This paper presents a hybrid approach based on AHP and belief theory for evaluating sustainable transport solutions. The approach consists of four steps. In the first step, we identify the criteria for evaluating the transport measure. In the second step, we collect data on the criteria from...

Several rural farms have installed anaerobic digestion systems as manure management systems. Such systems are also used to provide electricity and heating. In these systems, biogas is generated from anaerobic digestion of biomass waste and combusted in a boiler and an engine-generator set, to...

The purpose of this study is to compare the different empirical models used for estimation of solar radiation on tilted surface. For this, three isotropic and same number of anisotropic sky models were employed by using average monthly mean value of solar radiation on daily basis at Bhopal,...

The growing energy demand in developing nations has triggered the issue of energy security. This has made essential to utilize the untapped potential of renewable resources. Grid connected PV systems have become the best alternatives in renewable energy at large scale. Performance analysis of...

India faces a severe challenge to ensure adequate nutrition for children and women. Chronic child nutrition deficiency is more prevalent in Madhya Pradesh state of India. Spirulina, multicellular and filamentous cyanobacterium are considered an absolute food supplement to combat malnutrition in...

Hydrocarbon based conventional fuels are considered as fast depleting and harmful to the environment as they release poisonous chemicals to the atmosphere. Higher Alcohols and Biodiesel are the most promising alternative fuels widely researched due to their availability, ease of production and...

There is a growing interest in airport-based solar plant installations around the world. The buffer zone area in airports can effectively be utilized by tapping solar energy. However, it possesses concern for air safety and navigation mainly from the possible glare of the PV array. The objective...
