Abstract: Automobile pollution is growing day by day, hence the level of pollution in cities and urban areas is at dangerous levels due to the use of vehicles. Use electric vehicles would help reduce to some degree the pollution. Electric bike normally uses a single source of power (Battery). This single source makes the conversion efficiency low and high costs as well. So that we are adding Flexible Solar module. This electric bike uses dc motor to generate power when riding, uses Photovoltaic flexible solar panels while scooter is at rest, and a port for charging the battery from main power supply. . This electric bike uses 48V 800W brushless direct current (BLDC) hub motor and Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery. Photovoltaic flexible solar panels absorb sunlight as a source of energy to generate electricity.

Keywords: Regenerative Braking, Solar Energy, Battery.

Abstract: An implementation of a digital circuit that measures, in real time, the output power of medium-frequency (25–50 kHz) induction-heated cooking appliances, maintains and controls the power through GSM and potentiometer. The voltage and current are sensed using analog-to-digital converters that are inbuilt in Pic18. The power-measuring algorithm is very simple while maintaining good accuracy. We multiply the sensed current and voltage values and average them to calculate the average power. Maintaining power is done through the relay circuit connected to the Pic18.Controlling the power through GSM is possible through EUSART modules present in the PIC18. The algorithm is developed using Embedded C. Experimental results show its good performance, when tested with different saliency criteria, such as switching time , less computational time, and the combination of both.

Keywords: GSM, Potentiometer, PIC18F46K22 , Temperature Sensor(LM35), Solid State Relay, ADC.

Abstract: Now-a-days, encountering with lack of potable water is one of the major problems in developing as well as under-developed countries. There is a lot of saline water in earth hence to solve problem of potable water, the saline water needs to be converted into potable water. A device, which converts saline water into drinkable water, is called solar still. Solar still is a device which uses process of solar distillation. Solar distillation method is an easy, small scale and cost-effective technique for providing drinking water. It requires an energy input as heat and the solar radiation can be the source of energy. In every efficient solar still design, water temperature, distillate output, and difference between water temperature and inner glass cover temperatures are very important. Many scientists of world have worked on solar still to increase the output. There are different types of solar still designs available with different mechanical structures and performance characteristics including single slope solar still, hemispherical solar still, pyramid solar still, double slope solar still and so on. In this thesis, the main aspect of research is focusing on single slope solar still with single basin along with its design, requirements of components, implementation and analysis of the effect of slope of glass on performance of this design in providing drinking water from saline water. In this work, an attempt is made to develop the experimental setup to perform experiments on solar still having movable slope. Proper insulation and sealing is ensured to trap the heat in the basin without any leakage of water and heat. In-depth study of literature is done on the basis of different types of solar still, simulation done as well as designing done on them. Based on the literature, it has been decided to develop the experimental setup of single basin solar still with adjustable/ changeable slope with some modification for experimentation considering different slope angles to check effect on temperature and efficiency of solar still. An attempt will be made for experimental evaluation and cfd analysis at different slope angles to find the angle of slope at which the efficiency is more. DP-1 status involved thorough design, 3D model and parameters/ elements needed for experimentation. In MSR, the actual working model along with analysis/ reading based on experimental evaluation is carried out and in DP-2 CFD-analysis and comparison between experimental and CFD-analysis is done.

Keywords: Solar Still, Variable Slope of Glass Cover, Experiment, Thermal Analysis, Comparison.

Abstract: The present work determines the impact of some of the main factors influencing the quality of the welding joint during underwater welding in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) with two arcs supplied by two power sources. The variables chosen are: the alteration of the currents in the welding arcs, the distance between the arcs and the welding speed. The problem is solved by mathematical planning of the experiment whereby the optimization parameter is the hardness in the zone of thermal influence. The experiments were carried out on the basis of the accepted Common Central Composite Plan (CCCP) with the selected factors and levels of variation. The processing of the statistical data through the Microsoft Office Excel software enables the calculation of the regression coefficients and the regression equation.

Keywords: Underwater Twin-Arc Welding; Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW); Low-Alloy Shipbuilding Steel.

Abstract: This study presents the results of a computer simulation study of thermal processes in low-carbon Manual Metal Arc (MMA) hardfacing plates with E DUR600. The problems related to the thermal processes occurring during the heating of sheets of steel DD11, manual metal arc hardfacing with electrodes E DUR600, by examining the influence of temperatures, the heating time and the geometry of the test plates. By computer simulation using SolidWorks software, which have Finite Element Analysis (FEA) engineering systems resulting in simulations of temperature distribution over time and the direction of heat fluxes in the thermal influence zone after the MMA hardfacing process.The method aims to increase the exploitation qualities of the treated surfaces, which in turn leads to the need for experimental study of the heat processes occurring in the process of heating, retention and cooling.Based on the comparison of the theoretical and experimental study in MMA hardfacing of plates, it can be concluded that simulation studies through the mathematical model adequately represent the processes of distribution of the thermal field in depth of the real object.
