Abstract: This study presents the thermodynamic performance characteristics; fuel power (FP), brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake power (BP) and Specific fuel consumption (SFC) of petrol and diesel fuel. The experiments were conducted in two stages: constant load and constant speed.In constant load,the load is held constant and the speed is varied, and readings were taken, while in constant speed,the speed is held constant and the load is varied, and readings were taken. These tests were performed on cortina petrol engine testbed and diesel engine testbed for the petrol and diesel fuel respectively.Both engines are four stroke,four cylinder engines. The result showed that petrol engine requires more brake power than the diesel engine,however,the petrol engine has a lower fuel economy than the diesel engine.Thus, petrol engines are generally employed in light duty vehicles such as motorcycles, carsetc while the diesel engines are generally employed in heavy duty vehicles like trucks and earth moving equipment.

Abstract: Increasing in the industrial construction activities depending on conventional materials of concrete can lead to increased construction cost as well as scarcity of construction materials. This research was conducted aiming investigation of the changes in the mechanical properties of concrete following incorporation of different percentages of ceramic powder as partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement for compressive, split tensile strength and water absorption in comparison with conventional concrete. Experimental Results gained revealed that the concrete incorporated with low percent of ceramic powder exhibited significant elevation in compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, moreover lower water absorption at various ages compared to those of conventional concrete.

Abstract: With rapid improvement in life style of society, waste generation like municipal solid waste(MSW) is increasing which needs constructive utilization. In this paper gas turbine system is operated by burning municipal solid waste (MSW) as fuel in combustion chamber. The power output of gas turbine system is 1 MW operated throughout the year in Kolkata city, West Bengal, India. The excess power generated by gas turbine is used for operating the compressor. The air flow rate and fuel (municipal solid waste) flow rate are maintained in such a way that 1 MW power is obtained throughout the day. The temperature of air entering the compressor is ambient temperature of Kolkata city and gas coming out from combustion chamber is considered at a temperature of 1000 K. In Kolkata city the study..........
