Integrability Evaluation Methodology for Building Integrated Photovoltaic's (BIPV) : A Study in Indian Climatic Conditions
(2018-01-02)
India’s geographical location renders it with ample solar-energy potential ranging from 4-7 kWh/m2 daily and 2,300–3,200 sunshine hours annually. The diverse nature of human settlements (scattered low-rise to dense high-rise) ...
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 ...
Granular Media Supported Microbial Remediation of Nitrate Contaminated Drinking Water
(2018-01-11)
Increasing nitrate concentration in ground water from improper disposal of sewage and excessive use of fertilizers is deleterious to human health as ingestion of nitrate contaminated water can cause methaemoglobinemia in ...
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 ...
Evaluation of the Engineering Properties of Municipal Solid Waste for Landfill Design
(2018-07-18)
The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the engineering properties of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) that are necessary in the design of landfills. The engineering properties of MSW such as compressibility, shear strength, ...
Effect of Extractives and Crude Proteins on the Kinetics of Hydrolysis in a Solid State Bio-Reactor
(2018-04-18)
Polymer hydrolysis is the first (and rate limiting) step for biomethanation of heterogeneous biomass feedstock’s. Satisfactory hydrolysis has been difficult to achieve, understand and predict adequately, to run anaerobic ...
Expermental and Modeling Studies on the Generation of Hydrogen Rich Syngas through Oxy-Steam Gasification of Biomass
(2018-02-20)
The present work focuses on the study of biomass gasification process for generating hydrogen rich synthetic gas with oxy-steam as reactants using experiments and modeling studies. Utilization of the syngas as a fuel in ...
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 ...
In-Cylinder Experimental and Modeling Studies on Producer Gas Fuelled Operation of Spark Iginited Gas Engines
(2018-08-10)
The current work, through experimental and numerical investigations, analyses the process and cycle level deviations in engine response on fuelling multi-cylinder natural gas engines with producer gas. Producer gas is a ...
