Waste heat of a brick kiln – an opportunity of power generation

Brick kiln contributes a significant role on social development and infrastructure of a country. The temperature in the furnace of a brick kiln is around 1000oC and around 800-850oC in the firing zone during the brick production. There is huge amount of heat waste through flue gas, kiln wall, earth and radiation during this brick production process. A conceptual module is proposed to use of waste heat of a brick kiln and produce power through steam power plant. The study shows that there are 68%, 63% and 75% of waste heat based on the use of coal, natural gas and fire wood as fuel respectively. It reflects from this investigation that 40% of the total heat input and rest 60% of heat of the flue gas after burning the green bricks is sufficient to generate steam at temperature of 400oC with a pressure of 2.6 MPa by using the waste heat boiler. The rated pressure and temperature is capable of producing 1 MW power from each brick kiln. It also highlighted that Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is much better option over the Rankine Cycle for the waste heat boiler and ultimately for power generation. Consequently, the challenges of this conceptual module are also discussed. Practical implantation of power plant for power generation from the waste heat of brick kiln should make significant impact on traditional power generation system as there are 100,000 brick kilns around the globe

Design and implementation of voice Command-Based robotic system

This project is designed to control a robotic vehicle by voice commands and manual control for remote operation. For detecting the signals provided through any mobile application, an ATMEGA32 microcontroller is employed in conjunction with a Bluetooth connection that is linked to a control module. The Bluetooth receiver connected to the Arduino receives serial data delivered from mobile application. We will deliberate how to control robot-controlled car using Wi-Fi module through android application of an android mobile. It provides control commands over Bluetooth that include managing the motor’s pace, detecting, and exchanging data with mobile regarding the robot’s direction as well as range from the closest barrier

Study on Advanced Image Processing Techniques for Remote Sensor Data Analysis

Image processing is the act of altering photographs with arithmetic computations for a variety of objectives including erasing clean lines, dividing groups of objects, noise removal from photos, detecting edges, and so on. Remote sensing is a method for observing the planet's surface or environment through satellites or from the air (via airplanes). Electromagnetic radiation reflected or radiated by the earth's surface is recorded using this approach. Numerous techniques and technologies can be used in remote sensing to monitor electromagnetic waves of different wave lengths, including visual, infrared, heat infrared, and so forth. In this study, digital cameras are utilized to acquire photos in the visible range and then used advanced image processing and filtering algorithms to the raw data. Homomorphic filtering, median filtering, Gaussian filtering, histogram-based thresholding, contrast stretching, and other techniques are used. The results of this research will be valuable for enhanced picture analysis
