Economic Model In Exploiting Stranded Natural Gas In Niger Delta Offshore Fields |
||||||||||||
Worldwide demand for clean, reliable and affordable energy has never been greater. New technologies are needed to produce more oil and natural gas from remote or "stranded" locations. Gas to Liquids (GTL) conversion is an umbrella term for a group of technologies that can create liquid hydrocarbon fuels from a variety of feedstocks.
In essence, GTL has the potential to convert a significant percentage of the world's estimated proved and potential gas reserves which today holds little or no economic value.

Design & development of multi orientation drilling special purpose machine subsystem | ||||||||||||
The growth of Indian manufacturing sector depends largely on its productivity & quality. Productivity depends upon many factors, one of the major factors being manufacturing efficiency with which the operation /activities are carried out in the organization. Productivity can be improved by reducing the total machining time, combining the operations etc. In case of mass production where variety of jobs is less and quantity to be produced is huge, it is very essential to produce the job at a faster rate. This is not possible if we carry out the production by using general purpose machines. The best way to improve the production rate (productivity) along with quality is by use of special purpose machine. Usefulness and performance of the existing radial drilling machine will be increased by designing and development of multispindle drilling head attachment. This paper deals with such development undertaken for similar job under consideration along with industrial case study.

Model of Energy Generation in Plant by the Cells of The Leafs During the Night (From 18:00 to 6:00). | ||||||||||||
It is known fact that plants generates energy using the sunlight and that the intensity of the sun drastically reduced from 18:00 hours to 6:00 hours (over the night). A mathematical model is presented to describe the process and the energy generated by the cells in the leaf of a plant at this period. The model equations are solved with graph showing the production level within the range of periods stated. This study assumed that plants have already generated enough energy both stored and used. The result showed that plant makes use of existing stored energy thus reducing the level of the stored energy until the next day when the energy level begins to increase.

Dealumination and Na activation of natural zeolite for CO2 adsorption on biogas | ||||||||||||
In this study, natural zeolites from the Philippines were modified using NaOH heat treatment and NaCl hydrothermal process. Pre-treatment using ferro-filtering and dealumination using different concentrations of HCl acid leaching were prepared prior to sodium activation. Heat treatment was performed using 5M NaOH at 80 °C for 72 hrs while 3 cycle hydrothermal process was performed using 5M NaCl at 10 psi for 1 hr. Diffraction pattern from XRD showed Heulandite (HEU) – Clinoptilolite (CLI) and Mordenite (MOR) framework for raw and acid pre-treated zeolites. There was a shift in HEU characteristic peak from 9.9084° and 8.91 Å to 9.6901° and 9.12 Å which can be attributed to the decrease of contribution of HEU type zeolite. The decrease in contribution enabled the peak to move towards 9.10 Å, value expected for MOR. However, it was found that presence of amorphous phase widens MOR structure on d-spacing 13.45 Å that created humps. Reduction of intensity peaks on HEU – CLI on 9.85°, 9.88° and 22.22° regions were observed attributed to acid leaching. The decline on this characteristic peaks implies severe degradation of crystal framework after heavy acid treatment although the framework was stable. Acid treated modified zeolites intensify Si/Al ratio due to dealumination. Sodium uptake along with higher Si/Al ratio was preferred for CO2 adsorption in a mixed gas system of CO2/CH4. Both NaOH heat treatment and NaCl hydrothermal process increase Na uptake as confirmed by EDS but the latter is preferred due to higher Si/Al ratio..

Design of Microstrip UWB Bandpass Filter using open-circuited resonators | ||||||||||||
A compact band pass filter with a fractional bandwidth of 59% is designed for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications using a microstrip structure consisting of open circuit resonators. Transmission zeros are utilized at the passband edges to enhance the signal selectivity. The filter is characterized by sharp roll-off characteristics due to the presence of transmission zeros. The insertion loss and return loss are found to be 0.1dB and -15dB respectively. This filter has a measured 3-dB passband of (3 to 5.5) GHz, with a compact size of (13.2 x 9.7) mm. The filter offers desirable performance for the lower-band frequency of a UWB system and exhibits low insertion loss. As the structure comprises of only transmission line sections and no coupling gap, the filter is made easy for fabrication. This UWB BPF is useful to alleviate the strong WLAN signals interference to UWB receivers. To illustrate the concept, band pass filter was designed using Agilent® ADS software and simulated results are obtained.

Best Fit and Selection of Probability Distribution Models for Frequency Analysis of Extreme Mean Annual Rainfall Events | ||||||||||||
Frequency analysis of extreme low mean annual rainfall events is important to water resource planners at catchment level because mean annual rainfall is an important parameter in determining mean annual runoff. Mean annual runoff is an important input in determining surface water available for water resource infrastructure development. In order to carry out frequency analysis of extreme low mean annual rainfall events, it is necessary to identify the best fit probability distribution models (PDMs) for the frequency analysis. The primary objective of the study was to develop two model identification criteria. The first criterion was developed to identify candidate probability distribution models from which the best fit probability distribution models were identified. The second criterion was applied to select the best fit probability distribution models from the candidate models. The secondary objectives were: to apply the developed criteria to identify the candidate and best fit probability distribution models and carry out frequency analysis of extreme low mean annual rainfall events in the Sabie river catchment which is one of water deficit catchments in South Africa. Although not directly correlated, mean annual rainfall determines mean annual runoff at catchment level. Therefore frequency analysis of mean annual rainfall events is important part of estimating mean annual runoff events at catchment level. From estimated annual runoff figures water resource available at catchment level can be estimated. This makes mean annual rainfall modeling important for water resource planning and management at catchment level...

Treatment of Effluent from Granite Cutting Plant by Using Natural Adsorbents like Rice Husk Carbon and Saw Dust Carbon | ||||||||||||
Granite cutting plant is one such industry that releases polluting and turbid effluent. The residue from all these processes is discharged with water as an effluent. The effluent mainly contains many solids that harm the environment. Hence it requires treatment techniques before disposal. Several conventional methods are available for removal of contaminants like coagulation, adsorption, polyelectrolyte methods and biological methods. Most of them are cost prohibitive. The reduction of solids concentration in the effluent before disposal by using the techniques, coagulation followed by adsorption using natural adsorbents, like rice husk carbon and saw dust carbon, in contrast to the usage of activated carbon as it is costly. From a local Granite cutting plant near Anantapur, the effluent is collected and its physico-chemical characteristics are estimated and found to be pH(7.5), TS(4240mg/l), TSS(21560mg/l), TDS(12373mg/l).Effluent obtained is subjected to coagulation by potash alum followed by adsorption using saw dust carbon and rice husk carbon. Percentage removal of solids for a contact time of 40 minutes and adsorbent dosage of 0.1g/ml is maintained. The percentage removal of solids based on time variation are TSS=50%, TDS=57% for rice husk carbon; TSS=62%, TDS=60% for saw dust carbon. Percentage removal of solids for a contact time of 25 minutes and adsorbent dosage of 0.25g/ml, the percentage removal of solids based on concentration variation are TSS=68%, TDS=50% for rice husk carbon; TSS=72%, TDS=52% for saw dust carbon. A comparison of the characteristics of effluent treated by rice husk carbon and saw dust carbon revealed that saw dust carbon ensured better removal of solids. However no variation in pH is observed.

High Speed Time Efficient Reversible ALU Based Logic Gate Structure on Vertex Family | ||||||||||||
Programmable reversible logic is emerging as a prospective logic design style for implementation in modern nanotechnology and quantum computing with minimal impact on circuit heat generation. Recent advances in reversible logic using and quantum computer algorithms allow for improved computer architecture and arithmetic logic unit designs. In this paper, the two novel 4*4 reversible logic gates (MRG and PAOG) are used with minimal delay, and may be configured to produce a variety of logical calculations on fixed output lines based on programmable select input lines. The proposed ALU design is verified and its advantages over the only existing ALU design are quantitatively analyzed. The proposed design is synthesized using Xilinx ISE software and simulated using MODEL SIM 6.5b.

Artificial Neural Network Based Fault Classifier for Transmission Line Protection | ||||||||||||
This paper presents a method for classification of transmission line faults based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN).Samples of prefault and postfault three phase currents taken at one end of transmission line are used as ANN inputs. Simulation studies have been carried out extensively on two power system models: one in which the transmission line is fed from one end and another, in which the transmission line is fed from two ends. Different types of faults at different operating conditions have been considered for carrying out simulation studies. The simulation results confirm the feasibility of the proposed approach.
