Climate Change: A Global Issue
Abstract: Our Earth’s climate has transformed throughout history. Climate change is a complex process and it is believed that if we do not firmly curb it now, there are going to be catastrophic consequences. There have been several cycles of glacial advance and retreat. An overwhelming scientific consensus maintains that climate change is primarily because of the human usage of fossil fuels, which releases CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the …

Farm-Scale Biogas Generation and Upgradation as Transportation Fuel
Abstract: Biogas from the bio degradable biomass like slurry, agricultural wastes, and kitchen wastes mainly consists of the methane, carbon di oxide and the trace amount of sulfur and hydrogen. Methane has a higher calorific value to be used as a transportation fuel and the residual waste after decomposition of biomass can be effectively used as fertilizer. However, the presence of other constituents along with methane significantly hinders the in cylinder …

Design and Fabrication of Pedal Operated Air Compressor
Abstract: The first idea for powering the pump would be a stationary bicycle. Pedal power is simple, efficient, and practical. Its most familiar use is the bicycle for personal or cargo transportation. But pedals can also power small stationary machines. Since the system is to remain human powered and large amounts of power are required, having the operator use their stronger leg muscles was intuitive. A stationary pedal driven device seemed …

Review on Production of Activated Carbon from Agricultural Biomass Waste
Abstract: Agricultural biomass waste is one of the main residue largely generated in the environment and was used as precursor for the synthesis of activated carbon as adsorbents, support on catalyst, electric charge storage, micro pore structure, high adsorption capacity material. Recently, many research paper can be found on particular biomass feedstock and activation technique to produce activated carbon. Consequently, main focus should be taken to the relevance those precursor effectiveness …

Techno-Economic Analysis of Packed Bed Type Thermal Batteries for Surplus Renewable Energy Storage
Abstract: Low carbon electricity from renewables will form the bed rock of the energy transition necessary for climate change mitigation. However, variable renewable generators suffer from intermittency and variability – there can be large surplus power available at times which cannot be dispatched to the grid. At many times, the practice is to curtail surplus renewable output, which is wasteful and not economic. There are also phases when generation is not …

Chemical composition in Atmosphere: An Introductory Approach for Students
Abstract: Our atmosphere is divided into different strata above the earth’s surface. The region closest to earth’s surface is the troposphere that is extended upto 10-16 km above the surface. This layer or strata is followed by stratosphere which extends upto nearly 50 km. Above it is the mesosphere region, which covers about 50-85 km from surface of the earth. Beyond the mesosphere lies the thermosphere which goes from 85-500 km …
