Synergistic Approach to Exhaust Gas Treatment: A ‘One Stack’ Solution
Abstract: Taking cue from global changes, humankind is always in a race against time to come up with pertinent technologies that would cater to their ever-evolving requirements. As we magnify into the highprecision kinetic models of the current exhaust gas systems deployed onboard ships, we evaluate the substantial presence of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, particulate matter, and other harmful pollutants. Releasing these gases to the atmosphere, untreated, can have …

Beach Profile Analysis of Moheshkhali Island to Develop Marine Spatial Planning: Planning for Blue Economy
Abstract: This research discusses the work on beach or coastal profiling done to develop marine spatial planning (MSP) methodology at Moheshkhali Island that will use the systems approach to use the beach area for economic development. Survey transects following shore normal from the dune to the low water line are commonly used to monitor beach profile. Coastal and beach monitoring studies and management processes benefit from the information provided by beach …

Cost and Quantity Comparative of DLCS and PCS Tower Structures in Conveyor Belt Systems
Abstract: This research paper focuses on the study of transfer tower structures in conveyor belt systems isrecently used in industries for the transfer material to one place to another place. These framedstructures facilitate the smooth transfer of bulk materials from one conveyor belt to another, ensuringa seamless flow throughout the system. Transfer towers serve as crucial junction points in materialconveying, accommodating various conveyor system geometries, orientations, and elevations. Theobjective of the …

Plastic Pollution from River to Ocean: A Comprehensive Review in Indian Scenario
Abstract: Plastic represents a substantial environmental hazard, contributing to contamination of terrestrial,aquatic, and atmospheric ecosystems. This category comprises a diverse range of polymers. In the formof microplastics and nanoplastics, it can induce toxicity in water bodies. Plastic debris not onlyphysically pollutes freshwater, but also chemically, undergoing changes over time due to hydroclimaticeffects. Rivers serve as conduits, transporting plastics from minor tributaries to major rivers andultimately into the ocean, endangering marine life. …

Bladeless Offshore Wind Turbines
Abstract: The goal of this paper is to define the structural characteristics of a vertical single-blade wind turbine operating under oscillatory movement due to the wave motion and vibrational forces provided by the wind to the assembly. This new type of turbine can change the current landscape of wind energy. They can expand the generated self-consumption produced by wind energy, which is currently low, and take advantage of the free space …
