machine shaft is supported by radial and thrust bearings. Radial bearings support the dead load on the shaft, while thrust bearings support the axial load due to compression of saw dust by screw. One end of the shaft is connected to the gear drive. In the other end of the shaft screw is inserted. Starting section of screw placed inside barrel conveys the material into the mould. Mould is made in two sections, first in which the cross section gradually reduced to the final shape of briquette (called forming

Biomass densification by screw briquetting produces uniform, dense and durable solids desirable for gasification, process heating, power generation and other heating applications which are currently run by coal. Due to high wear rate, the screw and mould used for forming the briquettes deteriorate leading to regular production stoppage and considerable down time losses. Hence Indian entrepreneurs are apprehensive to adopt screw briquetting technology in spite of its potential. In this work improvement

The Turn of the Screw is one those, featuring two children who appear to be consorting with ghosts and a governess who’s sole purpose in life has become to save the children from these evil spiritual entities. Intriguing, but the incredible dense writing really killed this for me despite its short length. Interestingly enough though,
