Title	:	A Review of Assembly Line Changes for Lean Manufacturing
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Awasare Anant Dattatray 1, M.V.Kavade

Abstract:The orientation towards an efficient mass customization confronts most companies with two opposing requirements: While the applied mass production system should be able to produce a huge product variety, the cost must be kept low. Therefore assembly lines have to be planned in a much more flexible way. The more complex the product, the more extensive the product mix—the more difficult the task. Shorter product life cycles also complicate the situation. Due to the volatile nature of market, companies cannot afford to manufacture same type of product for long period of time and neither can maintain high inventory level; to tackle this problem we propose a Continuous improvement tools and techniques are introduced to address these issues, allowing the manufacturing of superior quality products with efficient processes. The Lean tools and techniques is one of them.

Abstract: The thermal treatment of metal must certainly be regarded as one of the most important development of industrial age. After more than a century, research continues into making metallic Components stronger and more wear resistance. One of the modern processes being used to treat the metal (as well as other materials) is Cryogenic tempering. While the science of heat treatment is well known and widely understood, the principles of cryogenics remain a mystery to most people in industry. Information regarding this process is full of contradiction and unanswered questions. Until recently cryogenic tempering was viewed as having little value towards this process because of its brittle nature of finished product. It is only since the development of computer modeled cooling and reheat curve that the true benefit of cryogenically treated materials have become available to industry and the general public.

Title	:	An Overview of Peristaltic Pump Suitable For Handling of Various Slurries and Liquids
Country	:	India
Authors	:	E. N. Aitavade1, S. D. Patil2, A. N. Kadam3, T .S. Mulla

Abstract: A peristaltic pump is a type of positive displacement pump used for pumping a variety of fluids. The fluid is contained within a flexible tube fitted inside a circular pump casing. A rotor with a number of "rollers", "shoes" or "wipers" attached to the external circumference compresses the flexible tube. As the rotor turns, the part of the tube under compression closes (or "occludes") thus forcing the fluid to be pumped to move through the tube. Additionally, as the tube opens to its natural state after the passing of the cam ("restitution") fluid flow is induced to the pump. In this paper construction, basic principle of working and pump design specification has been discussed. The advantages and critical applications have been presented.

Title	:	Application of Artificial Neural Network for Modelling of Traffic Noise on Roads in Delhi
Country	:	India
Authors	:	DelhiManish Sharma, Manjeet Dahiya, Dr. Praveen Kumar Saini, Mr. Naveen Garg

Abstract: Pollution is always a matter of concern but when it comes to noise human beings were always ignorant to it. Some of the models developed were UK's CORTN model, USA's FHWA, STACO model in Spain. Most of the models developed have used traffic volume, average speed, vegetation Leq, L10 etc as the variables. But none of the model can be applicable as a generalized model due to non-linear (or stochastic) nature of the noise problem. In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop an ANN model for the Metropolitan city Delhi. The structure of the model selected consisted of input variable as 2W, 3W, Car, MCV, Bus, Truck, Average Speed and Leq as output variable. The number of neurons in the hidden layer was selected as 6. The model was selected by varying the number of hidden neurons from 4 to 20. The best model was selected on the basis of Mean Square Error (MSE), which was in present case of 6 hidden neurons. The model selected can be applied for the prediction of Leq level.

Title	:	Biogas From Pressmud
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Karan M. Agrawal1, B. R. Barve2, Shareena S. Khan

Abstract: Today we primarily use fossil fuels to heat and power our homes and fuel our cars. It is convenient to use coal, oil, and natural gas for meeting our energy needs, but we have a limited supply of these fuels on the Earth. We're using them much more rapidly than they are being created. Eventually, they will run out. Today there is a burning need of an alternative for fossil fuels because the fossil fuels are getting extinct. Hence it is necessary to find out alternative source of energy. This topic will make us aware that press mud which is a waste of sugarcane industries can be used to produce biogas. In order to produce biogas from press mud, press mud is allowed to ferment anaerobically in a digester for 3-4 hours at a temperature of 35-40˚C. Constructional details, process details and composition of required input are elaborated later. The biogas produced from this process is further scrubbed to remove the sulphur content for being used as a fuel. Furthermore this plant can be mounted on a skid so that biogas can be produced anywhere and at any place. As in India, especially the western Maharashtra is known for its sugarcane production, this idea may play a vital role in India. Keywords – Biogas, digester, fermentation, press mud, scrubbing.

Title	:	CFD Simulation of an Advanced Biomass Gasifier
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Ratnakar Chodapaneedi1, Narsimhulu Sanke2, Dr.D.N.Reddy

Abstract: Biomass is considered to be one of the most promising renewable energy sources in the future. Due to stringent policy on emission reduction, biomass has become a centre of attention worldwide as a source of green energy, e.g. motor fuel. This work has been carried out in order to perform computer simulation in an Advanced Biomass Gasification process developed at Gasification Lab, Centre for Energy Technology, University College of Engineering, Osmania University, Hyderabad. For an efficient and economically feasible we are converting biomass particles to a high quality synthesis gas. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become a well known aiding tool in these regards as to characterize the conversion process, optimize the design, visualize the flow fields in the reacting flow environment, and to improve the operating efficiency as a whole. With this background, the commercial code Ansys-CFX has been used to perform CFD simulations of the Advanced Biomass Gasifier being developed at CET.

Title	:	Correlation between Effects of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles and Ferrofluid on the Performance and Emission Characteristics of a C.I. Engine
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Ranaware A. A.1, Satpute S. T.

Abstract: This report is related to find out correlation between performance and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine while using cerium oxide nanoparticles and water-based ferrofluid as additive to diesel fuel. The cerium oxide acts as an oxygen donating catalyst and provides oxygen for the oxidation of CO or absorbs oxygen for the reduction of NOx. The activation energy of cerium oxide acts to burn off carbon deposits within the engine cylinder at the wall temperature and prevents the deposition of non-polar compounds on the cylinder wall results reduction in HC emissions. Adding ferrofluid to diesel fuel has a perceptible effect on engine performance, increasing the brake thermal efficiency relatively up to 12% and decreasing the brake- specific fuel consumption relatively up to 11% as compared to diesel fuel. Furthermore, from the analysis of engine exhaust, it was found that NOx emissions were lower than that of diesel fuel while the CO emissions increased.

Title	:	Design & development of multi spindle drilling head (msdh)
Country	:	India
Authors	:	A.S.Udgave1,Prof.V.J.Khot

Abstract: The growth of Indian manufacturing sector depends largely on its productivity & quality. Productivity depends upon many factors, one of the major factors being manufacturing efficiency with which the operation /activities are carried out in the organization. Productivity can be improved by reducing the total machining time, combining the operations etc. In case of mass production where variety of jobs is less and quantity to be produced is huge, it is very essential to produce the job at a faster rate. This is not possible if we carry out the production by using general purpose machines. The best way to improve the production rate (productivity) alongwith quality is by use of special purpose machine. Usefulness and performance of the existing radial drilling machine will be increased by designing and development of multispindle drilling head attachment. This paper deals with such development undertaken for similar job under consideration alongwith industrial case study.
