This Latest Trends in Automobiles Mech Eng Student Technical Seminar discusses the latest trends in automobiles The objective of this project is to provide an intermediate solution to the problem of limited fossil fuels in the form of HYBRIDS(Hydrogen, electric-fuel cell and bio-diesel)

The present generation automobiles are running with battery and electric system. Electric automobile is a motor vehicle powered by rechargeable batteries without the use of other fuel. The advantage of these hybrid vehicles is: in both systems, the battery is recharged while driving. At times, when the car is coasting. Neither gasoline nor electric power is needed, they need not be plugged into an electrical outlet for charging. So, fuel is not wasted while idling.

The project discusses on The Hybrid drive runs on both the gas and the electric motors to produce continuously variable output, a process the inventor calls “torque amplification”. The parts of automobile that transmit power from the engine to the driving wheels make up the power train. But the latest trend in automobile is “hybrid power train” which gains respect for providing a transition strategy from hydrocarbon fuels to a carbonless society and enables renewable energy sources.

CONCLUSION:

This project projects on what the research and development in automobile manufacturing is centered on i.e substituting fossil fuels.  Hydrogen electric fuel cells, with hybrid accord is the current trend. As hydrogen is an present in abundance and productive fuel with many potential uses,transition to “Hydrogen Economy” is on its way barriers do exist and makes hydrogen the energy of the future.

This Coming Clean With Fuel Cells Mech Seminars For Students discusses how the use of Fuel cells help in converting waste water into clean water and electricity.

In the historical and the present-day civilization our existence is more dependent upon energy. The conventional sources of energy, the single most important pre-requisite for power generation, are depleting fast. But, as we are running out of these energy resources,the world is heading towards a global energy crisis. Hence,the greatest task today is to exploit the non-conventional energy resources for power generation.One such alternate source of energy is  Fuel Cells.  Fuel cell is considered to be an Electro chemical device for the continuous conversion of the free energy change in a chemical reaction to electrical energy.

This project discusses it’s role in wastewater  tratment plants and also presents an innovative emission-offset project that utilizes Anaerobic Digester Gas-powered(ADG) fuel cells to produce electricity. They efficiently generate premium quality electricity and much needed thermal energy, while consuming ADG and emitting negligible amount of regulated pollutions, and are currently under intensive development by several manufacturers for both stationary and mobile applications.

• The concept of using fuel cells powered by hydrogen gas provides the ideal solution to pollution in our world.
• Fuel cells have been developed that can be used for virtually any application requiring electrical power or mechanical energy.
• For portable applications such as laptop computers, cameras, and cell phones, direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs)are future replacements for batteries.
• In Automobile Production, proton exchange membrane (PEM) type fuel cells are used.
• They eliminate the need for many of the world’s fossil-fuel power plants.

 CONCLUSION:

The project discusses how fuel cells are used for different applications and also explains that it can be used in anywhere with the help of specially manufactured converters that make the fuel cell power system adaptable to any country regardless of voltage or frequency allowing the production of truly “universal” power systems. The fuel cells cost is also very low.

The Mechanical Seminar on SIX STROKE ENGINE designs a Beare Head,a new type of Six-Stroke Engine head design  which has an improved method for combustion process  to meet the  demads for low emissions and low fuel consumption in modern combustion engines.

There is just one common feature in majority of the actual internal combustion engines, operating on different cycles which is combustion occurring in the cylinder after each compression, resulting in gas expansion that acts directly on the piston (work) and limited to 180 degrees of crankshaft angle. According to its mechanical design, the six-stroke engine with external and internal combustion and double flow is similar to the actual internal reciprocating combustion engine. However, The four-stroke block, piston and crankshaft remain unaltered. This combination of two stroke and four-stroke technology has given the technology its name the “six stroke engine”.

The Six Stroke designed in this project is thermodynamically more efficient because the change in volume of the power stroke is greater than the intake stroke and the compression stroke. The main advantages of six stroke engine includes reduction in fuel consumption by 40% and its adoption by the automobile industry which would likely have a tremendous impact on the environment and world economy.

ADVANTAGES:

• Thermodynamically more efficient.
• Reduction in fuel consumption by at least 40%.
• Two expansions (work) in six strokes.
• Dramatic reduction in pollution.
• Multifuel

Mechanical Seminar on SIX STROKE ENGINE CONCLUSION:

The 6 Stroke Engine designed in this project is a solution for the replacement of the internal combustion engine which not only is an improvement of  the current technology,but  is within reasonable time and financial limits. And when allied with the so-responsive pickup and a wide spread of usable power with a bike, it makes the bike ridiculously easy to ride, hardly using the gearbox.

This Performance Improvement of a Di Diesel Engine Mechanical Seminar involves an Intensive search in developing diesel engine fuels and lubricants based on vegetable oils. Due to high viscosity of vegetable oils, they interfere with fuel jet penetration, atomization and results in higher fuel consumption and leaves gummy deposits on the engine components upon combustion. Investigations revealed that cotton seed oil, in general vegetable oils, can best be utilized if supercharging is employed at the recommended injection pressure of the engine.

In the present project the effect of supercharging is studied on the performance of a direct injection diesel engine with the use of untreated cottonseed oil. This project deals with the effect of supercharging on the performance of a DI diesel engine with the use of untreated cottonseed oil.

It is well known that supercharging improves combustion process of diesel engines Increase in pressure and temperature of the engine intake reduces ignition delay resulting in a quiet and smooth operation with a lower rate of pressure rise. Thus supercharging encourages the use of low grade4 fuels in diesel engines. The increase in intake air temperatures reduces the unit air charge and also reduces thermal efficiency moderately for the loss and inter-cooling is not necessary except for highly supercharged engines.

CONCLUSION:

This Seminar predict that Oil technologists over the next several decades will become just as essential for the transportation industry as fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel oil are today. Supercharging is also found to be essential when untreated vegetable oils are used for developing the power with a low specific fuel consumption compared to diesel operation and as the supercharging pressure is increased, the engine performance with untreated vegetable oils will be regarded as eco-friendly operation.
