Magneto hydro dynamics power generation is a non-conventional energy resource used in modern systems. Due to high demand of coal, it is necessary to search for other alternative heat source to drive the magneto hydrodynamics power plants. The liquid metal like alumi-num, manganese, copper and silver can be employed due their improved thermal conductivity and flow characteristics. The magneto hydro dynamics power generation process needs high temperature heat source for converting the inert gas into ionized plasma. A regenerative heat exchanger is employed for heat transfer between melted metal from source chamber to argon gas chamber. The heat transfer coefficient between the liquid metal flow and inert gas is high according to flow conducting material. This work deals with the inert gas plasma which is produced from liquid aluminium and this can be used for recycling. This system proves only 36% of aluminum is required than that of regular MHD system using coal as a heating source.Keywords

Residual stress in weldments is one of the major concerns in manufacturing industries especially in welding. They occur, sometimes during the initial processing of metals and sometimes during rolling, forging, casting etc. In welding these stresses develop due to non uniform cooling of the welded zone. Tensile stresses are primarily responsible for crack initiation and product failure. Residual stress may also lead to premature failure of the welded joints when subjected to hazardous conditions. There are various physical methods of detection of residual stress in weldments such as x-ray diffraction and deep hole drilling. Nevertheless, numerical method is also one of the most popular methods among researchers to solve various complex engineering problems. In this work, numerical simulation is carried out by creating a 2-D model of the Austenitic stainless steel weldment with various boundary conditions using ANSYS 15.0 software and the results are studied. The details of residual stress are explained with relevance to failure occurrence.Keywords

This investigation thermodynamically analyzes a cascade refrigeration system which uses an eco-friendly refrigerant R744/R290 mixture in the circuit with lower temperature as a working fluid. It has zero ODP. Condensing temperature, evaporating temperature, and cascade temperature difference with and without the effect of superheating and subcooling of both circuits are the operating parameters and design parameters considered in this investigation. In the present study, thermodynamic analysis of an eco-friendly alternative new refrigerant (mixture of R744 and R290) was proposed and performed with five refrigerants such as R407c, R408a, R410a, R404a, and R417a, which are in the higher temperature circuits of a cascade refrigeration system. MAT-LAB software was performed in terms of temperature in evaporator, temperature in condenser and difference in cascade temperature to develop an expression mathematically for excellent COP, most favorable evaporating temperature of R744/R290 mixture and most favorable mass flow ratio of high temperature refrigerant to that R744/R290 mixture.Keywords
