Use Eco-indicator 99, Solid waste https://www.michelin.in/auto/ty cumulative energy demand (CED) & Storage res/michelin-primacy-suv Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Other releases (IPCC) techniques to conduct LCA. Distribution Composition: Synthetic rubber (24.17% of tire mass), natural rubber (18.21), Carbon black (19), coated steel wires (11.4), precipitated silica Disposal (9.65), oil (6.12), textiles (4.7), zinc oxide (1.58), sulphur (1.28), stearic acid (0.96), recycled rubber (0.5) and other. "Eco Indicator 99" refers to method for assessing sustainability. Based on life cycle assessment (LCA) principles, Eco-indicator 99 seeks to quantify potential environmental impacts (categories, such as resource depletion, climate change, ozone depletion, human toxicity, …) of product/service throughout its entire life cycle. It combines the impacts into single score: "eco-points," to compare products or procedures. Cumulative Energy Demand (CED) metric evaluates total quantity of energy needed throughout entire life cycle of product/process/service. Comprehensive evaluation of energy inputs at various phases, including extraction of raw materials, production, transportation, use & disposal. CED considers both direct and indirect energy consumption, including electricity, fossil fuels & renewable energy sources. It facilitates identifying energy-intensive stages. Energy inputs are typically expressed in megajoules (MJ) or kilowatt-hours (kWh) with appropriate-transparent documentation of assumptions, data sources, and calculation procedures. International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), established in 1988, plays crucial role in providing scientific assessments/reports on climate change, its effects, possible mitigation & adaptation strategies. Primary objective of IPCC is to appraise and synthesise most recent scientific, technical, socio-economic data on climate change, ensuring a thorough & objective evaluation of current state of knowledge. These reports are based on exhaustive reviews of scientific literature and opinions of several thousands of experts from around the globe. According to manufacturer data, manufacturing process generates ~ 0.5 kg of trash. 3,000 liters of fuel are required for a car travelling 50,000 km. Each tire consumes 750 liters. Collected between 16-17 litre/km 2015 and 2016. “A travelled distance of 50,000 km“, “5-year life” Eco-index for manufacture, usage, and recycling of automobile tire over its whole life cycle was determined to be 153 Pt, with standard deviation of 37.2 Pt. To lessen environmental impact of automobile tires: Use more efficient recycling systems and reduce energy consumption in manufacturing operations. Efforts should also be made to increase fuel economy. Customer Driven Innovation Lecture 1 Defining Design Problems in Context of Mechanical Engineering ❑Four contextual Factors: 1. Technological Context: Advances in materials, manufacturing techniques, and computing constantly change mechanical design. Using new developments in design is essential for optimum solution. 2. Growing awareness of environmental impact and sustainability requires design problems to consider energy efficiency, recyclability, and a minimal ecological footprint. 3. Regulatory and safety standards are constantly updated. These standards set the rules for designs, making sure products are safe, reliable, and meet legal requirements. 4. Additionally, engineering solutions must be cost effective. Lecture 2 Design Problems ?? Dr. Harish Hirani, Fellow ASME Professor (HAG), Department of Mechanical Engineering IIT Delhi, Hauz Khas, New Delhi-16 “DESIGN” Process of finding best solution using creativity & science, and effectively communicating that plan to others (group activity). Defining goal thinking process producing something NEW - at least partly Seed plantation Seedbed Agricultural Challenges preparation Tillage: Major operation for seedbed preparation Tillage ➔ Mechanical manipulation of soil to create optimal environment for seed germination & plant growth. 1.Tillage improves soil aeration by breaking up compacted soil, bury crop residues, and control weeds, which is essential for root breathing, creating environment for root penetration and water infiltration and water retention. Maintaining an appropriate balance of air & water in soil to promote seed germination and early plant development. 2.By exposing soil to air, tillage can help in warming up seedbed ➔ Providing a more favorable temperature range for seeds to germinate. 3. Tillage ensures that nutrients are evenly distributed. https://pib.gov.in/Pressreleaseshare.aspx?PRID=1740858 Tillage to Spading (machine) Spading machine loosens soil instead of slicing it, creating a porous and permeable bed that enables soil to breathe and absorb water. Spading turns over soil in chunks in a way that minimizes disruption to soil layers and maintains soil health. 30 JUL 2021 Design needs Creativity to unlock imagination. Company X, decided to design air-circulators for paint shops. Length of 2-m and diameter of 0.6-m was designed for rotor of air-circulator. Company X wanted to design suitable bearings to reduce power consumption on 2/3. On studying air-circulator problem, it was found that rotor length could be reduced from 2-m to 1.4-m by relocating drive- motor. Reduction in length of rotor itself fulfilled the requirements.

Withstand stacking, movement, and other physical stresses without collapsing or deforming, ensuring that pizza inside remains intact and uncrushed. The design includes ventilation holes or slits to allow steam to escape. This prevents the pizza from becoming soggy by reducing condensation inside the box. Proper ventilation ensures that the crust stays crispy while still maintaining the overall warmth of the pizza. Pizza boxes are designed with sustainability in mind. They are often made from recycled materials and are themselves recyclable. Where is Problem?

History of Toothed Gear Invention and Development: With the introduction of the differential gear mechanism, the concept of bevel gear is also developed. Straight Bevel Herringbone Bevel (1927) 90o Crossed Worm & Helical Gear Spiral Bevel Worm Wheel Hypoid Bevel Emergence of form cutters and gear hobbing machines allowed ➔ mass-production, Refinement in form and performance. In 1897, Herman Pfauter invented a machine capable of cutting both traditional "spur" gears & helical gears. Now full 6-axis machines perfected the design, cutting, and manufacturing of gears. Design Evolution in Gear Geometry: Development of various gear types for specific applications. Helical gear drive Spur gear drive Bevel gear drive with straight teeth Cylindrical teeth Worm gear drive Helix (right- handed or left- handed) angle ➔ Herringbone gear 10° to 45°. Gears come in various tooth configurations tailored for specific applications. Combination of rolling and sliding motion. Design of helical (less noise & vibration), bevel, and worm gears is more complex than simple spur gears. American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) offers detailed data and algorithms for calculations. CROSSED HELICAL GEARS: gears are mounted on shafts that are neither parallel nor intersecting. connect shafts that are at an angle to each other, typically between 45 and 90 degrees. Used in light-load applications, such as in distributor, speedometer drives of automobiles. less efficient than parallel helical gears Additive manufacturing, 3D printing technology ➔ Production of complex gear geometries. Future trends ➔ Integration of sensors and IoT technology into gears for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance ➔ to reduce ecological impact of gear production. Development of new coatings to enhance gear performance in extreme environments such as space and deep-sea applications. Meshing errors In the gear contact sense, mesh misalignment implies the axial shifting of the position of the meshing surfaces due to either deflections or errors in the manufacture of the gears and their housings. The occurrence of any of these actions typically alters the location of contact on the tooth flank and may lead to large stresses and increased noise of a gear pair. Mesh misalignment may be divided into three categories: 1. Parallel misalignment (centre distance change) 2. Radial misalignment 3. Angular misalignment k >1 “long addendum gear”… High Contact Ratio Internally meshing spur gears Plastic Gears Plastic gears offer numerous advantages, such as low noise, corrosion resistance, lightweight, low inertia, and cost-effectiveness. – No breakage of gear or gear teeth Bending and contact stresses < Allowable – Precise geometry Precise manufacturing Plastic forming process during manufacturing often leads to low-precision due to shrinkage, resulting in non-standard tooth profiles, greater pitch and tooth profile errors, poor tooth surface, and inadequate tooth contact properties. Precision defects in injection molding due to plastic shrinkage become more prominent. To address minimum tip thickness problem in small gears three main aspects are considered: 1. Relationship between plastic gear tooth root modification and rack tool tip modification 2. Relationship between plastic gear tooth tip modification and rack tool root modification 3. Controllable coating … No residual tensile stresses or thermal distortion.
