E – Moped

The E – Moped is an experimentation for converting an engine powered vehicle to an electrically powered vehicle. In this case, a scooter is considered. It focuses on converting a readily available engine powered moped in the market and then striping the engine drive and introducing an electric drive for propulsion. The new electric drive comprises of hub motor, battery pack and ECM. The body design and framework will remain same as the manufacturer has provided. The design and implementation of electric drive is the objective. The purpose of E – Moped is to introduce an electric and affordable version of scooter which has a no adverse effect on nature and does not uses any carbon based fuel. The objective is to achieve same specification as that are observed in engine driven vehicle . The paper has a brief explanation of E – Moped with CAD design, integration procedure and testing and review.

Modelling parking for public health and education institutions in Srinagar City

Parking is mostly seen in a strategic point of view in terms of demand and supply and not much effort has been made in the developing world to forge the relationship between parking demand with the factors affecting the demand for educational institutions. The focus of this work is on modeling off-street parking at educational institutes based on user’s behavior. This work is an effort to determine the distinguishing factors affecting parking. In this study two types of multiple linear regression models using SPSS software were developed. Disaggregate model and aggregate model. The demand for this model is expressed in terms of parking usage per person per day in hours at educational institutions in Srinagar city. The disaggregate model analysis revealed that the most influencing independent variables for this model are travel distance and income per month for employees and visitors with the coefficient of variation (R) = 0.96 and coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.92 and family income and travel distance for students with the coefficient of variation (R)= 0.98 and coefficient of determination (R2)=0.96. Aggregate model study determines the most suitable independent variable for estimating the parking demand (vehicle hours) or parking supply (space hours) at educational institutions. The formula emulated can be used to establish the number of parking bays to be provided to accommodate the parking needs at educational institutions. The aggregate model analysis predicts that most fitting independent variable for determining the parking demand formula is the number of employees working at the institution with the coefficient of variation(R)=0.997 and coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.993. The most suitable model is that for which the coefficient of variation(R) and coefficient of determination (R2) is nearly equal to one. Goodness of fit test or significance test and validation test has been conducted on the developed equations and can be used with a high level of confidence.

Performance evaluation of helicoidal flow jet flocculator

Potable and safe drinking water is an essential component of livelihood. The treatment plant performance suffers due to failure of various mechanical components; hence many researchers have proposed rapid mixing of coagulant and flocculation process assisted with jet flow as a promising unit. Dhabadgaonkar, (2008) had designed helicoidal flow jet floccu-clarifier but, the formation of helicoidal flow and actual performance in the basin is still not clear. To get better understanding of this unit, only flocculator was designed and tested by using CFD approach. The study was undertaken by designing single basin flocculator using dual tangential jet with different inlet positions. The performances were compared with non-tangential single jet flocculator. Performance indicators like Morrill index, percentage of dead space and plug/mixed flow were calculated and analyzed to understand its impact. Among the three types of inlet positions studied, the basin with non-tangential single jet flocculator performed better compared to tangential jet flocculator. This study corroborates the findings of Pani and Patil (2007).

Study and compare the photodegradation efficiency of clay based compound with semiconductor oxide nanomaterials

Improvement of semiconductor oxide nanomaterials play a vital role in the photocatalytic activity of the photodegradation process. In this article, we compare the characterization property of photocatalytic activity of Bentonite clay supported ZnWO4 with heterostructured compound of BiVO4 – ZnO, and DyVO4 − ZnO. The active nanomaterials exhibit high reusability without any loss of photocatalytic property up to four successive stages. Our results give a new impact on the performance of photocatalysts on environmental remediation.

Pets and stress

There is increasing recognition of the therapeutic functions pets play in relation to mental health. Many studies have been carried out proving that the effects of pets are beneficial to overall human health. This descriptive analysis explored the relationship between pet ownership, attachment, and psychological health among college students in Mumbai. Animals that one keeps as a pet offers mental as physical health benefits. This existing evidence mentioned in this study is surveyed and responses show a direct correlation between pets and lower stress.

The motion of weak spherical shock waves in highly viscous medium

The interaction of shock waves with viscosity is one of the central problems in the supersonic regime of compressible fluid flow. The propagation of weak spherical shock waves in highly viscous uniform medium has been investigated by CCW method. It is found that the shock velocity and shock strength both decreases as shock advances for low viscous region of a medium to the high viscous region. The pressure and particle velocity behind strong shock decreases with adiabatic index and Small decreasement in the pressure and particle velocity is found with the increase in viscosity coefficient. It is shown that applications of the CCW method and the neglect of overtaking disturbances are equivalent.
