Techno-economical Analysis of Biodiesel Production using Castor Oil: An Indian Approach
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Biodiesel is an alternative biodegradable and nontoxic fuel, which is essentially free of sulphur and aromatics. It is usually produced by a trans-esterification reaction of vegetable or waste oil with a low molecular weight alcohol, such as ethanol and methanol. Industrially, the most common method for biodiesel production is a basic homogeneous reaction. Hence, this work presents the trans-esterification of castor …

REBONDING FOREST FIBRE TO SUSTAINABLE DEPLOYMENT
Abstract: The significance of wood in artistic manipulations is unraveled to any other material used in engineering, commercial or in infrastructural uses. All this is at the cost of eco-sustainability, not directly because manufacturing remains ecofriendly, but indirectly; because forests are expended in realization of this raw material. The author pre-supposes that with the mere thought of cutting a tree, environmental degradation has already begun [1]. As a preventive measure, least …

Signatures of Increasing Energy Demand of Past Two Decades as Captured in Rain Water Composition and Airmass Trajectory Analysis at Delhi (India)
Abstract: This study reports chemical characteristics of rain water in Delhi during monsoon (2010–11) with a comparison to earlier reported values of 1994. The results showed that non-marine sources had significant influence on rain water composition. The pH of the samples varied from 5.24 to 7.48 with an average value of 6.52 showing an alkaline nature of rain water. However, the dominance of NO3− over SO42− indicated higher influence of vehicular …

Damping Techniques for Controlling Edgewise Vibration of Wind Turbine Blades
Abstract: AbstractEdgewise vibrations with low aerodynamic damping are of particular concern in modern multi-megawatt wind turbines, as large amplitude cyclic oscillations may significantly shorten the life-time of wind turbine components, and even lead to structural damages or failures. In this paper, five types of damping methods are studied. The tuned liquid dampers utilize the sloshing motion of the fluid to suppress structural vibrations and become a natural candidate for damping vibrations …
