Application of GIS tools to the Improvement of Energy Supply in PV Rooftop Installations
Abstract: Present work studies the energy supply from photovoltaic (PV) installations in industrial conglomerates using the rooftops as a surface to install the PV panels. The study is based on a modelling procedure that takes into account the specific characteristics of the rooftop, shape, size, azimuth and inclination, using GIS tools to identify these parameters for every single rooftop. Modelling has been developed modifying the tilt angle of the PV panel …

Design and Development of Onion Storage Shade for Better Ventilation and Longer Life
Abstract: Onions are one of the most important cash crops for farmers in India and many other countries. However, most harvested onions are lost every year due to improper storage. Traditional storage methods, such as keeping onions in heaps under trees, in closed rooms, or in poorly ventilated sheds, do not provide sufficient airflow. As a result, moisture accumulates, leading to sprouting, fungal growth, rotting, and physical damage. These losses reduce …

Heat Stress Mitigation in Resource-Constrained Dairy Farming Systems: Practical Strategies for Sustainable Development
Abstract: Heat stress poses a critical threat to dairy production, particularly in resource-constrained systems prevalent across tropical and subtropical regions. Elevated ambient temperatures, compounded by high humidity, directly impair feed intake, milk yield, reproductive efficiency, and overall animal welfare. In low-resource settings, conventional cooling technologies such as automated fans, sprinklers, and climate-controlled housing remain economically inaccessible. Therefore, cost-effective, locally adaptable, and sustainable solutions are essential for maintaining productivity and animal health. …

Utilization of Banana Peel Biopolymer as a Natural Coagulant for Wastewater Treatment: A Sustainable Approach to Bio-Composite Applications
Abstract: This study explores an eco-innovative approach to wastewater treatment by utilizing banana peel powder (BPP) as a sustainable, low-cost bio-coagulant. Although effective, conventional chemical coagulants like aluminum sulfate and synthetic polymers are often non-biodegradable, toxic, and economically burdensome, particularly in decentralized or low-resource settings. In contrast, BPP—an agro-waste material rich in bioactive functional groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, and phenolic compounds—provides a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative. To enhance its …

Simulation of Flow Vorticity and Instability Analysis in a Solid Rocket Motor
Abstract: Combustion instability is a major problem in most solid rocket motor (SRM) during its operation. More form of instability is generated due to several factors like coupling of combustion acoustic waves with flow dynamics, grain configuration, combustion chamber design, combustible mixture, etc. This type of flow turbulence is sustained in such system for long durations and leads to failure of the mission. In this paper, an effort has been made …

Design and Fabrication of Thermal Insulated Overhead Water Tanks
Abstract: Overhead water containers are essential for storing water in residential and commercial structures, but because of varying weather, they are sometimes subject to extreme temperature swings. During the summer, the average temperature regularly surpasses 50°C. In residential and commercial structures, above water tanks are essential for water garages; but, due to changing climate conditions, they may be subjected to high temperature changes on a regular basis. The tanks are primarily …
