Carbon Nanotubesto be used in innovative safety technology to prevent explosions in Fuel Tanks.

Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are to be used in an innovative safety technology that significantly reduces the riskof explosions in fuel tanks. MWNT (multi wall carbon nanotube) is use to manufacture the newly developed spheresdesigned to prevent the formation of explosive gas mixtures in fuel tanks. The spheres are soon to be introduced onto theglobal market under the name SAFEBALL. They offer considerable advantages over the extruded metal mesh or plasticfoams used for this purpose to date. SAFEBALLS take the form of hollow spheres that are introduced into a tank andcompletely fill it. Despite this, the available volume of the tank is only reduced by approx. 8.5 percent.

Two of the advantages of SAFEBALLS are that they not only prevent an explosive mixture of gas and air in a tank from exploding, but also allowthe tank to "breathe", so that significantly smaller quantities of hydrocarbons are released into the environment. In this way, the spheres can alsomake a significant contribution to environmental protection in the future.

Their special shape allows fuel to flow freely but prevents any dangerous surging. Surging occurs when large volumes of liquid are displaced, forexample while a road tanker is in operation, thus affecting the vehicles stability and even potentially causing it to tip over. When a tank is to becleaned, the SAFEBALL spheres can easily be removed and then replaced once the operation is complete. They are also treated with anti-fungaland anti-bacterial agents.

All these benefits are due not least to the exceptional properties of nanotubes MaterialScience. Nanotubes exhibit a high level of electricalconductivity and mechanical strength and are extremely light in weight.

"Without carbon nanotubes it would have been impossible to develop the technology so quickly the inventor of the SAFEBALL concept, at thesigning of the agreement. "Bayer Material Science was our first choice supplier right from the start, because we knew we could rely absolutely onthe specified purity and quality of the CNTs and, even more importantly, on BMSs ability to deliver the raw materials we need to meet increasingorder volumes."

SAFEBALLS can be provided with a range of additional functions for special applications. These include fire-extinguishing - for which a specialgel is incorporated into the spheres - and the integration of active and passive transponders that enable vehicle data to be electronically stored toprevent theft or provide information on maintenance.

Why T-90is the Main Battle Tank in the Indian Army?

The T-90 is a Russian main battle tank (MBT) derived from the T-72, and is currently the most modern tank in service wi th theRussian Ground Forces, Naval Infantry and the Indian Army. The successor to the T-72BM, the T-90 uses the tank gun and1G46 gunner sights from the T-80U, a new engine, and thermal sights. Protective measures include Kontakt-5 ERA, laserwarning receivers, the EMT-7 electromagnetic pulse (EMP) creator for the destruction of magnetic mines and the Shtorainfrared ATGM jamming system. It is designed and built by Uralvagonzavod, in Nizhny Tagil, Russia.

The Design

The T-90's main armament is the 2A46M 125 mm smoothbore tank gun. This is a highly modified version of the Sprut anti-tankgun, and is the same gun used as the main armament on the T-80-series tanks. It can be replaced without dismantling the innerturret and is capable of firing armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS), high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT-FS),and high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) ammunition, as well as 9M119M Refleks anti-tank guided missiles. The Refleksmissile has semi-automatic laser beam-riding guidance and a tandem hollow-charge HEAT warhead. It has an effective range of100 m to 6 km, and takes 17.5 seconds to reach maximum range. Refleks can penetrate about 950 millimetres (37 in) of steelarmour and can also engage low-flying air targets such as helicopters.

The NSV 12.7 mm (12.7x108) anti-aircraft machine gun can be operated from wi thin the tank by the commander and has a rangeof 2 km and a cyclic rate of fire of 650-750 rounds per minute with 300 rounds available. The PKT 7.62 mm (7.62x54mm R)coaxial machine gun weighs about 10.5 kg while the ammunition box carries 250 rounds (7000 rounds carried) and weighs anadditional 9.5 kg.

Like other modern Russian tanks the 2A46M in the T-90 is fed by an automatic loader which removes the need for a manualloader in the tank and reduces the crew to 3 (commander, gunner and driver). The autoloader can carry 22 ready-to-fire rounds inits carousel and can load a round in 58 seconds. It has been suggested that the automatic loaders on modern T-90 tanks havebeen modified to take advantage of newer ammunition such as the 3BM-44M APFSDS, which l ike the US M829A3 penetratesarmour better than the previous shorter rounds. Additionally the T-90 features the Ainet fuse setting system which allows the tankto detonate HE-FRAG rounds at a specific distance from the tank as determined by the gunners laser rangefinder, improving

performance against helicopters and infantry.

Fire-control system on the T-90 includes the PNK-4S/SR AGAT day and night sighting system mounted at the commandersstation which allows for night time detection of a tank sized target at ranges between 700 and 1100 meters depending on theversion of the sight. Early models of the T-90 were equipped with the TO1-KO1 BURAN sight but later models (T-90S) wereupgraded to use the ESSA thermal imaging sight, which allows for accurate firing to a range of 50008000 m using theCATHERINE-FC thermal camera produced by Thales Optronique. The gunner is also provided with the 1G46 day sightingsystem which includes a laser range finder, missile guidance channel and allows tank-sized targets to be detected and engagedat 5 to 8 kilometres (3.1 to 5.0 mi). The driver users a TVN-5 day and night sight.

The Future: Hybrid Electric Vehicle

A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) propulsion system with anelectric propulsion system. The presence of the electric powertrain is intended to achieve either better fuel economythan a conventional vehicle, or better performance. A variety of types of HEV exist, and the degree to which theyfunction as EVs varies as well. The most common form of HEV is the hybrid electric car, although hybrid electric trucks

(pickups and tractors) also exist.

Modern HEVs make use of efficiency-improving technologies such as regenerative braking, which converts thevehicle's kinetic energy into battery-replenishing electric energy, rather than wasting it as heat energy as conventionalbrakes do. Some varieties of HEVs use their internal combustion engine to generate electricity by spinning anelectrical generator (this combination is known as a motor-generator), to either recharge their batteries or to directlypower the electric drive motors. Many HEVs reduce idle emissions by shutting down the ICE at idle and restarting itwhen needed; this is known as a start-stop system. A hybrid-electric produces less emissions from its ICE than acomparably-sized gasoline car, as an HEV's gasoline engine is usually smaller than a pure fossil-fuel vehicle, and ifnot used to directly drive the car, can be geared to run at maximum efficiency, further improving fuel economy.

DevelopmentsAutomotive hybrid technology became widespread beginning in the late 1990s. The first mass-produced hybrid vehicle was the Toyota Prius, launched in Japan in 1997, and followedby the Honda Insight, launched in 1999 in the United States and Japan. The Prius was launched in Europe, North America and the rest of the world in 2000. The first generation Priussedan has an estimated fuel economy of 52 miles per US gallon (4.5 L/100 km; 62 mpg-imp) in the city and 45 miles per US gallon (5.2 L/100 km; 54 mpg-imp) in highway driving. Thetwo-door first generation Insight was estimated at 61 miles per US gallon (3.9 L/100 km; 73 mpg-imp) miles per gallon in city driving and 68 miles per US gallon (3.5 L/100 km; 82 mpg-imp) on the highway. The Toyota Prius sold 300 units in 1997, 19,500 in 2000, and cumulative worldwide Prius sales reached the 1 million mark in April 2008.[36] By early 2010, thePrius global cumulative sales were estimated at 1.6 million units. Toyota launched a second generation Prius in 2004 and a third in 2009. The 2010 Prius has an estimated U.S. EPAcombined fuel economy cycle of 50 miles per US gallon (4.7 L/100 km; 60 mpg-imp).

The Audi Duo III was introduced in 1997, based on the Audi B5 A4 Avant, and was the only Duo to ever make it into series production. The Duo III used the 1.9 lit re Turbocharged DirectInjection (TDI) diesel engine, which was coupled with an 21 kilowatts (29 PS; 28 bhp) electric motor. The redesigned 2004 Toyota Prius (second generation) improved passengerroom, cargo area, and power output, while increasing energy efficiency and reducing emissions. The Honda Insight first generation stopped being produced after 2006 and has adevoted base of owners. A second generation Insight was launched in 2010. In 2004, Honda also released a hybrid version of the Accord but discontinued it in 2007 citing disappointingsales. The Ford Escape Hybrid, the first hybrid electric sport utility vehicle (SUV) was released in 2005. Toyota and Ford entered into a licensing agreement in March 2004 allowing Fordto use 20 patents[citation needed] from Toyota related to hybrid technology, although Ford's engine was independently designed and built. In 2006, General Motors Saturn Divisionbegan to market a mild parallel hybrids in the form of the 2007 Saturn Vue Green Line which utilized GM's Belted Alternator/Starter (BAS Hybrid) System combined with a 2.4 litre L4engine and a FWD automatic transmission. The same hybrid powertrain was also used to power the 2008 Saturn Aura Greenline and Mailbu Hybrid models. As of December 2009, onlythe BAS equipped Malibu is still in (limited) production.

In 2007, Lexus released a hybrid electric version of their GS sport sedan, the GS 450h, with a power output of 335 bhp. The 2007 Camry Hybrid became available in Summer 2006 inthe United States and Canada. Nissan launched the Altima Hybrid with technology licensed by Toyota in 2007. For the 2009 model year, General Motors released the same technologyin their half-ton pickup truck models, the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Two-Mode Hybrid models. The Ford Fusion Hybrid officially debuted at the Greater Los AngelesAuto Show in November 2008, and was launched to the U.S. market in March 2009, together with the second generation Honda Insight and the Mercury Milan Hybrid.

Latest DevelopmentsThe Hyundai Elantra LPI Hybrid was unveiled at the 2009 Seoul Motor Show, and sales began in the South Korean domestic market in July 2009. The Elantra LPI (Liquefied PetroleumInjected) is the world's first hybrid vehicle to be powered by an internal combustion engine built to run on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a fuel. The Elantra PLI is a mild hybrid and thefirst hybrid to adopt advanced lithium polymer (LiPoly) batteries. The Elantra LPI Hybrid delivers a fuel economy rating of 41.9 miles per US gallon (5.61 L/100 km; 50.3 mpg-imp) andCO2 emissions of 99 g/km to qualify as a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV).[49] Hyundai has scheduled the launch of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid by the end of 2010.The Mercedes-Benz S400 BlueHybrid was unveiled in the 2009 Chicago Auto Show, and sales began in the U.S. in October 2009. The S400 BlueHybrid is a mild hybrid and the firsthybrid car to adopt a lithium ion battery. The hybrid technology in the S400 was co-developed by Daimler AG and BMW. The same hybrid technology is being used in the BMW 7 SeriesActiveHybrid, expected to go on sales in the U.S. and Europe by mid 2010. The CR-Z is scheduled to be launched in the European and North American markets by mid 2010. Hondahas also scheduled the launch of the 2011 Honda Fit Hybrid by the end of 2010. Toyota announced plans to add hybrid drivetrains to ten new hybrid models between 2009 and 2012 andexpects to sell worldwide one million hybrids per year early in this decade. Two of Toyota's latest concept cars are the Pr ius Custom Plus Concept and the Toyota FT-CH (Future ToyotaCompact Hybrid). The Prius Custom Plus is a modification of the Toyota Prius and shown at the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon.

Volkswagen announced at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show the launch of the 2012 Touareg Hybrid, scheduled for 2011. VW also announced plans to introduce diesel-electric hybridversions of its most popular models in 2012, beginning with the new Jetta, followed by the Golf Hybrid in 2013 together with hybrid versions of the Passat. Other gasoline-electrichybrids already schedule for commercial sales are the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and the Porshe Cayenne Hybrid, both for late 2010, and the Lexus CT 200h in 2011.

The paper presented on Experimental Investigation of Performanceand Exhaust Emissions of Karanj Methyl Ester and its blendsin a Compression Ignition Engine and Combined Cooling,Heating and Power: An efficient, decentralized generation ofenergy

The paper was presented in the International Symposium on Fuels and Lubricants(ISFL-2010), New Delhi, Organized by the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) on the topicExperimental Investigation of Performance and Exhaust Emissions of Karanj Methyl


JOURNALS/ARTICLES BY THE FACULTY

Ester and its blends in a Compression Ignition Engine by Mr. Kamal Kishore Khatri, Dilip Sharma and S.L Sonifrom the Department of Mechanical Engineering, MNIT, Jaipur and Deepak Tanwar from the Department of CivilEngineering, MNIT, Jaipur. The abstract of the paper presented can be briefly stated as follows.

Experimental investigations were carried out to analyze the performance and emission characteristics of Karanjoil blend (K-20) and Karanj Oil Methyl Ester (KOME) blends in a direct injection C.I. engine. KOME was preparedfrom Karanj oil using alkaline catalyzed traensesterification. Important fuel properties of Karanj oil, KOME,KOME-diesel blends and pure diesel were compared. BSFC, BTE, and exhaust emissions were measured forthese fuels. Performance and emission results show the B-20 as optimum blend among the different blends. Itshows K-20 blend as poorer than diesel and B-20 but better than higher KOME blends. Hence B-20 and K-20blends of Karanj oil may be used successfully as promising alternate fuels for C.I. engines.

The second paper was presented in a National Conference held at YIT, Jaipur on 30th of April, 2010 onCombined Cooling, Heating and Power: An efficient, decentralized generation of energy by the ex-students ofthe institute, Kautilya Institute of Technology & Engineering and School of Management, Jaipur, Mr. Sumit Mittal,Ashish Puri and Sandhya Singh of Mechanical Engineering Department under the guidance of Mr. KamalKishore Khatri, Dilip Sharma and S.L Soni from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, MNIT, Jaipur. Theabstract of the paper presented can be briefly stated as follows.

Energy conservation and environmental protection have become crucial for sustainable development of theworld. So all together we have to search for the sources that are highly efficient, less polluting, cheap and mostimportant it should last for very long time. Combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) or trigeneration hasemerged as promising technology for achieving the goal mentioned above. It is more efficient and less pollutingthan electricity generated from single generation or centralized generation. This makes cogeneration andTrigeneration the cleanest, most environmentally friendly, and least cost method to generate electricity using anyfossil fuel such as natural gas or renewable fuel such as biomethane, biodiesel or ethanol. Combined Cooling,heating, and power has been proven beneficial in many industrial situations by increasing the overall thermalefficiency, reducing the total power requirement, and providing higher quality, more reliable power. Applying thistechnology to large as well as smaller scale residential and small commercial buildings is an attractive optionbecause of the large potential market. In this paper, detailed review of Trigeneration technique, its componentsand some case studies available in literature have been presented.

Choppers: The Easy-RiderAn Overview

What exactly is a Chopper?The definition is fairly flexible, varying from one region to another, but in general, a Chopper is a customized minimalistic design of a motorcycle with essential parts to make it roll on the road. Within themotorcyclist community, there's a group of enthusiasts who like to get back to the basics. They want to ride bikes that are powerful, fast and stripped down to the bare essentials. They might take an existing bikeand tear it apart, or they might start from scratch to build a bike to their own specifications relieved of excess weight by removing parts, particularly the fenders, with the intent of making it lighter and thus faster, orat least making it look better in the eyes of a rider seeking a more minimalist ride giving birth to the Chopper.

A quick look at the past...The history of the chopper begins shortly after World War II. Many of veterans removed the front fender from the bikes. The rear fender often came in two pieces the soldiers removed the rearmost section. Theycalled the new, shorter fenders "bobbed" fenders, and so people who rode bikes with these sorts of modifications were called bobbers. Movies like "Easy Rider" and "The Wild One" brought choppers to thepublic's attention. In the 1980s, motorcycle companies like Harley-Davidson began to offer what they called custom bikes, mass-manufactured motorcycles based off the most popular chopper designs. Coupledwith an economic recession, this move nearly made chopper culture go extinct. It was only in the mid-'90s that custom bike shops began to flourish again, and today the culture is as strong as it ever was.

Formed in 1999 hasdistinguished itself as one of the worlds top builders ofcustom bikes. The machines being build at OCC are

custom motorcycles that are hand crafted by the trio -Mikey, Paul Junior and Paul Senior, or best known as theTeutuls family from American Chopper. , the bikefrom OCC as contracted by Intel to build a state of the artmotorcycle using the baby blue Intel theme logo is thehighest tech bike in the world with a 250-horsepowerworkstation on wheels, unveiled simultaneously in meatspace and Second Life in honor of the Xeon 5300 seriesrelease, probably sports more digital kit than Sturgis orLaconia have ever seen, including either a quad or octocore chipset, removable UMPC that doubles as a virtualdashboard, rear-facing cameras to replace the mirrors,full audio and video capabilities, GPS ofcourse, and whatsounds like a 3G data connection.

1. Chopper Frames: To get its monster look, a chopperhas to have the right frame. There are two main kindsof frames used in choppers: hard-tail frames and soft-tail frames. A hard-tail frame is a solid frame with norear wheel suspension system. Hard-tails have the

classic lines that chopper enthusiasts love, but theytend to give very bumpy rides. Soft-tail frames haverear-wheel suspension, meaning the frame comes intwo major pieces. The front part of the frame is wherethe engine, transmission, fork and handlebars ismounted. The rear section is where the rear wheel ismounted. The two sections are connected togetherusing bolts, brackets, spacers and other equipment,depending on the frame's manufacturer. At the frontend of the frame, whether it's a soft-tail or hard-tail iswhere the fork assembly is mounted. The forkassembly is the part of the bike that connects the fronttire and handlebars to the frame. The fork assemblyalso includes the front wheel suspension system,which usually either uses springs or hydraulics.

2. Chopper Rake and Trail: The rakeis the angle formed between theneck on the frame of a bike and avertical line. The bigger the angle,the further out the front wheel will be

from the frame. The distancebetween the points where the tiremakes contact with the ground anda vertical line from the center of thefront wheel's steering axis to theground is the bike's trail. Trail ismeasured in inches, and inmotorcycles should always be apositive number, a negative trailmeans an unstable ride. Trail isimportant, too little or too much trailand the bike will be sluggish or evenimpossible to control. The ideal traillength tends to range between 3.5and 6 inches.

3. Chopper Engines: Bikebuilders have a lot ofchoices when it comes toengines and how to mountthem. Engines come with

names like Evo, Twin Cam,Shovelhead, Panhead andKnuck lehead . Someengines work better withcertain frames, in fact,some frames are designedspecifically to hold aparticular engine. Buildershave to be aware of anengine's dimensions tomake sure they have theright amount of clearancein their frame once they'vei n s t a l l e d a l l t h e i r components.

4. Chopper Transmissions: Transmissions sit behindthe engine and come in four-, five- and six-speedvarieties. Most modern choppers use either five- orsix-speed transmissions, only older choppers or bikesdesigned to look like vintage models use a four-speed

transmission. The transmission powers the drivesystem for the chopper, which is either a chain systemor a belt system. Chains and belts connect one side ofthe drive system, the transmission, to the other side,the rear tire. Transmissions only provide power to therear tire; the front wheels aren't powered. A smallsprocket in the drive system turns the chain or belt atthe transmission end, which then turns a largersprocket at the tire end, making the tire move. Mostchoppers use an open primary system, meaning thebelt or chain isn't covered by housing or casing, it's leftout in the open for all to admire.

nanoTATA

The cheapest Indian car, dream of a middle class family.

I hope this changes the waypeople travel in rural India. We

are a country of a billion andmost are denied connectivity,this is a car that is affordable

and provides all-weathertransport for the family.

- Ratan Tata

The introduction of the Nano received media attention due to its targeted lowprice. The Financial Times reporter, If ever there were a symbol of Indiasambitions to become a modern nation, it would surely be the Nano, the tiny carwith the even tinier price-tag. The car is expected to boost the Indian Economy,create entrepreneurial-opportunities across India as well as expand the Indian carmarket by 65%. The car was envisioned by Ratan Tata, Chairman of the TataGroup and Tata Motors, who has described it as an eco-friendly "people's car".Nano has been greatly appreciated by many sources and the media for its low-cost and eco-friendly initiatives which include using compressed-air as fuel and anelectric-version (E-Nano).Tata Group is expected to mass-manufacture the Nano,

particularly the electric-version, and, besides selling them in India, to also exportthem worldwide

Tata Nano is a rear-engine, four-passenger city car built by Tata Motors, aimedprimarily at the Indian market. The car has a fuel efficiency of around 26 kilometersper liters on the highway and around 22 kilometers per liters in the city. The carsstarted to be delivered to customers after July 17, 2009.with a starting price of Rs100,000, which is approximately equal to UK1,360 or US$2,160 as of December2009. This is cheaper than the Maruti 800, its main competitor and next cheapestIndian car priced at Rs 184,641 ($3,988 U.S.).Tata had sought to produce theleast expensive production car in the world, aiming for a starting price of Rs100,000 (approximately US$2,000) as of June 2009."Nano" means "small" in Gujarati, the language of the founders of the Tata Group."Nano" from the SI prefix for one-billionth is derived from the Greek and issometimes used to mean "small" in English

A team of 500 people worked on creating the Nano - Tata aims to prove that Indiacan compete on the world market as an innovative car maker. To achieve itsdesign goals, Tata refined the manufacturing process, emphasized innovationand sought new design approaches from suppliers. The car was designed atItaly's Institute of Development in Automotive Engineering with Ratan Tatarequesting certain changes, such as the elimination of one of two windscreenwipers. Many components of the Nano are made in Germany by Bosch, such asfuel injection, brake system, Value Motronic ECU, ABS and other technologies.The Nano has 21% more interior space (albeit mostly as headroom, due to its tallstance)and an 8% smaller exterior compared to its closest rival, the Maruti 800.Tata offered the car in three versions: the basic Tata Nano Std; the CX; and the LX.The CX and LX versions each have air conditioning, power windows, and centrallocking. Tata has set its initial production target at 250,000 units per year.

Cost cutting featuresThe Nano's trunk does not open. Instead, the rear seats can be folded down to access the boot.It has a single windscreen wiper instead of the usual pair.It has no power steering.The base model has only three lug nuts on the wheels instead of the usual four.The base model has only one side view mirror.Some use of plastic and glue in place of welded steelManually operated side windowsAir conditioning/heating not part of base modelAirbags not part of base modelEngine is much smaller (623 cc) than the other cars but is suitable for city driving.

ModelsTata initially targeted the vehicle as "the least expensive production car in the world aiming for a starting price of 100,000 rupees or approximately US$2000 (using exchange rate as of 22 March 2009 6 yearsago. despite rapidly rising material prices at the time.At its launch the Nano was available in three trim levels:the basic Tata Nano Std priced at 123,000 Rupees has no extras;the deluxe Tata Nano CX at 151,000 Rupees has air conditioning;the luxury Tata Nano LX at 172,000 Rupees has air conditioning, power windows, fabric seats and central lockingthe Nano Europa, European version of the Tata Nano has all of the above plus a larger body, bigger 3-cylinder engine, anti-lock braking system (ABS) and meets European crash standards and emission

The Iron Pillar of DelhiThe iron pillar of Delhi, India is a 7 meter high pillar in the Qutb complex which is notable for the composition of the metals used in its construction.

The pillar, which weighs more than six tons, is said to have been fashioned at the time of Chandragupta Vikramaditya (375413),though other authoritiesgive dates as early as 912 BCE. The pillar initially stood in the centre of a Jain temple complex housing twenty-seven temples that were destroyed by Qutb-ud-din Aybak, and their material was used in building the Qutub Minar and Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque. The pillar and ruins of the temple stand all around theQutb complex today. The pillar is 98% pure wrought i ron, and is a testament to the high level of skill achieved by ancient Indian ironsmiths. It has attractedthe attention of both archaeologists and metallurgists, as it has withstood corrosion for over 1,600 years in the open air.The pillar, almost seven meters high and weighing more than six tons, was erected by Chandragupta Vikramaditya (375 CE414 CE), (interpretation based

on analysis of archer type Gupta gold coins) of the Gupta dynasty that ruled northern India 320540. The pillar with the statue of Chakra at the top wasoriginally located at a place called Vishnupadagiri (meaning hill with footprint of Lord Vishnu). This has been identified as modern Udayagiri, situated inthe vicinity of Besnagar, Vidisha and Sanchi.The pillar bears a Sanskrit inscription in Brahmi script which states that it was erected as a standard in honour of Lord Vishnu. It also praises the valor andqualities of a king referred to simply as Chandra, who has been identified with the Gupta King Chandragupta Vikramaditya (375-413). It is believed by somethat the pillar was installed in its current location by Vigraha Raja, the ruling Rajput Tomar king.One of the inscriptions on the iron pillar from A.D. 1052mentions Rajput king Anangpal II.Made up of 98% pure wrought iron, it is 7.21m (23 feet 8 inches) high, with 93 cm (36.6 inches) buried below the presentfloor level, and has a diameter of 41 cm (16 inches) at the bottom which tapers towards the upper end. The pillar was manufactured by forge welding. Thetemperatures required to form such a pillar by forge welding could only have been achieved by the combustion of coal.[citation needed] The pillar is atestament to the high level of skill achieved by ancient Indian iron smiths in the extraction and processing of iron.

A fence was erected around the pillar in 1997 in response to damage caused by visitors. There is a popular tradition that i t was considered good luck if youcould stand with your back to the pillar and make your hands meet behind it.

Mikoyan MiG-29MiG-29 (disambiguation)

The Mikoyan MiG-29Russian is a 4th-generation jet fighter aircraft designed in the Soviet Union for an air superiority role. Developed in the1970s by the Mikoyan design bureau, it entered service wi th the Soviet Air Force in 1983, and remains in use by the Russian Air Force as well asin many other nations. The NATO name "Fulcrum" was unofficially used by Soviet pilots in service. The MiG-29 along with the Su-27 weredeveloped to counter new American fighters such as the F-15 Eagle, and the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

In 1969 the Soviet Union learned of the U.S. Air Force's "F-X" program, which resulted in the F-15 Eagle. The Soviet leadership soon realizedthat the new American fighter would represent a serious technological advantage over existing Soviet fighters. What was needed was a better-balanced fighter with both good agility and sophisticated systems. In response, the Soviet General Staff issued a requirement for aPerspektivnyy Frontovoy Istrebitel (PFI, literally "Perspective Frontline Fighter", roughly "Advanced Frontline Fighter"). Specifications wereextremely ambitious, calling for long range, good short-field performance (including the ability to use austere runways), excellent agility, Mach2+ speed, and heavy armament. The aerodynamic design for the new aircraft was largely carried out by the Russian aerodynamics instituteTsAGI in collaboration with the Sukhoi design bureau.

Design

PowerplantThe MiG-29 has two widely spaced Klimov RD-33 turbofan engines, each rated at 50.0 kN (11,240 lb) dry and 81.3 kN (18,277 lb) in afterburner.The space between the engines generates lift, thereby reducing effective wing loading, to improve maneuverability. The engines are fedthrough wedge-type intakes fitted under the leading-edge extensions (LERXs), which have variable ramps to allow high-Mach speeds. As anadaptation to rough-field operations, the main air inlet can be closed completely and alter using the auxiliary air inlet on the upper fuselage fortakeoff, landing and low-altitude flying, preventing ingestion of ground debris (foreign object damage [FOD]). Thereby the engines receive airthrough louvers on the LERXs which open automatically when intakes are closed. However the latest variant of the family, the MiG-35,eliminated these dorsal louvers, and adopted the mesh screens design in the main intakes, similar to those fitted to the Su-27.

Range and fuel systemThe internal fuel capacity of the original MiG-29B is only 4,365 litres distributed between six internal fuel tanks, four in the fuselage and one ineach wing. As a result, the aircraft has a very limited range, in line with the original Soviet requirements for a point-defense fighter. For longerflights, this can be supplemented by a 1,500-litre (330 Imp gal, 395 US gal) centreline drop tank and, on later production batches, two 1,150-litre

(253 Imp gal, 300 US gal) underwing drop tanks. In addition, a small number have been fitted with port-side inflight refueling probes, allowingmuch longer flight times by using a probe-and-drogue system. Some MiG-29B airframes have been upgraded to the "Fatback" configuration(MiG-29 9-13), which adds a dorsal-mounted internal fuel tank. Advanced variants, such as the MiG-35, can be fitted with a conformal fuel tankon the dorsal spine, although none of them have yet entered service.

CockpitThe cockpit features a conventional centre stick and left hand throttle controls. The pilot sits in a Zvezda K-36DM zero-zero ejection seat whichhas had impressive performance in emergency escapes.The cockpit has conventional dials, with a head-up display (HUD) and a Shchel-3UM helmet mounted display, but no HOTAS ("hands-on-throttle-and-stick") capability. Emphasis seems to have been placed on making the cockpit similar to the earlier MiG-23 and other Soviet aircraftfor ease of conversion, rather than on ergonomics. Upgraded models introduce "glass cockpits" with modern liquid-crystal (LCD) multi-functiondisplays (MFDs) and true HOTAS.

SensorsThe baseline MiG-29B has a Phazotron RLPK-29 (Radiolokatsyonnui Pritselnui Kompleks) radar fire control system (FCS) which includes theN019 (Sapfir 29; NATO: 'Slot Back') look-down/shoot-down coherent pulse-Doppler radar and the Ts100.02-02 digital computer. Trackingrange against a fighter-sized target was only about 70 km (38 nmi) in the frontal aspect and 35 km (19 nmi) in the rear aspect. Range againstbomber-sized targets was roughly double. Ten targets could be displayed in search mode, but the radar had to lock onto a single target for semi-active homing (SARH). The signal processor had trouble with ground clutter, reducing ranges in the look-down mode. The radar was alsosusceptible to jamming. These problems meant the MiG-29 was not able to reliably utilize the new Vympel R-27R (NATO: AA-10 "Alamo") long-

range SARH missile at its maximum ranges.Gyanendra Panday

HOW TO WORK SMART

IN YOUR JOB ?

The Six-Stroke EngineUnder the hood of almost all modern automobiles there sits a four-stroke internal combustion engine (ICE). Though the efficiency of thedesign has been improved upon significantly in the intervening years, the basic concept is the same today as that used by the first practicalfour-stroke engine built in the 1870s. During every cycle in a typical car engine, each piston moves up and down twice in the chamber,resulting in four total strokes one of which is the power stroke that provides the torque to move the vehicle. But the automotive industry maysoon be revolutionized by a new six-stroke design which adds a second power stroke, resulting in a much more efficient and less pollutingalternative.In a traditional ICE cycle,1) the fuel/air valves open as the piston moves down, which draws air and fuel into the chamber;2) the valves close as the piston moves back up, putting the air/fuel mixture under pressure;3) the mixture is then ignited, causing a small explosion which forces the piston back down, which turns the crank and provides the torque;and finally4) the exhaust valves open as the piston moves back up once again, pushing the byproducts of the fuel explosion out of the chamber.

This leaves the piston back in its starting position, ready for another cycle. This process is repeated thousands of times per minute. The clevernew six-stroke design was developed by 75-year-old mechanic and tinkerer Bruce Crower, a veteran of the racing industry and a the owner ofa company which produces high-performance cams and other engine parts. He modified a single-cylinder engine on his workbench to usethe new design, and after fabricating the parts and assembling the powerplant, he poured in some gas and yanked the starter rope. Hisprototype worked. His addition to the ICE design is simple in principle, yet a stroke of genius. After the exhaust cycles out of the chamber,rather than squirting more fuel and air into the chamber, his design injects ordinary water. Inside the extremely hot chamber, the waterimmediately turns to steam expanding to 1600 times its volume which forces the piston down for a second power stroke. Another exhaustcycle pushes the steam out of the chamber, and then the six-stroke cycle begins again. Besides providing power, this water injection cyclecools the engine from within, making an engines heavy radiator, coolant, and fans obsolete. Despite its lack of a conventional liquid coolingsystem, his bench engine is only warm to the touch while it is running. Offsetting that, of course, would be the need to carry large quantities ofwater, and water is heavier than gasoline or diesel oil. Preliminary estimates suggest a Crower cycle engine will use roughly as many gallonsof water as fuel.Bruce Crower holds a patent on the new design which he is still developing and tweaking but he estimates that eventuallyhis six-stroke engine could improve a typical engines fuel consumption by as much as forty percent.

BIODIESEL: Futuristic Fuel

The essential process for making diesel fuel out of biomass, was used in the 1800's for its primary product, glycerin for soap. It was

also used exclusively in Rudolf Diesel's engine from the time he invented it until the 1920's, when modifications were made to theengine so that it could accept Number 2 diesel, a residue of petroleum. People have made their own biodiesel for use in their enginesince the 1970's, and it has become an increasingly popular alternative today.

Biodiesel is a diesel replacement fuel made from etherification of new and used vegetable and animal oils. Biodiesel, just likeethanol and petroleum, can be blended with regular diesel fuel. Blends of biodiesel and diesel up to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80%diesel) usually can be used in unmodified diesel engines with no problems. Richer blends, even pure B100 biodiesel, can be usedin some unmodified diesel engines, but the effect on the engine's durability is questioned by scientists. Biodiesel is gainingpopularity in many countries, particularly in regions where regular diesel is already popular. Little testing about to the long-termeffects of biodiesel on unmodified engines limits the extent of biodiesel usage, but Europe, United States, Brazil, and even Canadaare all actively developing and advocating biodiesel. Brazil opened a biodiesel refinery in March 2005 which by 2011 will produceenough biodiesel to incorporate 5% biodiesel into regular diesel fuel nationwide. The United States offers a federal tax credit tobiodiesel consumers, although it is still only available in ural areas.

Importance of workshop

Workshop practice is useful to students of all branches of

engineering courses. Workshop provides the basic workingknowledge of production and properties of differentmaterials.The workshop explains the use of differentmachinery, equipments, tools and techniques ofmanufacturing, which ultimately facilite shaping of materialsin to various useful forms.

The study of workshop has therefore been madecompulsory these days for an engineer irrespective ofbranch, so that one can make himself acquainted with thebasic knowledge of manufacturing process and materials.
