The enlargement of Indian food industry is an even matter of fact. Especially the beverage industry is at its peak. So looking at the prevailing conditions it is very crucial to continue an error free fast production line. For this purpose an automated liquid level monitoring system has been proposed in this paper. The work is achieved by using image processing techniques for the detection of the correct liquid level. This project aims at designing an automated system for monitoring the bottle filling process in the beverage industry. The aim is to check whether the bottle is filled with proper quantity of beverage or not. Moreover we have also developed an algorithm in which level of any liquid with any color can be detected. Moreover we have added bottle cap detection system in the same algorithm to make a full proof system for bottle packaging industry. Since bottling is one of the most common packaging styles in the food industries, in this paper we will depend on the visual inspection of bottles. Checking the quality of the cap closure and over-filling/under-filling checks for the level of the liquid in the bottle have been observed to reach an optimized bottle product. The proposed work is achieved using image processing techniques utilizing the Matlab platform without disturbing the high speed production line. We have used a color cropping technique for color detection and level sensing. All of this activity needs to be done in such a way without disturbing the production line.

The use of GGBS concrete has recently gained popularity as a resource efficient, durable, cost effective, sustainable option for many types Portland cement concrete (PCC) applications. The current work was carried out to investigate concrete mixes with GGBS substitution based on total cement weight in the range of 15% to 60% by weight. Water to cement ratio was maintained 0.5. Concrete cubes of size 150mmX150mmX150mm and prisms of size 75mmX100mmX500mm were tested for compressive strength and static flexural strength in accordance with ASTM test methods at ages 3, 7 and 28 days respectively. A total number of 60 cubes and 60 prisms were casted for this purpose. High replacement of cement by GGBS in concrete caused reduction in compressive strength and flexural strength. Compressive strength of GGBS concrete increased up to GGBS addition of 30% and slightly lowered the strength than plain concrete after further additions. However, GGBS concrete achieved adequate strength appropriate for structural application even at the 45% cement replacement. GGBS concrete showed substantial gain in compressive and flexural strengths with the age.

Pages: 75 - 80
Desalination is a highly energy consuming process where millions of tons of fuel are used for this purpose. On the other hand, large quantities of fuel are consumed for the drying of essential consumables annually. In this project, we design and analyse a combination of a solar operated desalination system and a conventional air dryer assembly to utilize the remnant heat of steam from desalination. The system primarily consists of two linked units comprising of a tank, a compound parabolic concentrator and an all glass evacuated tube and a conventional heat exchanger. In each unit independent desalination processes are carried out and the steam produced in the first unit is circulated into the second. The resultant steam is directed into the heat exchanger where the steam is condensed to water. The system is subjected to analysis and results show a fresh water yield of 1.6 kg/hr/m2 and a rise in temperature of air by 44ºC. The designed system is of compact size such that it can be easily utilized for household purposes and of low setup and maintenance cost.

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is used to investigate the energy separation mechanism and flow phenomena within a counter-flow vortex tube. A vortex tube is a simple energy separating device which splits a compressed air stream into a cold and hot stream without any external energy supply or chemical reactions. The engine exhaust is given into a turbocharger and the compressed air from the compressor is given into the vortex tube. Model is completed using SolidWorks. Analysis is carried out in ANSYS. FLUENT is the software used to simulate fluid flow problems. It is generally used for computational Fluid Dynamics problems. It uses the finite-volume method to solve the governing equations for a fluid. It provides a wide field to solve problems. Numerical computations have been carried out to predict vortex tube flow. Variation of pressure and temperature inside vortex tube were studied. The obtained profiles indicate a hot peripheral flow and a reversing cold inner core flow. The results showed that temperature separation inside the vortex tube exists. Air taken from the cold outlet is used for refrigeration.

In the field of the geotechnical engineering in general the soil stabilization in particular clayey soil, are distributed all over world. In India black cotton soil is available in many states and if covers about the (0.8x106km2) area near about 20% of surface area. Due to their moisture content variation characteristics they cause severe damage to foundations and super structures of the buildings leading to huge economic loss. The globally growing demand of cement results in collection of kiln dust from cement plants. The disposal of this fine dust is very difficult and poses an environmental threat. Main objective of this research is to utilize the industrial waste like cement kiln dust to improve the engineering characteristics of the black cotton soil. This study presents a research review on cement kiln dust (CKD) usage in soil and waste utilization and the results of experimental investigation on its usage in soil stabilization. Soil samples were tested with the cement kiln dust from 0% to 25% of dry weight of the soil, samples were prepared and results showed a significant increase in soaked California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Unconfined Compressive strength values. DFS of black cotton soil reduced from (31%) to (5%). From the compaction tests result increased in maximum dry density (MDD) from 1.73 gm/cc to 2.03gm/cc and decrease in optimum moisture content (OMC) from 20.04% to 10.94%. Permeability increased from 4.80x10-4 cm/s to 1.43x10-3 cm/s. In this investigation it can be seen that cement kiln dust has tendency to improve the engineering characteristics of black cotton soil.

In current scenario everything is being transferred on the web and other communication medium. So that we need to make our data secure from all other attacker and unauthorized person. So that we have to give lot of protection to the transmitting data. For that we have lots of cryptography algorithm .But all of then do not provide level best protection in today’s world as there are lots of ways to make that algorithm cracked and the cryptanalyst can retrieve the plain text so easily. So that with reference to the RSA and other famous algorithms as Diffie Hellman and N-prime RSA we have tried to give one more level of security by the use of Magic Rectangle. And by the use of Magic Rectangle we can have different cipher text for the same character. So by these many reasons this approach give enhancement to the public key cryptosystem. And Magic Rectangle have different approach that can unable to get the plain text without the knowledge of generation of Magic Rectangle.

The multilevel inverters have drawn tremendous interest in the power industry. The unique structure of multilevel voltage source inverter allows them to reach high voltages with low harmonics without the use of transformers or series-connected synchronized switching devices. A diode clamped multilevel inverter is used .For these type of inverters as the number of levels is high enough ,the harmonic content will be low enough to avoid filters. The inverter efficiency is higher and it is having simple control methods than all other types of multilevel inverters. A nine level multilevel inverter is used here. A comparative study on the THD of nine level diode clamped inverter has been carried out. The diode clamped inverter provides multiple voltage levels from a nine level unidirectional voltage balancing method. Multicarrier SPWM control is used to obtain high quality sinusoidal output voltage with reduced harmonics. It is an effective replacement for the conventional method which has high switching losses and poor drive performance. It reduces the total harmonic distortion and enhances performance of any drive system. Variation in the performance characteristics of the induction motor has been done by connecting it with multilevel inverter. The effectiveness of the system is verified through simulation using MATLAB Simulink package and hardware implementation has been done.
