COMPARATIVE HARDNESS OF ALUMINUM ALLOY OF MOTORCYCLE BRAKE HANDLE PRODUCED FROM CLAY, CEMENT BONDED SAND WITH IMPORTED BRAKE HANDLE[ ]


One of the most acceptable process of foundry production process is the use of sand in moulding. It is done by ramming a prepared sand around the pattern. The withdrawal of the pattern leaves a cavity (shape) in which molten metal is poured into it, after solidification, it is extracted and fettled to suit the purpose it is made to serve. This work ex-rayed into the production process of motorcycle brake handle using clay and cement as bonding material.

Simultaneous Reconfiguration and Optimal Capacitor Placement for Loss and Cost Reduction in Radial Distribution System[ ]


Power delivered to the consumers faces many disturbances in the distribution path. Power loss reduction and improvisation in voltage profile is necessary to provide power with good power quality. Individual network reconfiguration or capacitor placement cannot be effective during heavy loads. In this paper, Simultaneous reconfiguration and capacitor allocation in radial distribution system is carried out to minimize the real power loss and operating cost by using Johnson’s and Modified Whale’s Algorithm. Therefore, the proposed method is tested on standard IEEE 33 and 69 bus systems and their performances are compared with results obtained by Harmony Search and Simulated Annealing Algorithm.
