The Use of Dredged Sediment from the Watsongpeenong Canal with Paper Mill Residue to Produce Facing Bricks
Authors: Namchan Jiraporn , Supakata Nuta
Published: August 2019

The potential to use dredged sediment from the Watsongpeenong Canal and paper mill residue as the primary raw materials for producing facing bricks was studied in the laboratory. Dredged sediment and paper mill residue were chemically, mineralogically, and thermally characterized using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). To evaluate the effects of the contents of the paper mill residue on pore-forming, large amounts of paper mill residue, ranging from 5 to 7 % by mass, were blended with dredged sediments and fired at 700oC. The physical-mechanical properties, including dimensions and tolerances, wryness, deviation of the right angle, water absorption, compressive strength, stain, hole, rails, and cracks, as well as the microstructural properties of the facing bricks, were investigated. In addition, the heavy metals (Mn, Pb, Cd, and Cr) in the facing bricks were identified. The results indicated that the dimensions and tolerance, wryness, deviation from the right angle, water absorption, compressive strength, holes, and rails of the facing bricks with 5 % and 7 % by weight of paper mill residue were compliant with the requirements of the TIS 168-2546 standard. For stains and cracks, no batches of the facing bricks complied with the standard. Facing bricks made from 93 % dredged sediment and 7 % paper mill residue (93D+7P) obtained the highest compressive strength, with a value of 23.66 MPa. Therefore, dredged sediment and paper mill residue can be considered as suitable for use as primary raw materials in the production of facing bricks.

Authors: Outapa Pantitcha , Na Roi-et Veerapas
Published: August 2019

The issue of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from municipal solid waste (MSW) is important in the context of climate change. Reduction of GHGs from waste disposal systems is one of the management strategies forming part of Thailand’s National Economic and Social Development Plan. This project evaluated emissions from a municipal solid waste system covering transportation and disposal in Lampang Municipality, northern Thailand. GHG emissions from transportation were estimated by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) based on the travel distance of the vehicles, using a vehicle emission model and vehicle fuel consumption. GHG emissions during the disposal process were also estimated based mainly on the model of IGES. The results indicated that GHG emissions from sanitary landfill were highly dominated by methane (CH4) emissions (20,346 tons CO2eq a-1). In addition, carbon dioxide (CO2) was emitted (226 tons a-1) from the transportation process. This evaluation found that GHG emission estimates based on travel distance were lower than those based on fuel consumption (44 %). Furthermore, changing from diesel fuel to compressed natural gas will reduce transportation emissions by approximately 7 %.
Understanding the Weathering Process of Antimony Minerals: Case Study Sb-Mine Sulzburg, Black Forest, Germany
Authors: Chawchai Sakonvan , Bissen Raphael
Published: August 2019

Concerns about heavy metal and metalloid contamination from mine dumps is one of the most intensively discussed issues in society, politics, and academia, because of the levels of pollution, and its toxic properties. During the Middle Ages the Black Forest was one of the most successful mining areas in Southwestern Germany. Historical records show that Sulzburg was a mining town in the Black Forest since the 10th century, but was abandoned in the 19th century. Nowadays this town is considered as an important recreation area in the country. Therefore, soil and water quality and any contamination are of great concern. The purpose of this research was to understand the weathering process and environmental impact of heavy metals and metalloids from the old antimony (Sb) mine sites in Sulzburg. In this study, we examined the mineralogy and whole-rock chemistry and per-formed soil sequential extraction and water chemical analysis around mine sites. The results show that the Sb deposits in Sulzburg contain mixtures of antimony-lead-bearing sulfides and sulfosalts in hydrothermal quartz veins. The primary ore stibnite (Sb2S3) and boulangerite (Pb5Sb4S11) occur associated with pyrite, arsenopyrite, and sphalerite. The whole-rock chemistry of Sb-Mine Sulzburg is characterized by considerable Sb2O3 (4-25 %) and PbO contents (2-7 %). This agrees with the che-mical composition of Sb minerals. Based on soil sequential extraction, toxic elements (Sb, Pb, As) mostly remain in the residual fraction. Comparing the water analysis at and around Sb-mine Sulzburg, Sb concentrations are lower than those of As and Pb for all water samples. This is possible due to the strong affinity of Sb to Fe-oxides-hydroxides and amorphous material and a lower mobi-lity, from the source into water. Based on these findings, we argue that sources of toxic elements and weathering process in Sulzburg are important from the ecotoxicity perspective. Changes in oxidizing or reducing conditions can lead to release and mobilization of Sb, As, and Pb into the environment.
Estimation of Leachate Generated from Zimbabwe’s Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) Landfills using a Simple Stochastic Water Balance Model
Authors: Maqhuzu Andile B. , Yoshikawa Kunio , Takahashi Fumitake
Published: August 2019

Landfilling remains the predominant component in the waste management hierarchy of most developing nations. The adoption of emerging waste management technologies and the use of recycling or composting is still in its infancy. Among several inadequacies of current waste management practices in Zimbabwe is the absence of sanitary disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) in landfills. As a result, the leachate generation rate and leachate characteristics are not routinely monitored. Such information is essential when assessing the impact of leachate on ground and surface water or a facility to which the leachate can be conveyed. Indiscriminate disposal of MSW at unsanitary dumpsites poses a double threat as the discharge of hazardous leachate to potable water sources and emissionsof toxic odours leads to further environmental degradation. Poor waste management practices are compounded by a lack of financial resources and technical capabilities. The financial incapacitation of local authorities is reflected in the fact that there are no reliable statistics on MSW generation and disposal. This lack of comprehensive data has hampered the quantification of MSW and resultant leachate. Therefore, the objectives of this study are twofold. First, we seek to predict the annual quantity of landfilled MSW, and secondly to quantify the leachate flow from Zimbabwe’s landfills. Both were achieved through the use of probability models and a stochastic water balance method supported by 10,000 Monte Carlo iterations. The calculated 90%confidence interval indicates that 13-16 million tonsof MSW havebeen landfilled, with about 41-128 million m3of leachate released since 1980. This is equivalent to a mean of 414,212tons a-1of landfilled MSW and 2.2 millionm3a-1of leachate generated, respectively.

Published: August 2019

Cassava starch mills in Nakhon Ratchasimaprovince operate biogas plants to generate renewable energy from surplus cassava pulp using anaerobic digestion (AD) technologies. However, the biogas yields fluctuate and digestion failure occurs due to suboptimal digester configuration and lack of understanding of the specific properties of cassava pulp substrate. This study used acid-alkaline and thermal pre-treatment to modify the cassava pulp substrate to enhance biogas yields. Concentrated 36N sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and 20M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was chosen as an acid-alkaline pre-treatment to adjust to the required pH for the substrates, and 45 minat 200 ̊C for the thermal pre-treatment. Extreme pH adjusted substrates such as T1, T2, T12 and T13 required both acid and alkali in high volume, and inhibition occurred from both acid and alkali resulting in retardation of fermentation by hydrolytic bacteria, a lower volatile fatty acid to total alkalinity ratio (VFA/TA), more depletion of reducing sugars and a lower bio-methane yield. The results showed Soluble Chemical Oxygen Demand (SCOD) obtained from decomposition of lignocellulosic structure of fresh cassava pulp by combined thermal-chemical pre-treatment, was found highest in T2 which was pre-treated at pH2 having more than 100 g L-1. Though SCOD could be enhanced by acid-alkaline pre-treatment, it led to inhibition driven by radicals of acid and alkaline. Three different mixing ratios, i.e. 3%, 5%, and 10%(w/v) were compared against without pre-treated samples, and found 5%Total Solids (TS)was most suitable after subjected to acid-alkaline pre-treatment and produced biogas yield at 4125.2 mL kg-1TS in batch digestion for 21 d. Pre-treatment was found increase bio-methane by up to a factor of six.

Published: August 2019

With increased water demand, reservoir operation has become more complex with the need to quantify the exact amount of water needed for each demand sector. The environmental flow requirement, also known as instream flow is regarded as the first-prioritized objective of the multipurpose water resources projects in Thailand. The capability of reservoirs in Thailand to allocate water for environmental needs depends on available supply, strategies and operating policy. Therefore, this study aims to assess the environmental flow requirements of Khun Dan PrakanChon Dam using three methods; 1) the hydrological method (Tennant, Tessmann, 7Q10, FDC, and VMF), 2) hydraulic method (R2CROSS and wetted perimeter) and 3) habitat simu-lationmethod, using the PHABSIM model for physical habitat simulation of aquatic organisms in the Nakhon Nayok River. The hydrological approach was performed under the historically-naturalized flow data of the NY.1B station and established hydrologic flow regime during low flow and high flow months. The environmental flow rates obtained from two hydraulic methods were based upon field observations at the NY.1B station significantly. However, the biological conditions and interactions of aquatic organisms in the river were not principally characterized in hydrologic and hydraulic approaches. In addition, the estimated results performed by habitat simulation model gave an additional meaning of ecological flow needs mainly for aquatic habitat conservation in the river. By integrating the conditions of hydrologic and hydraulic flow regimes as well as the habitat conservation objectives, environmental flow rates of 8-10 cm were recommended to determine the downstream release of Khun Dan Prakan Chon Dam; these recommendations were very close to those derived using the Tessmann, 7Q10 and PHABSIM methods-Tennant and flow duration curve methods.

Published: August 2019

In this study, extracellular biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was carried out using Alternaria alternata. AgNPs were synthesized using vegetative and cell-free filtrate methods. Silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution was reduced with fungal mycelial mass and cell-free filtrate at a ratio of 1:4 (v/v). Further, the effects of biosynthesis parameters (reaction time, reaction temperature, light and dark incubation, and static and agitated conditions) weredetermined. The structural integrity of the synthesized AgNPs was investigated through UV-visible spectrophotometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Parameter optimization revealed that cell-free filtrate AgNP synthesis at 40 °C with constant agitation and incubation in darkness for 120 h using 1 mM AgNO3resulted in the highest absorbance value (at 400 nm). Further, TEM images showed that the synthesized AgNPs were spherical, homogeneous, and well dispersed while the XRD peaks confirmed the purity of the AgNPs obtained. The diameters of the AgNPs were found to range from 7.48 to 12.15 nm. This study identifies Alternaria alternata as a potential candidate for use in the industrial biosynthesis of AgNPs.

Authors: Rummasak Thoucha
Published: August 2019

The objectives of this research were to identify (1) correlation between annual average concentration of ambient PM10 and prevalence of out-patients with respiratory diseases; (2) the relative risk and attributable proportion of out-patients with respiratory disease due to long-term exposure to ambient PM10; and (3) the correlation between annual average concentration ofambient PM10 and the relative risk of out-patients with respiratory disease. Time-series data of annual average concentration of ambient PM10 and prevalence rate of out-patients with respiratory disease during an 11- year period (2004-2014) in the study area were obtained from the Pollution Control Department, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and the Bureau of Policy and Strategy, Ministry of Public Health, respectively. To estimate the relationship, Pearson’s product moment correlations between variables were calculated and significance testing of correlation coefficients were carried out. A retrospective cohort method was used to study the annual average concentration of ambient PM10 ratio, the relative risk and the attributable proportion. No association was found between the annual average concentration of ambient PM10 and the prevalence rate of out-patients with respiratory disease; however, there was a highly significant positive relationship between the annual average concentration of ambient PM10 ratio and the relative risk of out-patients with respiratory disease (r = 0.852, df = 4, p < 0.05). The relative risk of out-patients with respiratory disease due to exposure to the annual average concentration of ambient PM10 equal to or higher than 30 μg/m3 varied within the range of 0.99 - 1.14, and the attributable proportion of out-patients with respiratory disease were about 10 % and 3 % attributed to exposure to the annual average concentration of ambient PM10 higher than 30 μg m-3 and 40 μg m-3, respectively.

Authors: Sendow Theo Kurniawan
Published: August 2019

This study was aimed to determine the level of CO concentration due to traffic flows, know the traffic (vehicle) volume, traffic (vehicle) speed and wind speed, find out the relationship between traffic (vehicle) volume, traffic (vehicle) speed, wind speed and CO concentration using a regression model as well as examine the parameters influencing air pollution due to traffic flows. The primary data used in this study were the sample data of CO tested directly in the field and the sampling was done using Ecoline 6000 Gas Analyzer tool. The research sites covered 1) the segment of Sam Ratulangi Street in Manado representing the street locations with many multi-rise buildings and high building density, 2) the segment of Ahmad Yani Street in Manado representing the street locations with many trees, and 3) the segment of Pierre Tendean Street in Manado representing the street locations with open areas (beachsides). In this modeling, the independent variables were the total traffic volume, the average traffic speed as well as the wind speed and direction. The dependent variable was Carbon Monoxide (CO) with increased concentrations. Using the three independent variables, there were total 7 (seven) variable combinations used. Then, the obtained model was validated using the surveyed data. The maximum vehicle volume was 4,281.60 pcu/hour (pcu = passenger car unit) and the maximum vehicle speed was 32 km/hour. Meanwhile, the maximum wind speed generated was 7.5 km/hour and the maximum level of air pollution (CO) was 12.86 ppm (ppm = part per million). In this study, it was obtained the best model for each of the three locations. The results showed that the air pollution (CO) level of street locations with low wind speed, such as Sam Ratulangi street which is a closed area with many multi-rise buildings and high building density, was much higher than that of street locations with many trees growing in the median of streets with a distance of 1 meter from the edge of street pavement and also higher than that of street locations with open areas (beachsides). This is because a higher wind speed can disseminate or divide the concentration level of air pollution (CO) to various places. Air pollution control covers three stages namely the prevention, countermeasure, and recovery of air quality.

Published: August 2019

Nowadays, many people who live in remote islands of Indonesia are still facing difficulties in terms of access to information. In the locations where end-to-end communication is not available, the asynchronous approach can be utilized to send information in the form of digital data. In some areas, we could utilize passenger ships or ferries as physical carriers to deliver digital data to the people in the remote islands which are located at a particular range of distance from the ship’s passing routes. This paper reports the channel performance of long-range WiFi connection oversea at 5 GHz using the real ship’s route at the North Sulawesi province‘s water in Indonesia as a sample scenario. The measurement results showed that the most stable ship-to-shore communication can be achieved in ±15 minutes at the maximum distance between the ship and shore of about 4 km. The maximum channel capacity was 120 Mbps for upload (from ship to shore) and 53 Mbps for download (from shore to ship), which is enough to deliver gigabytes of information to the people at the islands every time the ship passes by.

Published: August 2019

The existing drainage system of roads proposed to manage the quantity of runoff from the road only, while the quality remains uncontrolled. In fact the pollutants and waste originated from the road surface contains hazardous substances. Sustainable drainage system (SUDS) concept offers various structures to solve both quantity and quality problems of surface runoff from roads. One of the potential drainage structure is filter drain or infiltration trench develope along the right side and left side of road. It could be developed by retrofitting the existing drainage channel of the road. The objective of this paper proposes the design model of road drainage based on the concept of a sustainable urban drainage system. The model consists of U-ditch channel, reservoir, an infiltration well. The bottom of U-ditch channel completed with a number of holes to make it porous. The channel filled with aggregate to filter the runoff from the road before flow down into the reservoir beneath. The water is then discharged to infiltration well. The model was developed based on rainfall data and other physical characteristics in Ambarawa City, Semarang Regency, Central Java.The channel dimensions and the depth of aggregate filter were designed base on runoff volume. The relationship among rainfall, runoff volume, area ratio, and drainage dimension are obtained. The results concept of sustainable road drainage is obtained in addressing the quality and quantity of rainwater.
The Influence of Flood Discharge to the Stability of River Morphology
Authors: Mananoma Tiny , Koagouw Yohanis W.Y.
Published: August 2019

Sedimentation has been an issue for a long periode of time. It affects the river morphology process which is constantly changing from time to time due to its sediment supply system. There are 2 main parameters that strongly affect the morphological process and those are discharge and sediment. When the movement of the sediment occur it will lead to degradation and agradation along the river that will affect the river morphology. Because of those processes, the river dynamic characteristic should be considered in structural design.In North Sulawesi, Tondano River has been known as one of the main river and it has a discharge all year around. With rapid land coverage change, dicharge may increase significantly and hence more sediment could be transported. Moreover, there are increase use of the river resources and more structures built along its sides that appeared to have induced more sediment in transport.This paper presented the corelation between discharge of various flow rates and the amount of sediment being transported at these rates along certain river segments. Slight changes on morphology of the river due to degradation and agradation processes at these segments were also displayed Analysis was carried out to evaluate agradation and degradation processes during various flow rate at the middle section of the Tondano River. Prior to this was the analysis of river discharge. This research has confirmed that indeed the sediment transport occurred at the observed river’s segments was due to the varied discharges. The transport therefore instigated the recurrent changes on the river’s morphology this may pose threats to the stability of river’s structures i.e. by means of scouring progression. Solutions suggested to overcome the problem includes: 1). Non-structural or structural reinforcement on the river bank; and 2). Sediment management to overcome the degradation and agradation processes.

“Lágrimas fracas, dores mínimas, chuvas outonais”: a poética da melancolia em três escritoras lusófonas
Authors: Stacul Juan Filipe
Published: August 2019

No presente trabalho, pretende-se realizar uma investigação acerca das relações entre melancolia, enunciação e literatura, especificamente, em três grandes nomes da poesia contemporânea em língua portuguesa: Noémia de Sousa (Moçambique), Florbela Espanca (Portugal) e Ana Cristina Cesar (Brasil). Para tanto, foram selecionados textos em que se verifica a recorrência da dicção melancólica como traço constituinte da lírica de cada uma das poetisas. Pretende-se, com tal análise, verificar que a constituição de uma poética da melancolia nessas autoras, resguardados os devidos panoramas histórico-culturais, instaura-se no limiar entre os questionamentos existenciais do indivíduo e a crítica aos modelos institucionais e às questões políticas e sociais vigentes, estabelecendo um processo que reverbera uma melancolia coletiva na voz do eu-lírico.

Neste artigo, investigou-se a presença dos modos de criação cênica a partir de alguns elementos da Dança-teatro e do Teatro-físico no Teatro Pós-dramático. Desse modo, a construção cênica teve como um dos alicerces da pesquisa o conto “A caixinha de música” do Caio Fernando Abreu e as movimentações tiveram ênfase na repetição de movimento ou gesto, na abstração da construção dramatúrgica, além de um trabalho sobre as possibilidades da movimentação que visam criar uma narrativa principal para além de uma fábula com linearidade dramatúrgica. Portanto, buscou-se um trabalho cênico que tenha o corpo como principal vetor de base para a criação cênica e uma disruptura do teatro clássico, o qual possui em suas bases a conexão dramatúrgica por meio de texto falado e ações claras e condizentes com a construção de um personagem realista.
A construção da personagem Arthur por meio de sua conexão com a cozinha no romance "The Solid Mandala", de Patrick White
Authors: Stefani Monica
Published: August 2019

RESUMO: Este artigo apresenta a relação da personagem Arthur com as atividades na cozinha, mais precisamente a fabricação de pão e manteiga, como um modo de favorecimento de sua construção narrativa (seguindo as proposições da holandesa Mieke Bal) no romance The Solid Mandala (1966), do escritor australiano Patrick White, prêmio Nobel de Literatura em 1973. A partir de trechos selecionados, demonstramos como se dá essa atividade na trama e todas as repercussões advindas delas, destacando a socialização entre personagens, mas principalmente a constituição identitária de Arthur: é ele quem tem a “missão” de fazer esses produtos que, inevitavelmente, vão sustentar a ele e a seu irmão até o final de suas vidas (desse modo negando a “trivialidade” da atividade). Se esse romance demonstra o poder que a literatura possui de transcender a nossa mera existência em qualquer espaço, podemos fazer a mesma analogia com a culinária: a literatura está para a cozinha assim como a cozinha está para a literatura, alimentando seres.

ABSTRACT: This paper analyses the relationship of the character Arthur with his activities in the kitchen, more precisely the baking of bread and churning of butter, as a way to favour his narrative construction in the novel The Solid Mandala (1966), by the Australian writer Patrick White, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1973. From selected excerpts, we demonstrate how these activities takes place in the plot and all the repercussions coming from them, highlighting socialization among the characters, but mainly the identity formation of Arthur: he is the one who has the “mission” to make these products which, inevitably, will sustain him and his brother until the end of their lives (thus denying the “triviality” of such works). If this novel proves how powerful literature is in making us transcend our mere existence in any space, we can make an analogy with cooking: as literature is to cooking so cooking is to literature, nurturing beings.

A noção de transferência cultural
Authors: Espagne Michel , Magri Dirceu
Published: August 2019

Toda passagem de um objeto cultural de um contexto para outro tem por consequência uma transformação de seu sentido, uma dinâmica de ressemantização, que só se pode reconhecer plenamente se levarmos em conta os vetores históricos da passagem. Logo, pode-se dizer que a pesquisa sobre as transferências culturais diz respeito à maioria das ciências humanas, mesmo se ela se desenvolveu a partir de uma série de pontos de ancoragem específicos. O estudo das transferências culturais leva a relativizar a importância da comparação e, acima de tudo, a noção de centro.

A escrita em si como mecanismo de memória em "Mano, a noite está velha", de Wilson Bueno
Authors: Achre Simone Pinheiro
Published: August 2019

RESUMO: O livro póstumo de Wilson Bueno, Mano, a noite está velha (2011) traz um narrador-personagem, chamado Frederico Souza de Oliveira. Esse personagem apresenta, como ele mesmo afirma, uma “conversa no escuro”. No entanto, ao longo da escrita, o que se percebe é a prática de um monólogo, afirmativa possível visto que se tem uma narrativa em primeira pessoa. O enredo é composto por memórias da vida do protagonista, fatos do cotidiano daquele que os viveu que envolvem o leitor e que demonstra que o ato de escrever é o de conhecer-se a si mesmo.
O papel da mulher na ópera italiana do século XIX
Authors: Viana Isabel
Published: August 2019

Neste artigo refleti sobre o papel que a mulher desempenhou na ópera italiana do século XIX, que, no fundo, espelhava essencialmente o seu papel na sociedade, embora de forma intensificada, pois as emoções, atitudes e comportamentos eram descritos na ópera de forma mais veemente. Analisei ainda o período romântico e as suas caraterísticas na ópera italiana e dos seus representantes mais célebres: Rossini (1792–1868), Donizetti (1797–1848), Bellini (1801–1835), Verdi (1813–1901) e Puccini (1858–1924), ainda que este seja já catalogado como pertencente ao Verismo (Realismo / Naturalismo nos estudos literários).
Le mythe de Cléopâtre dans "L'Heure sexuelle' (1898), de Rachilde
Authors: Lojo Tizón Carmen
Published: August 2019

Cet article vise à analyser la réécriture du mythe de Cléopâtre dans le roman L’Heure sexuelle (1898) de Rachilde (1860-1953), écrivaine française proche du courant décadent qui développa sa carrière littéraire dès les dernières décennies du XIXème siècle jusqu’à la première moitié du XXème siècle. L’Heure sexuelle entretient une relation d’intertextualité avec le mythe/légende de Cléopâtre à partir de l’identification de la reine égyptienne avec une jeune prostituée du Paris fin de siècle. Dans ce sens, Rachilde mène à bout une transposition hétérodiégétique du mythe étant donné qu’elle l’adapte suivant les préceptes de l’imaginaire de la Décadence française.

Currently a data sharing and data backup is been maintained by the intermediator of cloud admin provider also to reduce the cost of intermediator management and to get an authentication. It is introducing to provide a security and efficient access to large amount of outsourced data. In this project we are proposing a key distribution to solve the problem (encryption and decryption). As the user is provided two types of key by the admin to secure the data outsourcing and data backup which is been encrypted and decrypted so that threading and attacks can be reduced using cryptography based key mechanism. We are introducing a key mechanism using RSA and AES for generating keys files to secure the data. By this cryptographic key mechanism, the cloud users are free from the data management, consumption of time, cost.

The work is aimed to replace conventional refrigerants used in air cooling system with Air Cycle Machine (ACM). Commercial Air-conditioners uses the refrigerants (Freon-Gas cycle) to remove the indoor air from the room. Freon leakage causes health problems such as respiratory ailments, heart attack and circulatory collapse. Air conditioning systems made based on desiccants. Refrigerant poisoning results in Throat swelling, loss of vision, blood vomiting, blood in the stool, severe abdominal pain and even death is possible. This can be overcome by using air cycle cooling process instead of Freon as a phase changing material. Air Cycle Machine is the system used in aircraft cabin pressurization and cooling system which does not uses refrigerants in the cooling process. The analytical work carried out in this paper is to study the air conditioning system using Air Cycle Machine and investigate the air flow inside the room by giving the various inlet temperatures and the inlet velocity of the Air-conditioner. ANSYS-FLUENT 16.0 is used for the analytical study. A cabin enclosure was modeled and analyzed for different inlet temperatures and velocities and out coming cool air spread nature for the given conditions have been observed. The qualitative results of this study clearly evident the usage of Air Cycle Machine (ACM) is prominently reduces the room temperature than the refrigerant system and spreads the cool air throughout the enclosed room makes a comfortable environment and this would not leads to any health hazards. Thus this study is certain to use Air Cycle Machine (ACM) for the cabin cooling system rather than refrigerants.
