Mileage Promoter Gears (MPG)

In general, all vehicles have gears which control the speed of the vehicle. These gears are used to control the speed. Till now, the research is going on to increase the fuel efficiency only by introducing of new fuel system or reducing the body weight or changing any component of the engine. Very few researches have been done in increasing the mileage using gears. For the improvement in fuel efficiency / increasing the mileage and performance we are going to make use of the normal gear system which is in our regular use by changing the gears in a simple ratio. Usually if the gear size is reduced the torque might drastically fall down. But in this project the torque is compensated with the mileage and speed so that there is no comparative fall down of torque. This can also be used when the load is less at heavy vehicles. This project uses a simple gear transmission kit which drastically improves the performance, speed and mileage of the vehicle. This saves a huge amount of fuel and provides a smooth drive. In this project, gears with special transmission system is modified which can be used both in light and heavy vehicles. Especially in heavy vehicles, this saves a lot of fuel. The kit increases the mileage, torque and speed by 50% to 100% in any vehicle. It is economic and has many environmental profits. Hence the main uniqueness of this innovation is promoting mileage, fuel economy and speed using gears with compensating of torque.

Design and Fabrication of Leg Holder for Supporting Rural Woman in Labor Process

Giving birth is a natural process and most women have to go through it. There are so many commonly traditional positions of mothers in doing the birth process, but only two among them are famous. Those are lying down position and half seating position. Lying down position (lithotomic) is a position where the mother lies on the obstetric bed with both of her legs straddling and hanging on the leg holder. This is a good position for the doctor to help the birth process. The baby’s head is easily handed on the right direction. However, this position makes the mother difficult to push the baby out due to the gravity of the mother on the bottom and parallel with baby’s position. Half seating or Semi seating position is a position where the mother sits on the obstetric bed with the back supported by a pillow and both of her legs are opened. This position is more convenient and makes the baby’s way out shorter and provides good oxygen supply.

Gyn Bed:
A Gyn bed or obstetric bed is usually used for giving birth Process. This bed gives comfortable feeling and reduces the risk of back pain, leg muscle stresses and keeps assuring the open ways for baby’s out. Every pregnant woman needs extra physical condition that is crucial for a smooth process of birth. If there are no hospital facilities for the patients during labor process then that will pose a problem.

Effective Bio-Degradation of Waste Polyethylene Using Potent Microbial Strains and its Methodology Based Applications

Biodegradation is the process in which microorganisms like fungi and bacteria degrade the natural polymers (lignin, cellulose) and synthetic polymers (polyethylene, polystyrene). Microorganisms degrade the polymers like polyethylene, polyurethane by using it as a substrate for their growth via enzymatic action (this can be any enzyme- extracellular or intracellular) into metabolic products (e.g., H2O, CO2, CH4, biomass etc.). It is the safest method of breakdown that possibly leaves behind less toxic residue and shows potentials of bio-geo chemical cycling of the substrate.

Design of Textile Effluent Treatment Plant and Implementation of Aquaponics

The proposed project delivers the innovative stage as a solution for the treatment of the effluents. The pretreatment column designed reduces space and time. The packed bed bioreactor with activated carbon, saw dust etc and pure inoculum in each layer leads to the adsorption of the organic particles, dye residues, inorganic compounds. The addition of various dissolved solids get degraded or adsorbed by each layer of the bioreactor.

The reactor is designed in such a pattern that the implementation is easy, consumes less space and also provides a cost effective treatment of the waste water.

Water is one of the most important compounds of our life. 75% of the earth is surrounded by water, but only 3%-4% of the water is fresh water. We waste gallons of water every day as sewage, industrial waste water steams etc. the water are ultimately mixed with sea water and hence turns salty.

The sewage and Industry effluent waters are the biggest concern as only a part of it is replenished back while maximum of it is released untreated. The water is not only wasted but also leads to the death of many aquatic organisms and eutrophication for non-aquatic organisms. Thus treatment to the waste water is the major topic of discussion in the nature friendly society. Treatment plants, screenings and government aids have been developed for the control of sewage water and industrial effluents. But the cost effectiveness, time and manpower has become the major issue to avoid such process but release the water.

The conventional methods of treatment in the common effluent plants and the industry effluent sectors consumes huge amount of time, space and cost. Due to these factors many of the micro industries undergo little or no treatment and release it into local bodies, lands. This leads to the damage of the public health and aesthetic value.

The river Noyal in the Tirupur district of Tamil Nadu is contain a high Biological Oxygen Demand(BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) level than any other river. The colour and odour of the river water are objectionable. This provides a clear landscape of the future perspective of the water pollution. The proposed topic develops on the improvement of the conventional techniques. Hence the rate of treatment can be increased. The cost of treatment is also reduced than the current treatment process. It also provides a scheme of implementation drawing the attention of the investors.

India is one of the fastest growing economic countries. Hence the urbanization is expanding manifold. The area per person of free land space is also decreasing. Fewer trees are available in cities. This has become the major threat by aesthetic reasons, global warming reasons and cleanliness of air. Gardening has become the utmost reach to increase the green landscape. A proper method of increment in the greenery is most needed in the fast growing urban areas.

The proposed technique of practicing aquaponics using the treated effluents shall meet the requirements of expansion of the greenery. The amount of agricultural production shall also be increased than the present rate. The fish culture will be a solution to the huge amount of protein deficiency in the country. The rate of availability of the fish will also be increased.

Thus, a proper vision is developed where the objective does not lie on the beneficiary of the entrepreneur or the investor but also to the Government. The subsidy cost shall also go down by the implementation of the project. The environment and the common citizen of the nation shall also be an indirect beneficiary by the increased amount of greenery and nutrients in the dishes.

Edible Water Bubble and its Formulated Products

The water scarcity can be overcome by the usage of EWB. When there is plenty of water available during rainy seasons it can be purified and converted into Edible water bubble and stored for longer time. Healthy diet and consumption of variety of foods should ensure adequate supply of vitamin to the body. Multivitamin microcapsules are applied in medicinal uses for children’s with vitamin deficiency. As children are weak in taking medicines like syrups and tablets, microencapsules can do a better job. This formulation of multivitamin microcapsules is based on EWB methodology. Energy drinks are the easiest way to keep you active and energetic during long journeys and during sports activities. These types of jellys give refreshment to the body. The fruit jellys which are free from preservatives will become the good source for food industries to develop. The use of Food grade chemicals gives no side effects. According to the material safety datasheet the sodium alginate, calcium lactates do not cause any toxicological effects. Children’s who hate to consume fruits can be attracted to fruit jellys because of the unique structure and attractive colours.

Prof. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Business Incubator of Vinayaka Missions Kirupananda Variyar Engineering College, Salem is recognized as Business Incubator under one of the schemes of NMCP called “Support for Entrepreneurial and Managerial Development of SMEs through Incubators” by Ministry of MSME, Government of India, New Delhi. The project entitled “Application of Enzyme extracted from Aloe Vera plant in Textile, Leather and Paper Industries” has been selected for funding to the tune of Rs. 6.25 Lakhs by the Expert Committee headed by Development Commissioner, Ministry of MSME, Government of India, New Delhi.

The project embodies the best of green chemistry in textile, paper and leather industries and also integrating agro-sector and industrial sector. The project has explored the unique nature of Aloe Vera plant to develop organic enzymatic eco-friendly chemicals for textile, leather and paper manufacturing industries. The significant advantages of the project is to preserve our natural resources especially land and water in a sustainable way.

Now a days, highly alkaline chemicals like caustic soda, soda ash, silicate, acetic acid and soaping agents are used for scouring to remove the non-cellulosic impurities from the cotton. Use of 30 -40 gm/Kg on weight of the fabric, results in destruction of cotton structure. Intensive rinsing and more acid is needed for reutilization of cotton, which enlarge the volume of effluent .Furthermore, these hazards chemicals results in increase in COD, BOD and TDS in waste water .These chemicals also attack the cellulose leading to heavy strength loss and weight loss in the fabric .The net result is low quality control and polluted environment with high usage of energy, time ,chemical and water Aloe Vera presents the finest commercial opportunity in various industrial sectors among the various plants. Also, most of the countries gifted with the unique geographical features essential for cultivation of Aloe Vera. Yet, none of the country has not realized and reaped the full potential of such plants in various industrial applications. The reason is simple: lack of the requisite expertise in extraction of various enzymes present in aloe plant Fortunately, the technology is now accessible to make use of enzyme in textile, leather and paper application. It reduces volume of effluent as well as COD, TDS and pH. It saves a substantial thermal energy 50 % and electrical energy 40%.Bio scouring waste water has 40 -50 % less COD and 60 % less TDS as compare to conventional industrial waste water.

Economic benefits of bio scour (Indo Bio soft) over conventional Pre treatment process Economics for each process was calculated considering all the details like chemicals, auxiliaries, water, electricity and labor costs. It is observed that cost of processing fabric in traditional method is around1.32 USD /Kg, whereas costs of one stage enzymatic processed fabric was 0.5/Kg USD respectively. The net cost saving in enzymatic process is 0.82 USD /Kg.
