EFFICIENT MASS TRANSPORTATION-ticket counter system

Here only one compartment is shown to highlight the colours that are used.
Ticket counter systemThe ticket counter employed is electronic and software supported. The software is designed in such a way when the pass swiped or ticket tat is brought only allows the passenger to get in. When bus stops in a stop. The entry and exit of the vehicle is very specific. The back door is used for exiting of the passengers. When the exit door opens the sensors near the exit get activated. The driver can see if any passenger allegedly enters the vehicle. Then the driver closes the exit and opens the entry door for the passengers. The passengers use the electronic device right next to entry door. They swipe the respective ticket or pass and enter. If any passenger allegedly enters the driver will take action.

CO2 EXTORAGE

This is how the final working model will look like.

CO2 EXTORAGE

 This was our initial design.

ROLE OF EVERY MEMBER IN A TEAM:-

The topic that we had chosen was climate, so everyone was assigned to find a related project under the above mentioned topic. As Shuaib told us that we can do something regarding the Global warming. Then Arun and Manish was assigned to collect all information related to Global warming and Green house effect. Then Akash thought of designing a device that can measure the percentage of CO2 in the region where it is kept. But many team members opposed this and then Sanjay suggested to design a device which can be installed near the exhaust valve of automobiles which can purify and convert the harmful gases into less harmful gases, even this didn’2t get the majority vote so even this proposal was left out. Then Bharath came with an idea of extracting CO2 directly from atmosphere itself. Then the topic was finalised as to design a device which can extract and store CO2 . Then search for a suitable process began. Then we came up with three solutions. Sanjay came with an idea of extracting CO2 from amine. Akash came up with a process of extracting it from a porous membrane and Bharath with an idea of extracting from NaOH. After evaluating the feasibility and other factors of the 3 process in the team meeting and we found that by using EVAD concept selection process, using Amine was more economical and feasible. So we stick to that process. Then we started writing PDS, and distributed the work among the team members. Sanjay was assigned to write performance, Akash was asked to write manufacturing, Bharath was assigned to write operational, Manish to write Safety and Shuaib to write acceptance. Akash and Sanjay took up the task of preparing the design drawings. Manish and shuaib wrote ergonomics and aesthetics.

ERGONOMICS:-

1} Easy to use.

2} Once air is blown the process takes place smoothly without any leakage.

3} Active material AMINE can be recycled for more than 5000 times.

4}Device is portable.

5} Cooling water is circulated to cool the fluid.



AESTHETICS:-

1} Temperature measuring device, display the temperature of the working fluid.

2} Model is compact.

CO2 EXTORAGE

Solution 1:-

Size of CO2 molecule is found to be 393 angstrom. If a membrane is prepared or produced synthetically whose porous size is around 395 angstrom such that when air is allowed to pass through it, it should block all other components of air other than CO2. Or else it must be produced in such a way that it should block CO2 and allow all other components of air.



SOLUTION 2:-

(Amine-H2CO3) formed when heated to a temperature of 70 deg Celsius it gives Amine, water and carbon-di-oxide.
(Amine-H2CO3) heat Amine + H2O +CO2 ↑
This is how carbon-di-oxide can be extracted from the atmospheric air.
. The active material or the working substance used is AMINE along with water. Amine reacts with water to form (Amine-H2O).
Amine + Water  (Amine-H2O)
When air is blown through this solution, all other components of except CO2 bubbles out and only CO2 reacts to give (Amine –H2CO3 ).
CO2 + (Amine-H2O)  (Amine-H2CO3)


SOLUTION 3:-

The process involves pumping air from the atmosphere through a chamber containing sodium hydroxide, which reacts with the CO2 to form sodium carbonate. This carbon-containing solution is then mixed with lime to precipitate powdered calcium carbonate – a naturally occurring form of which is limestone. Finally, the "limestone" is heated to release pure CO2 for storage.

Using EVAD concept selection we found that AMINE process is best suited for the extraction of CO2.
