Mesopic vision lies in between photopic\u0000 vision and scotopic vision, describing the night vision in urban areas. Here, the spectral irradiance value of white light LED and color coordinates values was theoretically calculated using McCamy formula as per CIE 1931 followed by S/P ratio (ratio of scotopic Luminaire lumens to photopic\u0000 Luminaire lumens) for the different blue light component. Comparative study of the consequence of increasing blue light component has been done and resulted that S/P ratio increases with increasing the peak of blue light. In this way, LED produces more scotopic lumens than photopic\u0000 lumens, and the light energy contributing in scotopic vision goes waste. Focusing on the electrical energy saving aspects of LED, a correction factor needed to be applied for getting more spectral irradiance power with minimized electrical power.","PeriodicalId":7213,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Science, Engineering and Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78660435","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}

There are various performance improvement strategies adopted by different researchers in order to get\u0000 maximum power from the minimum quantity of fuel alongside substantial reduction in exhaust gas emission. The techniques such as CRDI (Common Rail Direct Injection), VVT (Variable valve timing) and such more are commercially viable and successfully incorporated in vehicles. Along the similar\u0000 track, this paper highlights the importance of variable compression ratio diesel engine, method of achieving the variable compression ratio (VCR) as per load and speed conditions. Variable compression ratio (VCR) technology is one of the method for improving the automobile engine performance,\u0000 efficiency, fuel economy with reduced emission for range of fuels. The basis of the VCR engine is to operate at different compression ratio, by altering the combustion chamber volume, as per need of most suitable operating conditions. Apart from this, the fuel injection location needs to be\u0000 varied as per load and speed conditions. The synchronization of both VCR and variable fuel injector location (VFIL) becomes important. Knowing this fact, the study for the diesel Comet engine (3.7 kW@2100 RPM) is undertaken for variable clearance volume accompanied with VIPL. The work consists\u0000 of design and development of mechanism consisting of auxiliary cylinder and auxiliary piston which will operate in and out of combustion chamber as per load and speed conditions. The detailed drawings and complete experimentation will be carried out to judge the improvement of performance\u0000 of diesel engine with modification of variable clearance volume concept. The performance parameters consist of brake power, brake thermal efficiency and brake specific fuel consumption under various load conditions.","PeriodicalId":7213,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Science, Engineering and Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76847642","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}

Better fuel-air mixing and combustion rates in diesel engine are primarily enhanced by the fluid flow. The fluid flow prior to combustion process in DI\u0000 diesel engines travel through induction process and further gets improvised during the compression process. Therefore, it is compulsory to understand the fluid flow motion inside the cylinder in designing the different bowl-in-piston geometries with the most appropriate operating and emission\u0000 characteristics. A better spatial distribution is required for the injected fuel throughout the entire space of combustion geometry in DI diesel engine, to obtain a better combustion with lesser emission. In order to effectively make use of gas flows it is mandatory to match the piston bowl\u0000 geometry with fuel spray characteristics. For obtaining better combustion, matching of combustion chamber geometry, fuel injection and gas flows plays prominent role. But it is evident that piston bowl geometry plays a significant role on flow of compressed air when piston moves from BDC to\u0000 TDC i.e., before the start of combustion, resulting in proper mixing, better vaporization and atomization of fluid particles. When compared with other combustion chambers, Off-set bowl in the absence of central projection with sharp edges provide higher swirl number. Higher these whirl number\u0000 lesser will be the soot emission at the expense of higher NOx level.","PeriodicalId":7213,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Science, Engineering and Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77907264","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}

Minimum quantity lubrication’s (MQL) performance is dependent on the spray generated by the MQL system. The spray quality is defined by number of droplets, sauter mean diameter, pressure of droplets and\u0000 velocity of droplets and depends on factors such as coolant flow rate, flow rate of air, pressure of compressed air, nozzle orientation and nozzle geometry. Further it is concluded from literature review that the increase in air pressure and increase in flow rate of oil produced the droplets\u0000 that can penetrate the tool-chip interface easily to provide effective lubrication with nozzle placed at some angle to the tool axis.
