Abstract: Biodiesel are becoming popular as alternative eco-friendly fuel now days. The petroleum product requirement is going on increasing day by
day in India with limited resources in the oil pool. Crisis of petroleum fuel and import of fossil fuel is giving a high impact on the economy and
development. Besides the economy and development, fossil fuel also leads to a major problem like global warming and climatic change. The emission of
harmful gasses like CO, NOx,(CO)_2, and smoke density causes acid rain, health hazard and also global warming. The high oil price, environmental
concern and supply instability put many researchers to go for alternative fuel i.e. biodiesel. Biodiesel is part of the solution which reduced many of the
problems. The objectives of this study are the production process, fuel properties, oil content, engines testing and performance analysis of biodiesel from
mahua and cotton seedoil.

Abstract: This paper deals optimized model to investigate the effects of pulse on time, pulse off time and wire feed rate in EDM performance on
material removal rate. Wire electrical discharge machining process is a highly complex, time varying & stochastic process. The process output is affected
by large no of input variables. Therefore a suitable selection of input variables for the wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) process relies
heavily on the operators technology & experience because of their numerous & diverse range. Rough cutting operation in wire EDM is treated as
challenging one because improvement of more than one performance measures viz. Metal removal rate (MRR), surface finish & cutting Width (kerf) are
sought to obtain precision work. Using Taguchi experimental design, significant machining parameters affecting the performance measures are
identified as pulse on time, pulse off time and wire feed rate. WEDM process parameters can be adjusted so as to achieve better metal removal rate.
