Similarities between 2D and 3D convection for large Prandtl number
No full textUsing direct numerical simulations of Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC), we perform a comparative study of the spectra and fluxes of energy and entropy for large and infinite Prandtl numbers in two (2D) and three (3D) dimensions. We observe close similarities between the 2D and 3D RBC, in particular the kinetic energy spectrum , and the entropy spectrum exhibits a dual branch with a dominant spectrum. We showed that the dominant Fourier modes in the 2D and 3D flows are very close
Evaluation and analysis of impact of subsidies on small scale renewable energy technologies dissemination: a case study of Nepal
No full textThe report has analysed the status of rural electrification using renewable energy technologies (RETs) and the current subsidy delivery modality of RETs in Nepal. As the Government of Nepal is subsidizing small scale renewable energy projects, it is important to evaluate and analyse the programme to make sure that a programme is running in an effective and efficient way while reaching the target group.
During the course of the research, primary information collected from the field has been compiled using appropriate tools/software (such as MS Office) and analyzed. Different sets of questionnaires were prepared, targeting different personnel ranging from the users’ level to the government policy level. The field survey methods include field observations of RETs installations and operations along with interviews with selected users on a random sampling basis to identify barriers to subsidy delivery and possible measures to overcome these barriers; to determine user satisfaction level and time period for subsidy delivery mechanisms.
The report started with the country background information and the rationale behind the study. This is followed by the literature review and information on the current status of small scale RETs in the country. Next it deals with the organizational structure and current subsidy delivery modality of RETs in the country. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the subsidy with the current subsidy delivery modality has been analyzed based on six parameters; Targets and Achievements, Impact of RETs, Subsidy Delivery System Efficiency, Transparency, Sustainability and Effectiveness.
The research shows that the subsidized government program has been successful in achieving its goal to provide basic energy services in rural areas through RETs in terms of its quantitative target. Although the subsidized program is successful in electrifying the rural communities via RETs, the poorest of the poor families are still excluded from the subsidy. The program seems to benefit more the rich and upper middle class families rather than the poor families for which the subsidy was intended. The high capital cost and long subsidy delivery process are the main important reasons for this failure. The author has proposed a new modality which might overcome the time barriers and bureaucratic process in the subsidy delivery mechanism and will decrease the lead time. This will in turn help to reduce the operational cost of the private companies and will encourage more players to enter the market, increase competition and result in lower system costs.
After identifying gaps in the current subsidy delivery modality, the project report ends with the recommendation of a new modality improving the current modality and filling the gaps identified. As this study has some limitations, as described in chapter one, the scope of further works has been listed at the end
Optical and photocatalytic properties of undoped and Ca doped NaNbO3
No full textThe adverse effect of growing industrialization has resulted in many environmental, economical and social problems such as global warming etc. To protect the environment and also to resolve these issues, it is necessary to find some good and highly efficient techniques for the treatment of waste water and harmful substances. In order to address these, some catalytic processes have been developed. Among all the known materials, peroveskite ABO3 type of structures viz. NaNbO3 holds special importance because of its nontoxic nature and high photocatalytic properties which can be used for dye degradation, CO2 conversion and hydrogen generation. It also exhibits ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties. In the present study, undoped and Ca-doped (0.5%2.0%,4.0%,6.0%) sodium niobate nanoparticles have been synthesized through chemical precipitation method using ammonium niobate oxalate hydrate (C4H4NNbO9.xH2O) and sodium sulphide (Na2S) as niobium and sodium source, respectively. Various experiments were performed by varying the molar ratio (1:1,1:2,1:5,1:10,1:15,1:20,1:25) at different temperatures (600,700 and 800˚C) for the holding time of 5h. The phase composition, band gap and morphology are investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) respectively. XRD and electron microscopy confirmed the formation of faceted orthorhombic NaNbO3 at 800˚C with the average crystallite size of 23.43 nm. UV–visible absorption spectroscopy showed the optical band gap 3.44 eV and 3.24 for undoped and Ca doped NaNbO3, respectively. Synthesized nanoparticles were used as a photocatalyst to study the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye under visible radiation. Firstly, the concentration of photocatalyst (undoped NaNbO3) has been optimized to degrade 400 mg/L in solution of MB dye (1 mg/L). Now, the degradation of MB dye has been studied with undoped, Ca doped NaNbO3 nanoparticles. From the results, it has been found that Ca doping concentration of 1.0% is optimal for its higher photo physical and photocatalytic properties. Catalyst shows the maximum photo degradation of MB dye in 6h under visible radiation
