During the operation, a tremendous amount of heat is generated in the coal based sponge iron plant and a significant part of this heat associated with the waste gas, remains unutilized. While utilizing this heat in the process the energy demand of the process may be reduced, which decreases the coal consumption, which is the only source of energy for this plant. To utilize the heat associated w...

A flame shape descriptor based on coordinates of edge of a flame is proposed. Artificial Neural Network is used to predict flame image edges .A flame with constant x-coordinate is used in the present study. Y-coordinates of flame edge are predicted using neural network. Recognition experiments were carried out using flame image sampled from a burning candle. The results show a good recognition ...

This paper reports aldehyde emissions from two-stroke and four-stroke, single cylinder spark ignition (SI) engines with gasohol (80 vol. % gasoline, 20 vol. % ethanol) having copper coated engine (copper-coated thickness, 300 μm) on piston crown and inner side of cylinder head) provided with catalytic converter with sponge iron as catalyst and compared with conventional SI engine with gasoline ...
