Low Head Hydraulic Pumping – Design, Simulation, and Field Validation of Ram and Turbine Pump in Indian River Basin
Water energy is essential for economic expansion and human development. Social progress
and economic growth depend on meeting water energy needs sustainably. The use of non renewable energy sources for pumping water to ...
Climate-resilience of Dwellings in Transition and the Thermal Behaviour of their Inhabitants
Thermal comfort is critical for the well-being, and productivity of the inhabitants. Traditional dwellings constructed using local, low-carbon materials have for decades provided comfortable indoor thermal environment to ...
Multi-component Gas Mixture Separation: Fundamental Studies to Pilot Scale Development and Characterization
Climate change has become one of the significant challenges of the 21st century resulting in increased demand for low-carbon energy carriers to achieve a sustainable future. Thermo-chemical conversion of environmentally ...
Thermochemical conversion of biomass – single particle and packed bed: Experimental and Numerical Studies
The current work uses experimental and numerical techniques to analyze the thermochemical conversion of a single biomass particle exposed to various reactive environments – varying temperatures and O2, CO2 and H2O ...
Investigations into the Thermo-chemical Conversion of Simulated Refuse Derived Fuels with Different Plastic Contents
The burgeoning problem of municipal waste generation along with its disposal problem has urged the development of sustainable waste management practices such as waste-to-energy conversion. Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) represents ...
Methanol Synthesis from Simulated Bio-syngas: Experimental and Modeling Studies
Methanol is increasingly being considered as an alternative fuel due to its potential to reduce environmental pollution and its ability to be used directly in internal combustion engines without any engine modification. ...
Design and Characterisation of Rotating Gliding Arc Reactor for Dilute Hydrocarbon Conversion Applications: Experiments and Simulations Studies
In recent years, non-thermal plasma technology is becoming popular for chemical applications involving conversion/abatement/decomposition of compounds of interest. The specialty of non-thermal plasmas is to activate chemical ...
Design and Characterization of a Pin-to-Water Plasma Reactor Setup for the Generation of High Strength Plasma Activated Water
Plasma-activated water (PAW), generated by non-thermal atmospheric plasma interaction with water, has emerged as a promising solution due to its potent antimicrobial, antitumor, and nitrogen fixation properties, with ...
Isolation of Arsenic and Sodium Hydroxide Recovery Using Nanofiltration for a Zero-waste Arsenic Remediation Scheme
Groundwater contamination by arsenic poses a significant global health concern, with even
trace concentrations leading to severe health issues, including various cancers and
cardiovascular diseases. Conventional arsenic ...
Investigating the role of moisture in vernacular and conventional building typologies for occupant comfort and health
Moisture is omnipresent and critical to sustain life on the planet. In buildings, it is observed in the form of indoor moisture, dampness on walls, seepages, etc. As building occupants, humans perceive moisture in the air ...
