Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) has become an important and cost-effective method of machining extremely tough and brittle electrically conductive materials. It is widely used in the process of making moulds, dies, sections of complex geometry and intricate shapes. The work piece material selected for this study is AISI 304L Stainless steel. In the present work the effect and percentage contribution of various machining parameters on output parameters is studied using Taguchi’s method and ANOVA analysis. A hybrid Taguchi based grey relational analysis is proposed for multi objective optimization of performance variables i.e. high material removal rate, low tool wear rate, better surface finish with lower dimensional tolerance. Further a regression analysis can be used for finding the model equations for various performance parameters. The input parameters considered in this study are dielectric flow rate, discharge current, Pulse on time (Ton) and Pulse off time (TOff). The tool material used is copper. Analysis of variance is used to study the significance of process variables on Material Removal Rate (MRR), Tool Wear Rate (TWR), Surface Roughness (Ra), Dimensional Tolerance (DT). The analysis using Taguchi method reveals that discharge current significantly affects MRR, Dimensional Tolerance and Ra whereas TWR is mostly affected by flow rate of the dielectric used. A comparison of the hybrid approach and Taguchi analysis is presented in this study. The confirmation test supports the result of the proposed hybrid Grey-Taguchi analysis.

Improvement of potholes on streets and roads of India after the onset of storms is a typical marvel. Frequently, potholes are repaired with outdated methods, for example, putting soil or exposed aggregate in the pothole in light of the fact that no hot mix asphalt is accessible amid storms and winter season. In today's situation street condition are seeing to be better because of joining of interchange strategies, procedures, innovations. An economical, nonexclusive, readymade stockpile cold patching mix has been proposed, which is produced in a batch type cold mix plant utilizing local aggregate. This nonspecific mix can be put without setting up the pothole, for example, drying, squaring the edges, cleaning, and tack coating. To the motoring public, potholes are one of the most visible and annoying forms of pavement distress. Most pothole repairs made during the winter months are short-lived. Potholes that must be filled repeatedly are expensive to repair. Recent field trials of this mix in Surat City have been profoundly fruitful.

The main concept the paper involves the improvement of the efficiency of data packet delivery underwater. Efficient and consistent routing protocols are very much essential and crucial to underwater sensor networks (UWSNs). Nowadays terrestrial communication proves to be much simpler and the problems faced by them are different from nodes faced underwater. Acoustic communication that prevails underwater still makes sensor communication a colossal task. An approach to improve the underwater communication is by learning more about the acoustic signals. In this paper we propose a Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR), a novel routing protocol for wireless networks that will make use of positions of the available routers and the respected packet’s destination to make packet forwarding decisions. It makes use of greedy algorithm to forward packets using the information about the router's immediate neighbors in the topology. If the packet is forwarded to a region where greedy algorithm is impossible then it recovers by routing around the perimeter of the region. GPSR can make use of local topology information to find new routes to forward the data packets quickly.

Concrete is weak in tension and possesses high compressive strength, stiffness, low thermal, brittle character and toxicity so it is have provided a technical basis for improving such deficiencies. The use of fibres is to improve the characteristics of construction materials. Fibres are small pieces of reinforcing materials added to a concrete mix. In addition with the most common fibres used is namely steel, glass, asbestos, etc. When the loads imposed on the concrete approach that for failure, crack will propagate, sometimes rapidly, fibres in concrete provides a means of arresting the crack growth. If the modulus of elasticity of fibre is high with respect to the modulus of elasticity of concrete or mortar binder the fibre helps to carry the load, thereby increasing the tensile strength of the material. Fibres increase the toughness, the split as well as compressive strength, and reduce the creep strain and shrinkage of concrete.In this paper, the aim of the study is to comparison between properties of fibre reinforced concrete at different percentage 1% to 3% with respect to 7days and 28days fresh water curing with nominal concrete at weigh batching and volume batching method. Concluded that the addition of fibres improves ductility of concrete and its post-cracking load carrying capacity. Split tensile strength of concrete goes on increasing as fibre content is increases. The compressive strength of concrete by weigh batching is higher as compared to volumetric batching method.

Soot blowing is an often neglected aspect of the operation of a pulverized coal boiler, yet the way Soot blowers are used can have a significant impact on the financial bottom line. Optimizing soot blowing practice can help reduce emissions and improve unit heat rate. In most pulverized coal boilers, slag from coal ash builds up on the walls of the furnace. Left unattended, the deposits can become unmanageable in size and require an expensive outage for removal. The deposits reduce the heat transfer rate in the water wall region, resulting in increased gas temperatures leaving the furnace. The long retractable soot blower consists of a lance tube with a nozzle at the end. When it is operated, the lance is extended into the boiler up to 8m leading to high amount of lateral or cantilever displacement acting on it. Sometimes the supporting rollers that provides inward and outward movement to the lance tube inside the boiler gets jam and works improperly and thereby inducing drag force and friction on the lance tube. Basically, this work deals with the failure analysis and design development of Long Retractable Soot Blower (LRSB).
