By adopting significant precautions, the risks of fire hazards can be reduced effectively through the use of new technologies and preventive measurements of the system. In addition, the effects of fire hazards due to leakage in gas circulation lines in the buildings as well as in the other systems can be assessed to create the context of preventive measures for a fire protection system in a way to overcome the fire hazards in gas circulation lines. The paper aims to review the effects of fire hazards due to leakage in gas circulation lines in Bangladesh. It is noted that in Bangladesh during 2018-2019, the total gas distribution line in the Titas gas system was measured as 13,138 km where the pressure-reducing system or gas riser was found as 1.2 million and the number of customers was found as 2.866 million. In the system, the number of fire accidents that occurred was 208 in the circulation system. Because of connecting the illegal gas lines and poor maintenance of the system, Bangladesh faces significant fire hazards every year. To avoid this kind of problem, proper maintenance along with the varieties of new technologies incorporating sensors and microcontrollers can be utilized.","PeriodicalId":201987,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Materials and Manufacture","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130916170","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}

With the growth of populace and the living standards, the goods and energy consumption in Bangladesh are seen to be increased which rises the waste generation. Thus, municipal waste management (MSW) and energy supply are becoming the great challenges for Bangladesh. Waste to energy (WTE) conversion technologies would be a very timely solution to an ever-growing problem. These technologies are environment-friendly and cost effective; however, these are not popular within the developing country Bangladesh. This paper discusses current waste status, significant progresses and future prospect of solid waste management process as well as evaluates the best possible WTE technology suitable for Bangladesh. It is found that Bangladesh produces approximately 13,332 tons of MSW per day in which almost 26% and 12% of total wastes are generated by its capital city, Dhaka and Chattogram, respectively. The incineration process for electricity production is seen to be the most effective WTE technology for Chattogram city. For instance, for one ton of MSW, the incineration process can provide 0.585 MWh electricity and 1.742 MWh heat with an emission factor of 0.28 ton of CO2. With an average plant capacity cost of 2.1 USD which is lower than other WTE technologies. Therefore, the incineration can be utilized as the most effective WTE technology for major cities in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":201987,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Materials and Manufacture","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125618466","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}

Surface integrity is one of the most relevant parameters used for evaluating the quality of finish machined surfaces. The residual stress and surface alteration with each layer and depth of work hardening by machining Ti-alloy are critical due to safety and sustainability concerns. Residual stresses, white layers well microstructural alterations can be figured out to improve surface qualities of end products. Many parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut affect the machined surface quality particularly surface fisnish. This article provides details of lathe turning for investigation of surface roughness for varying cutting parameters. An attempt has been made to search for best ranges of cutting regimes that could produce best surface roughness for machining Ti-6Al-4V alloy using uncoated cutting tool. Taylor-Hobson device is used to measure the surface roughness on the machined workpieces. In this project three series of experimentaions were carried out and a total of 16 steps of operations in each series are performed for determining the surface roughness. Real life experimental investigation has allowed to express the results in graphical form (using tabulated data) that has suggested best ranges of cutting regimes (parameters) for obtaining the best ranges of surface roughness for machining Ti-6Al-4V using uncoated carbide tool. The work has indicated to investigate the science of bulk flow, particularly the plastic deformation, for difficult to machine materials, at a much higher temperature.

On the other hand, it reduces the probability of major area electricity blackout chances and decreases the energy distribution loss. For proper distribution and management of energy, there are different types of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT) available, but a blockchain automated system is one of the best choices and is highly recommended. Various aspects of blockchain technology and energy management system have been discussed in this review paper where a total number of 423 journal papers, articles, and online information sources have been reviewed in the initial stage, and finally, 63 published research articles have been selected for review. There are several topics, including technology overview in energy management systems, blockchain application of energy trading, blockchain technology implementation challenges, distributed energy management system with Ethereum, and a conclusion with some recommendations have been discussed. Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) are highly transparent, authenticate, and secure systems that can be used for distributing the energy between distributor and consumer without an intermediator which increases the overall efficiency of the system. This paper aims to highlight the blockchain and distributed ledger technology and how it works as well as optimize the transaction processing cost among the participants of the consortium network.

The spark between tool electrode (-ve) and workpiece electrode (+ve) removes materials mostly from workpiece. Knowing the time and amount of material removed in a single spark, MRR can be estimated. A number of analytical study have been reported for the estimation of MRR based on the ideal situation single-spark erosion. In case of multi-spark micro-EDM, charging and discharging do not always follow the ideal conditions of the circuit and a lot of unwanted pulses such as arching and short circuit are produced which in turn reduce the effective number of pulses per second. Moreover, in RC pulse micro-EDM, the discharges are not uniform and the current and voltage are not constant with time. As a consequence, the performances estimated based on single-spark erosion formula could be misleading in multi-spark cases. This paper presents an analytical estimation of MRR as a function of machining parameters capacitance and voltage for single spark which is then compared with the multi-spark erosion of RC pulse micro-EDM. The single spark erosion rate is estimated using the electro-thermal theories in which charging and discharging duration are derived from the RC pulse time constant and the number of sparks per unit time is counted from the single spark duration. The expression of single spark erosion volume is estimated using heat transfer equations. It is also difficult to conduct single-spark EDM experiment and it has very little practical implications. Experiments are conducted to investigate the multi-spark erosion rate. It is shown that, theoretically, the number of sparks depends on the capacitance and resistance of the circuit. However, in multi-spark erosion, it is found that the number of effective sparks depend not only the capacitance and voltages but also the conditions of micro-EDM such as the workpiece and tool materials, flushing conditions, depth of cut. It is shown that the multi-spark MRR is almost half of the calculated value which is found using the equation of single spark MRR in micro-EDM of copper. Therefore, the single spark erosion formula needs to be adjusted for each of the workpiece to incorporate with the multi-spark erosion in real conditions.","PeriodicalId":201987,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Materials and Manufacture","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116853322","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}

This literature review covers a specific comparison between the optical, electrochemical, and piezoelectric biosensors, as these are the three most common GNP-based biosensors. Optical biosensors are optimal due to their ability to cater to surface modification, which then leads to the ability for selective bonding. Furthermore, with the use of GNP and the sensor's non-invasive and non-toxic method of use, high-resolution images and signals can be formed. The sensitivity and specificity of electrochemical biosensors with the conductivity of GNPs, the electrodes of this stable biosensor can detect tumour markers in the human body. Piezoelectric biosensors are mass sensitive sensors and with the use of GNP, it amplifies the changes in mass. Through this, these sensors progress to be immunosensors which determine microorganisms and macromolecular compounds.
