Reliability Based Approach for Evaluation of MSW Landfill Designs and Site Selection using GIS
(2018-02-28)Dumping of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated due to anthropogenic activities in any barren land or out fields causes severe hazards to human populations, ecosystems and the environment. In order to avoid this, it is ... -
Studies into Thermal Transmittance of Conventional and Alternative Building Materials and Associated with Building Thermal Performance
(2018-03-01)The present investigation is focused on the thermal performance of building materials, specifically their thermal transmittance, and consequent impact on building envelope and building thermal performance. Thermal performance ... -
Studies on Modified Clay Additives to Impart Iodide Sorption Capacity to Bentonite in the Context of Safe Disposal of High Level Nuclear Waste
(2018-03-03)It is a generally agreed internationally that high level nuclear wastes containing long-lived radioactive wastes should be disposed in deep and stable geological formations that are 500-1000 m below ground level. Deep ... -
Studies on Processed Granulated Blast Furnace Slag as Fine Aggregate in Mortars and Concrete
Fine aggregate is essential for the preparation of mortar and concrete. There are attempts to find alternatives to the river sand as the natural sources for fine aggregates are dwindling. Currently, sand mining from river ... -
Sustainable and Energy Efficient Treatment Potential of Mixed Algal Consortia for High Nutrient Organic Wastewaters
The increasing levels of generation of nutrient rich wastewaters around the world pose serious challenges where conventional biological and chemical methods of treatment have gradually begun to fail in meeting sustainability ... -
Syngas Fueled Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (Sofc) – Experiments and Analysis on Gas Characterization and Cell Performance
The present research addresses the complexities involved in the use of syngas as a fuel in a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). Solid oxide fuel cell is an efficient, clean direct energy conversion device. Being a fuel flexible ... -
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 ... -
Valorization of Residual Ligno-celluloses from Anaerobic Digesters Through Product Recovery
Complete digestion of lignocellulosic biomass during anaerobic digestion (AD) is impossible due to recalcitrance created by lignin, consequently leaving behind a significant part of the feedstock unconverted to methane. ... -
Vulnerability of Forests to Climatic and Non-Climatic Stressors : A Multi-Scale Assessment for Indian Forests
(2018-06-05)During the 21st century, climatic change and non-climatic stressors are likely to impact forests leading to large-scale forest and biodiversity loss, and diminished ecological benefits. Assessing the vulnerability of ...
