  • Design Development and Performance Evaluation of Hybrid Exhaust Gas Operated Air Brake System for Automobiles
    Vol-5 Issue-2 2019 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 Design Development and performance evaluation of Hybrid _Exhaust gas operated air brake system for automobiles HEMANT PAWAR, PROF. G.K.WABLE, PROF. S.P. GODASE, PANKAJ PATIL SHREE RAMCHANDRA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING PUNE Abstract In this braking system, exhaust gas from the IC engines is used to operate air brake in the automobiles. Air brake is most used braking system in vehicles. In the proposed model, instead of air brake, exhaust gas is used to operate the brake lever. Exhaust gas from engine is stored in a specially designed pneumatic tank. This exhaust gas pressure is used to operate the pneumatic cylinder and brake lever. The secondary system used will be a thermoelectric generator used to charge a 12 volt battery and the a DC compressor will be used to further pressure rise the exhaust air tank and thus the system will be dual mode operation hence it is termed as hybrid . This study can be extended for diesel engines and petrol engines. The main aim of this project is to reduce the work loads of the engine drive to operate the air compressor. In this project pressurized air from the D.C compressor and from the exhaust will be used to operate the pneumatic brake Introduction : In this braking system, exhaust gas from the IC engines is used to operate air brake in the automobiles. Air brake is most used braking system in vehicles. In the proposed model, instead of air brake, exhaust gas is used to operate the brake lever.

  • Real-World Exhaust Emissions of Diesel Locomotives and Motorized Railcars During Scheduled Passenger Train Runs on Czech Railroads
    atmosphere Article Real-World Exhaust Emissions of Diesel Locomotives and Motorized Railcars during Scheduled Passenger Train Runs on Czech Railroads Michal Vojtisek-Lom 1,2,* , Jonáš Jirk ˚u 3 and Martin Pechout 4 1 Department of Automobile, Combustion Engine and Railway Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Czech Technical University of Prague, 160 00 Prague, Czech Republic 2 Department of Vehicles and Engines, Technical University of Liberec, 46117 Liberec, Czech Republic 3 Department of Vehicle Technology, Faculty of Transportation Sciences, Czech Technical University in Prague, 110 00 Prague, Czech Republic; [email protected] 4 Department of Vehicles and Ground Transport, Faculty of Engineering, Czech University of Life Sciences, 165 21 Prague, Czech Republic; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +420-774-262-854 Received: 17 April 2020; Accepted: 28 May 2020; Published: 2 June 2020 Abstract: The paper summarizes exhaust emissions measurements on two diesel-electric locomotives and one diesel-hydraulic railcar, each tested for several days during scheduled passenger service. While real driving emissions of buses decrease with fleet turnaround and have been assessed by many studies, there are virtually no realistic emissions data on diesel rail vehicles, many of which are decades old. The engines were fitted with low-power portable online monitoring instruments, including a portable Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectrometer, online particle measurement, and in two cases with proportional particle sampling systems, all installed in engine compartments. Due to space constraints and overhead electric traction lines, exhaust flow was computed from engine operating data. Real-world operation was characterized by relatively fast power level transitions during accelerations and interleaved periods of high load and idle, and varied considerably among service type and routes.

  • Music Reading Read the Passage, the E-Mail and the Festival Guide. the Glastonbury Festival Is an Unforgettable Sight. for Three
    Music Reading Read the passage, the e-mail and the festival guide. The Glastonbury Festival is an unforgettable sight. For three days, 280 hectares of peaceful farm country in the beautiful Somerset Valley become a vast, colourful tent city. The Glastonbury Festival is Britain's largest outdoor rock concert, and it attracts crowds of more than 100,000 people. It has six separate stages for musicians to play on. It has eighteen markets where fans can buy things. It has its own daily newspaper and is even broadcast live on television. It also raises large amounts of money for several charities, including Greenpeace and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Glastonbury is just one of many events on the international music festival calendar each year. For dance music fans, there's Creamfields, the Essential Festival and Homelands - all in the UK. Rock fans have Roskilde Festival in Denmark, Fuji Rock and Summer Sonic in Japan, and the Livid Festival and the Big Day Out in Australia. And the crowds just keep getting bigger. In fact, the size of some of these festivals is causing problems. Since the deaths of nine people at Roskiide in 2000 and the death of a young woman at the 2001 Big Day Out, festival organisers and local police have been working together to make sure festival-goers stay safe. Despite these tragic events, festivals are more popular than ever. And it's not just about the music. It's about making new friends and partying non-stop for days at a time. It's about dancing till you can't stand up anymore and then crashing in someone else's tent.

We have a long history of helping clients win cut through at festivals around the world, these include: R ECOVE FESTIVALS NOT RIGHT F OR YOU? THINK AGAIN With younger festival goers increasingly priced out of the game, today’s festival audience largely comprises Millenials, people in their thirties. This also explains the increasing number of festivals catering for families, cultural, literary and culinary enthusiasts. It also means an opening of the way for brands that previously might have never thought about investing in a festival. And a growing number are realising this is an environment that can yield results; there’s a lot more to festivals than mud, booze, rock and roll.
