Plastics are polymers made up of large link of hydrocarbon chains. Processes like pyrolysis can depolymerize the longer hydrocarbons and convert them to smaller ones. In the present study, waste polypropylene and a mixture of polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene were subjected to pyrolysis... Read more ...
This work involves the development of process simulation model for waste plastic pyrolysis. Aspen plus simulation package is used to create the simulation flowsheet model of pyrolysis process with feed capacity of 500gm/hr. Kinetic based model proved to be quite accurate for simulation purposes b... Read more ...
Storm water is a major cause for urban flooding. Increased rainfall rates and rapid urbanization without proper planning, leads to frequent localized flooding across the country. In certain coastal areas, there is an issue of ponding of storm water runoff, draining from the higher grounds in large v... Read more ...
In the present research work, a smart cold storage for Karumkulam Grama Panchayat using IoT (Internet of Things) and cloud is proposed. A multi-sensor wireless module based monitoring system is designed using Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The sensors are placed inside the cold storage plant to facili... Read more ...
Munroe island had suffered wide destruction in the tsunami of 2004. Located at the confluence of the Ashtamudi Lake and the Kallada River in Kollam district, Munroe island was created by the land reclamation from the delta and hence vulnerable to flooding. The agriculture sector and fishing sector h... Read more ...
Installation of impervious roads prevents ground water percolation and causes flood related problems. In big picture, it can even cause unbalance in natural ecosystem. The advantages of concrete block pavement(CPB) over other paving surfaces are low maintenance, ease of placement and removal, reu... Read more ...
In this paper, an effort to manage water hyacinth is made by converting it into a sustainable fuel, bioethanol. The area of study is Alappuzha commercial canal. The effect of acid and alkali pretreatment was analysed and the result shows that acid pre-treatment giving higher reducing sugar than alka... Read more ...
Wireless power transmission technology is an emerging field of energy transmission. Range anxiety is a prominent issue in the present world. Around 90% of the people are panic about the fear of losing charge on their phone. So a new and innovative product based on the wireless power transmission tec... Read more ...
These days aquatic sources like lakes, rivers and ponds have become the major locations of pollution. These water sources are dumped by plastics and biodegradable waste. The water bodies are rapidly infested by aquatic weeds like water hyacinth because of the degenerating quality of water. These ... Read more ...
