This work applies whale optimization algorithm for emission constrained economic dispatch of hydrothermal units including wind power. As the wind power has a characteristic of cleanliness and is renewable, this is convincing to include this for better operation of electric power system keeping in view both economic and environmental aspects. Hydrothermal scheduling integrated with wind power establishes a multi-objective problem that becomes economic emission hydro-thermal-wind scheduling problem while taking into consideration the cost due to wind uncertainty. Whale optimization algorithm is proposed to solve this emission constrained economic dispatch problem with competing objectives. This algorithm is recently developed and gives the best solution among other nature inspired algorithms. The objectives minimum generations as well as emission cost, both are optimized together including different constraints. A daily scheduling of all the three types of systems - hydro, thermal and wind is considered to evaluate the competency of this optimization technique to get a solution for this multi-objective problem. The experiments are carried out on two systems for determining the effectiveness of the suggested method. Besides, results found using the whale optimization technique have been compared with the results obtained from other evolutionary methods. From the comparison, it is experimentally justified that the whale optimization works faster and the cost of generation as well as cost of emission are lower than the other approaches.

In this study, an attempt is made to evaluate the effect of first arched ends on the damping derived due to the pitch rate aimed at the variable sine wave bounty, flow deflection angle δ, pivot position, and the Mach numbers. Results show that with the escalation in the bounty of the complete sine wave (i.e., positive amplitude) there is an enlightened escalation in the pitch damping derivatives from h = 0, later in the downstream in the route of the sprawling verge it decreases till the location of the center of pressure and vice versa. At the location where the reasonable force acts, when we consider the stability derivatives in damping for the rate of pitch q, there is a rise in the numerical tenets of the spinoffs. This increase is non-linear in nature and not like for position near the leading edges. The level of the stifling derivatives owing to variations in Mach numbers, flow bend approach δ, and generosity of the sine wave remained in the same range.

Banana stem is one of the most explored non-wood lignocellulose due to its high cellulose content with small amount of lignin. The conventional pulping processes efficiently remove the lignin, but there is potential to reduce the energy and chemical consumptions due to the low lignin content of banana stem. In this work, soda pulping was carried out for 60-120 minutes using 16-20% w/v alkali charge at boiling temperature of 105°C. The efficiency of lignin removal at low temperature was evaluated using kappa number analysis. The effects of pulping time and alkali charge on pulp properties were investigated using fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Soda pulping using 18% w/v alkali charge at 10 liquid-to-solid ratio for 90 minutes under atmospheric pressure efficiently removed lignin with minimal cellulose degradation. Extended pulping time and concentrated alkali charge would induce cellulose degradation. FTIR analysis verified that alkaline pulping caused depolymerization on both lignin and cellulose. SEM images of banana stem showed ordered structure cellulose fibrils arrangement. Removal of lignin and hemicellulose was observed through smoother surface of the banana pulp. However, TGA analysis suggested that a better thermal stability could be achieved through pulping using 16% w/v alkali charge.

Earthquake can cause many problems to the structures, which lead to buildings collapse and may takes humans life. It is a nature’s hazard that cannot be stop. One of the effort is by introducing the damping system to the buildings where the energy of the system is slowly reduced until the vibration of the system is totally eliminated and the system is brought to rest. Several techniques are available nowadays, however passive control system has advantage in term of cost compare to other systems. Multiple Tuned Liquid Damper (MTLD) is a passive system that traditionally made of several rigid tanks filled with water, usually placed on top of a building. The energy will dissipates through the sloshing and wave-breaking of the liquid once the earthquake strike the buildings. Shaking table tests are carried out on a two-bay, two-story steel frame with water tanks for different location. In this test, the displacement and acceleration for top and base are studied.

This research was conducted to produce the magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles extracted from the industrial millscale waste. Then, the micron size samples were extracted and grounded on the high energy ball milling (HEBM) at various milling time for 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 h. The formation of nanosized single-phase hexagonal spinel has been observed with XRD analysis as early as 4 h milling time. The FTIR transmission spectrum shows the appearance of a Fe-O functional group for each sample. HRTEM images showed that all the samples had a small particle size of 5-20 nm with uniform distribution. The specific surface area of the 5 adsorbents increased after the 8 h milling time and it showed reduction after that. The magnetite adsorbents then utilized the adsorbent in Cadmium ions removal of the aqueous solution. Fe3O4 with 8 h milling time was able to remove 9.81 mg of cadmium ions with 1 g of adsorbents consume. The removal of the cadmium ions detected related to the particles size, surface areas and saturation magnetization. This research successfully revealed that the higher saturation magnetization contributed to high removal percentages in cadmium ions of aqueous solutions. Fe3O4 extraction from mill scales waste is cost-effective, the process is eco-friendly and thus, potentially to be applied for wastewater treatment.

This paper investigates the drop weight impact behavior of glass fibre-aluminum (GFRP-AL FML) composites. The purpose of the research is to study the effect of different type of glass fibres architecture, i.e woven and unidirectional, with existence Al sheet in the middle of the glass fibre reinforced polymer composites (GFRP). The impact behaviour of these GFRP and GFRP-AL FMLs was investigated using a drop-weight impact tower at three different energy level, which are 10J, 20J and 30J. The Load - deflection curves were used to measure the absorbed energy. The results showed that the woven type of GFRP exhibited the highest peak load but lowest deflection thus reducing the total energy absorbed. In contrast, the unidirectional types of GFRP possessed the lowest peak load and highest deflection, which results in the highest energy absorbed. For the GFRP-AL FML composites, the energy absorbed obtained almost similar for both woven and unidirectional types. This is may be due to poor adhesion between the GFRP and Al sheet, thus make both materials separated and delaminated when subjected to impact load. The optical analysis proved that the GFRP-AL debonding, fibres breakage, fibres delamination and matrix cracking occurred during the impact loading. These are the main impact energy –absorption mechanisms involved during the test.

Natural fibre composite is potentially used as low load bearing material in building infrastructure field (light weight application). Nevertheless, the ability of materials against thermal and fire must be good. In this work, the incorporation of the phosphorus based intumescent flame retardant (IFR), ammonium polyphosphate (APP) into the jute fabric composite (JC) with different formulations were fabricated to analyze its fire-retardant properties. The physical, flammability and thermal properties of the untreated and treated composites were investigated with the support by FESEM and EDX analysis. Based on the results, the density of treated JC was higher than untreated sample due to the impregnation of APP. In terms of fire-retardant properties, the JC samples treated by APP were able to improve the thermal and flammability of the composites. The enhancement of fire-retardant properties of JC can improve its potential to be used as low load bearing material in building infrastructure applications.

The conventional physical treatment technologies is difficult to dewater most of water content in oily sludge during sludge dewatering process. Oily sludge removal by using surfactant via thermochemical cleaning method is recognized as one of potential method used to enhance the performance of sludge dewatering process. This study was designed to investigate the performance of anionic and cationic plant-based surfactant in removal of oil and enhance the dewatering of oily sludge. The characterization study of raw oily sludge, PBE and SLSA and those treated with PBE and SLSA surfactants were performed via TGA and FTIR. The effect of surfactant concentration was investigated based on percentage of oil removal. FTIR spectra confirms the loss of transmission peak at 1636.11 cm-1 for treated oily sludge due to the loss of oil via solubilization of oil from oily sludge into surfactant solution. Results shows that the best condition for the percentage of oil removal when using PBE and SLSA surfactants was 84.3% and 67.6%, respectively at PBE and SLSA concentration of 50 mg/L and 100 mg/L. It was observed that SLSA and PBE surfactants has potential to remove oil from oily sludge and subsequently contributed to enhance the oily sludge dewatering process.

Activated carbon from coconut shell has been used as an oil adsorbent for various applications because of its high surface area, micro porosity and good sorption properties. However, the collection process after the sorption process is difficult due to its granular form. Impregnating the activated carbon with magnetic particle can solve the problem by removing the used adsorbent using magnet. The objectives of this study were to determine the optimum activation temperature and to compare the effect of immersion time. The study also investigated the effect of the iron to activated carbon ratio on oil removal capacities and the potential of reusability of the composite magnetic activated carbon. The activated carbon was produced by pyrolysation and activated at 600˚C, 800˚C and 1000˚C. This was followed by the preparation of the composite magnetic activated carbon by co-precipitation method. The magnetic adsorbent was then characterised by using FTIR spectra and the surface characteristics was analysed using surface analyser. The highest oil removal were samples prepared at activation temperature of 800˚C with the composite adsorbent oil removal was at 2 g/g which was 11.5% more than the activated carbon sample. Higher concentration of iron did not benefit the oil removal process as the higher the concentration of iron used, the less oil was adsorbed. Finally, the reusability of the composite magnetic activated carbon showed promising result.

Electrodeposition is one of the methods used to perform a protective coating. It is commonly used in the industry because it capable to produce coating with good properties. The objective of this study is to perform the electrodeposition process of cobalt-nickel-iron (Co-Ni-Fe) alloy coatings onto the mild steel hex bolt (M12 x 50). This study also investigated the effect of deposition time on thickness, hardness, surface roughness and the corrosion rate of the electrodeposited Co-Ni-Fe alloy coating. The electrodeposition was performed on the substrate with four different deposition times: 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes. The working temperature of the sulphate solution was 60ºC and the current supplied was 1.5 A. All the samples undergone surface properties analysis. For the corrosion rate, it was conducted using the potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) test. There were three types of solution used for PDP; hydrochloric acid (HCL), distilled water and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with pH 3, pH 7 and pH 9 respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image showed the thinnest coating was 4.74 μm for deposition time of 15 minutes and the thickest coating with 102.77 μm. The coating hardness decreased as deposition time increased and the lowest hardness obtained was 349.6 HV at 120 minutes deposition time. The surface roughness decreased until 60 minutes of deposition time (1.0279 μm) and started to increase at 120 minutes of deposition time (4.0655 μm). The sample with 60 minutes of deposition time had the lowest corrosion rate in all solution; pH 3 = 0.1311 mmpy, pH 7 = 0.0393 mmpy and pH 9 = 0.0512 mmpy. Therefore, it is proven that deposition time is an important plating parameters that determine the surface properties and subsequently the corrosion resistance of electrodeposited Co-Ni-Fe alloy.

The fundamental issue is framing the sensor nodes and steering the information from sender node to receiver node in wireless sensor networks (WSN). To resolve this major difficulty, clustering algorithm is one of the accessible methods employed in wireless sensor networks. Still, clustering concept also faces some hurdles while transmitting the data from source to destination node. The sensor node is used to sense the data and the source node helps to convey the information and the intended recipient receives the sensed information. The clustering proposal will choose the cluster head depending on the residual energy and the sensor utility to its cluster members. The cluster heads will have equal cluster number of nodes. The complexity is generated in computing the shortest path and this can be optimized by Dijkstra’s algorithm. The optimization is executed by Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm that eliminates the delay in packet delivery, energy consumption, lifetime of the packet and hop count while handling the difficulties. The shortest path calculation will improve the quality of service (QoS). QoS is the crucial problem due to loss of energy and resource computation as well as the privacy in wireless sensor networks. The security can be improvised in this projected work. The preventive metrics are discussed to upgrade the QoS facility by civilizing the privacy parameter called as Safe and Efficient Query Processing (SAFEQ) and integrating the extended watchdog algorithm in wireless sensor networks.

Abstract. Ground resistance is required for protection of electrical installations. The size of the earthing resistance value has an effect on the rapidly discharging of electrical energy. The value of grounding resistance that meets the requirements of an Electrical Installation has been determined and set by PUIL (General Requirements for Electrical Installation) 2000. Methods are performed based on circuit-designed trials and measurement results. The design of this digital ground resistance measurement is not separated from the basic circuit of current and voltage measurement, the achievement of the measurement of ground resistance is generated from the measurement of voltage and current (V / I). The test results of the tool can be seen that the measuring tool of digital grounding resistance that is designed to build this has a precision and accuracy is good enough that the average percentage error of 6.29%. This measuring instrument uses two voltage sources that is the voltage for the measuring instrument and the reference voltage that is supplied to each electrode. In the use of this measuring device must be careful because the reference voltage is high enough that it can create a shock voltage on the electrode if not installed properly.
