High surface finish leads to closer tolerances and longer product life. However, most of the existing processes have their own limitations for producing product specific surface roughness in a cost effective manner. This limitation is primarily induced due to the particle size of constituent abrasive, which is directly reflected on the grinded surface. To overcome this limitation, use of nano size particle of α-Al2O3is proposed as a constituent of grinding wheel. The current research presents the development of α-Al2O3embraced grinding wheel for achieving surface finish of up to 0.09 micron which is difficult and requires skill with conventionally used grinding wheels. The wheel so produced results into the significant improvement over surface roughness values and thus demonstrates its superiority over conventional grinding wheels.<#LINE#>Rahman M., Senthil Kumarand A. and Fatima K.

The engine parameters monitored under cruise conditions from the sensors were collected from March 2013 to January 2014. The data presented in this paper gives an apparent method for an “early detection of deterioration” by analysing engine parameters and providing an early maintenance measures to be performed which will enhance the life of the engine. By analysing the trend monitoring data, it has found the RB211-535 engines are highly reliable and low maintenance cost.<#LINE#>Liansheng Liu, ShaojunWang, Datong Liu, Yujie Zhang and Yu Peng.

It is necessary to find low cost way which helps to reduce usage of gas on TPP as supporting fuel and to reduce total emission of the nitrogen oxides. The 60 MWth burner that meets these demands has been developed in Coal Energy Technology Institute for 300 MWel unit. Experimental studies showed reducing usage of gas down to 3 times on Ukrainian anthracite. The burner operation was reliable in all load ranges of the boiler for 1.5 year. Environmental operation analysis showed that TCP burners’ installation could lead to total reduction of the NOx up to 20 %.<#LINE#>Babyi V., Alaverdov P. and Barbarash V. et.al.

Architecture is able to breathe and grow as plants. The field of this specialization is called breathing and living architecture. Designing an external envelope for the building, which is able to breathe through the organization of domestic environmental quality factors of architectural space (temperature and humidity) is very important especially when it is working to organize the necessary lighting for space according to function and requirements of the occupants, and in the same time concludes the construction of the amount of carbon dioxide.

The diurnal and seasonal average of PM10, SPM, NO2, SO2 has been determined from RSPCB air pollution datasets for the year 2014. The value of PM10 and SPM shows the high variability at MIA during the study period. The daily mean concentration of SPM, PM10, NO2 and SO2 ranged from 4.5×101 µg/m3 to 4.82 ×102 µg/m3, 2.4 ×101 µg/m3 to 3.55×102 µg/m3, 8.06 µg/m3 to 5.54×101 µg/m3 and 4.06 µg/m3 to 9.31µg/m3, respectively during the study period. The seasonal characteristic of air pollutant during different seasons of the year 2014 is also investigated. The concentration of PM10 is found highest (1.54×102 ±4.76×101 µg/m3) and lowest (6.81×101±2.97×101 µg/m3) during winter and monsoon season, respectively.<#LINE#>Dockery DW and Pope C (1994).@Acute respiratory effects of particulate air pollution.@Annu Rev Public Health, 15, 107–132.@Yes$Pope CA (2000).@Review: epidemiological basis for particulate air pollution health standards.@Aerosol Sci Technol, 32, 4-14.@Yes$Pope III C.

Before this evaluation a previous work in this field has been validated by an MATLAB program. Then, by considering five different types of void positions (five different cases of supporting), which commonly happen in sleeper and ballast interaction, the results for these situations are discussed. In order to clearly understand and interpret the behavior of the flexural modes, the shapes of them, for a simple theoretical case, are presented. To find out the frequencies of the sleeper and to find out the variation of 1st mode and 2nd mode rigid-body frequencies different MATLAB programs have been developed and through these programs frequencies for different void configurations with different void length have been calculated. The graphs generated show the variation of the frequencies for different void length.<#LINE#>Knothe K. and Grassie S. L.

That’s why; economy in this sector is always fluctuating with high cost. The research on alternative fuel which should be economically feasible, easily processed and should be easy to use. Biodiesel is such a fuel that is gaining attraction due to its low cost synthesis from waste oils and its suitability in current diesel engines with no modification. Along with that it has several reasons to accept as a substitute to commercial diesel fuel due to its ecofriendly nature and is supportive to agricultural economy and is nontoxic. The cost of feedstock is the major factor which is responsible for viability of biodiesel. India has huge potential containing more than 100 various species producing seed oil which is suitable for production of biodiesel. Transesterification reaction is the most favourable way to convert oil into its ester form. The present article reviews the synthesis, optimization and characterization of biodiesel that especially synthesised from Jatropha curcus linn and Pongamia pinnata feedstock oils.<#LINE#>Knothe G., Sharp C.A. and Ryan T.W.
