Chatter vibrations, occurring during cutting process, cause vibration between the cutting tool and workpiece, which deteriorates surface roughness and reduces tool life. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of cutting parameters and tool construction on surface roughness and vibration in turning of aluminum alloy AA2024. A new design of cutting tool is proposed, which is fi...

An experimental study has been carried out to simultaneously optimize several diesel engine designs and operating parameters for low exhaust emissions using Taguchi method. A single cylinder (DPF make) diesel engine equipped with a high pressure, cam driven mechanical injector has been used in this experiment. The effects of changes in engine design/operating parameters–nozzle spray holes, pist...

Resistance spot welding (RSW) has been used widely to join sheet metals. It has been a challenge to get required weld quality in spot welding of dissimilar thickness materials. Weld parameters are not generally available in standards for thickness beyond 4mm. This paper presents the welding process design and parameter optimization of RSW used in joining of low carbon steel sheet of thickness 0...

Friction stir welding is an environmentally friendly process of joining due to the nonusage flux, or any shield gas, and it does not produce harmful gases when compared fusion. Therefore, this article proposes experimental investigation optimization technique for studying FSW on nylon 6A polycaprolactam polymer composite plates. Specifically, influence input operating parameters such as tool ro...

Abstract Electrospinning is a well-known and straightforward technique for creating nanofibres from various materials, such as metals, ceramics, polymers. The process takes place in strong electric field, causing the polymer solution to stretch, resulting micro/nanoscale fibres. parameters of electrospinning influence morphology nanofibres. In present study, zinc oxide (ZnO) were created polyvi...

background: hydrocarbons degradation is principally achieved by microorganisms in natural environments. the extent of hydrocarbons biodegradation is mainly conditioned by environmental factors and its success depends on the optimal condition for the crude oil degrading isolates. objectives: the aims of the current study was to isolate and identify crude oil degrading bacterium from surface sedi...

background and objectives: microbial caffeine removal is a green solution for treatment of caffeinated products and agro-industrial effluents. we directed this investigation to optimizing a bio-decaffeination process with growing cultures of pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes through taguchi methodology which is a structured statistical approach that can be lowered variations in a process through de...
