<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Natural fibers are increasingly being used to reinforce glass fiber composites rather than synthetic fibers because of their increased tensile strength, despite some inherent disadvantages. With the help of the structural analysis program ANSYS, three different combinations were thoroughly analyzed with an eye toward factors like total deformation, equivalent elastic strain, and equivalent stress in order to determine the best combination. The composite specimen exhibiting the best performance qualities was chosen for further manufacturing. A fracture load of 8.93 kN and a tensile strength of 81.46 MPa were obtained from tensile strength tests and Charpy impact tests performed on samples made from the composite. The impact test, which produced a value of 14 J using a 15 kg pendulum, also shed light on the ability to absorb energy during fracture. These results indicate that the composite material has qualities that make it a good choice for dashboards and panels for automobiles.</div></div>

To determine whether eggshell particles can be used as a filler material to improve mechanical properties, this study examines the mechanical characteristics of a hybrid material made of eggshell particles and glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP). To obtain the appropriate particle size, the eggshells are cleaned, crushed, and sieved as part of the experimental approach. The eggshell fragments are then mixed with resin and glass fibres using a vacuum-assisted resin-transfer moulding process to create GFRP composites. The produced GFRP composites’ flexural strength, stiffness, fatigue stability, and other pertinent characteristics are evaluated with practical tests. Notably, certain qualities are enhanced with the inclusion of eggshell particles containing 110 % of the weight of fibroin. In comparison to conventional GFRP composites, which only consider fatigue life during the exhaustion testing phase, the results reveal a 15% increase in the enhancement rate. The findings imply that adding eggshell particles to GFRP composites has tremendous opportunities for progress, notably in automotive applications, and more specifically in the use of leaf springs. The hybrid material’s better mechanical characteristics suggest that it may be possible to improve the performance and longevity of leaf-spring applications. This study advances the investigation of low-cost, environmentally friendly materials for improving composite materials’ mechanical properties in the automobile sector. The application of eco-friendly and effective solutions in the production of automobiles may result from more study and development in this field.

Advances in friction materials are imposed on developing multiceramic reinforced hybrid nanocomposites with superior tribomechanical properties. The silver-based matrix metals are gained significance in various applications like bearing, ratchet, and electrical contacts due to their high frictional resistance and good thermal and chemical stability compared to traditional metals. The present research is to develop silver-based hybrid nanocomposites containing alumina (Al2O3) and silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles of 50 nm mixing with the ratio of 0 wt% Al2O3/0 wt% SiC, 5 wt% Al2O3/0 wt% SiC, and 5 wt% Al2O3/5 wt% SiC via the semisolid vacuum stir-cast technique. The vacuum technology minimizes casting defects and increases composite properties. The casted composite samples are subjected to study the effect of reinforcement on thermal adsorption, conductivity, diffusivity, and frictional resistance. The composite containing 5 wt% Al2O3np/5 wt% SiCnp is to find optimum thermal and frictional behaviour. The thermal adsorption and frictional resistance are increased by 30% and 27% compared to unreinforced cast silver. The Ag/5 wt% Al2O3np/5 wt% SiCnp hybrid nanocomposite is recommended for automotive friction-bearing applications.

In this research aimed to estimate the overall heat transfer coefficient of counter flow shell and tube heat exchanger. Heat transfer is the phenomenon to analysis of heat transfer from one medium of fluid to another medium of fluid, it is considered as a major role in industrial applications. Numerous heat exchangers are available, in this research considered as shell and tube heat exchanger. Overall heat transfer coefficient informed that three major factors are influenced as passing of fluid (film) media coefficient inside the tubes, circulating of fluid (film) media coefficient over in the shell, and the resistance of wall made on metal. In this study Taguchi L9 orthogonal array is executed to found the overall heat transfer coefficient with effective process parameters. Three major parameters are considered for this work are coil diameter (25 mm, 30 mm, and 35 mm), baffle thickness (15 mm, 20 mm, and 25 mm) and baffle gap (200 mm, 300 mm, and 400 mm. Baffle plate thickness is highly significant factor for this experiment.

Abstract Zero defects are the ultimate aim of any manufacturer casting aluminium alloys. shrinkage porosity is the major defect in casting AlSi5Cu1Mg alloy using Gravity Die Casting (GDC) process. This paper deals with development of effective approach to describe the optimal condition to reduce the shrinkage porosity formation. Solidification time, metal temperature, and preheat molten temperature are varied using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based Box-Behnken Design (BBD)and conducted experiments. Solidification time and pouring metal temperature are directly proportional and solidification time and preheat temperature of the mould are indirectly proportional. Theoretical approach is validated with the experimental approach and the predicted values from RSM based BBD is useful and effective in determining the optimized process conditions in GDC process.

Automatic air conditioning system is encouraged in most of the automotive especially passenger cars. This system can enable higher standard of comfort to the passengers, so the automotive industries are trying to implement the automatic air conditioning system in most of their vehicle. One the other hand manufacturing simulation is additional processing experienced in most of the manufacturing industry, to analysis the complete performance of the product or vehicle before it manufacturing. In recent decade more than 100 simulators are developed to analysis the various operation of the manufacturing and vehicle. But simulation analysis of air conditioning system and automatic air conditioning system is challenging to the engineer. They may require to spend more time to analysis the performance of the automatic air conditioning system. Thus in later period soft computing based system for the effective performance prediction of automatic air conditioning system is proposed. But the prediction accuracy of the past technique is not in the satisfactory level. Hence in this paper, a novel soft computing technique is proposed for the effective prediction of the performance of the automatic air conditioning system. In the proposed system support vector machine is used for the prediction of the performance of automatic air conditioning system. The performance of the proposed technique is compared with the ANN.
