Fabrication of Compressed Air Vehicle

C. Chinglenthoiba*, V. Balaji, B. Abbas, A. Madhan Kumar Department of Mechanical Engineering, Mahendra Engineering College Namakkal, Affiliated to Anna

University, Chennai, India

ABSTRACT

To meet the increasing demand for the fossil fuel consumption with increasing population and automobiles, various advancements such as hybrid electric vehicles, solar vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles are being attained in automobile sector. Also the increasing level of automobile pollutants and global warming due to increase in the percentage of CO2 demands a cleaner technology like compressed air technology (CAT).

Keywords: compressed air technology, effective renewable alternative energy, zero pollution vehicle

INTRODUCTION Many research have been carried out in the field of automotive sector to find a fuel which best suits the requirements. Though hydrogen, liquid nitrogen, etc. proved to be good alternatives the environmental degradation also demanded a cleaner fuel. This led to the development of air engine in the middle of 19th century by Andraud and Tessie’ Du Motay in Paris.[1–5] The air engine is the one which uses compressed air as a fuel. Here the pressure energy of the compressed air is converted into kinetic energy. Because it is devoid of combustion the exhaust consists nothing but cold air thus making it a zero pollution engine. Objective The main objectives are: To find an effective alternative fuel for

the future.

To develop a zero pollution vehicle and hence contribute to the act of reducing global warming.

To make automobile common for a common man.

To formulate economic way of transportation.

To minimize the usage of fast depleting non-renewable resources especially gasoline and diesel.

PREVIOUS WORKS

Here few researches are outlined as given below related to compressed air engine. Air fueled zero emission road transportation: In a comparative study, Haisheng Chen et al. adopted two technologies typical compressed air and liquid air power systems for co. Figures 1–4 show schematic diagram and working of cycle on temperature – entropy diagram for the both systems. As per author’s knowledge and belief only few works reported on this study.[6–17]

A Short Account on Merits and Demerits of Compressed Air

Engine Applications

C. Chinglenthoiba*, V. Balaji, B. Abbas, A. Madhan Kumar Department of Mechanical Engineering, Mahendra Engineering College, Affiliated to Anna University,

Namakkal, Chennai, India BACKGROUND

The Compressed air vehicles so far are used in two types of applications typically (1) Two wheeler application (2) Four wheeler applications

ADVANTAGES The following are the important merits of compressed air engine: It serves as an alternate fuel

Since compressed air has the potential to move the piston by virtue of its pressure energy, it can be served as an alternate fuel.

Reduced fuel cost compared to gasoline and diesel engines Cost of compressed air per km to run the vehicle is less compared to that of using gasoline or diesel due to their increase in demand and cost in the market.

Reduced emission as compared to present vehicles (eco-friendly) Since the air engine is devoid of combustion there are no harmful gases in their exhaust. The exhaust contains nothing but the expanded cold air.

The fuel used is a renewable one The air engine uses compressed air as fuel. Atmospheric air is a renewable source of energy which can be compressed by means of a compressor which when running on electric current generated by renewable energy source becomes a zero polluting engine.[1–17]

Low exhaust temperature Compressed air on expansion loses its

temperature. This reduction in temperature is directly proportional to

the initial pressure of air stored in the tank. This chilled air can be used for air conditioning of the vehicle.

Very less lubrication is required Due to the absence of combustion in the engine its working temperature is reduced considerably. The heat generated in the engine is only due to the friction of moving parts. So very less lubrication is required.

Much like electrical vehicles, air powered vehicles would ultimately be powered through the electrical grid. This makes it easier to focus on reducing pollution from one source, as opposed to the millions of vehicles on the road.

Transportation of the fuel would not be required due to drawing power off the electrical grid. This presents significant cost benefits. Pollution created during fuel transportation would be eliminated.

Compressed-air technology reduces the

cost of vehicle production by about 20%, because there is no need to build a cooling system, fuel tank, Ignition Systems or silencers.

The engine can be massively reduced in size.

The engine runs on cold or warm air, so can be made of lower strength light weight material such as aluminium, plastic, low friction Teflon or a combination.

A Review of Renewable Energy Resources: Current Status and

Their Enabling Technology

Khagendra Kushwaha*, Rahul Agrawal*, Govind Patel Department of Mechanical Engineering, Poornima University, Jaipur, India

ABSTRACT

The increase in rapid industrialization for different development programs have created energy crisis for many developing countries. If this increase in demand will rely upon Coal based thermal power plants, it results in environment pollution and high cost of generation. So the best alternate solution is to develop plants based on renewable sources of energy in the country. The potential for renewable energy resources is enormous because they can, in principle, exponentially exceed the world's energy demand; therefore, these types of resources will have a significant share in the future global energy portfolio. The Renewable sources of energy include Energy from Biomass, Geothermal Energy, Hydro power energy, wind Energy and Solar Energy. Biomass can be explained as all organic material originating from plants, trees and crops, and is essentially the collection and storage of the sun's energy through photosynthesis. Geothermal energy is the energy contained as heat in the Earth’s interior and considered as a cost effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly energy source. Hydropower is based on a simple process taking the advantage of the kinetic energy freed by the falling water and a source of clean energy and its generation is not linked to issues concerning fuel supply, especially the price volatility of imported fuels. Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaics’, solar thermal energy, solar architecture and artificial photosynthesis. This paper presents current scenario, scientific developments and deployment of Renewable sources of Energy. Keywords: energy, geothermal, hydro, resources, renewable

INTRODUCTION

Energy is considered to be a key factor in the generation of wealth, social development and improved quality of life in all developed and developing countries in the world [1]. The global energy consumption is likely to grow faster than the population growth. Estimates of the world primary energy consumption are that 80% of the energy supply is provided by fossil fuels [2]. Conventional energy sources based on oil, coal, and natural gas have proven to be highly effective drivers of economic progress. However, with the rapid depletion of conventional energy sources and increasing energy demand,

worldwide primary energy consumption has grown by 1.8% in 2012 [3]. Renewable energies are energy sources that are continually replenished by nature and derived directly from the sun (such as thermal, photo-chemical, and photo-electric), indirectly from the sun (such as wind, hydropower, and photosynthetic energy stored in biomass), or from other natural movements and mechanisms of the environment (such as geothermal and tidal energy). Renewable energy does not include energy resources derived from

Geothermal Energy and Its Future as Renewable Energy

Sauradeep Niyogi* School of Engineering and Technology, Poornima University, Jaipur, India

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the use of geothermal energy in our energy system. The paper stresses with different ways in which geothermal energy can be converted into electrical energy. The paper also shows the different geothermal projects in the world and some potenial regions where Geothermal energy can be extracted in India. The paper then discusses some alternative uses of geothermal energy. The paper at last suggests some technological changes which can be applied in future to make this potential energy much more useful.

Keywords: compressed CO2, electricity, graphene, geothermal energy

INTRODUCTION

The term Geothermal originates from two Geek words 'GEO' and 'THERM'. The Greek word ‘geo’ means the earth whilst their word for ‘therm’ means heat from the earth.All the renewable energies are provided by natural resources such as sunlight, wind, water, and geothermal heat. Through the use of advanced engineering technologies, we are able to collect the energy and to convert it in a more usable form. Geothermal energy is extracted from the heat stored in earth. The earth’s centre is a distance of approximately 4000 miles and is so hot that it is molten. Temperatures are understood to be at least 5000 degrees centigrade.[1] This heat from the center of earth conducts outwards and heat up the rocks. Rain water sometimes seeps down through geological fault lines and cracks becoming super heated by the hot rocks below. Some of this super heated water rises back to the surface of the earth where it emerges as hot springs or even geysers. Sometimes the hot water becomes trapped below the surface as a geothermal reservoir. Pumps are used to extract the heat and use it for different purposes.

BACKGROUND OF GEOTHERMAL

ENERGY

Geothermal energy is well esteblished energy sector. Earlier In 2008 Geothermal power production exceeded three times that of solar power. Current growth in geothermal sector is steady, but rather slow. While wind and solar photovoltaic energy are undergoing acclerating growth in its development, geothermal energy has rather sen a linear growth. So far its deployment has relied mainly on hot rocks and water located on special geothermal places.[2–5] USE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

There are two main categories of utilization of geothermal energy and they are power generation and direct use. Direct use of geothermal energy means that the thermal energy from underground is used directly as heat, rather than being used to generate electricity. There are significant advantages of geothermal energy over other energy sources. Geothermal energy is available around the clock, independent of the time of day and night, or of the current climatic conditions.

Recent Trends of Hybrid Solar Dryer

Sourav Kumar, Pardeep Kumar Department of Mechanical Engineering, Poornima University, India

ABSTRACT

In most of the countries trends are agricultural product drying under the open sun. This type of drying method degrade the quality of product due external impurities are settle down on product, require lots of land for drying and decrease the drying rate. The efficiency of agricultural dryers could be increased through the use of a combination of solar and biomass heating sources, compared to conventional dryers with only solar or only biomass heating sources. The use of solar energy for, heating, distillation, cooking, drying, refrigeration and air conditioning and power generation is increasing day by day because of a high consumption rate of fossil fuels, round the globe and systems are there which performs on solar energy to fulfill the demand of, cooking, distillation, water heating, etc. Solar energy based drying techniques offer better return on investment to farmers. The drying process in the hybrid forced mode of operation is twice faster than the sun drying. Basically, there are three types of solar dryers; direct solar dryers, indirect solar dryers and mixed-mode dryers. This paper is focused on hybrid solar dryers. Drying proceeded successfully even under unfavorable weather conditions in the hybrid mode of operation these are the most cost effective type of dryers and are easy to fabricate and use. In this paper, we viewed different types of hybrid solar dryers and different design modifications applied to them in order to increase their effectiveness.

Keyword: biomass heating source, drying process, indirect solar dryer, investment, mixed-mode dryer

INTRODUCTION

The use of solar energy is continuously progressive because of an efficient and cost free source on the earth. Globally, solar energy contributes to all the necessary heating and cooling tasks such as, cooking, crop drying, water heating, space heating, timber seasoning, power generation, refrigeration, air conditioning, etc. The qualities of this free fuel from the sun are, pollution free fuel, available in good amount at almost locations on the earth, abandon source of energy, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, recovery of despoiled land, less requirement for transmission lines within the power grid, progress in the quality of water resources, etc.

Most tropical regions high levels of solar radiation throughout the year, much of this radiation are absorbed by frequent rain and persistent cloud cover. Due to inadequate preservation techniques available to farmers in developing countries, large quantities of agricultural output with high moisture contents are lost annually due to decomposition by microorganisms. This results in reduction of the net agricultural output and subsequent reduction in the gross domestic product (GDP) of the developing countries.
