The use of a highly portable and efficient solar tracker can be very useful to applications of the industrial, or residential variety. To produce an efficient solar generation system, a scaled-down dual-axis solar tracker was designed, built, and tested. Our project aims at enhancing the efficiency of the conventional PV energy production system by keeping the solar PV panel perpendicular to the sun throughout the year. Based on the incident light reading of a light-sensing sensor, one horizontal and one vertical motor will be made to move so that the panel is brought to a position where it receives the highest irradiance.

The use of a highly efficient heat pipe arrangement can be very useful to applications of the industrial, or personal variety. To produce an efficient electronic cooling system, a heat pipe was designed, built, and tested. Also, limitations and improvements are listed to provide a space for future upgrades. This project aims at the fabrication and design of a deeply grooved heat pipe for the particular application of processor cooling. The project is aimed to develop an efficient liquid cooling arrangement for the aforementioned purpose.

A gasket is a mechanical seal that fills the space between two or more mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression. Different types of flange faces are used as the contact surface to seat the sealing gasket materials. We observed a Flat Face (FF) gasket under different loading conditions. The major functions of the gasket are to create a seal between two other surfaces. For example, pipe gaskets are used to create a seal between two pieces of pipe in a pipeline. The exact function of a gasket in this respect is to prevent the escape of fluids (liquids or gases) even at extreme pressure and temperature. Yet the function of a gasket is not only to provide a seal to prevent fluids escaping, but it is also an important safety device. In this respect, it is important for the gasket to be the weakest component of the sealing system so that it fails in response to a problem. If the gasket does not fail in response to a build-in pressure then the consequence is the potential bursting of the pipe or explosion. The properties of a gasket are typically those of the material out of which it is manufactured. Gaskets are commonly made of flexible materials such as rubber, paper, or cork. It is also possible to find gaskets made of metal. That’s why, we performed our analysis for both, rubber and structural steel(metal). We aimed to observe –
