Conventional silicon based photovoltaic industries, which convert silicon cells to modules attracted the attention of the researchers due to the cell to module conversion power losses. The conversion power losses are due to the various parameters such as shadow effect, inherent properties of the...

This work attempts to develop a correlation to predict thermal NOx formation in compression ignition (CI) engine when fuelled with diesel and biodiesel. Attention was focussed on both the fuel properties (cetane number, density) and engine design factors (bore, stroke, compression ratio, fuel...

The objective of the present work is to analyze the combustion characteristics of crude rice bran oil methyl ester (CRBME) blend (20% of CRBME with 80% no.2 diesel on volume basis) as a fuel in a stationary small duty direct injection (DI) compression ignition (CI) engine. When operating with...

The present work explores the possibility of simultaneous reduction of NOx and smoke of a stationary CI (compression ignition) engine fuelled with biodiesel blend. Fuel injection timing is retarded which resulted in lower NOx emission with an increased smoke intensity. NOx emission of the...

This paper explains the pattern and determinants of economic growth of major Indian states during the period of 1960-2008. Particularly, the study analyses the growth pattern of Tamil Nadu and also intra-state growth pattern. The inter-state and intra-state differentials are analyzed with the...
