DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2020.7801
Abstract: Reusing cooking oil is a common practice in India. Oxidation and hydrolysis occur when oil is heated repeatedly due to thermal decomposition. It had been suggested that consumption of repeatedly heated oil could be a health hazard. The increasing use of edible oils and fats for the preparation of fried products requires an increasingly strict control in order to maintain the quality and safety of the fried foods. Due to the knowledge that the frying process alters the chemical nature of the heated oil and its consumption represents health risks. In this study, the measurements were performed in daily frying operations of these restaurants and were analysed repeatedly for the relevance of results. The Total polar compounds and peroxide values of some collected frying oil samples from which daily frying main areas of cities were measured by standard procedures. The results showed that the total polar materials in the range of 12.24% to 22.12% and which are within the norms of codex standards. Peroxide values are in the range of 12.36 to 26.65 meq O2/kg which deviated from the Codex standard value of 10 meq O2/kg. Acid values are 0.78-5.98 in the range which deviates safety standards. The results showed degradation in the both the properties of the vegetable cooking oil after repetitive frying. The standard deviation for AV, PV and TMC are in the range of 0.16-0.32 while in case of standard mean error it is in the range of 0.09-0.18. These results provided the basis for choosing the proper rapid-measuring device to control the quality of frying oil in restaurants.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2020.7802
Abstract: Textile filter fabrics are an important part of the domestics and industries life, contributing to healthy environment by product purity and efficiency. Filters save energy and production costs by suitable selection of the filter for specific application. This paper implies principles of filtration in textiles, factors affecting filtration efficiency and testing methods as per American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The pore structure and permeability of filters play a major role in getting quality air, filters reduce the air pollution. The work of an air filters is to filter the dirt particles from intake air and supply cleaner air. Optimum utilization of filters can significantly reduce the cost of filters replacement frequently and keep the filters in used for longer time, this can be done by knowing the actual working condition (i.e. air flow rate and differential pressure) of the filters and select best filters which suits for that condition. In this study the main focuses are the effect of air flow rate (CFM) and differential pressure on dust concentration and performance on nonwoven filter media, the selection of the conditions (air flow rate and differential pressure) is done by simulating with air- conditioners, refrigerators and vacuum cleaners is taken under this study. A needle punched nonwoven fabric 200 and 120 GSM is used as filter and during testing filtration efficiency shows good co-relation with calculated value.as air flow rate increasing the service life of filter fabric reduces. The differential pressure decreases as filter clogs. Pressure drop is directly proportional to the temperature during filtration. It is found that the calculated service life of filter fabric helps the manufacturer to design a fabric with a better filtration efficiency and more service life. The air filtration efficiency tester designed simulates the actual working condition of filter fabric with more accuracy.

Vaibhav Kumar, Shamsul Haq
DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2020.7803
Abstract: Thermal performances of circular-fin, triangular fin and plate fin heat sink with horizontal base plate were compared in natural convection. Comparison is performed with same base plate dimensions and height of fin condition and same power input. In the work herein, steady-state natural convection heat transfer and thermal performance comparison between circular finned heat sink, triangular finned heat sink & plate finned heat from horizontally-oriented base plate is investigated. SOLIDWORKS software is used in order to develop a three-dimensional numerical model for investigation of different fin geometries effects. Results show that an alteration in fin geometry and material of the fins enhances the thermal performance of fins and reduces the weight of the fin arrays, which leads to lower manufacturing costs. The optimum spacing for maximum fin array thermal performance is found. This study suggests that the most important geometric parameter influencing the heat transfer from fin is the height of fin & also the material of the fins.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2020.7805
Abstract: Artificial sand also called manufactured sand or crushed sand, the prepared by crushing rocks, stones or larger aggregates into small size particles in the quarry. Recent years, with the decrease of natural sand, the market of artificial sand shows great potential and vitality. The huge demand of the construction market has encouraged the development of the artificial sand market rapidly. Natural sand is worn out particles of rocks and are of various grades or sizes depending upon the amount of wearing. At present good sand is not readily available, it is transported from a long distance. Those resources are also exhausting very rapidly. So, it is a need of the time to find some substitute to natural sand. The Artificial sand produced by proper machines can be a better substitute to natural sand. Well graded sand is expected in the concrete. When fine particles are in proper proportion, the sand will have fewer voids. The cement quantity required will be less. Such sand will be more economical. Demand for manufactured sand for making concrete is increasing day by day as natural sand cannot meet the increasing demand of construction area. Natural sand takes number of years to form and is not replenishable. Because of its inadequate supply, the cost of Natural sand has increased and its steady supply cannot be assured. Under these situations use of Artificial sand becomes unavoidable. Natural sand in many parts of the country is not graded properly and has excessive silt and organic impurities and these can be harmful to durability of concrete whereas Artificial sand has no silt or organic impurities. In the present paper an attempt has been made to experimentally study the compressive strength of concrete cubes prepared with natural and artificial sand.

Investigation of Wire-EDM Process

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2020.7806
Abstract: Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), also known as spark machining, spark eroding, die sinking, wire burning or wire erosion, is a metal fabrication process whereby a desired shape is obtained by using electrical discharges (sparks). [1] Material is removed from the work piece by a series of rapidly recurring current discharges between two electrodes, separated by a dielectric liquid and subject to an electric voltage. One of the electrodes is called the tool-electrode, or simply the tool or electrode, while the other is called the workpiece-electrode, or work piece. The process depends upon the tool and work piece not making physical contact. When the voltage between the two electrodes is increased, the intensity of the electric field in the volume between the electrodes becomes greater, causing dielectric break down of the liquid, and produces an electric arc. As a result, material is removed from the electrodes. Once the current stops (or is stopped, depending on the type of generator), new liquid dielectric is conveyed into the inter-electrode volume, enabling the solid particles (debris) to be carried away and the insulating properties of the dielectric to be restored. Adding new liquid dielectric in the inter-electrode volume is commonly referred to as flushing. After a current flow, the voltage between the electrodes is restored to what it was before the breakdown, so that a new liquid dielectric breakdown can occur to repeat the cycle.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2020.7812
Abstract: Earthquake is the disturbance that happens at some depth below the ground level which causes vibrations at the ground surface. The buildings which do not designed for seismic force, may suffer extensive damage or collapse if shaken by a severe ground motion. The Pushover analysis first came into practice in 1980's, but the potential of the pushover analysis has been recognized for last two decades years. In this procedure mainly estimate the base shear and its corresponding displacement of structure. Pushover analysis is a very useful tool for the evaluation of New and existing structures. In the present study we are evaluating the behaviour of steel frame structure when it subjected to seismic forces. The method we are using to evaluate seismic performance of structure is non-linear static method which is gives the progressive behaviour of steel structure at each stage of analysis. For the study we modelled two frame structures of G+12 and G+15 respectively by using E tabs 2018. Main purpose of the study is to check the progressive failure of structure especially after elastic region by non-linear static analysis.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2020.7815
Abstract: Rice is considered as a staple food in Assam and occupies about two third of total cropped area in the state. The agro climatic condition of the state is very favourable for rice cultivation and hence most of the farmers earn their livelihood through production of rice on a sustainable basis. Most of the rice cultivation in the state is done by manual transplanting method which involves a number of labourers. In order to overcome the setbacks faced due to shortage of labourers in the main cropping season, the present study was accomplished using a walk behind four row mechanical transplanter for transplanting. A comparative field study was conducted to evaluate the yield attributing characters and yield of two high yielding varieties namely Binadhan 11 and Tripura Chikan at Morigaon district of Assam. Different growth parameters and yield attributing characters like plant height, tillers per hill, panicles per meter square, total numbers of grains per panicle, filled grains per panicle, thousand grain weight, biomass yield, grain yield were recorded. From the study it was found that average plant height of Bina Dhan 11 was 112.4 cm and that of Tripura Chikan was 99.2 cm. Also, average number of tillers per hill was found to be 12 and 9 respectively for Binadhan 11 and Tripura Chikan. Average number of panicles per meter square was also recorded and it was found to be 303 and 268 for Binadhan 11 and Tripura Chikan respectively. Average of total grains per panicle for Binadhan 11 was recorded to be 137 and that of Tripura Chikan was recorded to be 331. Average of filled grains per panicle was found to be 124 and 287 for Binadhan 11 and Tripura Chikan respectively. Average of biomass yield for Binadhan 11 was found to be 12.48 kg and that of Tripura Chikan was found to be 9.94 kg. After attaining a suitable moisture level, average of total grain yield of 2.80 kg was recorded in Binadhan 11 and 2.39 kg was recorded in Tripura Chikan.

Abstract: The semantic content of an image in different styles has been difficult image processing task. A major limiting factor for previous approaches has been the lack of image representations that explicitly represent semantic in formation and thus, allow separating image content from style. Image representations derived from Convolutional Neural Networks optimized for object recognition, which make high-level image information explicit. Introduce a Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style that can separate and recombine the image content and style of natural images. The algorithm allows producing new images of high perceptual quality that combine the content of an arbitrary photograph with the appearance of numerous well-known artworks. Results provide new insights into the deep image representations learned by Convolutional Neural Networks and demonstrate their potential for high-level image synthesis manipulation.

Abstract: As concrete is one of the most important building materials, it is commonly used in structural engineering. Owing to growing demand for traditional construction materials, there is a need to produce alternative building materials. In recent years waste management has been one of the important subjects, extensive research is being conducted to use the same in the building industry. Various operations to replace the Coarse aggregate were carried out. In this case extended beads of polystyrene were used to partly and fully replace Coarse aggregate. As lightweight concrete compressed polystyrene beads are helpful. It the the dead load, the self-weight and primarily improvises a structure's thermal insulating property. Biodegradable material compared to plastic, including polystyrene in building allows some waste disposal. Concrete is considered to be lightweight as it ranges from 160-1920 kg / m3 in mass. Polystyrene concrete has a greater effect on the environment of building, with decreased concrete density and limited necessary weight. The average volume of coarse aggregate is offset by the polystyrene beads in this factory. Fresh concrete properties were tabulated, with and without the inclusion of polystyrene beads. Measurement of workability, mass, compressive force, crack tensile strength for the cubes and cylinders with and without cement coating. For conventional beams and polystyrene beams flexural strength is calculated.

DOI: 10.17148/IARJSET.2020.7824
Abstract: In the past, the fibre was extracted manually by scraping away the pulpy matter with a blunt knife. Sometimes, leaves were cut longitudinally into thin ribbons and immersed in water till the pith matter was separated from the fibre. After retting, the fibre was washed and dried in the sun. Sometimes sisal leaves were boiled in water and beaten to remove the pithy matter from fibre, which was then washed and dried. The focus of the project is to design and fabricate a sisal fibre extracting machine which is operated by an electric motor to extract fibres from sisal leaf. Thus, the aim of the project is to develop a machine which yields good quality of fibre to increase the productivity and also to encourage small scale industries to use this machine instead of old-time consuming methods.

Abstract: The Euphrates river in Iraq face a challenge of receiving a verity of pollutants, mainly come from wastes discharged into the river. Although industrial effluents and drainage from farm lands impose considerable pollution load, effluents of municipal wastewater treatment plants represent an effective source of pollution to the Euphrates. The study area of this paper was selected as 12.55 km long of the Euphrates River of the branch "Shatt Al-Kufa" just downstream Kufa city within Najaf Governorate in the middle of Iraq. Upper and lower boundaries of the study area were water monitoring stations belong to the Iraqi Ministry of Water Resources. The upper (upstream) boundary was Kufa Station, while the lower (downstream) boundary was Manathera Station. Water temperature, pH and electric conductivity (EC) were measured in the field. Water samples collected daily from the river at the two stations (Kufa and Manatherah) along three intervals as 23-30 April 2019, 1-7 July 2019 and 10-18 November 2019, and tested in lab for total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solid (TSS), dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical Oxygen demand BOD5, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulphate (SO4), Nitrite (NO2), Nitrate (NO3) and phosphate (PO4). Observations were made at dates 23rd April, 1st July and 10th November 2019 for some aspects of aquatic life like plants, fish and amphibians. According to results and observations of this study, the effluent of Kufa wastewater treatment plant had a slight local effect on some water quality parameters of the Euphrates river like EC, TDS, BOD5, DO, PO4, SO4, NO2 and NO3 that affected some aspects of aquatic life downstream the discharge point of the plant. Some kinds of fish like Sharpeyi Barbus, Barbus xanthoptrrus, Barbus grypus, luteus Barbus and Liza abu were observed with lower number just downstream the effluent discharge point.
