Comparative Analysis of Shrinkage of Pineapple during Convective Drying in Sun, Solar and Electric Tray Drying

Wishmore Gwala and R. Padmavati · September 2016 · pp. 01-06

In this study, a comparative analysis was done on the shrinkage behaviour of pineapple slices under three different drying treatments namely solar, open sun and convective electrical tray drying. Pineapple slices were cored and dried under the above mentioned conditions. The diameters and thickness was measured using a vennier calliper and the volume and density were calculated from the collected data. it was noted that there was more shrinkage in tray drying followed by sun drying. Solar drying had the least shrinkage. The reduction in density followed a non-linear exponential reduction. All three drying treatments exhibited the same phenomenon. An exponential function was best in describing the reduction in density in solar drying. For sun and tray drying, the density reduction followed a power function decline. By comparing the volume of water removed versus the fractional volume decrease of pineapple samples in solar drying, sun drying and tray drying respectively it was noted that again a linear relationship prevailed in all three cases. The linear correlation coefficient (R2) showed that the shrinkage was more linear in sun and tray drying with a similar R2 value of 0.978 and 0977 while that for solar drying was least at 0.956.

Necessary & Sufficient Conditions for Consistency of Bipartite Matching Polyhedral Path Expressions to their Resizable Hadoop Cluster Complexity

Ravi (Ravinder) Prakash G · September 2016 · pp. 07-25

We develop a novel technique for resizable Hadoop cluster’s lower bounds, *bipartite matching rectangular array of polyhedral path expressions.* Specifically, fix an arbitrary hybrid kernel function f:{0,1}n ->{0,1} and let Af be the rectangular array of polyhedral path expressions whose columns are each an application of f to some subset of the variables x1, x2,... x4n. We prove that Af has bounded-capacity resizable Hadoop cluster’s complexity omega(d) , where d is the approximate degree of f . This finding remains valid in the MapReduce programming model, regardless of prior measurement. In particular, it gives a new and simple proof of lower bounds for robustness and other symmetric conjunctive predicates. We further characterize the discrepancy, approximate PageRank, and approximate trace distance norm of Af broadly generalizing several findings on small-bias resizable Hadoop cluster and agnostic inference. The method of this paper has also enabled important progress in multi-cloud resizable Hadoop cluster’s complexity.

Dufour and Soret Effects on Thermal Stratification and Non-Newtonian Fluid Parameter on Convective Heat and Mass Transfer along a Horizontal Plate in a Porous Medium

P. Geetha · September 2016 · pp. 29-32

A numerical solution of a steady two-dimensional free convection heat and mass transfer along a horizontal plate in a porous medium is presented with the presence of Dufour and Soret effects. Free convection flow of non-Newtonian fluids along a non-isothermal plate embedded in a saturated porous medium together with the thermal stratification effect is analyzed based on the boundary layer approximation. The effects of various parameters entering into the problem have been investigated on the flow field through graphs.

DC Motor Control using Fuzzy Logic Controller for Input to Five Bar Planar Mechanism

Aditi A. Abhyankar, S. M. Chaudhari · September 2016 · pp. 42-50

DC motor speed and position control finds various applications in Robotics, Material handling, Industrial drives and Automation. In this paper, a control of Five Bar Mechanism Motion is obtained by DC motor position and speed control using Fuzzy rule-based system. The Five Bar Mechanism has second degree of freedom. The second degree of freedom is very difficult to handle as for the deterministic positions there can be multiple orientations. By providing the restriction of the input links and controlling the positions of the input links the degree of freedom is reduced to one. Mechanically such a restriction is possible through the use of gears which have the limitation due to gear ratio. With rule based system it is possible to achieve desired orientation of path by controlling speeds of the two DC motors. Using DC motors instead of gears one can achieve various deterministic orientations of mechanism. The dimensions of the mechanism may introduce the locking conditions. The locking condition means the two input links have the restriction of position with respect to other. The rule base system also detects the locking position and resets the system. The system is simulated using Software developed for Five Bar Planar Mechanism. The coordinates for the motion path or locus are obtained through the software. The fuzzy rule based system controls the motion of motor, such that the desired coordinates are travelled using a smooth curve. The five bar mechanism can trace the desired path with an accuracy of ±2.5%.

News Clustering Using Spark

Jaimin Shah · September 2016 · pp. 58-61

Apache spark is well known tool for big data analytics. It is preferred to carry out data mining task on a very big dataset on distributed environment. It supports distributed computation (clusters) due which we can achieve parallelism for computation among the node in the cluster. Number of machines in the cluster is a major factor while setting up the cluster. More number of machines means you will get faster results. Major advantage of using spark is that, it supports variety of languages like Java, Python, Scala etc. This articles focuses on clustering of text data. As clustering of text data is very different than clustering of numeric data. Text clustering has many challenges like sparsity of data which we must consider while carrying out clustering. Another major challenge is building word vocabulary from dataset. All major steps which are needed to carry out text clustering are described in detail in this article.

Applications of Nitinol Propulsion Device

Snehav Sharma, Anirudh Mattoo, Aditya Pratap Singh, Rajat Mishra · September 2016 · pp. 62-65

This research paper is a technical work done to analyze and implement the shape memory property of an alloy known as Nitinol (Nickel Titanium Naval Ordinance Laboratory). This alloy has a unique feature of regaining is shape back to its original shape once subjected to a temperature range of about 60- 80⁰C. This research paper focuses mostly on this property of NiTinol, using it as wired loop around two wheels in the form of a pulley in which one a is a driving wheel, and the other is the driven one. The device is known as Nitinol Heat device. Both the wheels are designed and aligned in such a way that one of its wheels immersed in hot water (generally the bottom wheel) which is the driving wheel, the other wheel is suspended in the air which is the driven wheel. The wire initially annealed in the form of a straight wire provides the necessary torque for generating enough power so that the pulley starts to move on its own just by using the heat created by the hot fluid. The bottom wheel, which has NiTiNOL bent around it, when it comes in contact with the hot water, the alloy starts to regain its original shape. The bent wire at the bottom starts to push the lower wheel generating enough torque that drives the bottom wheel on its own and hence leading to a cyclic Reaction and this, in turn, drives the upper wheel creating a self-driven pulley which no mechanical effort or force provided for its motion. Moreover, this project focuses on the useful applications of the NiTiNOL Thermobile in the current industrial scenario where there are ample sources of waste hot water. Some of the viable applications are Radiator fan an automobile Residual hot water from the boiler (for power generation).

Anila Raechal John, Divya N A · September 2016 · pp. 66-70

Wind energy production has been growing at an increasingly rapid rate, and will continue to do so in the future. In fact, it has become an integral part in supplying future energy needs, making further advancements in the field exceedingly critical. This WECS consists of a 6 kW permanent magnet synchronous generator connected to the transmission grid through a power conversion scheme. The topology of this converter system consists of an active AC/DC rectifier as well as a DC/AC IGBT inverter, used to interface the DC link with the grid. In micro wind turbine applications, permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is widely used. A novel algorithm for the estimation of rotor angle of the PMSG, based on flux estimators was implemented. And the system behavior during fault is observed.
