INNOVATIVE AND NOVEL CONCEPT IN RIVER SURFACE CLEANING USING RIVER TRASH SKIMMER OF ZERO EMISSIONS – IT’S IMPLEMENTATION, APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
Abstract: With the increase in global plastic pollution in rivers and lakes which is adversely affecting the human and aquatic life. In this paper we present the design and analysis of Zero emission River Trash Cleaner (z-RTC) which is a electrically operated self-propelled floater with trash collecting arms and trash processing plant on the floater. The z-RTC collects the trash and the processing plant on the floater separates the plastic from …

PERFORMANCE AND EMISSION ANALYSIS OF RAPESEED METHYL ESTER BLENDS AS ALTERNATE FUEL FOR DIESEL ENGINE APPLICATIONS
Abstract: Air pollution at sea is due to exhaust emissions from the marine diesel engines of cargo ships, tugs, passenger and patrolling vessels, and motorboats. The emissions from marine engines cause human health hazards like cancer in the lungs, cardio problems, effects the healthy environment, ozone layer depletion and global warming. Rapeseed methyl ester (RME) blends with diesel fuel is one of the best alternate fuels to reduce the exhaust emissions …

Aerodynamic and Hydrodynamic Study of Offshore Wind Turbine Foundation
Abstract: Wind is an excellent source of renewable energy As the requirement of energy is increasing day by day thenon-renewable energy sources get deficient in fulfillingthe requirement, offshore windmills are the need to be focused towards the sustainable development. This study focuses on investigating the fixed jacket type offshore structure considering environmental loadings such as aerodynamic loading considered in all direction and hydrodynamic loading causes due to wave which act as …

Improvements in Wear Resistance by Hardfacing
Abstract: Wear of hardfacing appears from additive effects of abrasion, erosion, corrosion and impact in real cases where material under handling varies between dry states to damp/slurry state. Abrasion of hardfacing is a study of gouging abrasion, high stress grinding abrasion, and low stress scratching abrasion or erosion. Impacts of abrasive particulates induce additive effects to wear and material loss by embrittlement effects of carbides. Corrosion of hardfacing appears from galvanic, …

A Review Study of Offshore Structure
Abstract: Seaward development is the establishment of structures and offices in a marine situation, as a rule for the generation and transmission of power, oil, gas and different assets. Earthquake design of offshore platforms in seismic active areas is one of the most important parts in offshore platforms design. Dynamic response of piles in offshore platforms is a function of the Characteristics of the loading, dynamic pile-soil interaction behaviour and dynamic …
