Rapid development in infrastructure sector has boosted the demand of both, resulting in many environmental concerns. Energy consumption and CO2 emission associated with the production of concrete and cement is a big concern. On the other side, there is a huge solid waste associated with the stone industry which has manifold environmental and financial concerns. For sustainable development, there is a need to utilize the stone waste as a partial replacement of cement (mineral admixture) in concrete so that so that the two problems simultaneously get solved. Kota stone slurry (KSS), which is abundantly available in area of Kota, Rajasthan was used as a partial replacement of the cement in this study. The objective of the present study is to determine strength and durability parameters of the concrete containing Kota stone slurry. The experimental program consists of preparing concrete mixes with two water binder ratios: 0.40 and 0.50 with varying Kota stone slurry percentage as 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% partially replaced with cement. Compressive and flexural strength test, pull-off test were performed to evaluate strength and DIN 1048 water permeability test, carbonation test and abrasion test were performed to check the durability of concrete mixes. The results indicate that with the increase in Kota stone slurry content, the compressive and flexural strength decreased. There is a marginal decrease in permeability also but the mixes containing Kota stone slurry displayed better resistance to abrasion indicating their suitability as good floor and pavement material. The properties of concrete with Kota stone slurry indicates that it can serve as an alternating material in low cost rural pavements.","PeriodicalId":330303,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advance Research and Innovation","volume":"355 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125638874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to Indian petro fuel consumption scenario, the demand for petroleum diesel is increasing day by day hence there is a need to find out an appropriate solution may be biodiesel but the cost of biodiesel produced from vegetable oil through transesterification is higher than fossil fuel, because of high raw material cost. To minimize the biodiesel cost, in recent days, in most cases, NaOH is used as alkaline catalyst, because of its low cost and higher reaction rate. In this review the important process variables for esterification such as concentration of acid catalyst, alcohol/oil ratio, reaction time, temperature, and % of excess alcohol are optimized. The results are also verified with Ganetic Algoritham (GA) method and Taguchi method. Also summarized the research works in optimization of C.

The crisis is totally unique and abysmal due to its reciprocal effect on the pandemic as it explicitly observes an inversion of capital inflows, creating competitive and comparative financial instability in the commercial and public sectors. The crisis can be evaded if local or international investors effectively evaluate Malaysian's primary macroeconomic and fundamental structural conditions. The essential drivers are innovation and capital, whereby the way to forestall future crisis is to democratize the economy. The authorities may have to accomplish more to secure economic activities recovery, as certain components of the economy, such as manufacturing will see a quicker turnaround in comparison to the tourism and travel industry. This may mean giving further financial assistance, particularly to the most unfortunate 40% of the populace. This pandemic has likewise underscored the requirement for Malaysia to set up a more grounded social security framework that is practical and less divided to improve the welfare system, both during the recuperation and beyond.

The effects of temperature changes in the condenser and evaporator on the plant’s irreversibility rate were determined. The greater the temperature difference between either (i) the condenser and the environment, or (ii) the evaporator and the cold room, the higher the irreversibility rate. Reduction in the irreversibility rate of the condenser gives approximately 2.58 times greater reduction in the irreversibility rate for the whole plant, whereas reduction in the evaporator’s irreversibility rate gives a 2.32 times greater mean reduction in the irreversibility rate of the whole plant.
