Thermal Modeling of Open Sun Drying System: An Experimental Validation
Abstract: In the work being presented, the expressions for crop and moist air temperatures of open sun drying system in quasi - static state conditions have been derived. The analysis was carried out by writing energy balance equations for crop surface and moist air above the crop surface. A computer model was developed to predict the crop temperature and moisture evaporation rate of potato slices of approximately 2.5 mm thickness exposed …

E-Waste and Bio-Hydrometallurgical Recovery of Gold: A Review
Abstract: Current recycling and processing of e-waste are managed almost entirely by the informal sector or the unskilled labour in India. These amounts are about 95%. They adopt crude recycling activities. These cause irreversible health and environmental hazards. Also the loss of valuable materials results.This is due to the poor recovery of base and precious metals. Recycling done by the unskilled labour has been disclosed and an alternative recycling strategy which …

Seagrass: A Store House of Carbon
Abstract: We analyzed stored carbon in the Above Ground Biomass (AGB) and Below Ground Biomass (BGB) of three seagrass species in Koswari, Kariyachalli and Vilanguchalli during March, 2014 at Gulf of Mannar. Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) was also monitored simultaneously to evaluate the amount of stored carbon in the underlying soil of the intertidal mud flat in the study area. In the selected quadrate, the order of abundance of the seagrass …

Canny Street Lighting System
Abstract: Enhancing and creating the conventional road lighting is unrealistic any more. The element changes in economy and vitality supplies require a sufficient modernization of road lighting. On the other hand, this would be conceivable just with another useful conception which indeed means versatility of road lighting. In similarity with the 24 h change of sunlight, the exceedingly variably traffic, the variable meteorological conditions and some great circumstances on the streets, …
