Analytical Design of 1 kW Capacity Lithium Bromide/Water Absorption Refrigeration System
Abstract: AbstractIn current era, the energy scarcity is the key concern. In this context, new alternative environment-friendly energy resources have to be explored. The researchers are focusing more on effective and efficient use of energy. The difference in demand and production of energy opens a new arena of heat recovery systems. Vapour absorption refrigeration systems (VARS) are one of the prominent heat recovery systems powered by heat, and can be powered …

Mechanical Performance Degradation of Naturally Aged Nitrile Butadiene Rubber in Low Frequency Range...
Abstract: For good mechanical design, damping is often still an invisible requirement. Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) has a wide range of applications as a damping and sealing material. To offer the long-term service of NBR, it is important to estimate the degradation of modal properties under complex mechanical and environmental loading. The present work aims to correlate the experimental data with generalized higher-order Maxwell models and curve fitting techniques to find …

Quantification and Forecasting of Plastic waste in Gorakhpur city, India
Abstract: Plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental threats faced by human society, especially in cities like Gorakhpur, which have minimal resources for waste management but a very high amount of waste that keeps on increasing day by day. The purpose of this research is to determine the total amount of plastic waste (PW) generated in Gorakhpur city and forecast plastic waste generation. The snowball sampling method was used for …

A Review on Life Cycle Assessment of Solar Photovoltaic Electricity Generation Systems
Abstract: A popular system for calculating the environmental effects of energy systems from conception to death is life cycle assessment, or LCA. As a low-carbon generation technology, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have fast spread throughout the world. The various PV technologies (monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin-film), system scales (residential, commercial, utility), industrial locations, balance of system (BOS) configurations, and end-of-life (EoL) scenarios are all covered in this review of published life cycle assessment …

Role of Cement and Fly Ash in Soil Stabilization
Abstract: Soil stabilization changes the engineering properties of soil and produces strength and stability. Use of industrial wastes and manufactured materials in soil stabilization can be cost effective and environmental friendly. As there is a growth of habitations surrounding the PSIT campus, therefore, soil samples collected from this area were analyzed for its plasticity index properties. It was found that soils of this area come under low plastic category. Hence, the …

Review On BIM-Based (Revit+Robot Software) Comparative Wind Load Analysis of High-Rise RCC Buildings in Zone-III, IV and V
Abstract: Wind load is one of the most critical factors influencing the design and serviceability of high-rise reinforced concrete (RCC) buildings. As building height increases, wind-induced effects such as storey drift, lateral displacement, and structural stiffness become dominant design considerations. Numerous studies have been conducted using conventional and advanced techniques such as Finite Element Method (FEM), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Building Information Modelling (BIM). However, limited research focuses on comparative …

Efficacy of Selected Yoga Practices on WHO – Quality of Life (BREF) With and Without Modified Diet and Lifestyle in Healthy Adults
Abstract: Quality of life (QoL) is crucial as it balances physical health, mental well-being, and emotional satisfaction, which are often compromised by people. Prioritizing QoL enhances overall happiness and productivity, reduces chronic health issues, and fosters stronger social connections. It is a multidimensional concept that has a direct impact on physical, psychological, and social well-being. The prevalence of QoL is influenced by factors, such as economic conditions, healthcare access, education, and …

Analysis of an Extradosed Bridge with Single Plane Cable System
Abstract: The extradosed bridge is a bridge that combines elements of a cable-stayed bridge and a prestressed concrete box-girder bridge. This innovative design offers several advantages, including improved aesthetics, reduced construction costs, and enhanced durability. The extradosed cable system provides additional support to the bridge deck while maintaining a lower overall height compared to traditional cable-stayed bridges. This feature makes extradosed bridges particularly suitable for environments where height restrictions are a …
