Abstract: A nature inspired optimization algorithm based on the transfer of pollen in universe called the Flower Pollination Algorithm, is implemented for solving economic dispatch (ED) problems with considering prohibited operating zones (POZs), and multiple fuel options including valve-point loading. The proposed method mainly depends on biotic pollination for transfer of pollens by using pollinators such as birds and insects, in order to find the survival of the fittest and the optimal reproduction of flowering plants. This algorithm has been exercised on three test systems (6, 15 and 10 units) with POZS and multiple fuel options for solving ED problems. The numerical results are compared with results of some new methods to verify the quality of FPA for solving ED problems. The result analyses prove the effectiveness of the FPA algorithm and show that it could be outlasts technique for solving ED problems in terms of total cost and computational time.

Keywords: Terms: Economic Dispatch, Flower Pollination Algorithm, Prohibited Operating Zones, Multiple Fuels, Valve-Point Loading.

Paper Title:

Abstract: Quality software can be developed when it is properly tested. Due to increase in the size and complexity of object-oriented software, manual testing has become time, resource and cost consuming. Properly designed test cases discover more errors and bugs present in the software. The test cases can be generated much early in the software development process, during the design phase. The unified modeling language (UML) is the most widely used language to describe the analysis and designs of object-oriented software. Test cases can be derived from UML models more efficiently. In our work, we propose a novel approach for automatic test case generation from the combination of UML class diagrams. In our approach, we first draw the UML class diagrams using any online drawing tool like smart draw or yuml.com. Then, we generate XML information of these models. The XML file is processed to extract variables from the class and predicates from class diagram using Java code. The predicates are then used to generate the test cases. Our approach achieves 100% branch coverage and suitable for mutation testing and unit testing.

Keywords: Quality Software, (UML), XML file, Manual Testing Has Become Time,

Abstract: The study of this paper is to assess the seismic vulnerability and response of regular and irregular shaped multi-storey building of same floor area 825 square meters. The regular building of rectangle shape is considered and irregular building of L shape structure is considered for the analysis. 11 storeyed regular (rectangular) shaped and irregular (L-shape) shaped buildings have been modeled using computer program ETABS 2016. Firstly the both rectangle and L shape buildings are analyzed with bare frame without any infill walls, later the rectangle and L shape buildings are analyzed by providing external infill walls around the plan of 10m×15m respectively. The analysis is done by Response spectrum method according to IS 1893(part 1): 2002. Comparative study on the maximum storey displacement, maximum storey drift and time periods of L and rectangular shaped building due to dynamic response spectrum has been explored. . From the results it is inferred that building with severe irregularity produces more deformation than regular building.

Keywords: Irregularities, Response Spectrum Method, Infill Walls, ETABS.

Paper Title:

Abstract: The output parameters like surface roughness, the tool job interface temperature, metal removal rate, and tool wear during turning operation are depending upon the input factors of the turning operation. In this paper a magnesium alloy was subjected into turning operation on a medium speed lathe to observe the tool wear. The chance of fire hazard and sticking of tool with magnesium alloy is reduced by introducing Minimum quantity lubrication technique. The lubricoolents are mixed with nano sized additives of Silicon cabide, Coppr oxide and Titanium oxide. Since input factors are in more numbers, the initial optimization of feed rate, quantity of supplied coolent ,mixed nano additive with optimized quantity, the optimized nano Copper Oxide was further mixed with surfactants such as Sodium Dodecylsulfat (SDS). Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB) and Zwitterionic at a concentration of 1g/lit and 2g/lit. A new magnesium alloy yitrium and calcium composition was subjected to turning operation with different machining parameters and with different cutting tips for analysis of surface roughness, Temperature developed, Rate of metal removal and tool wear . Optimization was carried out by using Taguchi method. The optimized values of Speed, Feed rate, Type of nanoparticle with concentration, and Type of surfactant were obtained. The mixing of surfactant contributed considerably in reduction of nano particle usage. The model based predicted value and Experimental values are very close to each other.

Paper Title:

Abstract: Now a day’s energy conservation plays a major role in day to day life due to energy crisis. Thus a solution has to be given to utilize the heat energy dissipated to environment for the useful heating applications and conserve waste heat energy. The thermoelectric effect has been proven as a source of cooling and small power generation as defined by the Peltier-Seebeck effect. A novel idea of this is to utilize both heating and cooling effects generated by Thermo-Electric module so we have developed a system which will produce cooling effect without the use of mechanical devices and also this system does not require working fluids or any moving parts. Solar panel was used to power up thermoelectric modules (TE-12706 module) with the help of a battery in order to provide continuous power. The waste heat regeneration unit consisting of two parallel copper plates and a water channel with staggered fins was installed above the hot side of thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and a fan was installed in colder side for cooling purpose. The heat dissipated from the thermoelectric cooler can be removed by the cooling water such that the performance of the cooling module is elevated. The system was tested in different flow rates of water for effective utilization.

Keywords: Solar panel, TEC, Water channel, Green building.

Abstract: In this paper, a novel design of 4×4 microstrip Quasi- Yagi beam-steering antenna array operation at 3.5GHz for future 5G vehicle applications is proposed. This array consists of sixteen element antennas with dimension of 374×374×1.15mm3, which exhibits good bandwidth (impedance bandwidth of single antenna element about 440MHz for S11 less than -10dB at the center frequency of 3.5GHz) and high gain (for single antenna about 7dBi and for antenna array about 5.8~8.76dBi). The beam-steering characteristics in the operation band can nearly achieve omni-directional radiation.

Paper Title:

Abstract: Rudraksha (Elaeocarpus Ganitrus Roxb.) shows multi-elemental composition by virtue of which it is used to make the medicines, cosmetics, spiritual gems etc. The use of Rudraksha is increasing with passage of time and its cultivation is started in plains. Earlier studies were based on pharmaceutical and chemical properties. Its physical and engineering properties were not studied which varies largely with climate, soil type and altitude. Present study is based on useful physical and engineering properties of Rudraksha beads to extract useful information for design and development of grading system for value addition, conveying and milling units for design and development of processing units to satisfy global requirement of Rudraksha. The horizontal and vertical compressive strength of beads were monitored by using compression testing machine. Results showed that the compressive strength is increasing with small variations in geometrical parameters of bead. The range of compressive strength was found between 0.36 MPa to 0.80 MPa (N/mm2). After cracking us also found that in the various chamber (depend on the mukhi) inside the bead 0-3 seeds are available. To convert the Rudraksha bead into usable form it is required to be milled properly in the form of fine powder. The texture, tri-axial dimension and beads of Rudraksha were studied. The tri-axial dimension of Rudraksha green fruit is ranging from 17 mm to 33 mm. The arithmetic mean of density of Rudraksha beads of large, medium and small size are 0.82 g/cc, 1.15 g/cc and 1.01 g/cc with standard deviation of 6.8 %, 8.5 % and 10.4 % respectively. Present document is useful to design a machine to crack and make in powder form. So that compressive strength of Rudraksha bead is useful for designing a machine like milling machine, grinding machine and crushing machine to mill and crush the Rudraksha bead. These studies can change economic status of marginal and small farmers in hilly region as well as in plains.

Paper Title:

Abstract: Horn antennas are widely used in ultra-wideband (UWB) applications, medical imaging devices, and radars and also in other wireless astronomical applications; the antennas are commonly used as a feeding antenna for satellite parabolic reflectors (Daniyan et al. 2014). The use of horn antennas in wide variety of application are based on two reasons; excellent radiation characteristics with good directivity, high gain, very low level voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), wide bandwidth and it is very easy to fabricate mechanically (Singh 2011). In this paper; we will consider the design of a compact conical horn antenna designed for the visible light spectrum as an inner segment of a human photoreceptor and the outer segment of the photoreceptor is designed as a cascaded unit cells rather as an interwoven structure consisting of cytoplasm and membrane using HFSS. The unit antenna structure will be excited by plane wave and simulated to study the properties and the overall contribution of the photoreceptor’s outer segment in hyperacuity of human visual system without considering the outer segment of the rods or cones separately. In the future, the three types of cones (Large, short and medium wavelength cones) and rods will be modelled, evaluated and the outcomes will be published.

Paper Title:

Abstract: This paper provides an in-detail description of the design considerations, ansys analysis and theoretical data involved in the design of an ERGONOMIC UBERHOOD. The main objective of this paper is to design uberhoods with different shapes and obtain an efficient uberhood from the tested designs. In the wake of many two-wheeler accidents happening in rainy season due to the visibility factor, a hood can be placed to improve the visibility factor for the driver. Especially in two wheelers, there is lot of scope in the design in aerodynamics. The rider provides considerable unattended drag by acting as a bluff body, which can be reduced by stream lining the flow of air. Air should be provided with a hood so that it will get stream lined without reaching bluf body. Preliminary basic shapes like parabola and ellipse are chosen for designing the hood for BAJAJ AVENGER 220. SOLIDWORKS is used for modeling the hood. Based on the model, theoretical drag forces were calculated for the corresponding Reynold’s number. ANSYS Fluent is used to obtain pressure contours, velocity contours, drag forces and lift forces. Theoretical drag force and the simulated drag forces are compared. The results obtained from Fluent are compared with the unhooded vehicle. There is an overall reduction in drag force for hooded vehicle when compared to the unhooded vehicle.

Keywords: Ergonomic Uberhood, Bajaj Avenger 220. Solidworks, Ansys Fluent is used to obtain pressure contours, velocity contours, drag forces and lift forces.

Paper Title:

Abstract: One of the most important issue in the operation of a photovoltaic (PV) system is extracting maximum power from the PV array, especially in the partial shading condition(PSC).In this paper a PV array mathematical model with different MPPT techniques in a standalone model is validated. The characteristics of PV array are highly non-linear as they depend on temperature and irradiation. Therefore it is important to extract the optimum possible power from PV panels with control algorithms. The reduction of total efficiency of PV generation conversion is due to partial shading. PV array along with boost converter and MPPT controller are simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment. When there are changes in climatic conditions, the parameters of capacitance and inductance of the DC-DC converter will change to attain optimal efficiency. This paper presents different MPPT techniques like Perturb & observe, Incremental conductance, fuzzy logic methods to extract the optimum power from the PV panel. This paper proposes a differential power converter to overcome the PV partial shading problem along with INC control algorithm and fuzzy logic controller.
