A new method of phytoplankton concentration as a cycle of solving environmental problems and obtaining energy from high-quality biofuel (lipid oil)
Abstract: The stagnant zones of fresh lakes, formed due to increased reproduction of phytoplankton in stagnant water under the influence of the sun, pose a serious threat to the environment, leading to the death of phytoplankton and fish, releasing hydrogen sulfide and making the water unsuitable even for agricultural use. In this regard, the development of a method for concentrating phytoplankton from "green water" becomes an urgent task associated not only …

Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Friction Stir Welded AA6063 Joints
Abstract: Friction Stir Welding is often referred as the joining technology of next generation because of its multiple advantages over the existing conventional processes. It is a solid state joining process which is free from the requirement of filler wire, consumable material, harmful gaseous emissions and also provides smooth surface with better surface finish. Moreover since no third additive material is involved hence, the microstructure of the welded joint also bears …

Parameters Optimization of EDM of AISI 316 Stainless Steel Material using RSM
Abstract: In this paper, cutting of SS316 material using electro discharge machining (EDM) with a copper electrode using RSM technique is discussed. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the earliest non-traditional machining processes [1]. These methodologies are used to analyze the effect of each parameter on the machining characteristics and to predict the optimal choice for each EDM parameter such as peak current, gap voltage and pulse on time. It …

Use of Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods in Assessment of Occupational Safety and Health
Abstract: Assessment of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) of process plants is an important aspect in safety management. Quantitative assessment is necessary to compare the OSH status of different plants. For this purpose, usually, an evaluation team is constituted which evaluates the OSH performance based on the available OSH related information. The evaluation team arrives at a decision through discussions and mutual agreement. However, while working in a group, there always …
