Abstract: With the alarming increase in vehicular population, there is depletion of fossil fuel availability. Hence to overcome the difficulties, alternative fuels are tested and used in parts of the world. One of the difficulties with usage of alternate fuels is their high viscosity in comparison to fossil fuels. To overcome this, preheating of biofuel is a good option as it makes the fuel less viscous. In our research, we have used a helical coil heat exchanger to preheat the inlet fuel using the engine’s exhaust gas, making the system more sustainable since no external energy is used. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of preheating device a simulation study has been carried for the methanol based biofuels. For simulation work, a set of boundary conditions has been arrived based on the experimental analysis. The results from the experiment such as velocity of air and fuel inlet were utilized as input for simulation work. The simulation study was carried out using fluent solver, to compare the effectiveness of proposed preheating device for the biofuel blends (B20 and B30). The simulations results are obtained for various temperature and pressure profiles for air outlet, fuel outlet & outer wall of preheating device. These were analysed and a comparative study between ethanol blends. The result shows that the temperature profile of E30 is slightly higher than E20, this is solely due to viscosity of E20 being higher than E30. With the preheating device the fuel’s viscosity reduces which helps in better fuel flow and improved atomization. Also the preheating of ethanol leads to improve vaporization characteristic and hence the improved combustion can be accomplished. Hence preheating is a viable solution for in biofuels. The focus of the research is to validate the effectiveness of preheating device.

Abstract: National highway road security is challenging with increase of terrorist attacks across the world. The shipment of payload materials and illegal weapons in containers and even transport cars is a significant component to deliberate in modern days. This paper focused on three stage toll gate security system to automate the security level at targeted toll gates on road highways. Detecting sensor mechanism is proposed at stage 1 to scan the hidden objects. Detecting sensor is applied to improve the scan process. Capacitive stretch sensor technology is proposed to weigh the moving vehicle. The capacitive sensitivity is increased with three electrode layers. Radio frequency technology is proposed for toll management system. Global System for mobile communication is implanted for communicate with toll amount information, Overload state of the vehicle, weapons and explosive information to the pre-defined destination locations. The proposed methodology is reliable to safeguard the human life and to alert the security agencies from the terrorist movements in road highways.
