Abstract :- Algae are among the most potentially significant sources of sustainable biofuels in the future of renewable energy. Algae are single-cell organisms that thrive in fresh or brackish water and convert CO2 into carbohydrates, protein, and natural oils. Potential uses of the algae include biodiesel, biofuel for use in electricity production, fodder for livestock, food and chemicals, colorants, perfumes and vitamins. The main goal of research is to optimize the algae growth by varying different parameters like temperature, pH and nutrient variations, etc. The work done in this paper was on selected microalgae named Spirulina maxima and the main focus was to investigate the effect of change in media composition, temperature variations, and pH variations on the microalgal growth. By changing one parameter and the others keep constant, a particular temperature and pH was obtained at which the growth obtained was maximum. After that all optimum parameters are applied and the precise results obtained for this particular microalga was at the precise temperature of 270C and pH of 9. At last comparison of growth between two different cultivation methods, one is Tray culture cultivation and other is in a Photobioreactor was monitored at precise conditions. The growth observed in a Photobioreactor was about 1.2 to 1.5 times higher than the Tray culture cultivation. Finally, from this work it was found that the maximum growth obtained is at 270C, at 9 pH and in a Photobioreactor.

Abstract: Amino resins are an important class of cross-linkers for industrial coatings. Amino resins are formed when amine or amide such as urea or melamine reacts with an aldehyde and is known as Urea formaldehyde resins. It is modified with butanol, makes butylated urea formaldehyde resins (BUFR). BUFR can cure with different resins such as alkyd resins, epoxy resins etc. Curing is the cross linking or hardening of material with catalysts. In this process, we have made a resin material hard by adding the curing agents and in presence of energy. There are number of applications of the curing (i.e. fast coating, in making the composite material, etc.). There are mainly three parameters which affecting the rate of curing, temperature, concentration of curing agent and the thickness of layer. We have been studied the curing effects on BUF resins with curing agent PTSA (p-Toluene Sulphonic Acid). The curing is done by the thermal curing procedure. There are mainly five experiments are performed for different B/U mole ratios. All are modify with alkyd resins. The concentration of curing agent varies by 5%, 10% and 15% and the thickness of the coating layer varies by 100 microns and 200 microns. The temperature varies from 40 to 800C. It has been studied that three parameters vary and make the changes into the rate of curing. Experimental results show, when Butanol to Urea B/U mole ratio gives higher rate of curing. We also studied that, by increasing the concentration of curing agent increases the rate of curing. The thickness of layer of 100 microns will give higher rate of curing as compare to the 200 microns. It means less the thickness of the coating give the higher rate of curing. The XRD analysis has been done here for the modified resins. It gives the information about the interpeak spacing between the molecules and by which the bonding stability can be understand. If the interpeak spacing between the molecules will be high, the curing will not fulfill. If interpeak spacing will be high, the layer will not cure properly.

Abstract: Solar stills were used for water purification in rural areas with lack of water in the fair climatic conditions. Different types of phase change material is used with solar still in all the papers with the view of enhancing productivity. It acts as latent heat thermal energy storage system (LHTESS). It is mostly used beneath the absorber plate to get the distilled water during cloudy & winter days, particularly at night. It changes its phase by adding & removal of heat. This article provides the detailed review of studies on different types of solar still with different phase change material (PCM). Numerical and analytical calculations were performed with & without PCM & thermal performance of the still were also compared in sunny & cloudy days. This review also thrown light on effect of mass of PCM and basin water on the productivity & efficiency of the system. Productivity & efficiency is the main concern.

Abstract: Carbon dioxide (CO2) has been identified as the most significant greenhouse gas arising from anthropogenic activities.Presently, atmospheric levels of CO2 are thought to be about 25% higher than in pre-industrial times. It is of great importance to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions in order to counteract global warming.
The aim of the doing this project is to reduce the economical emissions of carbon dioxide with the help of reformer unit in the steel plants.by designing a best and economical process way for installing reformer unit in all small scales to large scale industries.so by this way we can join our hands in saving our environment..

Abstract: In the present study an attempt has been made to estimate the settlement characteristics of model reinforced cement concrete mono-piles embedded in sandy soils of various relative densities. It is further aimed to know percentage increase in settlement characteristics of mono-pile by increasing artificially skin friction of pile using fine granules applied on pile surface. Piles are embedded in sandy soils which are compacted at various relative densities. Monopiles of various slenderness ratios (l/d) are casted in laboratory with proper reinforcement using M25 equivalent grade of concrete. Piles with l/d ratio equal to 4, 6 and 8 are taken for model testing. To carry out settlement model test special load frame was casted at Geotechnical Engineering Lab of L.D. College of Engineering. Along with the settlement characteristics by this model test, it is also aimed to study soil-pile interaction, slenderness ratio (L/D), effect of particle size on load carrying capacity and surface characteristics of mono-piles.

Abstract: Two transmit and one receive antenna design was presented by Alamouti in [5], where channel coefficients at adjacent time intervals are assumed to be same. When the channel suffers from inter symbol interference (ISI) due to large delay spread, Time Reversal Space Time Block Codes (TR-STBC) achieves better performance [8]. In frequency selective Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) channel environment, loss of ‘quasi static’ assumption produce the ISI in TR-STBC. In this paper, a low complexity receiver is evaluated to mitigate the effect of inter symbol interference caused due to ‘quasi static’ assumption in TR-STBC in m-Nakagami fading channel.

Abstract: Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) is a condensation product based on reaction between two monomer, urea and formaldehyde. For production of wood based panels UF are most important type of adhesive resins. These are thermosetting which can bind two surfaces by adhering them strongly and rapidly. In this paper we reviewed the literature for UF resins, on which parameters it depends (mole ratio, pH, and temperature) and also discuss problem related to formaldehyde emission form UF-bonded boards, lastly characterize the resins by using different methods like thermal analysis, FTIR method, NIR for structural characterization.
