Rakesh R Nayaka, Dr. K. Kumar, Dr.Sridhar.R
Abstract
Plastic is highly toxic in nature. The plastic wastes which are produced are non-bio degradable in nature. Hence experiments have been carried out to use these plastic wastes in construction of roads. The use of these wastes in road construction is based on Economic, Technical and Ecological criteria. The bitumen can be modified with plastic waste pieces forming a mix which can be used as a top layer of flexible pavement, showing better binding property, stability, density and which is more resistant to water. The plastic main ingredients such as polyamide and acrylic granules are used to increase the strength of flexible pavements. . The quantity of bitumen is varied by 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, & 25% of weight of bitumen.
It has been observed that the specimen with 20% of polyamide granules has higher strength when compared to other percentages of polyamide granules. Also in case of acrylic granules the specimen with 10% of acrylic granules has higher strength than the other percentages of acrylic granules. Both these plastic granules showed increase in strength when compared to controlled specimen.
When the strength of polyamide granules and acrylic granules are compared with each other it is seen that polyamide granules shows higher strength than that of the acrylic granules. Further it has been found that such roads were not subjected to stripping when come in contact with water.

 

6. Analysis on Chinese Economy and Ageing Population: Emphasis on Effects of Labor Supply
Dr. S.S.Jeyaraj
Abstract
The paper examines the impact of population ageing on the most important macroeconomic aggregates and internal economic growth of a country. The main target is to examine the impact of population growth rate and elderly poverty rate changes on these variables with respect to the population ageing. The population growth should lead to the increase in the available labour forces and successively to the growth of capital, consumption and GDP. Earlier researches strongly demonstrated that demographic changes do influence the economy. Therefore, increasing elderly population and its effect could in the future markedly influence economic development of ageing country especially developing economies. As a result of cost of labour goes up, profit will fall and cause domestic inflation and decrease in savings rate will slow down the capital formation and development in GDP. Short-supply of labour in cities and leads to increase the migration from rural to urban and scarcity of labour to support rural economic development and cause uneven economic development due to ageing population.

7. TO PROPOSE A FRAMEWORK – IDPS FOR A MANET UNDER FLOODING ATTACK
Dr. A. Francis Saviour Devaraj, Mr. Akalu Assefa
Abstract
Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a type of ad-hoc network in which a collection of mobile devices form a network without any infrastructure. MANET is widely used at locations where the fixed infrastructure for communication has been destroyed or in demanding situations such as earthquake, flood, fire explosions, plane/air crash etc. The mobile ad hoc networks depend on the participating node's battery to perform its operation. It is a well known fact that insufficient battery power leads to link failure in the network and it requires re-establishment of the network. Since there is no centralized administration in MANET, it is vulnerable to security threats. Flooding attack is one of the internal/external active security threats. The compromised node sends a large amount of RREQ packets to the neighbor node or massive amount of useless data packets to nodes in the network. Therefore there is a need to propose a frame work - IDPS for a MANET under flooding attack. The proposed framework detects the flooding attack thereby saving bandwidth & battery, by not responding to the bogus request, with the aid of routing table information. The proposed framework also prevents the flooding attack, thereby saving bandwidth & battery, with the aid of information about the battery capacity.

Anand R, Lokesharun D, Rajkumar S, Kirubakaran R
Abstract
Afterburners are typically used as thrust augmentation devices critical for tactical maneuvers during combat. The current project proposes to study the internal flow patterns in an afterburner for non-reacting flows through numerical analyses using a commercial computational tool. Thrust generated on attaching the afterburner to the jet engine was provided by the non-reacting (cold) flow analysis. In the reacting (hot) flow analysis, a drastic increase in the exit velocity and temperature was observed as compared to the cold flow trials due to combustion, indicating approximately 35% increase in the thrust generated due to afterburning. The purpose of this project is to employ NUMECA software for the 3 Dimensional analyses in an afterburner by carrying out cold flow analysis. The liner is considered as a thin metal sheet. The holes on the liner are considered as a porous material. Heat source has been considered for the hot flow analysis. Conclusively, the study demonstrated the effect of an afterburner on a jet engine and the efficiency of the current afterburner design. It also provided an insight on ways to modify and improve the subsequent afterburner designs for obtaining even higher efficiencies.

8. An Efficient Phase Fault Monitoring System for Distribution Transformers
Epemu A. M., Enalume K. O.
Abstract
This paper present a system of monitoring the phase of distribution transformers to determine if the Johnson & Phillips (J&P) fuse is blown or not. Blown fuses are common with distribution transformers to protect the transformer itself from being faulty. When a phase is overloaded the fuse gives way to protect the transformer. However, this fault should be promptly reported and localized so that power can be quickly restored to the phase. It was against this backdrop that this system was developed. It checks the phase of the transformer, with particular reference to the fuse of each phase to determine whether it is open or closed. If the system detects a blown fuse, the PIC18F4585 microcontroller will activate the buzzer and the SIM900A GSM module, to send a pre-programmed message indicating the location of the fault to the utility provider. The state of the blown fuse detector circuit will also be displayed on the LCD. Thus reducing the downtime that is associated with such faults from the manual system of reporting currently practised in Nigeria. The circuit was constructed and tested by putting OFF the switch used to represent each phase of the distribution transformer feeder-pillar. When the switch was in the OFF state, the buzzer came up and an SMS was sent to the electricity distribution company to notify them of a failed phase in the distribution transformer feeder-pillar.
