Keywords: Overhead air-conditioning system, Non-uniform thermal environment, Thermal comfort.
Abstract: Thermal comfort and energy savings are the important aspects of air distribution in a conditioned space. In conventional methods of air distribution, the supply air is used to provide a uniformly mixed thermal environment in the room. The conditioned air is supplied from the ceiling through ducts and the air is returned back from the ceiling itself. An alternative to this arrangement is the supply of air from floor-based diffusers and the returning air is extracted through the ceiling. In this arrangement the air is required to be supplied at the same or slightly less temperature than the temperature required for the comfort within the occupied space. The supply air mixes with the room air and produces a non-uniform thermal environment in the room. A two-layered stratification is thus produced and energy can be saved by conditioning of the occupied space only. The objective of this paper is to present the concept of this air induction technology. The turbulent plume and fountain theory is used for the conceptual model. By this method, energy can be saved in addition to increased human comfort.

Abstract: The global energy requirement has grown at a phenomenal rate. The demand for coal will continue to remain as it is looked upon as the prime energy source for the coming future. Economic development and poverty alleviation depend on securing affordable energy sources and coal mining industry offers a bright future for the energy security in the Asia Pacific region. However, direct use of coal leads to environmental pollution. The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), a principal greenhouse gas (GHG), is strongly related to the use of fossil fuel, especially coal, for energy production. A long term projection for the Indian energy sector upto the year 2031-32 showed that CO2 emissions from India are likely to increase much faster and reach 3.5 times the present value. A rise in the global temperature varying from 2? C to 3.5 ?C and a sea-level rise of 65 cm is also estimated by the year 2100. As coal will remain to be the prime energy source, this paper emphasizes on the need to develop clean coal technologies where coal can be refined in coal refineries to obtain different fractionated products having different quality-grade-class (QGC) of fuels. It also highlights the need to develop further clean coal technologies, such as integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), through hydrogen generation for zero emission. The use of ultra clean coal in gas turbines directly will enhance the efficiency of power generation of 33-38 per cent. This paper discusses the role of Mining Engineers for the promotion of clean coal technologies (CCT) in fulfilling energy demand in a sustainable manner. Brute force high pressure coal conversion processes will have to be replaced by the convenient and cost effective low atmospheric pressure processes. During the production of coal gas methane if CO2 is injected suitably in coal seems it can release methane, which has double benefit in curbing global warming. Underground coal gasification (UCG) has a large potential to extend the lifetime of this resource, perhaps by a couple hundred years. UCG can also provide a clean energy source through carbon capture and storage techniques and it offers a unique option for CO2 storage. The methodology, as discussed, may have formed a guideline to develop clean coal technologies, which can be applied at an industrial scale for various sites.

Keywords: Land use, Relative soil quality index (RSQI), Soil quality, Soil properties, Sustainable soil management.
Abstract: The important soil quality indicators were investigated under different land use systems namely, sal forest, agroforestry, rainfed cropland and irrigated cropland to provide base line data for future research in lower north western Himalayan region. The soil properties such as soil depth, texture, organic carbon, total N, available P, available K, CEC and soil pH were investigated for each land use system to assess relative soil quality index (RSQI).
The study revealed that there were significant differences in soil quality parameters under different land use systems. The study further revealed that soil quality index (SQI) values varied from 33.7 in sal forest to 257 in rainfed cropland in Dungakhet village indicating the superiority of forest land use system in terms of maintaining greater SQI than other land-use systems. Similar trend was also observed in the other site of the study area. Analysis of data on RSQI revealed that the soil quality index for rainfed cropland was 23.74% lower in Dungakhet and 19.88% lower in Pasauli than the reference sal forest. In general, intensive tillage practices have degraded most of the important soil quality indicators. Therefore, reducing the intensive tillage practices and use of integrated inorganic and organic fertilizers could replenish the degraded soil quality for sustainable agricultural production in the study area.
