  Abstract
  Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of horizontal biomass gasification process has been carried out. The gas-solid interaction, thermal-flow behavior and biomass gasification process inside a horizontal gasifier were studied using the software named as commercial CFD solver ANSYS CFX. The influence of gasification air velocity, temperature inside the reactor, species mass fractions of biomass, turbulence eddy dissipation and eddy viscosity on performance of horizontal gasifier were examined. All phases are described using an Eulerian approach to model the exchange of mass, energy and momentum. The analysis includes two cases, the first case deals with flow pattern and the influence of geometry whereas the second case deals with reaction modeling in a steady-state thermal analysis. It is found that superficial gas and mass fraction of biomass has a strong influence on the outlet temperature and gas velocity. Producer gas temperature and H2 and CO distributions

  Key-Words / Index Term
  Aspen plus CFD CFX, turbulence kinetic energy, turbulence eddy dissipation, biomass, horizontal gasifier, kinetic reaction.

  Abstract
  Today Location based Services are one of the largest application areas where end user is willing to pay for services. Also, Location based market is expected to grow dramatically as most Mobile phones sold now are capable of running Location based games which are major source of Interest for User. User shows an excitement to play, whether he is playing in a real world or he is playing in a Virtual world just like a real one. Location based games are the types of games that explore the unique features of GPS enabled mobile devices. Location based Games reached their peak level with the combining technologies such as Global positioning devices, Bluetooth and Wireless Networks. Location based mobile games are categorized as Learning Games, Adventures Games, Strategy Games, Searching games ,Sports games and Educational Games. A Game world is notionally superimposed into city surface where the Games narratives are influenced by the player’s movements in the city. Maps represent the real opponents and Virtual objects from the game Imaginary world. Today most of the games are emphasizing on covering various public spaces and extend the gameplay in physical environment. This paper analyses the technologies used Mobile Gaming and a platform that provides access to spatial features such as building outlines, streets and real time positions of Players on the map. Further, the paper shows the implementation of few Location based Games that compares the Location in real world and actual world.

  Abstract
  Objective: Mechanized preservation of track on Indian Railways was announced during premature sixties. Modern track can’t be preserved and positioned manually and thus routine of machines has developed a basic necessity. Track Machines on Indian Railways have been pigeonholed as Small Track Machines & Large Track Machines. Hence, the usage of Railway Track Machines inventory came into presence. Methods/Analysis: Modules Description - (1) Add Data and Manipulator Registration (2) Search Resources in All Goods yard (3) Add Indent and Indent List (4) Add Procurement Order and Supplies List (5) Issue and Received Material List. Findings: The purpose is to develop the Central Railways Track Machines Inventory Control Dashboard, Government of India. The main goods yards are Bhusawal, Nagpur, Mumbai, Pune and Solapur. This is a complete back-end assignment retained by the super-administration of the chief division and the other sub-administration of the main goods yard. This scheme can be used to stock the information of different categories of small parts such as seal, tool, walky-talky, engine, welding rod etc. required in large track machines. The large machines used for repairing tracks, known as consignee is added to the system. Indent list is generated which increases the inventory. Indents are called and added to the purchase. Novelty/Improvement: This system drafts for the total issued and received of the raw materials. The sub managements are certified to search for materials in all goods yard. The required quantity of materials can be further purchased and added to the division’s inventory by the organization. The system is restructured from time to time retaining the record of the latest available consignee, indent, quantity, sale and procurement of raw resources.

  Abstract
  It’s been since last half decade of 1990’s that India saw a drastic change with the way people stated withdrawing money. Earlier, one had to go to the teller counter, receive a token, wait for long hours till his token number is called out or displayed on the board and finally collects money from the teller. Automated Teller Machine (ATM) came with a sigh of relief and has now become a vital part of our society. Initially every bank had its own ATM, but today it is used not only for withdrawing money but also for various other functions and one can witness ATM of one bank being used by people having accounts in other banks too. It has been observed that using the ATM however at times can often be wearisome. This could be due to the procedure involved in using ATM, problem with design navigation menu, lack of knowledge of using ATM or its various other functions. This paper is mainly to understand the functions of ATM and its awareness among people and to analyse the process of using ATM and flaws experienced, if any, in using it. Various practical suggestions are also made to make it more user friendly.
