Full textAbstract:
Cashew industry is a prominent agro based, export oriented and traditional industry which provides employment and income for the economic development of Kerala. There are lakhs of workers engaged in the cashew processing industry; about ninety four percent are women workers. The performance of cashew in the international scenario reveals the position with which the cashew holds among the agricultural commodities. India is the first country which commercialized cashew as a horticultural crop. India’s raw nut production is not sufficient to sustain the processing capacity established in the country. The low yielding cashew plants of senile and non-descript origin need to be replaced with cashew grafts of high yielding varieties along with adoption of improved production technologies. Higher productivity as well as production is the urgent need for all the major producers of cashew across the globe. The scrutiny of cashew productivity data in India over the last few years indicated stagnation and there was a wide gap existing between the actual and potential yields. It is essential that India should keep pace and meet the requirement of raw cashew nuts for cashew processing industries and achieve self sufficiency. The present paper examines the performance of cashew sector in terms of area, production and productivity in India and Kerala.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Cashew nut farming in India is mostly carried out in small and marginal holdings. Energy consumption in the small scale cashew nut processing industry is very high and is mainly due to the high energy consumption of the drying process. The drying operation provides a lot of scope for energy saving and substitutions of other renewable energy sources. Renewable energy-based drying systems with loading capacity of 40 kg were proposed for application in small scale cashew nut processing industries. The main objective of this work is to perform economic feasibility of substituting solar, biomass and hybrid dryer in place of conventional steam drying for cashew drying. Four economic indicators were used to assess the feasibility of three renewable based drying technologies. The payback time was 1.58 yr. for solar, 1.32 for biomass and 1.99 for the hybrid drying system, whereas as the cost-benefit estimates were 5.23 for solar, 4.15 for biomass and 3.32 for the hybrid system. It was found that it is of paramount importance to develop solar biomass hybrid dryer for small scale processing industries.

Full textAbstract:
In 2003 and 2004, leaves and young fruits of cashew nut plants showing an undescribed disease symptom were observed on plants of an early-dwarf clone in a commercial orchard in Ceará and Piauí states in northeastern Brazil. Initial symptoms consisted of angular, water-soaked, dark-to-black spots on the leaf and at the mid-rib vein surrounding the leaf veins. Eventually, lesions also extended from the mid-rib to the secondary veins, delineating the vein system of the leaf. In young, green fruits, symptoms were large, dark, oily spots surrounded by conspicuous water-soaked areas. A yellow-pigmented colony was consistently recovered from the lesions on nutrient yeast-extract dextrose agar medium (3 g of meat extract, 5 g of peptone, 10 g of dextrose, 5 g of yeast extract, and 18 g of agar per liter). Physiological tests revealed colonies that were gram negative, strictly aerobic, oxidase negative, catalase positive, lacking fluorescent pigmentation on King's B medium, urea hydrolase negative, and able to grow on yeast dextrose calcium carbonate medium yielding yellow colonies. These tests indicated that the bacterium belonged to the genus Xanthomonas. PCR amplification of bacterial DNA using RST2 (1) and Xcv3R (3) primers resulted in identical band patterns to mango isolates Xanthomonas campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of PCR-amplified products of six isolates of X. campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae was conducted with HaeIII and showed different profile patterns on agarose gel, indicating genetic variability among these isolates. Pathogenicity was demonstrated by gently piercing and misting cashew leaves with a bacterial suspension adjusted to 106 CFU/ml. Inoculated plants were enclosed in plastic bags for 24 h and then incubated in a greenhouse (29 ± 1°C). Control plants were misted with sterile water and treated the same way. After 8 days, foliar symptoms similar to those observed in the field developed on all inoculated plants, and reisolated bacteria were characterized and found to be X. campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae. Control plants remained symptomless. To our knowledge, this is the first description of commercially grown cashew plants as host to X. campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae in Brazil. This disease may pose a serious problem to the cashew-growing industry in Brazil. This bacterial pathogen has been reported on mangoes (Mangifera indica) and cashew in India (2) under the former name of Pseudomonas mangiferae-indicae. References: (1) R. P. Leite, Jr. et al. Appl.

Full textAbstract:
The energy and mass flow of the steam cooking operation of three readily defined small-scale cashew processing industries was studied to estimate the availability of cashew nut shell. The proximate analysis of cashew shell waste was carried out using ASTMD 73–75 method. The calorific value of the cashew shell was carried out using bomb calorimeter (ASTME 711). The thermogravimetric analysis of the cashew shell was carried out using TG-FTIR with 10∘C/minute heating rate. The study revealed that, the small-scale cashew processing industries followed steam-cooking process with average energy consumption accounted to be 2969.7 MJ per 1000 kg of raw cashew seed. The cashew shell waste generated in small-scale cashew processing industries was found to be 67.5% of total weight of cashew seed, which can be utilized as fuel for thermal energy supply. The average higher calorific value of the cashew nut shell was found to be 4890 kcal/kg. The thermogravimetric analysis revealed that 85% weight of cashew nut shell has been degraded at 500∘C and in 13 minutes. The availability and fuel analysis of the cashew shell as a fuel revealed its suitability as a supplementary fuel for thermal application through pyrolysis in the industry.

AbstractThe amount of waste generated in cashew nut processing factories has caused serious problems for a long time. However, this situation is about to change because they are being turned into an opportunity by a variety of bio-based chemicals. Todate, cashew nut shells (CNS) have proven to be among the most versatile renewable resource as they produce cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). CNSL which is a dark reddish brown viscous liquid (ca. 30–35 wt%) is extracted from the soft honeycomb of the CNS. The shells have been regarded as a by-product of the cashew industry though now it is a cheaper source of natural unsaturated phenols. CNSL offers a multitude of interesting possibilities for the synthesis of speciality chemicals, high value products and polymers. Our recent research efforts have demonstrated that its constituents can be transformed into diverse functional chemicals. This paper reports some key results on how cashew nut shells (an agro waste from cashew nut processing factories) have been employed to produce several functional materials and chemicals. The materials that are highlighted include the synthesis of 3-propylphenol from cardanol and anacardic acid, some polymers prepared from CNSL components, heterogeneous catalysts prepared using CNSL as a templating agent and anacardic acid capped chalcogenide nanoparticles.

The choice of an environmental strategy by a firm must consider a set of variables, among them, whether a firm approaches its environmental issues through out a specific environmental management system or an integrated one. Therefore, this work aims to study the performance of two management systems â a specific environmental system based on the ISO 14001 and an integrated one based on the Total Loss Control â that are running simultaneously in a processing plant of cashew nuts in the State of CearÃ, Brazil. Based on the main models of environmental strategies â Shrivastava, Hart, Heinhardt, Sharma and Stead & Stead â we identify which strategies the industry adopts to solve its environmental problems. Analyzing the principles and elements that constitute each system, we point out structural similarities and differences among them. Finally, by applying a semi-structurated questionnaire to the managers responsible for the systems, we evaluate, using a Likert scale, which system was more appropriated to reach the environmental goals of the firm. We found that the specific system showed the highest avarage ponctuation according to the managerâs opinions. Therefore, we can conclude that the specific environmental system was better than the integrated system for dealing which the environmental issues in the cashew nut industry.

This paper wishes to study the visitors' outlook & evaluation of a tourist place as experienced by them. We have selected Bishnupur in West Bengal, India as our sample sight. Our study reveals that opinion about Bishnupur as a tourist destination is negatively related with the problems & positively with the advantages. Socio economic factors such as occupation, caste as well as sub situational variables such as number of visits, reason for visit are important. In all Bishnupur is not a very attractive place as a tourist center even within the state. Given that Bishnupur has a long cultural history as well as cited in the official tourist website, the issue is alarming. The Government has started a number of initiatives (such a Bishnupur mela, renovation of the temple structure of Bishnupur & so on) to facilitated the place & make it attractive to the tourists. Our analysis show that there is a lot yet to done to bring up Bishnupur in the tourist center of the state, not to speak the Indian perspective.

Monginis was started in 1970 at Chembur, Mumbai, India, with just one store. The franchise model that it pioneered in the industry embraced some real-time practices of human development that were carefully captured through the recruitment strategy, job engagement, training, positive work environment, along with strategic practice of embracing local taste in product that has summoned success. How will Monginis reach out to every Indian? While the franchise model has led to expansion and growth, the company does not wish to sit idly on past laurels, but how should it move ahead? This is an updated case study that touches upon two additional dimensions: 1) getting children to bake a cake program and 2) training intervention and buddy support to the franchisee team.

In the year 2012, a generation ago in digital technology, the person who generated the most internet searches in India was not a cricketer or a Bollywood star. Nor was it a politician or a religious figure. None of them were close. The person most Indians were curious about that year—as measured by the total number of Google searches—was Canadian-Indian Karenjit Kaur Vohra, a.k.a. Sunny Leone, a former porn star and Penthouse Pet of the Year. It wasn’t the case only in 2012. As hundreds of millions of Indians continued to discover the internet through 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and even 2017, Sunny Leone remained the most-searched-for person in India. People simply couldn’t get enough. (Prime Minister Narendra Modi made it to number two in 2014, the year he was elected, but Leone remained the clear favorite.) Prudish, conservative, family-values India . . . and a porn star? Leone was no longer even performing; she had stopped around 2010 and started her own production company with her husband and manager, Daniel Weber. In 2011, she came to India as a guest on the reality TV show Bigg Boss, a local version of the Big Brother franchise. Leone’s appearance was predictably controversial (by design, of course: it was good for the ratings). Although most Indians hadn’t heard of her, it didn’t take long for word to spread: “A porn star—from America—here in India?” At the time, parliamentarian Anurag Thakur complained to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, arguing that Leone’s presence on a nationally telecast program would “have a negative impact on the mindset of children.” Thakur added: “When children see these porn stars on TV and then do a Google search, it shows a vulgar site. It will have a bad impact in the long run.” There were no laws, however, to stop Leone from appearing on TV. While the production of pornography was officially illegal in India, Leone could justifiably argue she was no longer involved in the industry. She was trying to pivot to general entertainment.

The adoption of information communication technologies (ICT) in rural regions of Gujarat by the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Limited (GCMMFL) can be considered as an iconic practice in the dairy industry in India. It is typically assumed that the efforts associated with the investment of ICT in rural area are not as effective as expected, though in the case of Amul, it was proved otherwise. Amul is a dairy farming company that produces a variety of milk products and GCMMF takes responsibility of distributing and marketing of the products of it. Amul has been a forerunner of rural India's adoption of ICT in dairy industry. This chapter shares the success story of Amul and how they utilized ICT in the dairy industry. The application of IT enabled Amul to get better control for the accumulated milk from scattered suppliers. The Amul case is a prime example for the enabling role of the technology for innovation.

When rank-and-file IT professionals and their industry and knowledge leaders were invited to reflect on their views and experiences with caste in the merit construction process, the conversations became passionately vocal, sometimes even strident and combative, taking on tones of a metaphorical ‘blood sport’ pitting the Merit Camp against the Caste Camp. There was consensus on the small Dalit footprint and founder effect in Indian IT, but the explanations for the same were drastically different. To the Merit camp, the business and functional imperatives of a transnational IT sector required that they use EEO policies and not the caste-reservation quotas while the Caste camp countered that business imperatives have turned discriminatory and reinforced casteism in Indian IT. There is a stalemate in the Merit-Caste debate.

The corona pandemic is unique in its own way of creating impact on lives of people across the globe. It has affected the women entrepreneurs disproportionately as they had to fight on two fronts – business and family. However, they showed resilience and pivoted their business approaches to withstand the pandemic crisis. The authors discussed with experts from academics and industry and referred to secondary sources to identify the cases of women entrepreneurs whose responses to the crisis reportedly appeared to be counter intuitive in context of India. The chapter captured and analyzed their responses to the crisis from secondary sources. The chapter concludes that women entrepreneurs' responses do not endorse the gendered dichotomy with respect to risk-reduction and seizing the opportunity. The women entrepreneurs were very much receptive to adopt information technology and well-intended to seize the opportunity during the pandemic crisis. The chapter contributes by providing new insights about women entrepreneurship contextualized in India, an emerging market.

Full textAbstract:
Information technology is being perceived as the magical wand and the harbinger of prosperity as it can guarantee access to global markets and enable direct foreign investment and e-commerce. Several projects aim at bringing information technologies to India with a belief in the transforming potential of IT. However, these technologies have created a digital and gender divide. In this article, attempts have been made to look into the digital divide and the constraints that women share by gender specifically in India. India is a multilateral, multilingual, and multireligious society with many subdivides based on region, ethnic groups, class, and caste. The digital divide and gender has become yet another component of this diversity. In India, women comprise 14% of the IT industry and 26% of the business processing outsourcing (BPO) workforce. The total workforce of IT and BPO is made up of approximately 70 million people (http://www.ciol.com). At the lower experience level (about 3 years), about 19% of the workforce comprises women. At senior levels, women constitute less than 6% of the workforce (http://www.dqqindia.com). This indicates that few manage to reach the top level, and the majority of them remain at lower levels as computer or data-entry operators. The gender gap in the digital divide is of great concern as it is directly linked to socioeconomic development. A major developmental issue of the coming decades will be the access and use of IT (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, 1989). Policy makers of both industrial and developing countries have agreed that IT is one of the fastest growing industries and is likely to be the largest by the turn of the century (Kraemer, 1994). Hence, if women are not actively present at all levels in this growing industry, then we would see marginalization that could undermine the advances made by women in other fields in the 20th century.

Full textAbstract:
A paradigm shift has occurred in the concepts of marketing from the production concept to the societal concept. A prominent concept today is the customer concept, which aims to build loyalty and lifetime value by creating, maintaining, and enhancing relationships with the customer by addressing individual customer needs. Relationship marketing is a bifurcation from the customer concept, which seeks to earn and retain long-term preferences, business, and ultimately, a marketing network. In relationship marketing, both parties collaborate on identifying needs to fulfill. Immediate sales are not of prime concern in this model. Organizations should understand the fact of when–and how–to use relationship marketing. The five R’s of Relationship Marketing are Relationship, Realization, Response, Relevance, & Respect. This case study addresses relationship marketing focusing on a service industry (i.e. Insurance Industry). A Sales representative needs to bond well with all his clients in order to be able to meet their expectations as required. Therefore, an employee with good PR skills is sure to climb the ladder of success. The protagonist in the case study, Mr. Sahil Sharma, an Employee of AFRO-INDIA Insurance Ltd., guides and trains his entire team to build, maintain, and enhance their relationship with their clients. This will not only make the clients loyal to the organization, but also will also make them brand ambassadors through word of mouth.

The decision making process for shipbreaking is complicated and is dependent on multiple factors. However, due to the vastly unorganized nature of shipbreaking industry in major shipbreaking locations, there is little work done to the best of the authors' knowledge, wherein these factors are mapped, weighed and integrated in the form of a comprehensive decision making framework. In recent years, although there have been significant efforts by researchers to capture the process of shipbreaking and recycling in literature, a comprehensive decision support system that encapsulates the multiple criteria for shipbreaking in a quantifiable form, is yet to be developed. This paper attempts to bridge this gap, by formulating a decision making framework, particularly for selecting the shipbreaking facility and the extent of recycling subsequent to ship disassembly, using AHP methodology. The framework considers the relevant factors, and is useful not only for shipping companies and cash brokers for decision making, but also provides insights vis-à-vis the migrating pattern of shipbreaking industry, particularly from Indian subcontinent to China, as observed in the contemporary business environment.

Full textAbstract:
The responsibility for managing an asset safely, efficiently and to optimize productivity lies solely with the pipeline operators. To achieve these objectives, operators are implementing comprehensive pipeline integrity management programs. These programs may be driven by a country’s pipeline regulator or in many cases may be “self-directed” by the pipeline operator especially in countries where pipeline regulators do not exist. A critical aspect of an operator’s Integrity Management Plan (IMP) is to evaluate the history, limitations and the key threats for each pipeline and accordingly select the most appropriate integrity tool. The guidelines for assessing piggable lines has been well documented but until recently there was not much awareness for assessment of non-piggable pipelines. A lot of these non-piggable pipelines transverse through high consequence areas and usually minimal historic records are available for these lines. To add to the risk factor, usually these lines also lack any baseline assessment. The US regulators, that is Office of Pipeline Safety had recognized the need for establishment of codes and standards for integrity assessment of all pipelines more than a decade ago. This led to comprehensive mandatory rules, standards and codes for the US pipeline operators to follow regardless of the line being piggable or non-piggable. In India the story has been a bit different. In the past few years, our governing body for development of self-regulatory standards for the Indian oil and gas industry that is Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) recognized a need for development of a standard specifically for integrity assessment of non-piggable pipelines. The standard was formalized and accepted by the Indian Ministry of Petroleum in September 2013 as OISD 233. OISD 233 standard is based on assessing the time dependent threats of External Corrosion (EC) and Internal Corrosion (IC) through applying the non-intrusive techniques of “Direct Assessment”. The four-step, iterative DA (ECDA, ICDA and SCCDA) process requires the integration of data from available line histories, multiple indirect field surveys, direct examination and the subsequent post assessment of the documented results. This paper presents the case study where the Indian pipeline operators took a self-initiative and implemented DA programs for prioritizing the integrity assessment of their most critical non-piggable pipelines even before the OISD 233 standard was established. The paper also looks into the relevance of the standard to the events and other case studies following the release of OISD 233.

Full textAbstract:
Successful demonstration of safety of aircraft engines during extreme events such as Foreign Object Damage and Containment are mandatory for FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) certification. According to FAA every engine has to undergo fan blade out tests and engine has to contain this event without leading to major hazard to aircraft and loss of life. The fan blade out containment test involves the intentional release of a fan blade when the engine is running at full power. The released blade must not pierce or fracture the engine cases during the impact and which in turn can cause damage to the aircraft. The current trend in the industry is to minimize tests through analytical simulations and demonstrate compliance to regulations and flight-safety requirements. Accurate simulations of such events save significant effort, time and cost. This paper presents the various simulation techniques to demonstrate fan case containment when subjected to fan blade out event. The modeling is carried out with simplifications and assumptions to minimize problem size and maximizing the accuracy in simulation. Various simulation techniques analyzed in this study are used to assess the modeling approach and parameters influence on the event simulation. The effect of rotor imbalance on blade failure and blade kinetic energy are also studied in this paper. LS-DYNA has the capability to perform implicit and explicit methods which is used to analyze the blade out event in this study.

Contaminants such as CO2, H2S and O2 in water-wet liquid and gas pipelines create an aggressive environment conducive to facilitating internal corrosion. During pipeline operations, solids deposition, water accumulation, bacterial activities and improper chemical inhibition aggravate the internal corrosion attack. For assessing the threat of internal corrosion, the petroleum industry currently has only three integrity validation tools at its disposal. These are Pressure Testing, In-line Inspection (ILI) and Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (ICDA). To enhance pipeline integrity for piggable and non-piggable pipelines, NACE International has developed and published a variety of industry consensus Standard Practices for the ICDA protocols to predict time-dependent internal corrosion threats for various petroleum products in both offshore and onshore under sweet or sour environments. These NACE International ICDA Standards include: • SP0206-2006 “ICDA Methodology for Pipelines Carrying Normally Dry Natural Gas (DG-ICDA)”[1] • SP0208-2008 “ICDA Methodology for Liquid Petroleum Pipelines (LP-ICDA)”[2] • SP0110-2010 “Wet Gas ICDA Methodology for Pipelines (WG-ICDA)”[3] • Multiphase flow (MP-ICDA) is under development with TG-426 and will be released in 2013. • Process Piping (PP-ECDA, Above Ground) is in its early stages of development with the release not likely before 2015. • Process Piping (PP-ECDA, Buried) is in its early stages of development with the release not likely before 2015. • Process Piping (PP-ICDA) for various service environments is in its early stages of development with the release not likely before 2015. All ICDA protocols are a structured, iterative integrity assessment process, consisting of the following four steps: Preassessment, Indirect Inspection, Detailed Examination and Postassessment. Most importantly, unlike ILI and pressure testing, all the ICDA standards require a mandatory root cause analysis and a go forward mitigation plan to arrest the corrosion processes being encountered. This paper reviews the following case studies: LP-ICDA for a crude oil pipeline and WG-ICDA for a high pressure gas pipeline with free water and condensate. ICDA is applicable for dry gas systems too but due to limiting length of this paper, the dry gas case study is not detailed. This paper will be useful for the pipeline operators to provide guidance in identifying locations at which corrosion activity has occurred, is occurring, or may likely occur in the future under a series of pre-defined operating conditions.

In ASME 2019 Gas Turbine India Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/gtindia2019-2388.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Many of the large components of modern gas turbines are cast, resulting in rough surface profiles, which have to be machined to achieve the component’s final state. As there are high deviations in casting components, the real geometry does not meet the ideal model dimensions and is known neither to the supplier nor to the customer. While manual 3D-scanning processes, heavily depending on the operator’s qualification, get more attention, conventional means are still the basis for quality assurance of such parts. Although significant time reduction can be reached by automated scanning, there is still a low variety of corresponding applications for large components on the market. Flexible systems are an approach for further development as most of the manufacturers handling large components already have and use machine tools for the processing of their components. The designed and implemented prototypical system allows the acquisition of a large component’s surface with only a few manual inputs prior to the actual scanning procedure. It can be used with existing machining tools, allowing an easy implementation for different use cases of a pre-manufacturing scan, e.g. for CAM planning. The application is implemented in a small software tool that can be adapted to other machines with low effort. The implementation has been demonstrated in a real manufacturing environment with typical environmental conditions in the shop floor. The prototypical application has been built mainly with existing components. Following the V-Model, each domain has been investigated individually followed by a complete system investigation. With a system price below 100.000€ the price is below 10% of most automated systems on the market. The presented cost efficient, low complexity prototypical system can provide early information about the product for a digital process chain in industry 4.0, enabling flexible, intuitive and easy integration.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The oil and gas industry in Nigeria is undergoing rapid change and explosive growth especially for marginal oil fields. Marginal oil fields operators are indigenous companies with limited profitability and some operators embrace outsourcing in their operations. Furthermore, outsourcing is process in which a company contract with another company to manage service that it does not want to provide by itself. The study examined the effect of outsourcing on marginal field operations. Using literature review and case study in India, Egypt and Malaysia by marginal field operators it is observed that outsourcing has positively contributed to delivery of marginal field project. Outsourcing is beneficial because it allows companies to reduce their fixed asset costs. Outsourcing in form of alliance between indigenous and foreign companies would enhance the credibility of the indigenous companies and stimulate capacity building in terms of knowledge and technology transfer. It is recommended that for effective outsourcing there should be a clear legal frame work.

Full textAbstract:
Smart pigs, also known as inline inspection (ILI) tools or intelligent pigs, are electronic devices designed to flow on the inside of a gas transmission pipeline, usually while the line is in service, to inspect a pipeline for various types of anomalies that can increase the risks of pipeline failure. This paper describes various problems faced on in service pigging in gas pipelines even after getting data by typical pipeline questionnaire as per NACE RP0102. Problems and solution starting from Launching, crossing SV stations, tap off Point flow tees and Receiving at Pig Receiver including data retrieval from smart pig. First of all, different segment thickness and anomalies of entire length of pipeline will be studied before launch of the tool, because this is important input in ILI tool design in terms of OD and percentage flexibility of pig while run. API 1163 will considered as a master standard for smart pig applications in pipelines. Smart pigging is done once in 10 years interval as per Indian regulation and data recorded in this inspection is important risk assessment input in Pipeline Integrity Management and for deciding life of pipeline. This paper describes various problem faced in pigging i.e. Pig struck before Launching in Launcher, Pig struck at Sectionalization Valve station, Pig stopped in Pipeline without any reason, Pig struck at Flow Tee before Receiver, Pig barrel opening a Hazardous activity, Failure of Data retrieval from smart pig after receiving, Re-run of smart pig and how fluctuating flow rates in different region of pipelines will affect running a pig. This paper deals pig retrieval methods used in different struck ups and various aspects to be considered while planning to run a smart pig. This paper also deals problem faced i.e. magnetized pipe and difficulty in welding after retrieving struck up pigs by hot tapping and stoppling methods and how it was solved. Smart pigging, when properly applied, can serve as a superior inspection tool for many risks of concern over other integrity inspection methods. A proper smart pigging program can play a vital role in integrity management (“IM”) and smooth operation of pipeline without any flow interruption to downstream customers. The downstream customers of different industry which serves to run day to day life of society like Power Plants, City Gas Distribution (CGD) Companies, Refineries, Fertilizers, Ceramics, Dairy units etc will not be interrupted while run a smart pig to avoid consequences and give better service as a Pipeline operator. Smart pig, performance specification shall be qualified by the service provider by any one of the methodologies i.e. verified historical data, Large scale tests from real or artificial anomalies, small scale tests, modeling, and/or analyses. Pipeline operator may ensure final documents and other requirements as per API1163 standards.

Full textAbstract:
CAD designers constantly face challenges in optimizing the design space to reduce cost and improve aesthetics without compromising the components’ functionality in an assembly. Specifically, in the aerospace industry, there is a need to continuously accommodate more components in lesser space and also consume less weight. With an increased use of 3D CAD models to represent complex designs and assemblies in industries like automotive, aerospace, and in various electronic products, there is a need for a tool to review the CAD assemblies for space optimization at every stage of the design. For effective space optimization, there is a need to quickly get an idea of the consumed and available space in the assembly. This will help the designer take effective decisions in placement of components such that the available space is effectively optimized. Currently designers adopt various tools like repeated sectioning, component box computation and summation to get an estimate of the available versus consumed space. The first approach is time consuming while the latter is not as accurate as required. In this paper, we have adopted an approach based on voxelization or volumization of the 3D CAD models to compute the volume space occupied by the assembly and its components and also identify void spaces between the components in an assembly. The volume space is computed by fitting a voxel grid enclosing the 3D Model with uniform number of voxels along coordinate axes. The voxels are examined to identify whether there is material (or no material) and classify them as inside (material) or outside (no material) voxels and are grouped into finite regions. Once the model is discretized, the output can be post-processed to generate data for various applications — computing the wrap volume or consumed space of the complete assembly, identifying significant void spaces in the assembly, etc. A wrap volume is the volume of the package which would result if we hypothetically wrap the model under consideration with wrapping/packaging paper. Consumed-space is different from the material volume in that it includes additional space due to voids in the model, small inaccessible spaces, etc. The approach is useful for design improvements through optimization of void spaces between components depending on the related use cases. In the present study, this methodology has been successfully tested on a few industrial components. Greater accuracy in space discretization can be achieved by increasing voxel resolution. This approach handles complex geometry including freeform surfaces and turns out to be useful in addressing the space optimization problems in industries dealing with complex assemblies.
