The use of liquid fossil fuel as an energy source has long been considered unsustainable and most importantly the will be diminished by middle this century. In addition, is directly related to environmental degradation greenhouse emission. Biofuel produced from plants, animals or algae products can offer alternative reduce our dependency on assist maintain healthy global environment. Micro-algae becoming popular candidate for biofuel production due their high lipid contents, ease cultivation...

Wind energy is a promising scheme in the power generation sector due to pollution-free production and wind resources' sufficiency worldwide. Installing turbines all possible extents can mitigate rising demand. Built-up areas possess high potential for energy, including rooftop of high-rise buildings, railway track, region between or around multistoried city roads. Harnessing from these quite challenging since it has dramatic nature turbulence higher roughness on urban surfaces. This review...

Refrigeration is vital in daily life and industries, traditionally relying on single-system cooling. The two predominant kinds of cooling are vapor compression refrigeration (VCR) thermoelectric (TEC). Each these single systems has its own disadvantages, such as higher input energy requirements lower efficiency. However, the effect integration VCR TEC for achieving performance with not been well studied reported existing literature. Therefore, aim this study to conduct a thorough...

St. Martin's island is a small in the Bay of Bengal about 9 km south main land Bangladesh. Nearly 6000 inhabitants live there and fishing their primary livelihood. Since far away from grid connection almost impossible terms cost geographic location. However, electricity demand partly fulfilled by stand alone diesel generators. In this study, an attempt has been made to model hybrid generation system for community island. This incorporates combination solar PV, wind turbine, battery...

The teaching and learning of engineering courses are always challenging due to its complex abstract nature, the mathematics involved. With diminishing resources (e.g., continuous funding cut, frequent professional/academic staff career movement, lack competent professional staff, inadequate laboratory infrastructures), become harder it is progressively becoming difficult teach basic effectively. As a result, students cannot achieve effective outcomes. To overcome these challenges, three-step...

The primary objective of this study is to determine the aerodynamic impact various fuel saving devices used in a commercial vehicle (i.e., semi-trailer truck). To measure drag produced by vehicle, wind tunnel was undertaken using 1/10th scale model truck. drags on baseline including different external attachments front faring, side skirting and gap filling) were measured for range operating speeds yaw angles, with combinations. results show that these (fairing covering) have notable as they...

Liquid fossil fuel is anticipated to run out by the mid-2060s. The destruction of land, water, and air due use contributes environmental degradation. Policymakers, scientists, researchers are looking into power generation from renewable sources, such as wind solar energy, because threat climate change owing global warming brought on greenhouse gas emissions. Although there have been substantial advancements in large-scale turbines for generation, small-scale turbines, which potential solo...

This research seeks to investigate the effects of physical attributes suitable knitted fabrics on amount pressure generated underlying body. We aim predict magnitude applied a cylindrical body known radius by generating specific amounts tension an external fabric cover. The paper first addresses tensile properties samples with different orientations stretch, predictive compression garments and then discusses method validating reliability Laplace law for calculating pressures that are garments.

The transitional education is increasingly becoming popular as it provides internationally recognised at the doorstep of students. reduction government subsidies to Western universities has created conditions for looking alternative ways generate income offset financial short fall. As a result, higher educational institutions have become heavily dependent on onshore fee paying international However, from students falling. Therefore, start offer their in home countries. Scant information...

The postgraduate education is considered to be important as it provides the educational institutions opportunities build their research capabilities, enhance academic reputations and financial gain. success quality of post graduate largely depends on effective efficient supervision students. Despite its immense importance, teaching learning through not still fully understood. As expectation high increasing, supervisory role becoming more challenging due fact that most students are coming...
