Keywords: Blue economy, coastal zones, institutional framework, ocean sciences, sustainable development.
Abstract: Blue economy is defined as the ocean dependent economic development to improve the quality of life of people
while ensuring inclusive social development as well as
environmental and ecological security. India has committed to advancing the blue economy. The knowledge
about fishery resources, sea bed, marine minerals and
energy resources and vulnerability to natural hazards
is a pre-requisite for the growth and development of
the blue economy. The marine fish catch has been a
major source of income for one million fishers in India.
The technological development for product development
to be addressed for commercialization of deep-sea fishery. Geophysical surveys have provided information
about coastal placer minerals, gas hydrates on continental shelf and manganese nodules, hydrothermal
systems and cobalt crusts in high seas. The investment
in developing technologies and human resources for
harnessing these resources is being made. The coastal
and marine area spatial planning to be employed to
understand risks involved and accordingly, developmental activities to be planned. The economic growth prospects beyond 2030 will be limited without large
investments in ocean environments. An accounting system to be developed to bring together disparate data
sources, both economic and environmental. An institutional framework for implementing activities related to
blue economy to be set up. Investments in sustainable
development of oceans will pay rich dividends for future
generations and benefit humanity.

Keywords: None
Abstract: In the contemporary scenario of global economic development, the blue economy stands as a beacon of potential, offering vast opportunities to accelerate economic growth.
According to United Nations estimates, the blue economy
generates between USD 3 and 6 trillion globally annually,
supporting various sectors such as fisheries, aquaculture,
tourism, energy, transport, maritime infrastructure and industries.
The current contribution of the blue economy to India’s
Gross Domestic Production (GDP) is ~4%, noticeably low
for a nation surrounded by ocean on three sides, with a long
coastline (8118 km) and an Exclusive Economic Zone
(EEZ) of 2.02 million square km, constituting about 60% of
country’s total area. Recognizing this potential, the government has identified the blue economy as a key growth driver.
The Economic Advisory Council to Prime Minister has
provided a policy framework emphasizing sustainable utilization and management of maritime sectors covering living
resources, mineral and energy resources, services, coastal
and maritime infrastructure, safety and global diplomacy,
and marine spatial planning.

Keywords: Embodied energy, Bison wall, Thermal imaging
Abstract: Nowadays building occupies major energy share for its construction and operation. Many studies have been carried out on the enhancement of efficiency of the devices which in turn reduces operating energy consumption. However, the construction materials play a major role. The embodied energy for the building material, like brick, cement has increased day by day. Several investigations have already been made on the point of strength of alternate building materials. This paper analyses the embodied energy consumption of conventional wall and a bison wall. Also, the paper studies the thermal profile of a conventional wall and the bison wall building which is recently constructed. The internal and external thermal profile has been continuously recorded using thermal imager and reported. The temperature rise alone will lead to increased operating energy consumption in the building.

Keywords: Solar PV, Degradation, Climatic parameters
Abstract: Power generation through solar photovoltaic has grown at a faster rate in India. The estimated target by 2022 through solar PV rooftop as well ground mounted system is 100 GW. The life of the panel is 20 years. Many researchers have focused on increasing power output as well as panel size optimisation. The literature shows that the panel degrades 1% of the rated power every year. However, limited study is only available for degradation of panel on Indian climatic conditions. Many parameters, like dust, temperature, humidity have a role in the degradation of the panel. The paper has carried out a detailed investigation of the degradation of solar panel which has been put in use for the year 1998, 2007 and 2016. The degradation of power from its rated power has been estimated and reported. Also, thermal imaging of the panels on same operating condition has been recorded.

Abstract: Irrigation is a major problem faced by farmers today. So automated irrigation system must be employed to overcome this. In India, agriculture plays an important role in development of food production. In our country, agriculture depends on the monsoons which are not sufficient source of water. Although there is much automated irrigation system, it cannot be implemented for fields having different crops. This proposed system implements the farmers need by incorporating soil moisture sensor and an embedded controller. This system can be implemented for fields having different crops that can be cultivated in a region. Farmers can monitor and control the field from remote locations using GSM technology.

Subject: Mechanical Properties Of Concrete Made With Partial Replacement Of Fine Aggregate By Rice Husk Ash
Keywords: Mechanical properties, Fine aggregate, Rice husk ash
Abstract: This experimental study aimed to analyze the effect of rice husks as fine aggregate in concrete and to compare the results in terms of concrete compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength with conventional concrete. The other objective of the study is to help the industry to make use of the waste rice husk ash as useful engineering product rather than dumping in the roadside which leads to environmental pollution and cause health hazards. The results of the study will provide knowledge to the building contractors and developers to improve the construction industry methods and services by using rice husk and to sustain good product performance and meet recycling goals. Results were recorded from the test conducted on the concrete in the laboratory where precise data were gathered and completely attained. Rice husk was partially replaced as fine aggregate in concrete and the percentage replacement was 0%, 5%, 10% and 20%. The grade of concrete used for the study is M40. Mechanical properties (compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength) was determined on hardened concrete cubes after 7- and 28-days curing period and the results revealed that the strength of concrete decreases as the percentage replacement of sand increases with rice husk when compared to conventional concrete. The results also revealed that there is the possibility of replacing fine aggregate with rice husk in the production of structural concrete.

Subject: Design, Heat Transfer Modeling and Analysis Of Environmentally Benign Charcoal Kiln
Keywords: Biomass, Charcoal kiln, CFD, Conventional method, Eco-friendly concept, Reheating process, Less retention time
Abstract: Charcoal making practices are empirical in nature with built-in traditional wisdom inherited from one’s ancestors. A clear scientific study of the whole process with the interventions for controlling the influencing parameters is lacking. For long-term production of charcoal, using woody biomass seems to be ideal due to the possibility of producing them in wastelands and in a short time-frame. Moreover, the traditional method takes more time to produce a very small amount and low quality of charcoal. In this, we describe a practical method for manufacturing high quality charcoal from biomass that yields nearly 35-40% with a reduced reaction time than the traditional method of charcoal production. In this eco-friendly concept, we have designed a kiln and CFD analysis which will recirculate the carbon monoxide (CO) emitted due to drying of woody biomass (350-400oC) and further the same will be fired from an external source and it provides heat to the kiln without the help of anymore external firing. So the amount of wood burnt is reduced so that the efficiency of the kiln is increased (35-40%). Also, the time required for the process is reduced as 34 hr due to firing from four sides which leads minimum amount of unburnt inside the kiln. The temperature profiles at 450-600oC inside the kiln help us to understand the process of pyrolysis reactions to obtain charcoal in final form.

Subject: An Attempt to Reduce Prosopis juliflora From Agricultural Land by Using Gasification Process
Keywords: Gasifier, Prosopis juliflora, IC engine
Abstract: Air gasification was conducted with waste biomass (Prosopis juliflora) in a newly fabricated fluidized bed gasifier to reduce the sterility of fertile land. In this work, the physical and chemical properties of biomass were measured and found that they achieve the standards. The various zone temperature and pressure were measured for finding the overall gasifier performance. The temperature of the oxidation zone was increased to 520ºC during gasifier operation of 50 min, due to the continuous feeding of biomass (8.5 kg/hr) and the producer gas volume flow rate was achieved as 32.5 m3/hr. The calorific value of producer gas has reached in the range of 4.02-5.5 MJ/kg and the cold gas efficiency was in the range of 65-73%. When running just with gasifier, amount of producer gas is high yet the quality is less and its temperature run is 190-250ºC. When running with gasifier and water scrubber plan, there is an insignificant change in quality and temperature run is 50-70ºC. The flame temperature is increased by 60%, this will lead to increase the combustion performance of IC engine. Consequently, the outcomes propose that in the wake of utilizing all the three filter will increase the quality of producer gas which is fit to use in internal combustion engines.

Subject: Performance Analysis of Evacuated Tube Collector Using Diffuse Reflectors
Keywords: Evacuated tube collector, diffuse reflector, Thermal performance
Abstract: Solar water heaters with evacuated tube collector (ETCs) are becoming more popularly used because of their efficient operation in collecting solar energy with minimum losses compared to other types of collectors. Still, they are deficient in one way that the top half of the cylindrical tubes are only exposed to solar radiation and bottom half become inactive due to lack of whipping solar radiation. If the bottom of the tube is given an opportunity to receive a portion of the radiation, the performance of the ETCs would be improved to a definite extent. In this present work, water in glass evacuated tube was fabricated with a built-in horizontal storage tank of 100 L capacity. The performance of the ETC has been evaluated with two different geometries of the diffuse reflectors, namely diffuse flat reflector (DFR) and diffuse corrugated reflector (DCR) in Coimbatore weather conditions. The experiments have been conducted from 6 am to 6 pm during the month of February 2018. The water temperature of collector tank was observed at the end of experiment day for three cases, namely without diffuse reflector, with DFR and with DCR. The result showed that the integration of diffuse reflectors improved the performance of the ETC of solar water heaters to a substantial level. The increment in tank water temperature was noted as 6.2°C and 8.8°C with DFR and DCR, respectively.

Subject: Experimental Study on Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregate Using Medical Vial Waste in Conventional Concrete
Keywords: Medical waste, Glass waste, Alternative to fine aggregates, Reusing
Abstract: The amount of waste glass has gradually increased over the recent years due to urbanization and industrialization where most of the waste glass end up in a landfill while only small fraction can be recycled because of the high cost of cleaning and colour sorting. Since glass is not biodegradable, the landfill is not an environmentally friendly solution. Recent studies have shown that the waste glass can be effectively used in concrete either as an aggregate (fine or coarse aggregate) or as cement replacement. Being amorphous and containing relatively large quantities of silicon and calcium, glass is, in theory, pozzolanic or even cementitious in nature when the particle size is less than 75 micron. This paper discusses about the partial replacement of fine aggregates using medical vial glass waste in concrete. After the review, it is of considerable finding that more research is deserved on all fine aggregates replacing medical waste materials, which can give more certainty on their utilization in concrete.

Subject: Energy Management System Control For Smart Homes
Keywords: Energy management system, DC nano-grid, Renewable energy integration, Smart homes
Abstract: To manage power flow in homes, energy management is essential to optimize the residential load demand profile. In this, optimization load profile and the solar irradiance plays a major role for smart homes. The optimization period may be day/month/year. The main focus of the future homes is to get zero net energy, that is nothing but a zero electricity bill for homes. To enable zero net energy consumption and optimal power management for future homes, the direct current electric distribution systems (DC nano-grid) is an excellent choice because it is simple to integrate various types of renewable energy source to the electrical grid. However, integrating solar and EB sources and loads is simple and reliable. This paper proposes an integration of solar PV array of power 100 W and EB grid (230 V, 50 Hz) are connected to the load (either AC or DC load). The simulation has been done by using MATLAB/Simulink.

Abstract: Diesel is one of the largest contributors to environmental pollution worldwide and will remain so, with a large increase in vehicle population causing ever increasing global emissions. So, it is mandatory to achieve a standard compression ratio of a diesel engine to have optimal performance. In this study, the effect of different compression ratios, injection timing and load on engine performance of diesel engine fuelled with diesel fuel was studied. The optimum compression ratio, injection timing and load were determined by using the design of experiments (DOE). These results for the diesel fuelled variable compression ratio diesel engine will be useful in fixing the optimal range of values for the input variables.

Abstract: Energy has always held a very crucial place in the development of infrastructural growth in any economy. Energy determines the stature of a country in the global arena. Traditionally, energy has been produced from conventional sources, like coal, petrol, diesel, etc. Not only are these resources limited but also pose threat to the environment. Hence, renewable sources provide a much better alternative to producing energy. Renewable energy sources can be seen as the future of the energy sector and hence, countries are heavily investing in them. India is at par with the rest of the world. Many frameworks have been established for the purpose, like various laws, policies, institutions, etc. As a result, the share of renewable energy in the total energy has been increasing over the years. In this research paper, growth in installed capacity of renewable power, past initiatives of Government of India (GOI) to achieve them have been analyzed and it has been determined whether the past targets have been achieved.
