Abstract: In this paper, an experimental investigation of Water- Methanol system in a Spiral plate Heat Exchanger (SHE) is presented. Experiments have been conducted by varying the mass flow rate of cold fluid (Methanol), the mass flow rate of hot fluid (Water) and inlet temperature of the hot fluid, by keeping inlet temperature of the cold fluid constant. The effects of relevant parameters on the performance of spiral plate heat exchanger are studied. Also, in this paper, an attempt is made to propose Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models for the analysis of SHE. The data required to train the models are obtained from the experimental data based on Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The ANN models are developed using Back Propagation Network (BPN) algorithm, incorporating Levenberg-Marquardt (L-M) training method. The ANFIS models are developed based on advanced neuralfuzzy technology. The ANFIS model possesses the robustness of fuzzy system, the learning ability of neural networks and can adapt to various situations. The accuracy of the trained networks are verified according to their ability to predict unseen data by minimizing root mean square error (RMSE), average percentage error (APE) and correlation coefficient (%R2) value. The prediction of the parameters can be obtained without using charts and complicated equations.

Keywords: Spiral plate Heat Exchanger (SHE); Overall heat transfer coefficient (U); Pumping Power(Wp); Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) models.

Abstract: The inclusion of natural rubber latex into the Metakaoline blended concrete improves the performance properties of the concrete. Metakaoline in concrete reduces the porosity in the concrete on account of its pozzolanic reactions. Natural rubber latex modifies the concrete by improving the workability of concrete through ball bearing actions. The polymer latexes present in the natural rubber gets filled up in the pores in the paste structure thus forming a bond between the cement and aggregates in the concrete. This paper aims in presenting the optimum percentage weight natural rubber latex with Metakaoline to be made use in achieving the strengths at different water binder ratios to produce High Performance concrete.
Keywords: Natural rubber latex, High performance concrete, Metakaoline, water binder ratio, Aggregate binder ratio, compressive strength, flexure strengt.

Abstract: The role the construction industry plays in socio-economic development is significant. It provides the basis upon which other sectors can grow by constructing the physical facilities required for the production and distribution of goods and services. The construction industry has a significant multiplier effect on the economy as a whole. Cost is one of the primary measures of a project's success. This is true, especially for public projects in developing countries like India, because public construction projects in these countries are executed with scarce financial resources. In this paper we proposed an efficient budget oriented optimized cost overgrow scheme in Construction Technology and Management (CTM) system. Our proposed scheme solved the cost overgrow problem and improved the overall effect of the construction industry projects. The experimental results of our proposed scheme showed the effectiveness compared with existing works.
Keywords: CTM, Cost Overgrow, Construction Industry.

Abstract: Danushkodi was a small town at the southern tip of the Rameswaram island, at the eastern coast of theTamil Nadu state of India. Danushkodi island is about 29 km West of Talaimannar in Sri Lanka. It was in December 1964 a cyclone wiped out the town of Dhanushkodi , the sea also took away 2000 lives and crippling power supply and communications .Before the 1964 cyclone, Dhanushkodi was a flourishing tourist and pilgrimage town. Since Sri Lanka is just 31 km away, there were many ferry services between Dhanushkodi and Talaimannar of Srilanka , transporting travelers and goods across the sea. There were hotels, textile shops and dharmashalas catering to these pilgrims and travelers. From temples to churches, houses, dharmashalas, roads and railway station, all were destroyed leaving no signs of life. Once upon a time Dhanushkodi was full of flourishing tourist but now it has become Ghost town. However the remains of this town still exist recalling the old memories of the town attracting many tourists, but the remaining structures are currently threatened by erosion and negligence in restoration. The paper reviews the history of the town that disappeared and recalls the memory of the town and also discuss about potential of developing the remains of Dhanushkodi Island as tourist place.
Key Words: Erosion, Island, Pilgrimage town, Restoration, Tourist.

Abstract: Drought is a recurring hazard which affects many parts of Kenya. In most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, agriculture which is predominantly rain-fed is the main stay of the economies is highly prone to the impacts of drought which, whenever it occurs, leads to serious socioeconomic challenges at various levels. The study of drought duration, magnitude and severity have relevance in many areas such as waste load allocations, issuance of pollution discharge permits, location of treatment plants and sanitary landfills, determination of allowable water transfers and withdrawals both within, between and outside the affected areas and determination of minimum downstream release requirements for hydropower water supply, cooling plants and other facilities. Knowledge of the frequency distribution of the drought events is useful as it contributes to the assessment of drought risks which have implications on the long term ecological, economic and social well being of the biological and human communities that make use of water from the various streams in a basin.
Key words: hydrological drought, drought events, frequency distribution, modeling.

Abstract: In recent decade's world's energy demands are fulfilled by coal, natural gas as well as petroleum though the price of oil is skyrocketing. Moreover, geopolitical tensions around the world may push it higher and demand also increasing as well. The world is faced two new problems severely like energy crisis and environmental degradation. If this continues, global recession is unavoidable and depletion of world reserve accelerates undoubtedly. To produce more fuels and energy more environmental hamper is done by the world that's why many investigations have been done to find out an environment friendly, economically competitive and technically feasible alternative source of energy. Very recently, Biodiesel is found to be more sustainable, non toxic and energy efficient technology which is biodegradable. Around 350 oil bearing crops rapeseed, soybean, jatropha, sunflower, linseed and coconut are the main sources of Biodiesel. But these edible material sources were proved to be unfeasible where demand is much higher than the production.

Abstract: This manuscript describe the power of steel fiber sharing on the final strength of concrete beams. An investigational & analytical study of the performance of concrete beam resistant by means of Conservative strengthen bar and steel fibers beneath lateral load be available. It is now well recognized that one of the important properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete is its superior resistance to cracking and Crack spread. As a result of this ability to capture cracks, fiber composites possess increased extensibility and tensile strength, both at first crack and at ultimate load and the fibers are able to hold the matrix together even after extensive cracking. The net result of all these is to pass on to the fiber composite pronounced post – cracking ductility which is unheard of in ordinary concrete. The transformation from a brittle to a yielding type of material would increase substantially the energy absorption characteristics of the fiber composite and its ability to withstand repeatedly applied, upset or impact loading. Tests on conventionally reinforced concrete beam specimens, containing steel fibers in different size, have been conducted to establish load- deflection curves. It was observed that (SFRC) beams showed enhanced properties compared to that of RC beams with steel fibers. The experimental investigations are validated with the analytical studies carried out by finite element models using.
Keywords: Steel fiber, concrete, break, ductility, tools.

Abstract: The present study covers the area in the north of El-Sharkia governorate. This area is known to be suffered from irrigation problems and the farmers always complain about irrigation issues. Irrigation networks often are seen to perform below the expectation level, requiring their rehabilitation. Unfortunately, rehabilitation works are taken up on a piece-meal basis. The main object for rehabilitation is to improve conveyance efficiency, reliability and durability of the system so as to provide irrigation water to the beneficiaries in a more sustainable and equitable manner. The objectives of this study are to study the causes for water shortage in canals tails, perform rehabilitation for sections to improve the hydraulic performance. Questionnaires for both engineers and beneficiaries approved many reasons including need for rehabilitation behind the inefficiency of irrigation canals performance. A computer program is used to choose the best solution to achieve water balance. The CCHE-GUI 3.29 program is used to run upon a case study (El-Bateekh canal) , which approved the inefficiency of the canal to deliver the required discharges, while rehabilitation of the canal and remodeling the canal both improved conveyance efficiency for the same discharge.

Abstract: India is one of the largest consumers and producers of sugar in the world and is the world's second largest producer next to Brazil of the sugarcane. Country has made impressive growth in the bagasse cogeneration. However, sustaining the growth is the real challenge. This article provides an overview of the current status, historical growth, technological status, policy, regulatory and fiscal support extended by the Govt of India as well as state governments to bagasse cogeneration. This work has identified the barriers in speedy adoption of the technology by sugar mills. The article concludes that support extended to bagasse cogeneration by the MNRE, especially to cooperative sugar mills, must be continued. The preferential tariff determined by CERC and SERCs for the bagasse cogeneration must take into account the increased support price offered to sugarcane by state governments as well as price offered to bagasse by competing technologies like paper and pulp industries. Strong RPO compliance by power distribution companies and streamlining of REC mechanism is required to attract industries, project developers and investors to invest in renewable energy in the country.
Key Words: Bagasse Cogeneration, Barriers, Cogeneration Status, India, Sugar Mills.

Abstract: This paper analyses the pressure drop for a single phase compressible and incompressible fluid flow and also a flow with phase change through a pipe or tube considering the existing theories of diffèrent pressure head drops. But the analysis on momentum gain pressure drop applicable for adiabatic capillary design of domestic refrigerators introduced some contradictions with universally accepted property values of refrigerant tables. This paper is based on flow properties of refrigerant R-600a through the capillary tube causing the expansion from the condenser pressure to the evaporator pressure with partial phase change from liquid to vapor by flash vaporisation. Here a more realistic theoretical concept is developed considering a new internal boosting force generated from the release of internal energy in the momentum balance relation and eliminates the contradiction in momentum gain pressure drop .This paper emphatises on the momentum gain caused by the internal energy réalèse rather than pressure drop in case of adiabatic flow with phase change.
Keywords: Adiabatic capillary tube, frictional pressure drop, internal boosting force , momentum pressure drop, viscous resistance.

Abstract: Mathematical Models are the actual physical processes represented by a set of appropriate equations. The combustion process involved in the Gas turbine can be predicted using the Mathematical Modeling. The conservation of mass, momentum and Energy plays a vital role in the combustion process. Standard K-ὲ models are used to predict the reaction rate and turbulent viscosity. The main goal of this job it is to show the combustion models applied for an annular combustion chamber for small gas turbines, considering aspects about the speed, pressure and temperature, which can be used to feature the flame behavior and its effects in efficiency and pollution emission. The Alternative fuels have been chosen in such a way that the emission is low as well as good performance characteristics like conventional fuel. The performance parameters like Combustion Efficiency, Combustion Intensity, and Adiabatic flame Temperature and Mixture fraction has been obtained by using the Mathematical Modeling. Without carry out the experimental Work one can predict the Performance by using Mathematical Modeling .The Modeling is performed in MATLAB Simulink package and how the Performance parameters varies in relation with the changes in the variables like mass flow rate, initial temperature and Combustion pressure has been discussed and plotted in a effective way. The Results of various Alternative fuels have been compared effectively.

Abstract: The CNG Engines play a dominant role in transportation and energy production. The CNG engine is an environment-friendly engine, which causes drastic reduction in emission to the environment by using CNG as a fuel in IC engine. Spark plugs work by sending small; high-voltage electrical sparks across a gap between two metal electrodes Spark plugs can ignite leaner fuel mixtures, but only by increasing spark energy. Unfortunately spark plug cannot ignite leaner air-fuel mixture for long time it produce exhaust emission as well as reduce the efficiency of engine. ON the other hand, Laser ignition system of engines represents a more and more realistic alternative to traditional spark plug or high-frequency ignition approaches. Its ability to ignite extremely lean mixtures of fuel and air allows one to efficiently reduce the NOX concentrations in the exhaust gases, which are associated with potential long-lived ignition components. In this project, an overview of the laser parameters necessary to ignite the most common lean burn air-fuel mixtures for CNG engines is presented. Furthermore, a novel approach for multipoint laser ignition is discussed as a viable path for speeding up the long combustion durations of lean mixtures. Finally, an innovative approach to compact, robust, and relatively cheap laser ignition is described, which involves miniature laser systems. The passively Q-switched laser head is ideally mounted on each cylinder, while the optical pump should be located far away. Ignition energies in the range of slightly more than 1mj per pulse are realized with the involvement of perfect optical focusing.

Abstract: An impeller is a rotating component of a centrifugal pump, usually made of iron, steel, bronze, brass, aluminum or plastic, which transfers energy from the motor that drives the pump to the fluid being pumped by accelerating the fluid outwards from the center of rotation. The velocity achieved by the impeller transfers into pressure when the outward movement of the fluid is confined by the pump casing. Impellers are usually short cylinders with an open inlet (called an eye) to accept incoming fluid, vanes to push the fluid radially, and a splined, keyed or threaded bore to accept a drive-shaft.The modeling of the impeller was done by using solid modeling software, CATIA V5 R18. It is proposed to design a blower with composite material, analyze its strength and deformation using FEM software. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of composites and metal blower and impeller using FEA packaged (ANSYS). Modal analysis is performed on both Aluminum and composite centrifugal blower impeller to find out first 5 natural frequencies.
