Published: July 2018

This paper presents the conceptual framework of intention to stay among City Traffic Police, Lahore. The high turnover rate among city traffic police officers in Lahore has drawn the attention of the Government as well as academicians. It is believed that city traffic police in Lahore may feel there is limited prospects of career growth and may have negative perceptions on organisational justice. Nevertheless, this has yet to be examined in greater detail. Therefore, this conceptual paper offers a research opportunity to study the impact of perceived organisational justice and career growth on officer’s intention to remain in the organisation. Social exchange theory is applied to this framework. Following this conceptual paper, a full study will be carried out using quantitative research methods. It is hoped that the findings will benefit the City Traffic in Lahore and contribute to the body of knowledge on social exchange theory.

Published: July 2018

This paper presents the results of measuring global solar irradiation in horizontal and vertical surfaces North, South, East and West with the aim to determine the energy loads in which buildings are subjected to in Mexico city, in order to provide the necessary information firstly, for planning and design of new buildings and secondly, for cost benefit analysis in the adaptation of already built structures. Solar irradiation on vertical surfaces plays a major role to determine thermal and energy performance of a building especially important for analysis of active and passive solar systems. A full year data of measurements (2014) have been compiled and analyzed. In addition, the hourly data of this horizontal and vertical measurements were compared with hourly radiation data calculated by means of two different models: the isotropic sky model (Hottel and Woertz model) and one anisotropic sky model (Perez model). The performance of the models were assessed by two common statistical parameters: the relative root mean square error (RMSE) and the mean bias error (MBE). Perez model presented better performance through the year in north, east and west façades, and the isotropic model in south façade.

Disposal of dyes into the environment causes serious damage and they may be toxic to some aquatic organisms due to their breakdown products. The colouring pigments present in the effluent may give aesthetic look and it affects the photosynthetic in plants. The chemical and physical methods have many disadvantages which can overcome by biological method because it is cost saving and environmentally benign. In biological methods, absorbents like Bacteria, fungus, cellular membrane etc. can be used. Since yeast is cheap and more effective it is preferred. In the present study an attempt was made to examine the potential of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae in decolorization of Congo red dye. The influence of different condition in variation of concentration, time and pH in that Study was made to find the optimum condition in which the maximum decolorization was occur.

Our system includes a data distributor who sends some important information to some third parties, called agents in our system. Some data gets leaked and found in an unauthorized place (e.g., on the internet or somebody's PC). The distributor must be able to detect that the data got leaked and came from one or more agents. Our system detects the guilty agent, who has leaked the data to untrusted agents. For identification of leaked data in existing system uses watermarking technique. However, it has a deficiency that watermarking data can be modified or changed. So, In proposed system another technique is used for improving chances of detecting guilty agent is MAC (Media Access Control) address with some more prevention strategies to increase the security of the system.

Published: July 2018

Software Development Organizations are in the need to follow an effective KM strategy for Knowledge acquisition and Knowledge utilization. Even though, knowledge is available in the forms of documents, it is time consuming for the developers to identify and utilize the knowledge according to their need. Hence, we present a KM Trajectory Schema - Service Frame work which offers services for systematic Knowledge acquisition and Knowledge utilization. Knowledge is acquired from the development activity, and then the developer’s code is stored in knowledge base. Knowledge Base Administrator designs a repository; knowledge base is appended by knowledge workers. Assessment and Evaluation of this Knowledge base is been done through the subject experts or knowledge champions. Finally Solution Knowledge Base is built and managed by Knowledge Base Administrators. KM service Framework facilitates Knowledge utilization by providing proactive semantic help for the software developers by the time of the development. KM Service Framework is an experimental collaborative platform that provides great service to the Software Development Organizations.
Two-Phase Fin-Induced Turbulent Cooling for Electronic Devices Using Heat Pump Associated Micro-Gap Heat Sink
Authors: Ahmed Shugata , Sulaeman Erwin , Faris Ismail Ahmad , Hasibul Hasan Muhammad 
Published: July 2018

High energy requirement for electronic cooling is a major problem to operate high performance computers and data centres. Developing low cost thermal management systems for micro-electronic devices and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) is a cutting edge research area. A heat pump system associating micro-gap evaporator with internal micro-fins is a potential candidate for two-phase cooling of these advanced devices. Micro-fins induce pseudo-turbulence in the flow field, which escalates heat transfer rate. In this paper, the system performance of a heat pump using micro-gap evaporator has been investigated numerically and experimentally. As heat transfer rate in the micro-gap evaporator is influenced by turbulence generation, flow field in the inlet and outlet manifolds have been visualized in the numerical simulation to observe fin-induced pseudo-turbulence at the entrance and outlet of the micro-gap evaporator. The simulation has been performed using FLUENT 14.5 release. Experimental work has been carried out to validate numerical results. For experimentation purpose, a test rig has been developed, which contains a test section accommodating the micro-gap evaporator. A heater is provided at the bottom of the evaporator to supply uniform heat flux ranging 1 ~ 8 kW/m2. A pre-heater is installed at the compressor outlet to vary refrigerant temperature at the condenser inlet. The range of pre-heater temperature is 93 ~ 159°C. A variable speed compressor is used. The input frequency to the compressor is varied within the range of 20 ~ 50 Hz to run the compressor at different speeds. Experimental data show good agreement with numerical results. It is observed that in transient state, temperatures and pressures at different locations of the test apparatus fluctuate due to quasi-periodic dry out and surface rewetting nature of the flow. When pre-heater temperature is set at 159⁰C and compressor frequency is increased from 20 Hz to 30 Hz, evaporator wall heat flux escalates 118.2% and heat transfer rate of the condenser increases 65.2%. However, heat transfer rate declines with the further increment of compressor frequency. Coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump also increases with the frequency increment from 20 Hz to 30 Hz and declines after surpassing 40 Hz frequency.

Authors: Pal Rakeshwri , Gupta Sushma 
Published: July 2018

Among various power quality problems, voltage sag and swell are dominant where loads are very sensitive to the voltage disturbances. Various custom power devices are introduced recently to overcome these voltage issues, dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is one of them. It offers very cost effective solution for problems such as voltage sag, swell and harmonics by establishing the proper voltage level during voltage disturbances to protect sensitive loads. In this paper, performance of DVR to improve power quality is done for solar photovoltaic (PV) based generation system feeding the grid and the three phase linear load. Solar PV generation system is implemented with an incre-mental conductance (IC) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique. The DVR is connected in between solar PV system and load. The basic structure of DVR is modified by using the photovoltaic system as an alternative to DC source and in place of conventional 2-level voltage source converter (VSC) neutral point clamped (NPC) multi level inverter is used. The system performance is analyzed in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The simulation results justified the efficiency of modified DVR in the mitigation of voltage sag in distri-bution system. Improvement of power quality by stabilizing voltage during fault and promoting renewable energy is the main framework of this work.
