A Review on Design of Radiant Cooling Concept with Room Floor and Walls
Abstract: AbstractRadiant cooling is concept in which room temperature is maintained by the radiant effect of pipe which contain cold or hot flowing water, with lower or higher temperature than its surroundings. Heat or cold will be absorbed by the flowing water of pipes. This system uses building floors, walls or ceilings for the installation of radiant pipes. In the research work, it is aimed to design an effective pipe design …

Natural Convection Agricultural Solar Dryer
Abstract: AbstractA solar air heater has been built with waste plastic bottles as a solar collector for drying agricultural crops. The lower part of each cylindrical collector (Plastic bottles of 1.2m in length and 0.07m of diameter) was black painted (30% of the surface area) and attached to greenhouse to dry the crops. The performance of the solar dryer was carried out with and without plastic bubble wrapper film on the …

Efficiency Improvements in Domestic LPG Burner
Abstract: AbstractExperiments are conducted on the domestic LPG burner with porous material as preheating and combustion medium. The burner consist of two layers of porous medium. The combustion zone is made up of silicon carbide and metal chips. The stainless-steel balls as preheating zone. The performance of the domestic LPG conventional burner is calculated in terms of heating efficiency for the different thermal inputs(Wattages) and results are compared with that of …
