Adaptation and Characterization of Fossilized Hydrocarbon Gas Turbine Combustor for Operation with Green Fuel(s): Experimental and Numerical Investigation
Decarbonizing energy conversion systems necessitates the adaptation of conventional fossil-fuel-based systems, which have been designed and optimized over the past century for operation with fossilized hydrocarbons, to ... -
Contaminated Site Investigation and Remediation Using Modified Nano Zero Valent Iron Particles
Rapid industrialization has boosted economic growth but also increased contaminants in air, water, and soil. Improper disposal of municipal solid waste and industrial effluents has rendered many groundwater sources unfit ... -
Examining Climatic Response, Vulnerability and Adaptation in Rural Indian Dwellings to Climate Change: Case studies in three climatic zones
Buildings have evolved traditionally based on local resources and skills. They predominantly relied on passive climate-response mechanisms to provide indoor comfort. However, contemporary buildings, made primarily of bricks, ... -
Foaming of Surface Waterbodies: A Comprehensive Study on Causes, Persistence, Seasonality, and Mitigation Strategies
Foaming waterbodies have emerged as a significant global concern due to their adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems, offensive odour emissions, disruption of daily activities in nearby areas, and visual unpleasantness. ... -
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 ... -
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 Lignocellulosic Biomass to Generate Hydrogen Rich Synthesis Gas for Hydrogen Production: An Experimental and Thermodynamic Study Using Oxy-Steam as The Gasification Agent
Hydrogen can help decarbonize and bring a paradigm shift in the global energy mix. Green hydrogen, with its potential to mitigate carbon emission, offers an inexhaustible supply – free from the constraint of finite reserves. ...
