 3°C, capable of
re-establishing that temperature within five minutes after insertion
of test pieces.
D-2.3 Test Specimen
Five sections of pipe, preferably from different coils, each of
length about 20 times the diameter shall constitute the test piece.
36. D-2.4 Procedure
D-2.4.1 Bend each test piece sharply at two pieces, to form two U-bends, in two different planes
perpendicular to each other (see fig -2 ).Each bend is worked to the limit , that is until both sides of the fold
touch and lie parallel to each other, and then the bend is tightly secured to maintain that deformation
throughout the test ( see Fig. 2 ).
D-2.4.2 Coat each bend completely with the reagent by dipping and then place all the test pieces in the
oven, taking care not to impose any additional stresses on them.
-D-2.4.3 30 minutes after the temperature of the oven ( bath ) has returned to 50 f 3% take the test pieces
out and release the stress and wipe the bends free from reagent.
D-2.4.4 Inspect each bend thoroughly, with the unaided eye for any visible cracks ( generally originating at
the two ends of the fold).
D-2.5 Expression of Results
Any bend which contains at least one visible crack (-excluding cracks induced by the object used to secure
the bend ), is classified as failed. The total number of bends which fail shall be noted.
37. 8.8 Determination of Emitting Unit Exponent (This Test Applies to Both Regulated and Unregulated Emitting Units)
The relation between the emission rate. 𝑞. in 1/h and the inlet pressure in an emitting unit .P. in kilopascals, is
given by the formula:
𝑞 = 𝑘 ⋅ 𝑝𝑚
m =
𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝒑𝒊 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝒒ⅈ −𝟏
𝒏 𝜮 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝒑𝒊 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝒒ⅈ
𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝒑𝒊
𝟐−𝟏
𝒏 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝒑𝒊

where q =emission rate. in 1/h;
k =constant;
p = inlet pressure. in KPa;
m =emitting unit exponent;
i= 1.2.3.4.......... n; and
n = number of pressure values used in 8.2.2.
38. Using all the q and p values obtained in 8.2.2.calculate m from the above formula.
The value of the emitting unit exponent m shall be less than0.5 for non-regulated emitting pipes and less than
0.2 for regulated emitting pipes.
