Sand casting parts are widely used in various assemblies so these are in huge demand. To meet the increasing demand and increasing manufacturing cost industries are focusing on sustainable manufacturing. Life cycle assessment tools are used by the industries to quantify sustainability of a process....

Aluminium is the third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon), and the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust. Aluminium is remarkable for the metal's low density and for its ability to resist corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation. Structural components made from aluminium and...

FSP is manufacturing the Technique used to modify the microstructure metals. In this process a rotating tool is penetrated in the work piece and moved in the transverse direction. Further FSP technique is used for fabrication of surface composite on aluminium substrate and homogenization of...

The present research has been done to investigate the influence of different input process parameters on the desired response (flux consumption) in the submerged arc welding process. Fractional factorial technique has been used to design the experiment to reduce the number of runs. The effects of...

The present research has been done to study the effect of different independent input process parameters on the desired responses in the submerged arc welding process. Half factorial technique has been used for the design of experiments. The effects of welding current, open circuit, welding speed...

It may be defined as an operation of heating and cooling of metals or alloys in the solid state to induce certain desired properties into them. Heat treatment can alter the mechanical properties of steel by changing the shape and size of grains of which it is composed, or by changing its micro-constituents.

Designing in sand casting is a critical activity for manufacturing. Further, activities like cavity design, cavity layout and design of gating system are essential in design. Design of gating system in sand casting is dependent upon a various parameters. Gating system design requires lot of manual...

This unique book describes how the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) can be used to solve various power system operation and planning optimization problems. This book is the first of its kind to provide readers with a comprehensive reference that includes the solution codes for basic/advanced...

Condition Monitoring Using Computational Intelligence Methods promotes the various approaches gathered under the umbrella of computational intelligence to show how condition monitoring can be used to avoid equipment failures and lengthen its useful life, minimize downtime and reduce maintenance costs....

A static compensator (STATCOM), also known as static synchronous compensator, is a member of the flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) devices. It is a power-electronics based regulating device which is composed of a voltage source converter (VSC) and is shunt-connected to alternating...

Christo Ananth et al. gave a brief description and solved problems for students in Bahrain to know about Concept of Moment of Inertia, Polar Moment of Inertia, Radius of Gyration and Transfer Formulae.

This thesis focuses on the key technologies involved in magnetically coupled Wireless Power Transfer (WPT). Starting from the basic structures and theories of WPT, it addresses four fundamental aspects of these systems. Firstly, it analyzes the factors affecting transfer efficiency and compares various...

This book is designed to help athletes and individuals interested in high sports performance in their journey towards the perfection of human sports abilities and achievements. It has two main goals: accelerating the acquisition of motor skills and preparing and vigilantly reducing the recovery time...

Food Processing Technology: Principles and Practice, Fourth Edition, has been updated and extended to include the many developments that have taken place since the third edition was published. The new edition includes an overview of the component subjects in food science and technology, processing...
