Researchers are searching for urban as well as industrial wind sources, which can be useful as the natural wind source to obtain electrical energy and utilize it. The wind sources considered here are the exhaust of the cooling or ventilation fans used in buildings, industries, and other places. The Darrieus VAWT extracts wind power from the exhaust air and reduces the power consumption of the concerned electrical drives. These uncommon energy sources have an inherent capability to recover a significant amount of energy without polluting the environment with less payback period. Recovered energy can be suitably converted into electrical energy and may be fed back to the power grid without any pollution, thus minimizing the total energy consumption of the building and reducing the cost operations. A detailed study of experimental models with different types of assembly and turbine models is conducted here with power outputs and operational behaviors on the existing systems.

However, to date, there is a paucity of studies on the autocatalytic epoxidation specifically epoxidized oleic acid as it is not fully utilized. The autocatalytic epoxidation of oleic acid was carried out by using in situ generated performic acid to produce epoxidized oleic acid. Performic acid was formed by mixing formic acid (as oxygen carrier) and hydrogen peroxide (as oxygen donor). A maximum relative conversion to oxirane (RCO) achieved was 87% at optimal formic acid molar ratio to oleic acid under following conditions: (1) reaction temperature: 75°C, (2) stirring speed: 300 rpm, (3) formic acid/oleic acid molar ratio: 2.5, and (4) hydrogen peroxide/oleic acid molar ratio: 1.0.

The hydroxyl value from alcoholysis was 346.9 mg KOH/g while the hydroxyl value of hydrolysis was 296.4 mg KOH/g using autocatalyzed reaction.

Irrigation is crucial for agriculture, serving as the most essential input for all types of crops. Implementing a cost-effective irrigation method can maximize farmers' output. In small-scale farming, manual irrigation methods are commonly used to reduce costs. Therefore, a technology-enhanced manual irrigation system will benefit marginal and small farmers.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Design/Methodology/Approach&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;This work introduces a new irrigation system that incorporates an epicyclic gear train along with a simple gear train arrangement. This system is designed to be attached to a farm's hand pump. The plunger rod with the piston is a crucial component of the hand pump, as its reciprocating motion lifts water from underground. An increased number of reciprocating motions of the plunger rod results in a greater amount of water being lifted from the well.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Findings&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;The designed model, when used with the hand pump, maximizes output with minimal manual effort. This system is environmentally friendly and operates without any external power sources.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Statement of Novelty&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;Lifting water from underground using a hand pump typically requires devices powered by external sources such as petrol, diesel, or electricity, which incur costs. Consequently, farmers using these methods for irrigation face financial burdens. It has been observed that more than 50% of the total income of small and medium-scale farmers is spent on irrigation. To address these issues, the designed model has been introduced. Its novelty lies in the use of an optimal transmission system featuring simple and epicyclic gear trains, as well as an energy-efficient design facilitated by the inclusion of a flywheel. These features ensure smooth operation and improved efficiency.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Statement of Industrial Relevance&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;This system is suitable for both agricultural purposes and curing work in construction. There is a significant market for this innovative design, as it serves as an optimal solution for agriculture and water supply systems without relying on external power sources. Our product is expected to sell quickly in the market. Many industries in India are developing agricultural products, but this system stands out due to its uniqueness, ensuring no difficulties in marketing.

The provinces with high-quality development are scattered from the east region of the Hu Line to the north and south regions, and non-high-quality development provinces are contiguous. ②The positive spatial correlation of the urban mining industry is significant, but the agglomeration degree in high-quality development provinces is low-high-low. According to the spatial agglomeration characteristics, the high-quality development pattern is divided into five zones. ③Among the factors driving the high-quality development of the urban mining industry, regional GDP per capita, R&amp;D investment, the number of patent applications granted and Internet penetration rate are the core influencing factors.

The drying of crops is an essential process for preserving agricultural crops that serves for several agricultural sectors. Solar drying is comparatively inexpensive yet an effective method to dry agricultural products. In this study, the potential of organic paraffin wax as PCM in a movable solar dryer has been investigated. In this experiment, heat-storage materials, organic paraffin wax PCM were used. The use of a PCM-packed floor in a traditional solar dryer used to decrease the drying period of vegetable crops is novel in this work. The work contrasts the drying presentation of chili among direct open solar drying without and with 200 g of microencapsulated and macro encapsulated PCM. Furthermore, the quality and texture of dried chili produced by solar dryers are better to those produced by open sun drying.

The optimal working conditions for MPP were established to be an initial concentration of 300 mg/L, an adsorbent dosage of 0.15 g, a CT of 100 min, and a solution pH of 6.08. Studies were conducted at various temperatures to better understand the removal capabilities of adsorbent compounds. The removal abilities of Mn(II) ions for PP were determined to be 10.787, 13.698, and 16.556 mg/g at varied temperatures (25, 35, and 45°C), respectively. Under the same conditions, the removal capacity of MPP was determined to be 34.246, 45.045, and 51.813 mg/g. Further investigation of the adsorption kinetics revealed that the experimental results suited the pseudo-second-order model for both PP and MPP adsorbents. Thermodynamic analyses demonstrated that the endothermic process of Mn(II) metal ion adsorption onto the adsorbents occurred spontaneously.

Solar energy stands out as a promising renewable resource, yet its widespread adoption faces challenges, notably the substantial land requirements for photovoltaic (PV) panels. This conflict intensifies as land could be more efficiently utilized for agriculture and development. Conversely, railway infrastructure occupies expansive tracts of land, presenting an opportunity to integrate PV panels without disrupting rail operations. However, a comprehensive assessment of the solar potential along railway tracks on a national scale is lacking for different countries and the UK is one of them. This study addresses this gap by evaluating the feasibility of installing PV panels on railway tracks throughout the UK to generate electricity. Utilizing mathematical models tailored to five distinct solar panel technologies, the study incorporates various factors, including solar radiation levels across different months. Assumptions were made where necessary, with values for certain variables averaged to facilitate calculations. The findings reveal that solar energy harnessed from railways could satisfy up to 8% of the UK's total electricity demand, with a minimum contribution of 0.3%. This study provides valuable insights from a UK-centric perspective and offers a replicable framework for similar assessments in other countries with extensive railway networks, such as China and India.
