S. M. Swamy, V.Pandurangadu

The centrifugal compressor is to study the effect of tip clearance on the performance characteristics and the wall static pressure for a different flow co-efficient. The tip clearance is varied by using spacers. The volume flow rate is varied with the help of throttling device to conduct the performance test. Obtaining the performance characteristics showing the variation of discharge pressure with volume flow rate for different tip clearance, viz. τ =2.2%, 4%, 6.1% and 7.9%. Measurement of periodic pressure at various tip clearance viz. τ =2.2%, 4%, 6.1% and 7.9%. For each tip clearance pressure measured in radial location of impeller at 6 positions for five flow coefficients viz., Ñ„ =0.40, =0.34 (both the above design flow), =0.28 (near design flow), =0.21=0.18 (both below design flow) and four values of non dimensional tip clearance viz., τ =2.2%, 4%, 6.1% and 7.9%, are chosen for experimental work. The objective of the research work is to measure the periodic variation static pressure on the casing over the rotor at different values of tip clearance and flow coefficients. The periodic pressure data is acquired employing the technique called PLEAT. Experiment carried out in a low speed centrifugal compressor with un-shrouded rotor. Six holes are provided on the casing in which adapters are attached, where the transducers are inserted. The pressure transducer measures pressure in terms of voltage. The voltage output is very low. The output voltage is amplified and converted to digital values for further processing of data.Sample results are presented and interpreted. From the measured static pressure, tip clearance flows can be easily identified.

Studies on Strength Properties of Artificial Light Weight (GSA) Aggregate Concrete

P. Lakshmaiahchowdary

In This experimental investigation the strength of GSA used (as pellets using Pilletazation process) concrete is evaluated for the Grade of M20 (mix design) at various replacements levels of GSA Aggregate (0 % to 100%). The results obtained are compared with concrete. From this study it was observed that cube compressive strength, split strength, young’s modulus, density, Ultimate load in Mode-II fracture decreased continuously with the increase in % age of GSA Aggregate i.e., from 0 to 100% replacement of Granite aggregate by GSA Aggregate . It was observed that In-plane shear stress at ultimate load decreases continuously. The KIIc values calculated from the fracture energy approach are found to be lesser than those values arrived from Finite element analysis. In both the approaches studied, the KIIc values are found to decrease continuously with the % age increase in GSA Aggregate content. The modulus of elasticity values calculated from experimentation and theoretical formulae are found to be in satisfactory agreement. Ratio of cylinder compressive strength to cube compressive strength ranges from 0.52 to 0.68 for 28 days and 0.59 to 0.62 for 90 days curing period. The flexural strength is found to decrease continuously with the percentage increase in GSA aggregate content. The flexural strength increases continuously with that of age i.e. 28 to 90 days

The Semi-Automated Machines Software Service Quality’s Impact on Usage, User Satisfaction and Company Benefits in the Zimbabwean Manufacturing Sector (1997-2013)

Dr. Farai Choga

Zimbabwe is an agricultural country and its industry is agricultural based. From 1997 the Zimbabwean economy started to decline. The country experienced a number of droughts and the government economic policies all led to currency crisis from the same year. The Zimbabwean dollar was overvalued and business relied on the parallel market in sourcing foreign currency. This heavily affected the manufacturing sector. The impact of software quality on the manufacturing sector has not been measured. This study sought to determine this impact using data generated from the companies that had semi-automated machines. Of the 12, in the purposively sampled companies, 6 were found to use semi-automated production machines. The findings showed negligible software impact on usage, user satisfaction and company benefits. As a result, the Zimbabwean companies faced problems in the production of quality exportable products and this had a negative bearing on the country’s economic growth.

Functions x1/2, x1/3 and x1/4

Azizul Hasan and R. B. Srivastava

Polynomial interpolation of functions f(x)=x1/2 , f(x)=x1/3 and f(x)=x1/4 in the interval [1, 2] using Newton’s Divided Difference Formula by dividing the interval into 10 equal parts have been done to find the Newton’s interpolating polynomials in the forms f(x) = c0 + c1 x + c2 x2 + ….. + c10 x10. Actual values, calculated value by Newton’s interpolating polynomials, difference between actual and calculated values by Newton’s interpolating polynomial, percentage error in the values calculated by Newton’s interpolating polynomials at x=1.00, 1.01, 1.02, …, 2.00 have been computed. Average percentage errors in the interpolation of functions x1/2, x1/3 and x1/4 using Newton’s divided difference formula show that x1/3 is better interpolated as compared to x1/2 and x1/4.

Alterations in the levels of catecholamines and inhibition of MAO in Rat Brain: Reversal Effect of Alpha – tocopherol

K. Kiran Kumari, G. Indravathi, C. Bhuvaneswari Devi

Central nervous system is an important target for manganese (Mn) poisoning and accumulation of Mn in the CNS triggers neurotoxicity resulting in a neurological brain disorder, referred to as manganism. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of neurotransmitters (i.e. epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine) and Monoamine oxidase (MAO) in rats exposed to Manganese. The young albino rats (both 2 months and 4 months old) were exposed to low dose (2.5mg/kg body weight) and high dose (5mg/kg body weight) of Mn through intraperitoneal injection for a period of 3 weeks and left for a period of one week for supplementation with α-tocopherol at a dose of 5mg/kg body weight through intraperitoneal injection. After the period of dosage, the animals were sacrificed through cervical dislocation and the tissues were stored at -800C for the further biochemical analysis. In the present study, it was observed that the epinephrine, norepinephrine levels were increased in synaptosomal fraction of low dose and the epinephrine, norepinephrine levels were decreased in high dose at both the ages (2 months and 4 months) when compared to control. However, the administration of alpha tocopherol along with Mn showed decrease in epinephrine, norepinephrine levels at low dose and increase in epinephrine, norepinephrine levels at high dose respectively. In addition to epinephrine and norepinephrine the dopamine levels were increased in synaptosomal fraction of low dose and high dose of Mn at both the ages (2 months and 4months) when compared to control. However, the administration of alpha tocopherol along with Mn showed decrease in dopamine levels at both low dose and high doses respectively. Maximal decrease in MAO was observed in two months old rats treated with low dose as well as high dose of Mn. In four months old rats also, similar decreasein MAO was observed. However, the administration of α-tocopherol along with Mnshowed recovery from MAO.

Influence of Shaft Configuration and Method of Installation on Load Carrying Capacity of Pile Foundations

T. W. Adejumo and I. L. Boiko

The load carrying capacity, otherwise known as the bearing capacity of pile foundations has been reported to be influenced by many factors. Theoretically and from empirical pile baring capacity equations, the shape or configuration of the piles as well as method of installation employed during construction affect its bearing capacity. This article presents the results of laboratory and field investigations on the influence of shaft configuration and method of installation on the bearing capacity of modeled piles carried out on soils in the metropolis of Minsk, Belarus. Conical piles, with tapered cross section have higher bearing capacity in fairly homogenous soils, (either soft or stiff). In sandy and silty sand soils, especially where fine sand overlaid a stronger coarse sand layers, driven piles (installed by hammer or vibrator) have higher bearing capacity than bored piles, whereas the latter have higher bearing capacity where soft soil layers sandwiched between stronger strata. Cylindrical piles installed by boring method have higher bearing capacity in sandy soils than prismatic pile installed by driven, but the latter gave higher bearing values in layered soil with thicker stiff silty clay above sandy layers. In addition to this, the results, show bearing capacity increments of 10% in bored piles, 21% in hammered driven piles, and 26% in vibrated driven piles. The bearing capacity of conical piles with tapered cross section is 2-3 times higher than cylindrical piles and 1.5 – 2 times higher than prismatic piles respectively. Pile driving (by hammer or vibrator) yielded higher result in sandy soils, boring is better in cohesive clay and silty clay soil.

The Effects of Semi-Automated Production Systems on the Manufacturing Sector: The Zimbabwean Case (1997 – 2013)

Dr.FaraiChoga

Between 1997 and 2013, Zimbabwe experienced serious economic problems. The production had gone down in the manufacturing sector. Multicurrency was introduced in 2009 and a positive economic growth was expected. This study sought to find out the impact of semi-automated means of production in the manufacturing sector during this period. A qualitative paradigm was employed. Interviews, observations, documentations and open-ended questionnaire were used as data generation methods. Purposive sampling was done and 19 companies identified, but only 12 agreed to participate in the study. The findings showed that there were weak links between the semi-automated production systems and the usage of the systems, user satisfaction and company benefits. The systems operated independently and the use of paperwork between departments was a common feature. Technologically, Zimbabwe was far behind the Asian countries that used integrated systems.
