Optimum Design and Analysis of a Composite Drive Shaft for an Automobile: Substituting composite structures for conventional metallic structures has many advantages because of higher specific stiffness and strength of composite materials. This work deals with the replacement of conventional two-piece steel drive shafts with a single-piece e-glass/ epoxy, high strength carbon/epoxy and high modulus carbon/epoxy composite drive shaft for an automotive application. The design parameters were optimized with the objective of minimizing the weight of composite drive shaft. The design optimization...

Diesel engines play a substantial part in almost all energy-related areas, especially in the transportation and power generation sectors. They are one of the most efficient prime movers with high thermal efficiency and durability. Despite these advantages, they have a serious downside, which is the higher exhaust emission.Because of the lavish consumption and continuous usage, the fossil reserves are getting depleted rapidly. These issues and the ever-increasing price of crude oil have forced the world nations to look for alternate energy resources. Even though a lot of alternative fuel shave...

The environmental justice movements' deconstructions of traditional environmentalism's approach to ecological justice have led to discussions about whether traditional philosophical theories can be the best way to bring philosophy to environmental questions. Environmental justice movements have been critical of the traditional environmentalism's narrow understanding of ecological justice merely in terms of equity and calls for much more than just distribution. Simultaneously due to the increasing threats of global warming and environmental degradation, development scientists and political...
