Modernization in Railways Mechanical Engineering Project

Introduction To The Mechanical Project:

The project “Modernization in Railways Mechanical Engineering Project” is designed so as to provide the best of facilities to commuters. This can be done by designing ICF coaches coupled with better spring arrangements. Improvement of the braking system for a safe and smoother travel is incorporated. Also, in order to carry heavier loads at higher speeds provision of diesel and electric traction is made along with modern signaling techniques.

Types of modern railways:

             The types of modern railways described in the project Modernization of railways are monorail which is kind of railway that is based on a single rail as its sole support for movement. Then, there are tube railways which run through an underground tunnel and have an electrically powered railroad. The most urban form is however the sky bus.

Components of modern railways:

For modernization of track, a heavier track should be used that is resistant to wear and tear, long welding should also be done. Traditional methods of track maintenance should be implemented such as DTM, MSP for smoother rail travel at economical cost. Track monitoring should be done by means of computers and ultrasonic testing of rails.

Methods of maintenance:

Modernizing railways is not the solution; they need to be maintained to. The tracks should be leveled and aligned properly and defective sleepers should be replaced. As per the requirement, profiling of ballast section should be done. A well qualified person should be appointed as supervisor to properly identify the defects in track geometry with the aid of measuring and recording devices.

If any defects are there, then rectification should be done. Not only should this, checking of the quality of work be done. Thus modernization of railways is not a single-step process but a lot of parameters should be taken into account for the system to function properly.

Modeling of Armature Controlled DC Motor Using MATLAB Project Report

Introduction To Mechanical Mat-lab Project:

           A DC motor is a basically a simple electric motor that uses both electric field as well as magnetic field to produce a torque that can run a motor. This conversion of energy is utilized for the generation of electricity. The project “Modeling of Armature Controlled DC Motor Using MATLAB Project Report” designs a DC motor that is armature controlled. Hence here the armature coil is responsible of the magnitude of the current produced.

         The principle of operation used in this motor is electromagnetism. According to this principle, whenever a conductor that is carrying some current is placed in an external magnetic field a force will be experienced by it. This force generated is proportional to the current flowing in the conductor and also on the strength of the external magnetic field.

Description:

            In the project Modeling of Armature Controlled D.C Motor Using MATLAB the armature control method is employed. In this method, the voltage which is applied to the armature circuit of the motor is changed by keeping the voltage supplied to the field circuit of the motor constant.

            Thus, here the motor must be excited by an external source in order to implement the armature voltage control. As the armature voltage is increased, the no-load speed of the DC motor increases. However the slope of the torque-speed characteristics do not change as the flux produced is a constant parameter.

Conclusion:

       In this project the speed of the DC motor is controlled by the armature. However there are many other methods that can be used to control the speed of the DC motor. There’s the voltage control method in which changes in voltage are made to control the speed of the motor. In the flux control method, the speed is controlled by making changes in the flux. Another method is rheostatic control in which the rheostat variations control the speed.

Mechanical Final Project On Modeling And Fatigue Analysis Of Automotive Wheel Rim

Introduction To The Mechanical Final Year Project:

          Trucks are the basic backbone of the world’s workforce and carry a lot of goods from one place to the other. Thus it is necessary that the truck’s wheels to be functioning properly. For this replacement of truck rims need to be done if they are bent or cracked for smooth truck travel.  In this project “Mechanical Projects On Modeling And Fatigue Analysis Of Automotive Wheel Rim” both the parameters are analyzed. Majority of truck rims are steel rims with welds.

           Since truck wheels have to be durable and have to carry weight, the rims are solid in nature. Also all the rims should be of same size. Heat conduction is dissisipation in a better way from the brakes as braking performance is improved and chances of brake failure is minimized. A standard automotive rim is made of rectangular sheet metal and is calibrated too.

Description:

             Wheel rim is that part of an automotive where it undergoes static and fatigue loads because it traverses on a lot of roads. This develops heavy stresses in the rim and thus it is necessary to determine the critical stress point and how many number cycles the rim will run. For modal analysis, the model has to be built, loads are applied and solutions are obtained. Then results have to be reviewed.   

             The underlying feature of all specific fatigue failure mechanisms is that there is an existence of cyclic stresses at points of the component. These cyclic stresses can give rise to damage accumulation developing a crack and finally leading to failure. The fatigue failure mechanisms are of two kinds-primary and secondary mechanisms which are elucidated in detail in the project.

Conclusion:

           From the results of this project, it has been found out that steel alloy is more feasible to use and have more life and durability than Aluminum. In the future, optimization of material thickness is done to reduce material consumption. Furthermore life of the component can be improved by fatigue strain life approach.

Methods of Improving Performance of the Gas Turbine Mech Document

Introduction To Methods of Improving Performance of the Gas Turbine:

Gas turbines are used in a wide range of application in industrial plants throughout the world. Hence, research is always being conducted in order to enhance means for overall development of the plant. In this project “Methods of Improving Performance of the Gas Turbine Mech Document” simply elaborates the methods by which performance of the gas turbines can be improved thereby improving total efficiency.

There are several air cooling techniques of which evaporate inlet cooling, absorptive cooling and mechanical compression are prominent. In an absorptive cooler, low grade energy drives the system. The cheapest method is evaporate cooling but works very efficiently in hot conditions. However it must be noted that cooling effect never takes the fluid temperature below 280 K as it leads to decrease in performance.

Description:

There are wide lists of parameters that influence the performance of the gas turbine. They are namely turbine efficiency, compressor efficiency and inlet temperature, pressure ratio, combustion efficiency etc. it is an obvious conclusion that if efficiency of turbine and compressor is improved, the power output gradually increases.

Thermal efficiency is also dependent on the pressure ratio. Graphs are plotted and analysis is done for pressure ratio at different loads with certain parameters kept constant. If losses are also considered, then efficiency of the cycle depends on turbine inlet temperature and pressure ratio.  Another important parameter is turbine inlet temperature. Higher the value of this parameter, higher work output is obtained.

Conclusion:

Thus this project Methods of improving performance of the gas turbine has explained the parameters that affect gas turbines. This project confirms the results of Young and Wilcock’s model that improved cycle efficiencies is not due to increased outlet temperature always. Also by increasing the TIT and pressure ratio, the efficiency of the cycle in relation with the inter-cooler is greatly improved.
