Anjali Pal in OpenAIRESurfactant-modified alumina (SMA) was prepared and used for the removal of Mn(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) from aqueous environment. Batch studies were conducted to find out optimum pH of the medium, adsorbent dose of SMA, and contact time. They were further optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). In the present study, a three-factor, three-level Box–Behnken experimental design was used to derive a second-order polynomial equation and construct three-dimensional (3D) surface plots and two-dimensional (2D) contour plots to examine the response. The level of significance for each independent variable and their interaction effects were examined by means of analysis of variance (ANOVA), F test, and Student’s t test results. In addition, the percentage effects of the different factors and their interactions on the removal efficacy were also investigated by plotting a Pareto chart. The models were validated for accurate prediction of the percentage (%) removal by performing numerical optimization. The optimum values of three tested variables were determined at pH 6.2, 8.2, and 5.3; adsorbent dose = 20, 5, and 4 g/L; and contact time = 30, 60, and 75 min for the adsorption of Mn(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) ions, and the corresponding removal efficiency was found to be 77.04, 93.83, and 97.23 %, respectively.

Explicit expressions have been derived for the temperatures of various components of the inverted absorber double basin solar still and it’s efficiency. The effect of water depth in the lower basin on the performance of the system has been investigated comprehensively. For enunciation of the analytical results, numerical calculations have been made using meteorological parameters for a typical winter day in Delhi. It has been observed that the daily yield of an inverted absorber double basin solar still increases with the increase of water depth in the lower basin for a given water mass in the upper basin.

Bansal;In the present investigation, the process of diffusion of salt in a vertical column of liquid, subjected to temperature variations of the types T(x) = constant, linear ( = a + bx) and parabolic ( = a + bx - cx2); with a constant concentration difference between the top and the bottom (0 and 25 per cent, respectively) is studied. It is seen that a linear temperature gradient, T(x) = a + bx, leads to a near convex parabolic salt concentration profile with maximum deviations increasing from 13.5 per cent (at 40°C) to 14.8 per cent (at 70°C) and eventually to 15.7 per cent (at 90°C) with respect to the linear concentration value of 12.5 per cent (by weight) at the midpoint. Conversely, the parabolic temperature profile as well as the modified profile due to the Soret effect leads to near cubic salt profiles which differ only by 2–3 per cent in the upper half of the pond. However, they show a point of inflexion at larger depths near the bottom around which the convex profiles change over and become concave. Subsequently, these studies have been extended to compute the salinity profiles of thermal configurations of the operational solar pond.

Dhiman;Abstract A simple periodic analysis of an underground solar water heater is given in this paper. The model is validated against some earlier experimental and theoretical results. The earlier models have considered heat transfer at the boundaries of the water tank along with considering the whole water mass to be at one uniform temperature, this makes their models complicated and, therefore, they require more computational time. The present model assumes the temperature to be continuous at the boundaries of the water tank.

Singh; Mahendra Singh Sodha;Abstract This paper describes an analysis of the reduction of the heat flux coming into a room through a roof with an open water pond. A periodic analysis of the system, based on the linearisation of Dunkle's 6 expressions for convective, radiative and evaporative losses, is presented. Numerical computation for the heat flux has been carried out for a typical hot day, the 19th of June, 1979, in New Delhi. These results were compared with those for a water-sprayed system. It was found that, for typical parameters, there are reductions in the maximum heat flux entering the room of 48% and 41% for the roof pond and water-sprayed systems, respectively (for a relative humidity of 0·8). The corresponding reductions in daily heat input into the room are 20% and 35%, respectively. Load levelling is, of course, much better in the case of the open roof pond.

Abstract Water-using processes are typically modeled as either fixed flowrate operations or fixed contaminant load operations. A new method for targeting the minimum freshwater and pinch in a single-contaminant water network is proposed, which can be applied to both kinds of operations. The method consists of plotting separate source and demand composites with flowrate as the horizontal axis and contaminant load unusually as the vertical axis. It is elegant, non-iterative, and can handle hybrid problems where both kinds of operations coexist. To design minimum freshwater networks for fixed flowrate problems, an algorithm is presented based on a newly developed principle of nearest neighbors. The principle simply states that the source streams to be chosen to satisfy a particular water demand must be the nearest available neighbors in terms of contaminant concentration. To design minimum freshwater networks for fixed contaminant load problems, the nearest neighbors algorithm is applied to process units that lie across the pinch. Units that lie entirely on one side of the pinch are satisfied by the cleanest source available on that side of the pinch. In other words, below-pinch units are satisfied by freshwater and above-pinch units are satisfied by the cleanest available stream above the pinch. Designs based on this methodology, apart from meeting the minimum freshwater target, also minimize the water flowing through the process units resulting in reduced network capital cost.

The present work was focused on humidified air as an alternative to steam for generation of hydrogen-rich fuel gas in an updraft fixed-bed gasification column. A series of experiments were performed to see the effect of temperature, air/humidified air and CO2 addition on gas yield and composition. Furthermore, some experiments were also conducted by varying impregnation temperature at the optimum condition to see the effect of impregnation temperature on gas yield and calorific value. The gross calorific value (GCV) of coconut husk C53.84H77.80O43.99N was estimated as 23.21 MJ/kg. The fuel gas production was found in the range from 0.68 to 2.89 Nm3/kg for native and from 0.83 to 3.13 Nm3/kg for impregnated coconut husk. The GCV of fuel gas yield was found to be maximum of 12578 kJ/Nm3 for impregnated coconut husk at impregnation temperature of 105 °C, retrofitted with CO2 in humidified air. The concentration of hydrogen was found maximum for impregnated coconut husk. The present gasification process not only provides feasibility of green energy but also renders to reduce the pressure of the environmental pollution created by the unutilized coconut husk.

Latent heat storage integrated evacuated tube solar collector, organic Rankine's cycle, active solar still and water heater are main subsystems of the proposed system to generate power, potable water and hot water simultaneously. Therminol-66 and eco-friendly organic substance (n-butane) are selected as working fluids for the collector system and organic Rankine's cycle, respectively. Heating oil flow is divided after vapor generator to get best temperature glide and hence exergetic performance. The system is assessed based on multi-objective functions like power output, heating output, water productivity, component irreversibility, subsystems and overall system energy and exergy efficiencies, economic and environmental criterion. Generator temperature, condenser temperature, preheater mass fraction and pinch point temperature difference cases are selected decision variables for the parametric studies. The CDHP system energy efficiency, exergy efficiency, cost rate and CO2 reduction are obtained as 17.89%, 3.915%, 1784 $/yr and 10.806 tonnes, respectively, at mean operating conditions. Furthermore, the maximum exergy efficiency of organic Rankine's cycle is found as 57.46% at optimum generator temperature of 119 °C for 50% preheater mass fraction. Overall, the current CDHP system is recommended to produce power, potable water and hot water to meet energy demands, especially at cold remote locations.

A comparison of performance has been made between single and double basin solar stills. It is observed that the double basin solar still gives better performance than the single basin still due to better utilization of latent heat of vaporization.
