Design, Simulation, Installation and Economic Analysis of 50kW Grid Connected Solar PV System
Abstract: AbstractThis study aimed to develope a standard procedure for the design of Gridconnected solar PV systems using the roofs of buildings. The standard procedure developed was validated in the design of a 50 kW Grid-connected solar PV system for Vijayaraje Institute of Science and Management (VISM), Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. The project began with a pre-feasibility study of a 50kW Grid-conducted solar PV system using meteonorm software developed by meteotest. …

Performance and Emission Analysis of Different Alcoholic-Blended Fuels in Spark-Ignition Engines
Abstract: AbstractThis research paper focuses on the assessment of the optimal solution of the twin crisis of fossil fuels and environmental degradation. This research paper focuses on engine performance and emission analysis. In order to tackle this problem, an experimental investigation of constant speed and varying load have been performed on a single cylinder spark ignition engine by using different blends of gasoline and pure gasoline fuel. The parameters taken into …

An Experimental Study on Design and Fabrication of Sheet and Tube Type PVT Collector
Abstract: AbstractA hybrid system composed of a photovoltaic (PV) module integrated with a thermal unit is fabricated and tested in outdoor conditions. The system has been installed at MITS, Gwalior and its thermal analysis has been done experimentally. In our experimental work, water is used as a working fluid and pit coarse sand is used as an insulator. Experimentally it is observed that the thermal efficiency of the system is also …

A New Approach to Analyze the Performance of Flat Plate Collector
Abstract: AbstractAs per standards, the thermal efficiency test for the flat plate collector is used to be conducted under specified steady state conditions and then incident angle modifier ‘Kτα’ has been used to calculate the thermal efficiency at a different angle of incidence. These standards do not consider the effect of solar azimuth angle, as well as time consumption and require the costly test setup. In this paper, a new approach …

Analysis of Effect of Human Hair in Compressive and Split Tensile Strength of Concrete
Abstract: AbstractThis research paper presents the analysis of the effect of human hair in compressive and split tensile strength of concrete. In the recent time due to a significant increase in population increases large amount of human hairs. Human hairs are strong in tension and it also reduces greater impact, abrasions and shatter resistances in concrete and prevents many problems in this environment. Fiber reinforcement improves the impact strength and fatigue …

Experimental Study on Corrosion of Steel in Coarse Aggregate Medium
Abstract: AbstractThere are many practical situations were steel exposed to coarse aggregate. Deterioration of steel in such case it depends upon the nature of coarse aggregate, especially the types and the concentration of ions present in the moisture within the coarse aggregate since coarse aggregate vary in nature it is necessary to understand the nature of corrosion of steel in each samples of coarse aggregate. This aspect was taken for the …

Paper Production from Flower: Recycling of Flower Waste
Abstract: AbstractThis proposal provides an alternative approach for solid waste management. Solid waste is usually landfilled or incinerated, the volume of solid waste that can be recycled is found to be minimal. This approach will focus on reducing the solid floral waste. India is a country where religion and festivals are part of our lives; we usually worship by providing offerings mostly flowers, coconut, and fruits. Flowers are been widely used …
