Performance Enhancement of Cooling Tower |
Cooling towers are vital components in thermal power plants and various industrial processes, responsible for dissipating excess heat to maintain optimal operating temperatures. This study investigates strategies to improve the performance of cooling towers by focusing on fill design modification and material selection. Through a comprehensive analysis of factors such as wind speed, fill type, and inlet water temperature, initial fill designs were explored to enhance thermal efficiency. Subsequent modifications to the fill design yielded significant improvements in performance and efficiency, particularly through the optimization of surface area and reduction of restricted areas within the tower. Furthermore, the introduction of Ceramic-Silicon Carbide material for fills demonstrated practical benefits, including ease of disposal and environmental friendliness compared to conventional PVC materials. The findings underscore the importance of strategic decisions in optimizing cooling tow |

CFD analysis of filter of Cooling Tower. |
Most of the industries in each country have specialized heat exchanger called Cooling Towers, which consumes significant amount of water for their cooling purposes. And during this process, considerable quantity of water is lost by evaporation. So, a technology that tries to reduce the water loss as well as improves the cooling quality have been greatly desired, especially for the upcoming age. In this study, we are utilizing a ceramic material, Clay, in the cooling tower so as to increase the surface area in contact with the incoming hot water thereby increasing the cooling effect and also for the water loss reduction. Firstly, the properties and thermal behaviour of the ceramic material is scrutinized using the software ANSYS FLUENT, where the improvement in cooling performance is also studied. The quantity of water conserved by latent heat of vapourisation method is precisely computed. Meanwhile, the prototype is designed using the software SOLIDWORKS, which is later used for fabric |

.Low cut in velocity wind machine |
The scarcity in resources for electricity production is one of the major problems facing day to day. This can be solved by using renewable resources. The most available resource is wind energy. So wind mill plays a great role in electricity production. But the reason is that high current of wind is only available in very high altitudes and there is a huge energy loss due to friction. This can be solved by introducing a new vertical wind machine “Low cut-in velocity wind machine”, which works on magnetic levitation principle. Due to magnetic levitation, it is absolutely friction free and can be implemented at lower altitudes. This works with a mechanical efficiency of 99%. All the principles used here make this low cut-in velocity wind machine different from other wind machines and also these increase its efficiency. Since the energy used here is green energy it is absolutely eco-friendly and can be implemented in our houses. |

Kanuga diesel blend as an alternate fuel |
Kanuga-diesel blend is a practical and inexpensive substitute for diesel, as it does not require any engine modifications and also provides energy, economic as well as environmental benefits. Through this project we evaluated the performance, emissions and economy of a four-stroke diesel KIRLOSKAR engine using Kanuga- diesel blend as alternate fuel and compared it with the same for the engine running on diesel. All kinds of efficiencies of the engine increased considerably with our biodiesel. And also we were able to reduce the fuel consumption up to certain extend. Through this project we came to a conclusion that Kanuga-diesel blend is practically a cost efficient and perfect substitute for diesel. This project was to check the suitability of Kanuga-diesel blend as an alternate diesel engine fuel. Kanuga-diesel blend at various ratios of B40, B20, B10, B5, B2 can be used itself without modification of engine after filtration. The value of flash point, fire point, and density were mea |

Pneumatic hybris vehicle |
The pneumatic hybrid relies on the flexible valve actuation system to convert the engine into the compressor during vehicle braking and store the compressed air in a tank. During acceleration, the air can be used either to propel the vehicle by operating the engine in the air motor mode or for short-term supercharging. |
