Multi component fault diagnosis of rotational mechanical system based on decision tree and support vector machine

Abstract: The shaft and bearing are the most critical components in rotating machinery. Majority of problems arise from faulty bearings in turn affect the shaft. The vibration signals are widely used to determine the condition of machine elements. The vibration signals are used to extract the features to identify the status of a machine. This paper presents the use of c-SVC and nu-SVC models of support vector machine (SVM) with four kernel functions for classification of faults using statistical features extracted from vibration signals under good and faulty conditions of rotational mechanical system. Decision tree algorithm was used to select the prominent features. These features were given as inputs for training and testing the c-SVC and nu-SVC model of SVM and their fault classification accuracies were compared.

A review on various after treatment techniques to reduce NOx emissions in a CI engine

Abstract: NOx emissions have always been a main concern in the development of diesel engines. This paper summarizes the studies about NOx emission reduction in diesel engines. The need for meeting the stringent requirements with regard to NOx emissions in a diesel engine has led to the development of a range of after treatment techniques. After treatment methods are required to reduce NOx emissions that cannot be controlled by fuel composition and combustion phenomena. Current after treatment techniques that are being employed are Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), Lean NOx Trap (LNT) and SCR Filter (SCRF). The benefits and constraints of different types of SCR are discussed. Urea SCR is a prominent well proven technology. Urea SCR produces 96–99% conversion efficiency with the help of a reductant NH 3 . The operating parameters such as nature of catalyst, temperature range of catalyst, flow of DEF (Diesel Exhaust fluid) to injector and mixing of NH 3 and NOx are discussed. Hybrid SCR such as Cu-SCR + Fe-SCR, SCR + LNT moderates fuel consumption and augments the catalytic activity at low temperature. SCRF has low cell density (200–300 csi vs 400–600 csi for SCR), and also has lower deNOx efficiency for a number of reasons. Pre-stored NH 3 and Preheating helps in low temperature reaction of SCRF. Technical problems in aqueous urea systems have led to the evolution of solid SCR system (SSCR). This review incorporates the study of solid ammonium salts decomposition, temperature range of the salts and infrastructure required for SSCR.
