Abstract: Rapid industrialization and urbanization in India leads to development of industries resulting in discharge of by-products, effluent wastes being a great challenge to Civil Engineering community. Due to intrusions of alkaline effluent into the soil has change the compaction and strength behaviour of soil effluent matrix. In this paper silk dyeing effluent has been mixed with expansive soil and compaction and strength tests has been conducted as per IS guidelines. From the test results, it has been found that addition of alkaline effluent in soil has reduced the Maximum Dry Density to about 3.5%. The Unconfined Compressive Strength tests conducted to their Optimum Moisture Content and Maximum Dry Density. These tests were continued for varying curing periods. Soil treated with 30% alkaline effluent has shown 2 folds increase in the strength compared to other combinations.

Keywords: Folds, Matrix, Maximum Dry Density

Title	:	Development of an Experimental Biomass Micro gasifier Cook Stove
Country	:	Kenya
Authors	:	Patrick Wamalwa || Prof, David Nyaanga || Dr, George Owino

Abstract: Laboratory testing shows that only 15% of the energy produced by a carefully tended three stone fire is transfered to the cooking pot and 85% is lost to the enviroment. Indoor air pollution resulting from ineficient burning of biomass in traditional cook stove is also major health hazard affecting around 2.7 people globally according to World Health Organisation. This is expected to grow especially with continual use of biomass for cooking hence need for efficient energy conversion technologies. Most stoves based on the principle of gasification have improved thermal eficiencies and low emissions, however, they have adoption problem due to lighting, material used and characterization........

Abstract: The increasingly modern urbanized world together with its modernization, technological and industrialization trends have led to an explosive growth of city population with gradually increasing need of smart cities. In the context of Smart City worldwide, built environments play a much important role and are used to convey useful information that can be used to realize Smart City goals. Conventionally, information models are used only during the planning and construction phases. In the Smart City phase however, the
situation is gradually changing. During the operation phase, projects are now producing more data than before. This paper majorly covers futuristic and sustainable smart cities and the technologies used. It looks especially at BIM and its role as a catalyst in the development........

Abstract: Cost is one of the main parameters for the success of a project. Earned Value Analysis is a method to check the actual project progress and compare the actual cost incurred to the value of the work performed. This technique is very useful in comparing the budgeted cost of work to the actual cost. Earned Value analysis is very valuable in determining profits and losses and the total cost overhead during the project. Using Earned Value analysis provides us the means to determine the activity which is contributing to the project delay and increase in cost. It is a powerful tool to control project progress and cost. The objective of the research is to provide advantages and also to discuss the main aspects.......

Abstract: In Industries it is essential to have precise and accurate control on the flow of fluid at various operations as per requirement for optimum and efficient working of plant. This can be achieved by proper valve sizing and accurate plug design as per the required flow characteristics. Here we have a developed a method to obtain the plug profile required to have the desired fluid flow characteristics depending on type of fluid and flow parameters. In this method, a random plug shape with size in accordance with size of valve (DN50) is taken. Using the modeling and CFD Analysis software, fluid flow analysis is done with proper input parameters at multiple plug location between fully open and closed condition. Pressure drop is obtained as a result at all the points, which gives the empirical relation between valve flow co-efficient Cv and fluid flow area

Title	:	Effects of Suction/Injection on Transient Couette Basic Gaseous Fluctuating-Micro-Flow
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Ashafa Sani || Abiodun O. Ajibade || Haruna M. Jibril
	:	10.9790/1684-1405055662

Abstract: The transient Couette fluctuating-micro-flow where the upper plate moves with sinusoidal velocity while the bottom plate remained stationary is investigated in this study. The flow problem is modelled and the analytical solution is obtained. The effects of suction/injection and that of other leading flow parameters such as the frequency of the fluctuating driving force, the Knudsen number and the unsteadiness are analyzed, and numerical values for skin friction are obtained. It is found from the study that both suction and injection retard the velocity of the fluid.
