Hardcover. Condition: As New. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Types of greenhouse. 3. Greenhouse construction. 4. Greenhouse heating and cooling. 5. Simple thermal model for greenhouse and parametric studies. 6. Analytical approach for calculation of solar radiation inside a semicylindrical greenhouse. 7. Time dependent thermal modelling of greenhouse. 8. Economic analysis. 9. Experimental studies for cultivation inside the greenhouse- a case study. References. "The greenhouse maintains an atmosphere congenial with regards to temperature, humidity, sunlight and carbon-dioxide concentration for the vigorous growth of different types of plants. It has been observed that an ability to exercise control over the crop microclimate results in many fold increase in the crop photosynthesis. Thus agricultural production per unit area could be increased to a great extent and crops can be taken over a wider period of time, if controlled environment practices are followed. The present book gives a comprehensive view of various aspects of greenhouse technology. In this book, detailed experimental, theoretical and techno-economic studies have been undertaken. This book covers different designs of greenhouse suitable for different climatic zone, mathematical model to see the effect of various parameters viz. solar radiation, ambient temperature, ventilation rate etc. on the performance of greenhouse, a procedure to calculate the transmittance of solar radiation depending on angle of incidence through curved surface. This book also covers a time dependent heat and mass transfer analysis of greenhouse to predict inside environmental conditions as well as heating and cooling requirements for maintaining congenial air temperature inside the greenhouse for all climatic zones. One case study has been under taken for cultivation of safed musli and ornamental plants inside the greenhouse under composite climate of Udaipur (Rajasthan, India) and detailed economic analysis has been carried out for above case study using different economic indicators namely Net Present Work (NPW), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit-Cost Ratio (B/C Ratio) and Payback Period. It is hoped that the book will be helpful for students, crop scientists, industrialists interested in designing and industrialist interested in designing and installing greenhouse, farmers and persons interested in greenhouse as they will get all the needed information compiled at one place."

Vapor Absorption Refrigeration, Vapor Adsorption Refrigeration, Evaporative Cooling, Desiccant Cooling, Thermoelectric Refrigeration, Thermo Acoustic Refrigeration, Ejector Cooling, Vortex Tube Refrigeration Systems and Metal Hydride Refrigeration etc. are explored in the subject matter of this book. The combined or integrated approach of some technologies to enhance the performance, waste heat utilization or to increase the arena of its use is also discussed. This book will cater to the needs of the RAC community from the point of view of feasible futuristic options in this area. This book will also serve as a text book for postgraduate students especially of thermal and energy engineering stream and useful to the teachers, researchers, and practicing engineers. (jacket).…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The book is about climate resilience and environmental sustainability approaches, discussing knowledge at global level and the local challenges, presented by authors from various countries. Environmental sustainability is at stake and implications of climate change are clearly visible in most parts of the world. In the times of the prevailing global environmental crisis, this book discusses key issues of climate change and sustainable energy alternatives, waste management and development. It discusses climate change scenario using simulation models in various Asian countries, signatures of climate change in Antarctica, implications in the Indian Ocean and the Indian scenario of REDD+. A special focus has been given on building climate resilience in our agricultural ecosystems and sustainable agriculture. It discusses the prospects and challenges of renewable energy options including biofuels and energy from wastewaters, explores the technical aspects of eco-friendly bioremediation of pollutants, sustainable solid waste management practices and challenges, carbon footprints of industry, and emphasizes on the significance of combining traditional knowledge with modern technology with novel approaches including involvement of social enterprises and corporate social responsibility to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. Contents 1. Introduction. 2. Indian Electricity Sector a critical review of organizational structure reforms and their impact assessment. 3. Distribution sector reforms in India. 4. Efficiency evaluation framework a study of literature and methodology employed in the analysis. 5. Productivity and benchmarking studies for the Indian electric utilities in the Pre Electricity Act 2003 Era. 6. Efficiency and conclusions benchmarking studies for the Indian electric utilities in the Post Electricity Act 2003 Era. 7. Summary and conclusions. References. The Report focuses on evaluation of the performances of the Electric utilities in India. The work is particularly significant in the context of the ongoing reforms in the Indian Electricity Sector. Unfortunately the concept of efficiency in the delivery of power services has been historically alien in the Indian context (even outside India efficiency measurement studies have been relatively scarce in developing countries) and it is now being realized that efficiency evaluation is an integral component of any comprehensive reforms program (The success of a reforms program ultimately has to be measured and quantified). The efficiency evaluation is also necessary for generating competition in the sector and for sector regulation and scientific tariff setting. Hence it is vital for the success of any reforms program to review the performance of existing utilities. Based on the productivity and efficiency analysis benchmarks can be set and targets for improvement may be identified. The report is coming at a crucial time when the Indian Government has initiated measures that promise to revamp the sector. The work presented in the Report is a pioneer study on evaluation of performances in the Indian power sector as so far no known study has attempted such comprehensive sector measurement by employing advanced benchmarking technique such as the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) employed in the present analysis. The work will be particularly useful to various stakeholders in the power industry including the government and the public bodies regulatory authorities funding institutions development institutions and the consumers. The results of the study can provide a common basis for informed policy debate and decisions and can facilitate in initiating a dialogue between stakeholders. 250 pp.…
