INTRODUCTION
This paper deals with one of the key challenges in designing the next generation future hybrid vehicles with Efficient Waste Heat Recovery System.
Much of the fuel energy in an internal combustion engine is lost as heat, mainly through hot exhaust gas. The high energy losses,
Objective :
As the need for green energy is increasing the use of hybrid vehicles has to be encouraged. This project accomplishes the task of increasing the range of hybrid vehicle which was the major problem encountered in these vehicles.
The aim of this project is to ease the travelling and movement of blind people. It can be done in the following ways:
The blind can book a cab easily from wherever they want & without the help of any other people through voice.
The purpose of this invention is to improve the quality of life of working people. My idea is of an electric kettle combined with the qualities of a blender and refrigerator. This design will be very helpful for tourists.
This invention relates to cooling devices which maintain the correct operating temperature for computer processors. The devices use the relatively new FASTT technology to enable high flux cooling of processor chips without the use of liquids.
