Structural and Thermal Analysis of Cylinder Head Gasket[ ]


A cylinder head gasket is a thin plate like component which sits between the cylinder head and the engine block. It is an integral component of the engine and is required to perform many functions at the same time during engine operation. Its purpose is to seal the combustion gases within the cylinder and to avoid coolant or engine oil leaking into the cylinder. The gasket must provide a seal such that no impurities such as air, dirt enters into the cylinder and also prevent coolants, water and engine oil from leaking out.

Vegetable Preservation by Evaporation Cooling Process[ ]


Horticultural produce are stored at lower temperature because of their highly perishable nature. There are many methods to cool the environment. Hence, preserving these types of foods in their fresh form demands that the chemical, bio-chemical and physiological changes are restricted to a minimum by close control of space temperature and humidity. The high cost involved in developing cold storage or controlled atmosphere storage is a pressing problem in several developing countries. Evaporative cooling is a well-known system to be an efficient and economical means for reducing the temperature and increasing the relative humidity in an enclosure and this effect has been extensively tried for increasing the shelf life of horticultural produce in some tropical and subtropical countries.

Characterization Of Butt-Welded Aluminum Alloy with Magnesium Alloy by Tig Welding[ ]


The arc is produced between a pointed tungsten electrode and the workpiece in an inert environment of argon or helium during the TIG welding process. Multiple variety alloying approach is used to combine dissimilar metal alloys. Based on an investigation of the characteristics of the Aluminium alloy and Magnesium alloy, a Zinc-based filler wire is used in TIG welding of the Magnesium (AZ31B) - Aluminium (6061) joint to decrease the formation of intermetallics, which is the weakest part of the joint. By changing welding parameters such as Welding Current and Welding Speed while maintaining one of them constant at a time. Various tests, including as the Tensile Strength Test, Face Bend Test, Root Bend Test, Micro Examination, Macro Examination, and Vickers Hardness Test, were used to determine the best welding parameters. The impact of changing welding parameters on ultimate tensile strength, ultimate bending load, macrostructure, microstructure, and hardness is investigated. The formation of brittle intermetallic compound of Aluminium and Magnesium is reduced and a good quality weld is obtained with the aid of zinc filler wire.

On Summarization and Timeline Generation for Evolutionary Tweet Streams[ ]


Short-text messages such as tweets are being created and shared at an unprecedented rate. Tweets, in their raw form, while being informative, can also be overwhelming. For both end-users and data analysts, it is a nightmare to plow through millions of tweets which contain enormous amount of noise and redundancy. In this paper, we propose a novel continuous summarization framework called Sumblr to alleviate the problem. In contrast to the traditional document summarization methods which focus on static and small-scale data set, Sumblr is designed to deal with dynamic, fast arriving, and large-scale tweet streams. Our proposed framework consists of three major components.
