FEASIBILITY STUDY OF HYBRID; SOLAR AND BIOMASS POWER PLANT by Aanchal Jain 

Abstract

The thesis is the study of combined solar and biomass hybrid arrangement for the generation of electric power. In developing country like India, the electricity demand is rising continuously but the coal reserves for electricity generation are at the verge of depletion. So there is a need of paying attention towards the alternative sources of energy generation. Renewable energy sources are the best choice as they provide clean energy and overcome global warming. But there are certain problems in operating these sources as stand-alone systems. So it will be highly beneficial if both stand-alone systems work together as hybrid system because hybrid system will provide reliable and continuous power without depending upon main system and support farmers financially by consuming biomass from their fields. The present study intends to fulfill high electricity demands by utilizing solar  energy and biomass (agri-residue) potential available in different villages of Hoshiarpur. The objective of thesis is to investigate the feasibility of hybrid solar-biomass power plant in village Binjon in Hoshiarpur district of Punjab. On the basis of data collected from different organizations and dealers, the biomass potential, per unit cost of generation from hybrid system and payback period is analyzed using MATLAB. The proposed hybrid system is designed with per unit cost of Rs 8.39. Less per capita expenditure is an index of development of any nation and by using such hybrid systems we can get less per capita expenditure values

Durability Properties of Self Compacting Concrete with Recycled Aggregate and Silica Fume by Mohd Ishfaq 

Abstract

Concrete is widely used construction materials. As we know, it is a mixture of coarse aggre-gates, fine aggregates, binded together by cement with addition of water. Concrete which is highly flow able and can fill the form work under its own weight, consolidates without any mechanical vibration is known as selfcompacting concrete, thus cause self-compaction. Such concrete accelerate the time of placement, reduce the labour work needed for consolidation, finishing and reduces environmental pollution. The so called first generation SCC is used mainly for repair applications and in restricted areas where it is not possible to reach easily, comprising sections that present limited access to vibrate. It has been used in applications justifying the higher material and quality control cost when considering the simplified placement and handling requirements of the concrete. Silica fume is one of the best improvements of the rheological as well as the mechanical and good chemical properties. It also improves the dura-bility of the concrete. In this present study, tests on replacement of coarse aggregates with recycled aggregates and replacement of silica fumes with cement had been done. Tests were conducted for fresh prop-erties of self compacting concrete, i.e. filling ability, passing ability, segregation resistance, so as for obtaining fresh properties according to SCC EFNARC 2002 concrete mix. The different durability properties such as chloride penetration depth, abrasion resistance, were determined on various concrete mixes. Their compressive strength was also found. Replacement by silica fume decreases chloride penetration depth, depth of wear. Concrete mix having 50% recycled aggregate and 10% silica fume replacement had comparable durability in term of the chloride depth, abrasion resistance.

INFLUENCE OF NANO-SILICA AND GROUND GRANULATED BLAST FURNACE SLAG ON CEMENT USING STATISTICAL DESIGN OF EXPERIMENT by Arvinder Singh 

Abstract

Cement and concrete have been subjected to modification in earlier research works for the enhancement in its properties. However investigating the properties of concrete at nano-level is a comparatively new concept and nanotechnology can be applied to Civil Engineering by various concepts including addition of nanomaterials like Nano-Silica. On the other hand, use of waste materials as a replacement of cement is the need of the hour and the waste materials like furnace slag does possess cementetious character. This study was performed to study the effect of addition of Nano-Silica (Nano-SiO2) (0 - 3% by weight of cement) and waste material Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) (25 – 65% by weight of cement) on the physical properties of cement like Standard Consistency, Setting times, Compressive Strength at the ages of 7, 28 days. For structuring and analyzing the experiment, the Factorial design approach was adopted. From the study it was observed that addition of even small amount of Nano-Silica can drastically change the characteristics of cement like increase in the early age strength by 15% for 3% Nano-Silica replacement due to the acceleration of hydration of cement, but it also caused the increase in consistency limit from 28% to 31%. The setting times were also drastically reduced with addition of Nano-Silica. GGBS addition however resulted in slowed the hydration reaction, decrease in strength gain and water requirement due to its low hydraulic reactivity. However, by adding GGBS alongwith Nano-Silica it restricted the drastic drop in setting times of cement and also resulted in increased compressive strength by 11% at 2% Nano-Silica and 45% GGBS replacement due to the consumption of Ca(OH)2 and formation of additional C-S-H by both Nano-Silica and GGBS. Beyond the range 2% Nano-Silica and 45% GGBS the strength reduction was noticed probably due the decrease in the available free lime concentration at high concentrations of Nano-Silica and GGBS. The analysis of above experiment was carried out using factorial design of experiment, ANOVA was adopted for analysis of the 28-day Compressive strength which gave the result that Nano-Silica had more profound effect on strength of cement. Regression analysis was adopted to derive a relationship between the compressive strength of cement and different proportions of Nano-Silica and GGBS.

THE EFFECTS OF REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT AND SAND IN CONCRETE BY MARBLE POWDER by Himanshu Sharma

Abstract

Marble powder (MP) is a fine powder, formed as a waste product of marble sawing and shaping and can not be recycled due to problems that effects the environment. There is a possibility of using marble powder as partial replacement of cement and sand in concrete mix. In this study, the possibility of using marble powder in cement and concrete production was examined by studying the effects of blending the marble powder with cement and sand and checking the physical properties of fresh and hardened concrete. In studying the performance of concrete, a total of eighteen concrete mixes were prepared with replacement of cement and sand with marble powder ranging from 5% to 20% at an increment of 5% by weight. For each replacement value, two classes of concrete, M-35 and M-40, mixes were prepared for both cement and sand replacement cases. The investigation indicates that replacement of cement by marble waste powder for 5% value, in concrete production, results increase in comparable compressive strength as of concrete specimens without marble powder with slight slump reduction for both M-35 and M-40 classes. Increment of replacement beyond 15%, in concrete production, results in reduction of compressive strength and slump. Replacement of sand by marble powder from 5-20% , in concrete production, results in similar and mostly enhanced performance than the control concrete specimens; with slightl increase in compressive strength and slight slump improvement in both mixes. The Split tensile strength of Cylinders are increasing with addition of marble powder up to 15% when replaced by weight of cement and after that addition of waste marble powder it decreases the Split tensile strength .

WASTEWATER TREATMENT WITH VERTICAL SUBSURFACE FLOW CONSTRUCTED  WETLAND by Sukhwinderpal Singh 

Abstract

Water is a vital natural resource and covers about one-third of surface of the earth. This is essential for multiple purposes. Its uses include drinking and other domestic uses, industrial cooling, power generation, agriculture (irrigation), transportation and waste disposal. After such anthropogenic activities, haphazard disposal of wastewater is deteriorating water bodies and the surrounding environment in the progressing world. In the modern times, there are several systems to treat municipal wastewater and one of them is Constructed wetland system. Constructed wetland system imparts natural and economical treatment to the wastewater and has been proven sustainable and effective alternative to the conventional treatment systems. In this study, performance of fabricated model of Vertical Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetland (VSFCW) on which effluent characteristics of Kitchen wastewater and Domestic wastewater like BOD, COD, TSS, Nitrates, Ammoniacal Nitrogen and TKN were studied at two different detention periods i.e. 24 hours and 3 days. The vegetation cover provided to the wetland system was Phragmites australis. Experiment was carried out from month of March to June in the temperature ranging between 30˚C-46˚C. 30% and 61.4% loss of influent through evapotranspiration was observed at 24 hours and 3 days HRT respectively and hence it is an efficient system to minimize highly polluted wastewaters. Kitchen wastewater, when treated at 24 hours HRT shows average percentage removal of 91.71% in BOD, 82.13% in COD, 93.63% in TSS, 57.48% in Nitrates, 57.30% in Ammoniacal nitrogen and 67.73% in TKN and when treated at 3 days HRT shows average percentage removal of 94.14% in BOD, 87.09% in COD, 97.26% in TSS, 86.81% in Nitrates, 83.60% in Ammoniacal nitrogen and 82.54% in TKN. Domestic wastewater, when treated at 24 hours HRT shows average percentage removal of 86.90% in BOD, 54.75% in COD, 84.66% in TSS, 65.35% in Nitrates, 65.81% in Ammoniacal nitrogen and 70.22% in TKN and when treated at 3 days HRT shows average percentage removal of 89.66% in BOD, 72.97% in COD, 93.82% in TSS, 88.95% in Nitrates, 82.59% in Ammoniacal nitrogen and 79.94% in TKN. Kitchen wastewater showed better results than Domestic wastewater. It was found that higher the organic strength of the wastewater better is the removal efficiency of the VSFCW.

PARAMETRIC STUDY OF HOWE ROOF TRUSS by Brahamjeet Singh 

Abstract

In design of steel trusses different types of geometries (Howe truss, Pratt truss, Fink truss are etc.) and sections (Angle section, Tube section, rectangular hollow section etc.) are widely used. The purpose of this job is to study the effect of different spacing, span, and pitches, in order to find out the most economical truss by comparing the use of hollow sections and angle sections. The need of this study arises where sometimes it is difficult or taking too much time to choose an effective and economical truss span spacing and pitch during design and construction period. The design was done with the help of Staad pro- V8i software using Limit State Design Method. In present work, “HOWE ROOF TRUSS” of span varying as 10m, 20m, 30m, and 40m has been analyzed for different spacing such as 3m, 4m, 6m and 8m also at the different pitches 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1,7 to get the desired economical truss design. In investigating the effectiveness of various truss geometries, a total of 64 truss combinations were analyzed and designed by providing the hollow square sections and angle sections. The analysis of all sets of trusses enables comparisons to be made among the various spans, spacing and pitches. The loads (dead load, live load and wind load) at each panel and node are calculated manually as per Indian Standard Codes IS 800:2007, and IS 875(Part 3)-1987 and then the loads are entered into STAAD PRO-v8i software for analysis and designing of members. Loads are applied on the nodes (member joints considered as pinned joints) of truss the STAAD PRO-v8i output method is used for determining the member forces. After that the load combinations and design were applied according to the design method (Limit State Design Method). In designing of Howe roof truss both the angle sections and square hollow sections were provided to compare the weight of truss. In this Study the truss with a least value of weight is considered as most economical truss. At the end it was concluded that with the increase in spacing of truss the self-weight of truss was also enhanced. In most of the cases the pitch 1/5 and 1/ 6 was concluded as the most economical. Most of the times the trusses provided with angle sections were assumed to be more economical. On the other hand for 30m span with pitch 1/6 the hollow sections gave the economical design of truss. Also in case of 40m span and 1/7 pitch the hollow sections are seems to be more cost effective.

TRAFFIC SPLITTING IN HYBRID VIRTUAL-MIMO SYSTEMS by Pawanjot Kaur

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become an inextricable part of contemporary era. At the same time, MIMO technology has also been regarded as beneficial due to various advantages offered by it. Ergo, with the collaboration of these two concepts, virtual-MIMO came into existence. This collaboration overcame the major problem of WSNs, energy limitation. V-MIMO has been proved highly effective to increase the network lifetime along with the given constraints of BER, transmission energy and received energy. After several years of its efficient use, hybrid virtual- MIMO system has been developed which utilizes V-MISO and V-SIMO along with V-MIMO, according to the requirement. HV-MIMO provides flexibility to the user as compared to V-MIMO where user is bounded to use only MIMO topology in every hop which sometimes increases the complexity of system. Also, in less dense networks, it is difficult for source node to determine multiple neighbouring nodes. However, HV-MIMO is efficient in all kind of networks because in this system V-MISO and V-SIMO topologies can also be used. This thesis deals with the improvement in HV-MIMO system with the help of traffic splitting which helps to lower the complexity of the system. Delay and throughput are two main parameters which get affected by splitting of traffic. A significant reduction of 50.4% in delay is achieved as compared to V-MIMO system. Similarly, throughput is increased by 15.4 % as compared to conventional V-MIMO systems. Thus, the proposed work would be highly useful for real time applications which need quick transmission and

retrieval of data such as health monitoring and camera surveillance systems.

DESIGN AND FEASIBILITY OF MICRO HYBRID BIOMASS PLANT USING MAGNETO HYDRODYNAMIC GENERATOR AND THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR by Mandeep Kaur 

Abstract

Due to modernization, the power demand is increasing day by day resulting in a wide gap between supply and power demands. Efforts may be oriented towards the search of new sources of energy and has led to the growth of other non conventional methods using renewable sources. As a result, rush to

biomass systems have been promoted around the globe at a very large scale as biomass is used as a raw material either in primary or secondary processing units. Nevertheless, plants using biomass as raw material are promoting problems like carbon dioxide emissions and methane gas emission which are threat to earth’s ozone layer. High ash content and heat release to environment are the harmful effects of biomass plant. In order to get optimal generation conditions, cogeneration of biomass plant is done so as to provide clean energy to environment. For this reason, biomass cogeneration is done using MHD generator, thermoelectric generator so as to increase the reliability and efficiency of the system. Normally the efficiency of boiler is 25-35% but by using the cogeneration, efficiency has increased to 65-85% because flue gases obtained from burning of raw material are cycled again to boiler after passing through MHD and TEG generator. As a result the boiler will need less energy to increase its internal temperature thereby increasing the efficiency of boiler. The flue gases obtained after burning the fuel in boiler is fed to TEG, from where they move to MHD generator. The seeding material is added as the flue gases enter the MHD generator so as to increase the electrical conductivity of the gas. Now, again the flue gases are fed to boiler and consequently the cycle is completed. The output from TEG is utilized by the cogeneration plant itself, so as to fulfill power requirements of the plant such as in cooling systems; fans etc. leading to less power consumption. The other two outputs i.e. from turbine and MHD generator are fed to the grid so as to meet the power demands.

CONDITION MONITORING OF POWER TRANSFORMERS: A CASE STUDY OF VARIOUS SUBSTATIONS IN THE STATE OF PUNJAB by Inderpreet Kaur

Abstract

Power transformers have limited life. They are essential components of substations. Transformers do not have any moving parts except cooling fans or tap changers. Whatever outages are there, they are not because of wear out. Reason behind them is deterioration of insulation caused due to electrical, thermal, mechanical stresses .These stresses and presence of oxygen, moisture deteriorates insulation over a period of time .If these failures can be minimised, huge revenues can be saved. For that purpose, various factors responsible for ageing have been studied. Ageing is a chemical reaction due to thermal, electrical and mechanical stresses. These chemical reactions lead to products which help in determining the health of transformer. For example cellulose deterioration reduces degree of polymerization which is related to thermal ageing. There are certain other products like carbon dioxide, water, 2furfuraldehyde, 2acetylfuran, furfurylalcohol, 5hydroxymethyl2furfuraldehyde. Hence, extent of insulation damage can be predicted from these products. These degradation products affect physical properties of oil and paper. Over the years a number of techniques have been developed to find the remnant life of transformer. Laboratories have been using DGA and furan to find out condition and age of transformer. In the present study, all physical properties which are likely to be affected by degradation like breakdown voltage, tensile strength, viscosity, tensile strength, flash point, pour point, tan delta, degree of polymerization have been studied of the transformer oil samples of different substations in Punjab. Different gases like CO2, CO, Ethane, Ethylene, etc are formed and furan derivatives dissolved in oil. Their analysis by comparing them with past data has been very informative for calculating the age. DGA has been carried out on aged samples to find the incipient faults.DGA has turned out as life saving techniques for condition monitoring of transformers. Furan analysis has been very useful in projecting the age of transformer. Cellulosic paper degrades and form furan compounds. Cellulose consists of long chain of molecules. Due to paper degradation, they become susceptible to damages. Scientists have given different formulas for finding out age. In this work, CHENDONG’S formula have been used as it has been find out to be most accurate.

C.B.R. IMPROVEMENT OF CLAYEY SOIL MIXED WITH LIME AND BAGASSE ASH by Sonam Kaur 

Abstract

Clayey soil consists Illite mineral, which expands or shrinks when it comes in contact with moisture. Many cracks appear on the structure, which is founded on this type of soil. The clayey soil possesses low strength and excessive volume change. Civil Engineers face lot of problems in the field during and after construction of structure on clayey soil. Therefore, such soils needs to be stabilized before any construction on this type of soil. Various admixtures like lime fly ash, bagasse ash and cement commonly are being used for stabilization of clayey soil. In this work, strength of soil is improved by adding bagasse ash and lime. Effect of different mix proportions of lime and bagasse ash on compaction characteristics and strength properties as CBR of soil is observed in this study. The soil was stabilised with 3%, 5%, 7%, 9% of lime and 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% of bagasse ash. All stabilised sample was soaked for four days and then cured for 3 days. It observed that MDD decreased by 11% with increase of 7% lime and 20% BA. However, OMC increased from 16% to 19% and CBR increased from 2.5% to 14% with a combination of 7% lime and 20% BA. The CBR start decreasing with further increase of lime and bagasse. It is concluded that a optimum combination lime and bagasse ash can improve the strength (CBR) of clayey soil with medium plasticity. In the present study the flexible pavement was designed as per IRC 37: 2012, and observed that about 17% of total thickness of flexible pavement may be reduced if the clayey soil is stabilized with lime and bagasse ash. More over waste material like bagasse ash may be utilised in pavement effectively without detoriation of environment.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF HEAVY METALS IN VEGETABLES OF LUDHIANA, PUNJAB by Usha Kumari 

Abstract

Vegetables (Spinach, Cauliflower and Fenugreek) from the production and market sites of Ludhiana, India were analyzed for heavy metals (Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Nickel, Lead & Zinc) concentrations by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Samples of Irrigation water and soil were also analyzed. Results from the study shown significant variation in concentration of metals among three different analyzed vegetables. Concentrations of heavy metals in vegetables, irrigation water and soil from site-1 showed higher levels of pollution than site-2. Heavy metals contamination in vegetables of production site-1 exceeded vegetables of production site-2 by 36%. Order of metals concentration in vegetables from production site-1 as- Pb > Zn > Ni > Cr > Cd > Cu & from production site-2 as- Zn > Pb > Ni > Cr > Cu > Cd. Concentrations of Cd, Cr and Pb in vegetables of production sites were several times greater than the joint WHO/FAO standard limits. Range for concentration of noxious metals- Cd, Cr and Pb in vegetable samples of production site-1 as Cd (0.05-13.15mg/kg), Cr (0.5-13.95mg/kg) and Pb (25.50-48.50mg/kg) and for production site-2 Cd (0-4.90mg/kg), Cr (0-27.70mg/kg) and Pb (6.20-46.35mg/kg). The average concentration of other metals Cu, Zn and Ni for both sites was within in limit except Zn mean concentration (64.40 mg/kg) in spinach for site-2 had exceeded limits. Study reveals that the pollution of ground water which is used for irrigation at both sites ascribed from the polluted nala (located alongside of both sampling fields), atmospheric deposition & agricultural activities. Study moreover shown that; there was a significant variation in heavy metals concentration of market sites vegetables to that of production sites. Study revealed that vegetables marketing methods plays a substantial role in elevated level for heavy metal pollution which can posture a danger to vegetables quality with impacts for consumer’s health from locally cultivated crops. Results determine that all vegetables of both production sites have different-2 percentage increase for heavy metals accumulation at market site which might be because of atmospheric deposition. The percentage increase in amount of metals in vegetables of market sites changed with vegetable types and climatic condition. Variations in concentrations of metals in vegetables studied for market sites might be because of dissimilar absorption rate of vegetable species for contaminants settled down from air. Daily heavy metals ingestion through vegetables intake shows higher contribution to diet. The contributions of market site-1 and market site-2 vegetables to dietary ingestion of Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Nickel, Lead and Zinc for market site-1 was 19 %, 58 %, 0.12 %, 7%, 43% and 0.23% respectively and for market site-2 was 10 %, 59 %, 0.06%, 2%, 25% and 0.16% respectively to Provisional Tolerable Daily Intake (PTDI). Both production sites vegetables have high content of poisonous metals. Thus intake of studied vegetables along with higher contents of toxic heavy metals might be the source of high quantity of metal accumulation to body resulting health hazard. Therefore study suggested that regular monitoring of vegetables cultivated in studied locations is compulsory in turns to decrease human health

risk.

Biodiesel Production Using Waste Cooking Oil: A Waste to Energy Conversion (W.T.E.) Strategy by Sonal Tripathi

Abstract

Energy is the most crucial element that is required for the life to exist on the planet earth. The contribution of the energy for the mankind to flourish is indispensable. With the widespread advent of urbanization and globalization the world’s population has risen at a very distressing rate. Such change has led to the obvious ramification which is the tremendous increase in energy demand to carry out various life processes. A gigantic part of this ever increasing demand is served by the energy derived from the fossil reserves. This source contributes a gargantuan sum to cater the energy needs of the mankind. However, these reserves are depleting at a very rapid pace since the exploitation of such resources have escalated drastically. It is thus estimated that a stage would arrive in the near future that will result in the rapid downfall of the availability of these reserves due to the complete exhaustion. The outbreak of the energy thirst has emphasized upon the need for an alternative option for the energy source that is technologically feasible and environmentally viable. The use of indigenous components such as biomass has paved the way for the development of biofuels. According to India’s Biofuel policy, biodiesel can be used in order to augment the fuels utilized basically for transportation. This can envisage the energy security of India by inculcating the usage of biodiesel as a fuel source. Biodiesel production can provide certain opportunities such as employment to the rural population, declination in the import and export costs and a reasonable option during energy crisis. Vegetable oils are commonly used to produce biodiesel. Utilizing such sources can have a devastating effect on the food v/s fuel security. As a mitigation measure to such impediment we can utilize the waste to produce biodiesel which is considered as the Waste-To-Energy Conversion Strategy. The waste can be the oil that is disposed after being utilized for cooking purpose that is dumped and therefore created nuisance to the environment. As a whole, utilizing used cooking oil as a raw material for producing biodiesel can be considered as a justifiable option for the curtailment of the problems arising due to the improper waste management of such oils.
