Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework for designing a multiple performance measurement tool for evaluating, comparing and benchmarking the working of engineering educational institutes in a group based on total quality management (TQM) criteria and performance measurement criterion, respectively. Design/methodology/approach Proposed framework is based on fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) which takes in to account the fuzziness of human opinion for realistic outcome and generalization of the results. Based on the proposed framework a case study was conducted on engineering institutes of central India for collecting data and analyzing the current practices followed in these institutes. A relationship among TQM implementation criterion was developed, their respective weights derived and then institutes were ranked. Findings It was found that the rank of institutions based on both the criterion is same, which indicates that the institutes having better TQM implementation have better performance. Research limitations/implications The research in this paper is limited to Indian scenario; studies in other countries and sectors may be conducted to compare the results obtained. Practical implications The results will help policy makers in identifying institutions having poor performance in the region. Originality/value The paper is navel in its attempt to provide a model based on TQM criteria for evaluating the working of engineering educational institutes in a group in terms of their relative weightage and benchmark.

Camshaft is one of the key parts or components in the engines

Closed loop pulsating heat pipe is very effective tool for removal of heat from very small electronic devices. In this study various literature related to CLPHP are studied and various parameters that effect the performance of CLPHP. It was found from literature that length of pipe, Number of turns, cooling fluid effect the performance of pipe.

The development of high-performance thermal systems has increased interest in heat transfer enhancement techniques. The high thermal performance enhancement of heat exchanger systems is needed to use energy source efficiently due to the sky-rocketing prices of petroleum and coal fuels. Heat exchangers are widely used in industry both for cooling and heating. Insertion of turbulators in the flow passage is one of the favorable passive heat transfer augmentation techniques due to their advantages of easy fabrication, operation as well as low maintenance. The purpose of this review presents the effect of twisted tape turbulators on the heat transfer enhancement, pressure drop, flow friction and thermal performance factor characteristics in a heat exchanger tube. The twisted tape turbulator is a device for increasing the heat transfer rate in the heat exchanger system. The widely employed in several industrial and engineering applications of heat exchanger are automobile, refrigerators, solar collector, heat engine, air conditions, thermal power plant, electronic cooling, milk plant, chemical process industries etc. heat transfer enhancement using different type of the turbulators placed in the tube has been extensively studied for the past decade among the both passive and active technique are compile in this review.

To synthesize the surface of the metal bodies, a thermal spray coating is used. There is a great need for this new coating technology in today's progressive world where modification of the substrate material is carried out a great deal. Thermal spray covering, electroplating, powder metallurgy and other metallurgical processes are used very quickly in the field of surface modification. We have presented the summary of all different types of thermal spray coating in this review paper and the advantages of high-speed oxy fuel coating. There is a literature review and an experiment was conducted on behalf of that to demonstrate the effect of coating on mild steel plate. Through Robot, we present a proposed optimization of the spraying process in a thermal power plant. We will explore the thermal spraying and oxidation effect on deposited aluminium and bronze in this research work. We present a detailed assessment of the robot kinematics and optimize the generation of the robot trajectory with a focus on the constant relative scanning speed.The results show that the motion behavior of each axis of robot permits to identify the motion problems in the trajectory. This approach enables the generation of robot trajectories in a limited working envelope to be optimised.
