Design of a working model of an upper limb prosthesis: wrist mechanism
No full textThis thesis demonstrates a new design for an upper limb prosthetic wrist that gives 3 independent degrees of freedom (DOFs) through individual mechanisms. A human wrist has 3 degrees of freedom i.e. Flexion-Extension, Radial- Ulnar deviation and Pronation-Supination. The upper limb prostheses that are currently available in the market generally provide 1 (usually Pronation- Supination) or at most 2 degrees of freedom, which is not su cient for daily life. For this thesis, a new wrist having all the 3 DOFs was designed in the SolidWorks software, a prototype was 3D printed and a basic analysis of the mechanical properties of the model through SolidWorks simulation was carried out. The prototype mechanisms were then connected to servo motors, with potentiometers as their inputs, that were programmed through an arduino and were tested to see if they work as expected. Faithful recreation of the wrist motions was achieved and the range of motion (ROM) of this prosthesis was similar to the ROM of an actual human wrist. This thesis also looks at the other prostheses that are available in the market or are under development and their limitations are discussed. The goal of this thesis is to present a design of an upper limb prosthesis which addresses some of the limitations while also encouraging further research and development in this eld and will hopefully result in more people with amputations choosing to use prosthetics in their daily lives.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Sahil Vikas Dang
Measurement of the residence time distribution of FCC catalyst in rotary kilns
No full textContinuous rotary kilns are among the most widely used solid handling equipment for industrial applications such as drying, incineration, mixing, pre-heating, humidification, calcining, and gas-solid reactions. Longer residence times prove beneficial in ensuring that all particles have been treated sufficiently, but this can lead to large material and energy costs. As a result, efficient calcination will require shorter residence time and lower axial dispersion. The purpose of this research is to contribute towards a better understanding of these mass transfer mechanisms in rotary kilns, using industrially relevant equipment and operating conditions directed towards large-scale catalyst manufacturing. In this work, the residence time distribution and axial dispersion coefficient for a free flowing fluid cracking catalyst (FCC) powder is measured in pilot-scale kilns using a tracer study developed by Danckwerts (1952). The tracer study was used to determine residence time distributions for different sets of operating parameters, which were successfully matched to the Taylor fit of the axial dispersion model and the Sullivan prediction for mean residence time. It was found that the mean residence time and axial dispersion coefficient varied inversely with rotary speed of the kiln. The bed depths corresponding to respective flow regimes in such a calcination system were not previously reported. The predictive models showed accuracy for the system considered, even at fill levels <1% which was not the case in previously reported studies with cohesive powders.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Sahil Suleman Navodi
