Solar Energy is one of the most abundant renewable sources of energy and free on planet earth. For water mounted solar photovoltaic systems, HDPE material is found to be best suited for the manufacturing of floating bed structure. The major limitation in this regard is the effect of UV radiations present in the natural environment that leads to the...
The atmospheric pollution from the aviation industry can be decreased through the consumption of Renewable Energy (RE) based electricity generation for airport operations. Among the various RE technologies, the solar PV system is most suitable in the airport environment. The technical performance of the solar PV system installed on the premises of...
Imagine if Mahatma Gandhiji were reborn today. What profound advice would he offer to the young generation facing the challenges of the 21st century? His counsel would likely resonate with a single, powerful concept: "Sustainalism." In this narrative, we present "Sustainalism" as a truly transformative and sustainable global solution. To comprehend...
Soot emission or carbon black is considered as a major challenge recently. Generally, internal combustion engines have been introduced as the main source of these materials specially in urban areas. Different methods are proposed to control soot emission of diesel engine such as DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) which is attached to the engine exhaus...
Sustainability has become a focus area for practitioners and scholars due to the growing socio-economic issues. The sustainability of airport operations is being raised in various international platforms. This paper aims to identify the dimensions of sustainability and evaluate sustainable practices in airports of selected ASEAN countries. The vari...
Solar PV development gained airport operators' attention in the wake of its negligible carbon emission and onsite electricity generation. The solar PV projects in airports cater to its energy, economic and environmental needs. A comprehensive study on multi-dimensional performance aspects of the airport-based solar PV system is not presented anywhe...
Due to the concerns with harmful emissions, airports have a great interest in solar photovoltaic technology. On the one hand, the vacant land areas in the airport can house solar PV arrays. On the other hand, there is an aviation safety issue due to the reflections from the solar PV arrays. This paper aims to perform a glare analysis of a conceptua...
There is a growing interest in airport-based solar PV systems. At the same time, there is the possibility of glare from the solar PV array, which is a potential aviation safety issue. This paper's main objective is to estimate the technical solar power potential of an airport and assess glare impact for six different scenarios of PV array. These co...
In the present work, simulation and energy analysis of a grid-tied 100 kWp solar photovoltaic power plant mounted on an institute's building rooftop in Bhopal city of India are carried out. The present study provides insight into the solar power plant's performance linked to the medium range grid under actual operating conditions in Central India....

India is very rich in solar energy, with a total of 3000 sunshine hours annually in most places. The installation of on-grid rooftop electricity-generation photovoltaic (PV) systems is currently undergoing substantial growth and extension as an alternate source of energy that contributes to Indian buildings. This paper analyses the viability of mou...
Graphene has attracted much attention from various researchers because of its enhanced mechanical, thermal, and physio-chemical properties. Graphene exhibits high thermal conductivity and stability, less erosion and corrosion than other available nanoparticles. Various existing literature signifies a large portion of the research focuses on stabili...

The quality of the drying process depends mainly on the efficient use of thermal energy. Sustainable systems based on solar energy takes a leading role in the drying of agro-products because of low operating cost. However, they are limited in use during off–sun periods. Biomass dryer is one of the simplest ways of drying because of its potential to...
Energy is one of the most essential parts of our universe. Energy has come to be known as a ‘strategic commodity’ and any uncertainty about its supply can threaten the functioning of the entire economy. Sun is the plentiful source of energy freely & enormously available throughout the world. Solar energy is considered to be one of the more encourag...
Microalgae can become completely faster than terrestrial plants and are a successful feedstock for viable appreciation including items that envelop pharmaceuticals, neutraceuticals, proteins and most significantly biofuels. Since the biomass productivity of microalgae absolutely depends emphatically on the temperature of development, point-by-point...
The rising concern about environmental pollution and the risk of exhausting non-recoverable energy sources led to the exploration of alternate energy resources. The extensive deployment of Solar PV systems across the world can be seen in recent years which is mainly due to the government programmes/schemes in favor of renewable energy. The problem-...
The harmful effect of global warming is nightmare in all spheres of earth especially coastal cities and societies. In this context, the role of solar PV installations in the mitigation of carbon footprint is relevant. The airport lands are relatively new application of solar PV and are in evolving stage. This paper discusses about the role of airpo...
Solar energy is the most abundant source of energy on the earth and considered as an important alternativeto fossil fuels. Solar energy can be converted into electric energy by using two different processes:photovoltaic conversion and the thermodynamic cycles. Lifetime and efficiency of PV power plant is lesseras compared to the CSP technology. CSP...
The main objective of this study is to analyze the drying behavior of cashew nut experimentally in a so- lar biomass hybrid dryer using mathematical models. Suitability of fifteen different mathematical drying models available in the literature is used to describe the drying characteristics of cashew. Experimen- tal data of moisture ratio, temperat...
The study was conducted to investigate the energy consumption pattern in small scale cashew nut processing industries located in Panruti taluk, Cuddalore district, Tamilnadu, India (Latitude 15º 11′ and 12º 35′; Longitude 78º 38′ and 80º 0′). Three different small cashew processing industries based on the fuel used for drying of cashew kernel are c...
In view of ever increasing global demand for energy, there has been substantial interest in developing renewable biologically produced fuel.

I am able to get a graph of hydrogen loading per cell for specific pressures. We don't get data set in material studio when we do adsorption study . So how to determine the u hydrogen uptake %.H2 uptake from the absolute adsorption amount (Nab) for various Pressure condition(Low,Medium and high).Wee have calculated adsorption loading (per cell) vs pressure but in the literature, they have found out hydrogen uptake(wt%) vs pressure which we don’t know
I want all the relavant formula and equations to perform the exergy analysis of a simple gas turbine power plant .Kindly share some papers,articles ,book reference, pdf and write up on the same .Thank you.
