Co-Doping of Titanium Dioxide with Zinc and Nitrogen for Improvement of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Performance
Abstract: Energy will be one of the major problems all over the world in coming decades, as the natural energy sources will be exhausted soon. Solar energy will be a best alternative energy sources to solve this problem. Different types of solar cells have been fabricated for solar energy conversion into electricity. In the present work, dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) has been fabricated by co-doping of TiO2 with Zn (metal) …

A Comprehensive Analysis of The Advances in Green Buildings Sector
Abstract: The realization that much of the conventional, modern approaches to building construction are not sustainable over the long term is not new. As a consequence, the concept of green building is gaining importance in the present energy scenario and related environmental issues. This paper seeks to review the developments in the context of green buildings that have occurred in the past decade or so. These developments in turn are poised …

Digital Solar Distillation and Pasteurization System
Abstract: Pure drinking water is limited, in both coastal area and heavily populated area which makes people drink impure, unhygienic water from supply. This water can be easily purified and drinkable by utilizing abundant solar energy available in these areas. This following project is a combined design where both solar distillation and solar pasteurization can be performed automatically inside the same chamber. Also the system is designed in such a way …

Synthesis of CaCl2.6H2O by Using Phase Diagram and Verification of its Ability to Remain as a Hexahydrate at Various Thermal Effects
Abstract: Antarcticite (CaCl2.6H2O) is one of the salt hydrate forms of Calcium chloride. It has a specific application in energy storage systems at ambient temperature, since its melting point is around 29ºC. During the conventional synthesis of Antarcticite, a risk of other hydrates crystallization is there. An experimental procedure is designed through binary melting phase diagram for selective crystallization of Antarcticite from aqueous CaCl2 solution. The melting and recrystallization behavior of …

Effect of Compression Ratio and Fuel Injection Pressure on the Performance and Emissions of a CI Engine with Methyl Esters of Pongamia Oil
Abstract: Diesel fueled compression ignition engines are invariably used in light, medium and heavy duty applications. Heavy dependence on petroleum derived diesel fuel has led to the twin problems of loss of exchequer and environmental pollution. The intensive research revealed that transesterified vegetable oils could be the best substitute for existing diesel engines. The present paper deals with experimental investigations on a typical compression ignition engine when it was run at …
