Concept of Heijunka
Akshay M. Ramekar, Vivek D. Muneshwar, Ajinkya S. Kute, Ashish M. Choube
Abstract: Production leveling is a new concept in the industries. Day by day the production is decreasing so we have to implement new techniques in production system. The heijunka is new concept for production leveling. It is a technique for reducing the Unevenness which in turn reduces waste. The goal is to produce intermediate goods at a constant rate so that further processing may also be carried out at a constant and predictable rate. Where demand is constant, production leveling is easy, but where customer demand fluctuates, two approaches have been adopted demand leveling and production leveling through flexible production. To prevent fluctuations in production, even in outside affiliates, it is important to minimize fluctuation in the final assembly line. The final assembly line should never assemble the same automobile model in a batch. Instead, for the level production, assembling a mix of models in each batch and the batches are made as small as possible. The lean manufacturing is also use to increase production rate by eliminating the waste. also takes into account waste created through overburden and waste created through unevenness in workloads. In lean manufacturing the inventory get reduces also the space consumption reduces by the reducing the inventory. Large corporations use production leveling to help them trim expenses in a variety of ways, many of which benefit companies that produce thousands of items or large-ticket products. Small business owners can also benefit from a more steady production flow in ways that not only reduce costs, but also improve quality and customer satisfaction. Understanding the benefits of level production manufacturing can help you assess your operations and improve your processes. Keywords: Heijunka, demand fluctuation, batch, inventory.

Vishrut Nalamwar, Vishal Mohod, Pratik Urkude, Shubham Futane
Abstract: Tricycle is a vehicle with three wheels. Peoples are not using conventional bicycle in modern era because everyone loves sophistication and comfort. Considering all the facts and need we are coming with one sophisticated design which is having comfort, ease, stability, reliability and competence. This tricycle is a combination of ergonomics and aesthetic, but the question rises that all the tricycle are having this features then, what makes it different? Some special arrangements are there which will revolutionise the tricycle. This tricycle is having length manager, adjustable handle, suspension, front and rear steering. We had enjoyed conventional tricycle with front wheel steering but this tricycle having rear wheel steering also, which makes sharp turns and u-turns motile. Eventually the front and rear steering provides maneuverability and turning capabilities. Last but not least if possible then we will convert it into electrical tricycle to make the cake more tasty. Keywords: Tricycle, Pollution, Transportation, Rear steering.

Investigation of Flow Field Development in Di Diesel Engine with Different Intake Manifold (Review)
S. R. Bhende, P. M. Pandit, S. G. Latherkar, T. R. Mohod
Abstract: The aim of project is to design different types of inlet manifolds for the Internal Combustion Engine in order to create the turbulence by swirl. A good swirl promotes the fast combustion and improves the efficiency. The engine should run at low speeds in order to have low mechanical losses and fast combustion, enabling good combustion efficiency. Therefore to produce high turbulence prior to combustion within the cylinder, swirl induced by the inlet channel within the cylinder head will be helpful. In view this, experimental investigation has been carried out to find the effect of swirl on the performance of the engine as well as on its emissions, by inducing swirl with different inlet manifolds having helical, spiral and helical-spiral shapes. Detailed analysis has been carried out and discussion on the experimental results is presented in this project work. At the outset, it is inferred that, the helical-spiral inlet manifold gives better performance and yields less emissions compared to spiral, helical and normal inlet manifolds. Keywords: Manifold, Helical-spiral shapes.

Integration of Cloud Computing for Load Balancing
Prof. P. A. Pawade, Prof. A. R. Wasukar
Abstract: Cloud computing is a term used for anything that involves delivering hosted services. As cloud computing is a new technology which has both merits and demerits, load balancing is one of the major issue faced by cloud computing. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. The data centre is built with many systems where balancing is becomes a very difficult task especially for cloud computing. A cloud consists of several elements such as clients, datacenter and distributed servers. Resource sharing in a pure plug and play model that dramatically simplifies infrastructure planning is the promise of "cloud computing?. Cloud computing systems fundamentally provide ac-cess to large pools of data and computational resources through a variety of interfaces. Load balancing is the process of distributing the load among various nodes of a distributed system to improve both resource utilization and job response time while also avoiding a situation where some of the nodes are heavily loaded while other nodes are idle or doing very little work. In this paper we are trying to get the idea of cloud computing in regard with load balancing. Keywords: Virtualization, Load Balancing, Servers, Database, Cloud.

Control of Foam Formation in the Amine Gas Treating System
Yogita A Gondule, Sumit D Dhenge, Kalyani Motghare
Abstract: Acid gas removal by using amine gas treating system is an essential part of processes, such as coal gasification where carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, carbonyl sulphides, and other contaminants need to be removed. Foaming in amine plants increases operating costs and reduces treating efficiency. Plant upsets due to foaming require immediate mitigating actions. Amine solutions foam because normal froth is stabilized into foam by contaminating surfactants. Unfortunately, most antifoam agents are surface active, and are removed by activated carbon. Most often, after a brief improvement the problem becomes worse. Since pure amines do not form stable foams, one or more components must be present in the treating solution in order to form. Possible contaminants include not only liquid hydrocarbons and iron sulphide, but well treating fluids, amine degradation products, and other finely divided solids. The objective of controlling foaming should be to minimize level of contaminants in the amine solution. This seminar report explains how removing the foam and describes a series typical amine foaming incidents, causes, and plant responses; all with respect to the effects on the root causative agents. The most common way to control foaming has been injecting antifoaming chemicals into the recirculating solution stream to break the foam. This report will discuss the foaming problematic in chemical absorption plants. Keywords: Amine system, foaming, plant response, foam removing.

Dehydration of Alcohol by Membrane Process
Ajay V Gawali, Miss. Sapna K. Deotale, Rupesh S. Chopkar
Abstract: The separation of commercial PVA membrane was studied over a board range of concentration for binary alcohol-water systems. Poly-vinyl alcohol membrane has yielded promising results for the dehydration of lower alcohols (ethanol), having high fluxes and fermentation rate. Pervaporation experiments with various concentrations of aqueous ethanol within the operating temperature conditions of 250C, 500C and 750C were successfully completed and finalized with respect to the operating temperatures, a minimum mass fluxes were observed at concentrations of 10-20%(v/v) aqueous ethanol solvents despite the fact that maximum viscosity of the solvent occurs at 50% (v/v) thus challenging the viscosity additively rule. Results drawn using polymeric for poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA) membranes were promising, suggesting high permeation with high mass flux. All pervaporation tests were conducted at every 1 hour intervals. The mass fluxes data collected was originally the units of kilograms per hour which was then used to kilograms per hour per square of meter (kg/m2.hr), however, the mass flux often falls within the range of 0.1-1.8 kg/m2.hr at 50oC. The permeation rate was in the units of (mol/m2.sPa). However, the permeate rate often falls within the range of 2.09E-04-3.27E-03 mol/m2.sPa. Keywords: polyvinyl alcohol, ethanol, pervaporation test, solvent, etc.

A Review: Studies of Defluoridation of Water by Using Low Cost Adsorbent
Aadesh R. Shrotri, Shubham P. Pandey
Abstract: Natural water contains fluoride in varying amounts. Fluorine is the 13th most abundant element of earth's crust, represents about 0.3 g/ kg of earth's crust. It occurs mainly in forms of chemical compound such as Sodium Fluoride (NaF) or Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) which is present in minerals fluorspar, topaz & cryolite. According to the World Health Organization suggested the optimum level of Fluoride is 0.3 to 0.7 mg/ L & the maximum level is 1.5 mg/ L. There are many methods have been developed for removal of fluoride from drinking water. These methods can be broadly classified into four basic groups; (1) Ion-Exchange or Adsorption methods, (2) Coagulation & Precipitation methods, (3) Electro-chemical defluoridation or Electro-Dialysis, (4) Reverse Osmosis. It has been reviewed the batch study process has been adopted to study the defluoridation of water using alum impregnated on brick powder. Alum and brick, when used individually are effective materials to cause defluoridation of water. But both the materials have certain limitations. Comparison of adsorption by Alum impregnated brick powder was made with adsorption by brick powder. Different parameters for instance, effect of pH, effect of dose and contact time of adsorbed fluoride is being studied and optimized. Fluoride removal was found to be 48.73 and 56.4 % from groundwater samples having 2.16 and 1.21 mg/L fluoride to 0.6 to 0.21mg/L respectively under the optimized conditions. Alum impregnated on brick powder has higher efficiency than the defluoridation by brick powder. Keywords: Defluoridation, Adsorption, Brick powder (BP), Alum impregnated on brick powder (AIBP), Groundwater.

Speaking Gloves for Speechless Persons: A Review
Mr. M. R. Bhoyar, Ms. M. J. Dahake, Mr. A. P. Shingade, Mr. A.N. Shire
Abstract: In our day to day life, we observe that the communication of speechless or mute patients with normal peoples find many difficulties. Usually speechless patients communicate in sign languages that are not understood by normal people. As we know that visual communication is more effective than verbal communication, so by considering this phenomenon we inspired to have some technological system for communication of speechless patients. We have studied the seminar that focuses on ease of communication between the speech impaired patients or people with the others. The topic consists of the glove that translates the bending movement of the fingers into voice or speech signal using Flex sensors. AVR Microcontroller processes the binary data from flex sensor and further the voice module processes on the microcontroller output to produce speech signal. The message spoken through the speaker is also displayed on the LCD display. Keywords: AVR microcontroller, Bend movement, Speech Impaired, Voice module.

Abstract: Soil bioengineering is the use of living plant materials to construct structures that perform some engineering function. Often, soil bioengineering is used to treat sites where surface stability and erosion problems arise. The use of plants for soil erosion protection and slope stabilization has a long practice. Old methods with rocks and plants, erections of timber have been used over the past eras. Recently these old soil conservation and stabilization methods have been rediscovered and improved. Methods such as wattle fences and modified brush layers form small retaining walls that can be used to support failing slopes or to reduce slope angles and allow other vegetation to be established. Biotechnical engineering methods have become part of geotechnical and hydraulic engineering and have helped to link the gap between classical engineering disciplines, land use management, landscape architecture and biological sciences. In this assessment, the different uses of plants in geotechnical and hydraulic engineering design are presented. The core of this analysis is a complete overview of the most important biotechnical construction techniques used for soil erosion protection and slope stabilization. Methods, construction procedure, and the major advantages and disadvantages of these biotechnical methods are discussed. Considerations about construction and maintenance costs conclude in this review. Keywords: Soil erosion protection, slope stabilization, geotechnical engineering, biotechnical construction method.

Value Engineering in Construction
Sharwari A. Bhokare, Bhushan R. Chavhan, Sanket G. Kolhe, Prof. R. S. Tatwawadi
Abstract: Value engineering is a methodology used to analyze the function of the goods and services and to obtain the required functions of the user at the lowest total cost without reducing the necessary quality of performance. Many a time, Value Engineering (VE) is confused with cost cutting exercises in construction industry. The essential difference between conventional cost cutting and VE is that it involves reducing the cost by improving the functionality through lesser consumption of energy in terms of manpower, materials and machines. In the initial stages VE was used by production engineers for reducing the cost of manufacture. However, it was found that the benefit of VE is much greater if multidisciplinary teams of engineers were involved which would also influence the design team that is normally the case in construction. Keywords: functionality, multidisciplinary, cost cutting.

Permafrost & It’s Effect on Engineering Structures and Climate
Rohini D. Giri, Vaidehi R. Deshmukh, Pratiksha A. Jiskar
Abstract: In geology, permafrost is defined as ground including rock's or soil at or below the freezing point of water 0°c for two or more years. Permafrost accounts for 0.022% of total water on Earth and exist in 24% exposed land in Northern Hemisphere. Most Permafrost is located in high latitude ( in and around the Arctic & Antarctic region ).In India Permafrost is located in Tibetan Plateau , Hindu-Kush Himalayan Region , Kullu , Leh region in Jammu & Kashmir . The Permafrost is found in elevation of 2,400 - 2,800 m, in Himalaya is thawing mainly due to global warming, which contributes to river flood in down-stream area. A collaborative Indo-Swiss research on Permafrost has thrown new light on these rarely studied component of the Indian Himalayan cryosphere. Overall 9 %( 420 sq.Km) of land area in Kullu is classified as Permafrost terrain. Hence Permafrost is classified as significant. Permafrost is not only affected by climate change but eventually will affect climate change itself by releasing the greenhouse gases it stored. More than 50% of modelled permafrost land area in Kullu is characterised by slopes less than 35°, a threshold commonly used to distinguish debris-covered slopes from steeper bed rock. Thawing of permafrost in such regions is a potential hazard that could lead to debris instabilities and increased sediment load in water ways and reservoirs. Thawing of permafrost may destabilizelakes, dams and rock-fall or debris flow from surrounding slopes may cause overlapping waves or block outlet channels. If high northern latitude warm significantly permafrost will thaw, allowing organic matter within the permafrost to decompose which release carbon into atmosphere and thus temperature increase. In past 50 years the temperature has increased by 1.3°c, 3 times the global average this resulted in 82% retreating of ice covers and 10% degrading of permafrost. Permafrost has crucial effects on environment and Civil structures, because when permafrost melts the land above it sinks or changes shape and the shifting ground could potentially damage building and infrastructure such as roads, Airport, water and sewer pipes. Thus to have spotlight on such crucial topic it is necessary to study permafrost. Keywords: Permafrost, Qinghai-Tibet Railway, Cooled Road, Thermosyphon.

Seismic Pounding and Vulnerability to the High Rise Building Structures
M.A. Somwanshi, M.A. Bhokare, V.S. Nakhate, D.A. Khandare
Abstract: Collision of buildings is known as pounding. Investigations of past and recent earthquake damage have illustrated that the building structures are vulnerable to severe damage and/or collapse during moderate to strong ground motion. Among the possible structural damages, seismic pounding has been commonly observed in several earthquakes. Seismic pounding between adjacent buildings can cause severe damage to the structures under earthquakes, when owing to their different dynamic characteristics. During earthquake, the buildings vibrate out of phase and at rest separation is deficient to accommodate their relative motions. Such buildings are usually separated by expansion joint which is insufficient to provide the lateral movements of the buildings during earthquakes. It can be prevented by providing safe separation distances, sometimes getting of required safe separations is not possible in metropolitan areas due to high land value and limited availability of land space. If building separations is found to be deficient to prevent pounding, then there should be some secure and cost effective methods to prevent structural pounding between adjacent buildings. There are many buildings which are constructed very nearly to one another in Metropolitan cities, because everyone wants to construct up to their property line due to high cost of land. This study covers the prevention techniques of pounding between adjacent buildings due to earthquakes. Constructing new RC walls, cross bracing system and combined RC wall & bracing, dampers, combined system of RC wall and dampers and combined system of bracing and dampers with proper placement are proposed as possible prevention techniques for pounding between adjacent buildings.
