In this present research inspection on the flexural performance of reinforced concrete members formed as Industrial waste. In the inspection, Palm Oil Shells (POS) are replacing in coarse aggregates (C.A). In this research, the lightweight concrete (LWC) is attained by substituting the coarse aggregates up to 50 percent employing Palm oil shells (POS). Replacing of C.A with POS in concrete making not individual solve the complexity of disposing of this solid misuse and also helps protect natural resources. To reduce CO2 emissions from the cement industry, the cement is partially replaced with GGBS-ground granulated blast furnace slag and POFA - palm oil fuel ash, and adding 0.5% Glass fibers (G.F) to the volume of the concrete to increase ductility properties. Beams through varying dimensions were fictional and experienced under four-point bending and also Slabs with central load are considered. Data accessible includes deflection characteristics, Ductility Index. The investigation related to flexural actions of fiber-reinforced POS concrete be equivalent to the natural concrete and the new results compare sensibly fine with the Indian code of exercise.

Pollution is a factor that makes humans lives worse; because of this pollution, so much of health hazards are uprising. This article mainly contributes to constructing a dry hydroxy cell generator that generates brown gas, which is usually known as hydroxy gas. The primary catalyst used is lye (NaOH) and caustic potash (KOH), which is to be incorporated with stainless steel and followed by supplying a unidirectional current. The reaction is accelerated since the catalyst offers a proxy pathway to expedite the response. The law of electrolysis of faraday governs this process. To lower the consumption of fossil fuel, which is the primary root cause of pollution. This dissertation provides detailed scrutiny on brown gas generators and its best harvest, which is known to be the highest production volume of HHO gas. This journal deals with how the change in the catalyst, power rating and concentration ratio affects the brown gas production and how NaOH differs from KOH in HHO gas production. The average time taken to produce 1 litre of HHO gas using NaOH is about 53 seconds, whereas it is about 80 seconds for KOH.

In the modern building construction, the trend of constructing structures that are economical as well as aesthetically appealing is increasing. These structures often employ ideas and architectural features that are diverse from the emblematic conventional structures. The unconventionally shaped building has irregularities in the distribution of mass, stiffness and strength along the height of the building. Conical and pyramidal frustum shaped building are those structures that have remarkable shape and utilizes both inclined and vertical columns. In these structures, the floor area of the plan changes at each specific storey. With the intensification in complexity and innovation of the building construction, earthquake forces have become an imperative factor to be considered while construction of these avantgarde structures. The Indian Standard code IS-1893: 2002 (Part-I) describes the approach for the structures with irregularities considering the varying mass, floor-area ratio and stiffness of the storeys. The objective of the paper is systematic seismic analysis of a conical and pyramidal frustum shaped commercial building(G+6) at Janakpuri, Delhi using STAAD. Pro V8i. The buildings are located in seismic zone IV. The result of the analysis aids to understand and compare the storey drift, storey displacement and stiffness of the structures subjected to earthquake forces.

Natural fiber reinforced composite materials are most increasingly used as sustainable structures in engineering industries due to their vast availability and eco-friendly nature. In this regard, an emphasis is given in the present work to the use of natural fiber in structural composite material in place of synthetic fibers for structural applications. In the present study, the mechanical properties and free vibration characteristics of a pure green composite laminate were experimentally evaluated. For complete understanding of the behaviour of green composite material, a second laminate is prepared using synthetic resin. Two types of composite laminates were fabricated by hand layup method. In the pure green laminate, natural flax fiber is embedded in cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) resin and for the second laminate epoxy resin is used as matrix. The flax fiber is preferred due to its high mechanical strength among all the natural fibers. Alkaline treatment is done for the natural flax fiber before fabrication to remove impurities and also improve the surface adhesion. Both the laminates were tested for mechanical properties and free vibration characteristics according to ASTM standards. The experimentally evaluated tensile, flexural properties and modal frequency values of two types of laminates are reported and discussed.

doi: 10.1088/1757-899X/1130/1/012005pmid: N/A
In this experimental study an attempt is made to find out a biodiesel, whose NOx and CO2 emissions are less and encouraging. Vegetable oils namely Babul oil (Acacia Arabica), Tung Oil (Aleurites fordii) and Grape seed oil (vitis vinifera) were transesterified to reduce their viscosity. These biodiesels were studied as fuel in direct injection 3.7 kW, 1500 rpm with electrical resistance loading. Experiments were conducted at constant speed of 1500 rpm at different percentages of full load of the engine. Out of these three, Grape seed oil methyl ester (GSME) has its performance closer to that of diesel fuel followed by Babul Oil Methyl Ester (BOME) and Tung Oil Methyl Ester (TOME). The brake thermal efficiency of GSME is marginally lower than that of Diesel at full load. The CO2 emissions of these biodiesels were 13%, 17% and 29% lower than that of diesel fuel emissions at full load for BOME, GSME and TOME respectively. The NOx emissions of BOME and TOME were lower by 22% and 27% lower than that of diesel fuel. However the smoke emissions are higher than that of pure diesel operation of the engine.

In this present era of population growth and scarcity of available land made engineers and architects to construct high rise building. Lateral loads are considered as most dominant factor in construction of high-rise building. To improve the efficiency of high-rise building, a new structural systems like diagrid and hexa-grid is introduced in this study. Diagrid structural system is the one which resist lateral load by presence of inclined columns in the periphery of the building. Another structural systems like hexa-grid also introduced in this study. Hexa-grid is the presence of hexagonal truss angulated system in the periphery of the building. Like diagrid, hexa-grid also resists lateral load and vertical load by axial action of diagonal and horizontal components in the periphery of the structure. In diagrid and hexa-grid most of the conventional columns are eliminated. In this paper a regular square floor plan of 48 × 48 m and irregular floor plan like C and L type base plan of diagrid and hexa-grid are studied. All structural steel members are designed as per IS 800:2007. The design earthquake load is computed based on the zone factor and their soil types, importance factor and response reduction factor as per IS: 1893-2016. All models are having same 40 storey height and they are compared based on the parameters like displacement, maximum storey drift, storey shear, maximum base shear and steel consumed are considered in this study.
A Review on Electronics Cooling using NanofluidsBalaji, T; Selvam, C; Mohan Lal, D
doi: 10.1088/1757-899X/1130/1/012007pmid: N/A
Continuous reduction in the size of the electronics for space limitations with higher processing speed generates high heat flux density from the electronics chips during its operational mode. However, this increased heat flux density causes a major problem for the electronics and leads to the failure of the components if not removed properly. This paper investigates the various cooling techniques especially the liquid cooling system operated with nanofluids-a special kind of fluid with the dispersion of nanometre sized particles. This paper quantifies the various kinds of nanofluids used for electronics cooling along with its thermal performance by targeting on the thermal characteristics such as heat transfer coefficient, thermal resistance, thermal conductance, interface temperature, etc. This paper also quantifies the operation of nanofluids over the various geometries of micro channel heat exchangers that serve as a heat sink for power dissipation from the electronics.
