The protection of PV systems from faults such as String to String (SS), String to Ground (SG), Open circuit (OC), and partial shading are the key challenges to the realization of cost-effective and environmentally friendly PV systems. Such unusual circumstances reduce the maximum available PV power. Partial shading and breakdowns in a PV array must therefore be noticed quickly for enhanced system efficiency and reliability. The significant fault current in PV systems can be detected using the existing safety devices in PV systems, such as fuses and residual current detectors. The flowing fault current being of low order is not significant enough for current protection devices to detect if the solar and/or fault mismatch is modest and the fault resistance is high. As a result, under cloudy and low irradiance conditions, the traditional protection devices fail to identify problems, resulting in reliability concerns and photovoltaic fire threats. In this context, a fault diagnosis scheme for PV systems is presented in this paper, which includes feature extraction using the Discrete wavelet transform, and classification of various defects on the PV system using Decision tree.","PeriodicalId":14343,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Engineering and Applied Sciences","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86588164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also serves as a means for generating electricity. Adulteration of petroleum products is hard to detect because the existing components of the fuel constitute the adulterants. The adulterants alongside other cheap hydrocarbons are mixed with the base fuel to degrade its quality and for the monetary benefits of the business vendors. This makes the adulterated fuel to pose a very serious danger to the consumers. This research project developed an IoT-based fuel adulteration detection system using a weight sensor-based technique. The IoT-based system helps to notify and give information about the fuel adulteration to the user immediately on a registered website called thingspeak. The average detection accuracy and response time of the system are 96.37% and 1.34 seconds respectively. These results emphasize the crucial function of adulteration detection system in fuels, as it detects adulteration of liquids effectively and accurately for automobile users and thereby reducing the risk of adulteration in fuels.","PeriodicalId":14343,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Engineering and Applied Sciences","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72756959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most of these processes cannot finish internal and external surfaces of intricate shapes as they are nonflexible in nature. For this type of problem Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) can be a viable solution. The AFM process uses a self-deforming tool. In the areas where the flow is restricted the abrasion takes place removing the material and generating finer surfaces. As time passed, different kinds of AFM have been developed to maximize productivity and enhance the surface finish. Factors that influence the material removal and surface finish in the AFM process are particle size, extrusion pressure, piston velocity, and media viscosity. Carrying out experiments for all the process parameters and obtaining better process parameters of AFM, precisely, in less time is tough to achieve. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation was employed to determine machining parameters. In this project, the parameters obtained theoretically and from the CFD simulation are compared with the available experimental data and then the better machining parameters for the surgical implant materials ASTM F1537 wrought Co-28Cr-6Mo alloy and Ti6Al4V alloy were also determined by using CFD simulation.","PeriodicalId":14343,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Engineering and Applied Sciences","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73741072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not only can the depletion of non renewable resources be countered effectively but the harmful detrimental effects of using these fossil fuels can also be reduced. Even though it has been established that HEVs tend to have more eco friendly benefits than their internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV) counterparts, they too are not immune to adverse environmental implications. The production, operation and end of life phases of HEVs contribute to major adverse environmental effects related to greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, human toxic byproducts etc. Hence an assessment of their environmental implications is being discussed in this paper and light has been shed on different assessment categories such as acidification potential, eutrophication, human toxicity potential, global warming potential etc. Furthermore the phases and parts of a HEV which contribute majorly to these implications are also discussed briefly.
