Bio-Fertilizer in Forest Nursery-A Review
Abstract: Many micro-organisms like bacteria, fungi, algae possess plant growth promoting mechanisms. These micro-organisms may be implemented as biofertilizers in agriculture and forestry, improving crop yields. These Biofertilizers can enhance plant increase through numerous different mechanisms. The synthesis of plant nutrients or phytohormones, which may be absorbed with the aid of using plants, mobilization of soil compounds, making them to be available for the plant for use as nutrients, the safety …

Biomass Gasification in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed Reactor
Abstract: The effect of secondary airflow rate and particle size on the combustion temperature inside a bubbling fluidized bed reactor were reviewed. The experiments were carried out for four-particle sizes with different secondary airflow rates. From the results, it was evident that the secondary airflow rate has a more substantial impact on the temperature of the freeboard zone. The temperature profiles show that the maximum temperature is achievable when the magnitude …

Calibration of Temperature Sensor -Thermocouple and Thermistor in Food Processing Retorts
Abstract: The given thermocouple and thermistor are calibrated using stirred liquid bath method. The plot of voltage vs. temperature is drawn for the thermocouple and it is almost nonlinear and consistent with theoretical polynomial equation. Further, it is observed that there is no significant hysteresis of the temperature range of 0°C and 100°C. The nonlinear curve for the thermistor is obtained when the resistance against temperature is plotted. The constant β …

Experimental Analysis of Physical Parameters in Treated Water
Abstract: During the first phase, the surface water treatment plant at Saidabad treats 225 million liters of water per day. In the treated water, turbidity, color, total coliform, fecal coliform, and hardness are reduced; on the other hand, conductivity and total dissolved solids increase. In the wet season, turbidity is high due to relatively coarse particle dispersions in river water. All other parameters, such as, color, total and fecal coliform, hardness, …

Studies on Extraction and Purification of Total Phenolic Content from Seeds of Carica papaya
Abstract: Carica papaya is belongs to Caricaceae family and it contains high content of phenolic compounds and medicinal properties. It shows various pharmacological activities like anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, wound healing activities. Here in this research work, for the extraction of TPC from seeds of Carica papaya, the optimum results were observed for the effects of different solvents, solvent percentages, pH, extraction time and particle size for the extraction of TPC …
