Biomimicry and Parametrism
Abstract: Abstract: The research paper explores the concepts of biomimicry and parametricism and how they relate to architectural design. While parametricism is a design process that uses computational algorithms to produce complex and adaptive architectural forms, biomimicry is an interdisciplinary approach that draws inspiration from nature's answers to design difficulties. This paper explores the fusion of these two ideas to produce novel and sustainable architecture designs. The study provides an overview …

A Review on working of Gas turbine Operation
Abstract: The basic operation of a gas turbine is a Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. Atmospheric air flows through the compressor, increasing its pressure. Energy would then be tried to introduce by spraying fuel into the air and igniting it to build a high temperature flow. This superheated steam gas enters a turbine, producing shaft work output in the process. The unutilized energy can be generated in the …
