The Sri Lankan northwestern coast has been identified as having significant wind power potential. Higher electricity generation from wind has been influenced by favorable terrain and geographic location. The government of ...
Global warming and climate change, a result of abundant anthropogenic GHG emissions, is the fundamental human development obstacle in the 21st century. In Sri Lanka, buildings and services account for roughly 29.72% of ...
Drying is an essential part of most industrial material processing operations. Similarly, it takes a typically large capital expenses and operating cost. There are various types of dryers used in activated carbon processing ...
The cost of air conditioning in tropical climates makes the biggest contribution to the energy bill in most domestic, commercial, and industrial settings. Improving the air circulation and thereby enhancing the thermal ...
Integrated Building Control Systems (IBCS) may consist of public address and pipe music systems (PAPMS), elevator management systems, fire/life protection and detection systems, CCTV systems, access control systems, and ...
Along the main roads, Sri Lanka's coastline regions are fast urbanizing and expanding. The progress of these development works increased the population inside the urban areas, which created new social and economic issues. ...
This thesis investigates the potential energy saving benefits associated with high delta T chilled water designs compared to conventional low delta T designs in office buildings. This high delta T requirement specified in ...
This study investigates the potential for reduction of makeup water consumption by recovering condensate captured from Air Handling Units (AHUs) and Fan Coil Units (FCUs) of central chilled water system in hot and humid ...
Energy-efficiency concerns have changed several design trends, and chilled water systems are now designed for different delta T values. The delta T affects the coil sizes of Air Handling Unit (AHU) and Fan Coil Unit (FCU), ...
Laboratory waste is overlooked because of its low flow rate, despite the fact that it has a negative influence on the human and environmental systems. As a result, the focus of this research is on using clay biochar ...
The results of a study into the development of novel Thermoelectric (TE) materials by engineering nanoscale constrictions are presented in this thesis. The aim of this investigation lies in the development of an enhanced ...
Manual handling is an indispensable activity in any occupational setting. It is any activity that requires the use of human force for lifting, carrying or moving an object. Such repetitive and tiring tasks may cause ...
Manufacturing organizations are using a considerable amount of energy for their daily manufacturing operations and more than 60% of their total energy use is for thermal applications. Therefore, systems that use thermal ...
Over the past few years, positive changes have occurred in the manufacturing industry and many other fields as a direct result of current breakthroughs in nanotechnology. The integration of nano-sized solid lubricants into ...
The aim of this study is to understand the microscopic behavior of heat and momentum
transfer in nanofluids. With nanofluids reporting enhanced thermal conductivities (𝜅)
and viscosities (𝜂), a microscopic understanding ...
Wearable exosuits require flexible, linearly contractile, and lightweight actuators to
provide sufficient force to move the respective limb. This thesis presents the concept,
design, fabrication, experimental performance ...
Food packaging plays a vital role in human existence by eliminating barriers to satisfying food
requirements regardless of geography. Since food is a basic requirement of all human beings, a
billion-dollar industry has ...
An analysis of global, beam and diffuse solar radiation on horizontal and 7° tilt about east west axis and facing due south orientation at Hambanthota was carried out to assess the solar resource potential in dry zone of ...
Solar photovoltaic (PV) is penetrating electrical grids with a substantial growth of new additions, as a result of renewable energy policies and plans implemented locally and globally. However, the intermittent nature of ...
Open sun drying is the widely used passive method for black pepper drying, but due to its
limitations such as unavailability on rainy days, lack of controllability, degradation of food
quality, loss of volatile oil, and ...
