Cardiac cell modelling provides a logical framework for integrating and understanding the results of experimental study of cardiac cellular physiology. Many computational models of cardiac ventricular cell have been developed to understand the work, out of these, three already existing models, namely Beeler-Reuter model, Luo-Rudy phase-I model and Luo-Rudy phase-II model is analyzed and their comparative study has been performed. These models are compared on the basis of action potential characteristics; peak overshoot potential, resting membrane potential, amplitude, notch potential, plateau potential, action potential duration and diastolic interval, at cycle length of 1000msec. These models are also analyzed one by one for action potential, transmembrane currents and calcium transients at different cycle lengths of 1000msec, 750msec, 500msec and 400msec. Our study reveals, when cycle length is decreased, wave shape of the action potential, all transmembrane currents (except INa) and intracellular calcium concentration becomes narrower for all the models. In LR-II model potassium time dependent current IK is approximately doubled as compared with the other two models, enhancing its ability to repolarize the membrane, so APD is smaller as compared with the other two models.

Swachh Bharat Mission is a one step towards keeping our village and cities clean and make people aware to maintain it. A lot of workforce is employed and working under the Swachh Bharat Mission but maintaining cleanliness is still a big issue. Cleanliness is done by various ground level workers and supervisors submit cleanliness report to their seniors and senior supervisors submit their reports to their seniors. This is a long hierarchy to see the cleanliness report by the responsible persons at higher hierarchy and it has a lot of mismatch with the ground level cleanliness. So supervising cleanliness is a big problem and cleanliness at ground level is not transparent to the responsible authorities. In proposed solution cameras will be installed all over the places where supervising is required. We will prepare a dataset which will show the dirtiness and cleanliness at different level for the specified places. To report the cleanliness our software will capture a picture everyday at specified time and it will compare with the designed software and it will produce a transparent and accurate report of cleanliness of the specified places to the responsible authorities.

The most important environmental challenge faced by the world is the waste management which is generated from various agro processing industries and sugar industry is no exception. Thus emphasis is being given on minimization of waste and on increasing revenue generation through utilization of by-products in an innovative manner. With the depleting natural resources, increasing demand for green and clean energy in place of conventional system using from fossil fuel, there is indeed a need to explore alternatives that maintain the ecosystem balance and also the requirements of the society without affecting the natural resources. One such rational approach towards economic and environmental sustainability is adoption of bio-energy systems with a vision to save fossil energy. Converting a conventional sugar mill into a bio-energy process plant would contribute to fossil energy savings via renewable electricity, bio-gas/bio-CNG and ethanol substituting for fossil electricity and gasoline, respectively. One of the advantages of using bio-energy system is their low greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to fossil-energy ones. The present work examines the possibilities of utilizing filter cake from sugar factories for production of bio-gas, compressed bio-gas/bio-CNG, thereby addressing the environmental issues and successful transformation for value addition.

Reactive power compensation is an important issue in the control of electric power system. Reactive power from the source increases the transmission losses and reduces the power transmission capability of the transmission lines. Moreover, reactive power should not be transmitted through the transmission line to a longer distance. Hence, Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices such as static compensator (STATCOM), unified power flow controller (UPFC) and static volt–ampere compensator (SVC) are used to alleviate these problems. In this paper, single phase STATCOM using hysteresis band current control is presented as the final year project. The detail MATLAB simulation study has been done, with addition to that, a hardware design to realize the system has been proposed, simulated, fabricated and tested in the lab. The MATLAB simulation model uses capacitor as DC source and PI controller to maintain its voltage. But, in order to reduce the complexity because of technical and time constraint, the hardware is designed with DC battery source eliminating the PI controller. The output gives the positive results.

Joining of dissimilar metals has found its use extensively in power generation, electronic, nuclear reactors, petrochemical and chemical industries mainly to get tailor-made properties in a component and reduction in weight. However efficient welding of dissimilar metals has posed a major challenge due to difference in thermo- mechanical and chemical properties of the materials to be joined under a common welding condition. This causes a steep gradient of the thermo-mechanical properties along the weld. A variety of problems come up in dissimilar welding like cracking, large weld residual stresses, migration of atoms during welding causing stress concentration on one side of the weld, compressive and tensile thermal stresses, stress corrosion cracking, etc. Weld residual stress and thermal stress have been analysed for dissimilar metal welding of 304 stainless steel to 1020 mild steel taking 302 stainless steel as the filler metal. Similarly taking strain developed as an index the susceptibility of the welded joint to stress corrosion cracking have been studied. It is found that when the filler metal is replaced by Inconel 625 significant improvement is obtained in the welded joint in terms of reduction in stress developed and stress corrosion cracking. Also the problem of carbon migration is eliminated by the use of Inconel 625 as a weld filler metal due to the resistance of nickel-based alloys to any carbon diffusion through them.

This study approaches with the implementation of feasible construction of common tunnel utility. Many diversions are made while reconstructing the road which also causes traffic congestion. Urban utilities are overcrowding underground space. Therefore, future sustainable underground strategies will consist of the competency to reduce the utilization of traditional trenching. During the last century, there was an incrementing interest in utility tunnels for urban areas as a quandary-solving technique to evade congestion of the street subsurface. Utility tunnels or utilidors are joint-use underground facilities that may contain multiple utilities such as water, sewerage, gas, electrical power, telephone, and central heating in sundry combined or in some cases en masse. The key advantage of utility tunnel is the substantially lower environmental impact when compared with trenching alternatives. Their construction presents no incipient quandaries of an engineering nature. However, implementing these subsurface tunnels is retarded most by first-cost, compatibility, and liability quandaries. These underground facilities are highly complex and arduous to manage because of synergistic effects. Utility tunnels, as a major capital investment in urban development, should be considered in the broad context of the urban orchestrating strategy. This research work has fixated on utility tunnel feasibility and its practical application in urban areas. Many difficulties are faced while reconstructing the roads. As it is not economical in future to always dismantle the damaged road and reconstruct it. While dismantling the road and reconstructing it causes problem like destroying of telephone lines, drainage lines, and water supply lines. With this thought in mind, we are undertaking the project of designing a utility tunnel for the stretch Anand-Vidhyanagr road.
