Use of Biogas Energy in Poultry Farming Heatingtheijes
Energy shortage is a global issue that is more severe in Jordan. One of the solutions to this problem in rural areas is the use of biogas energy either in heating applications or for electricity generation. The paper discusses the feasibility of using biogas produced from the fermentation of cow dung for the purpose of heating a standard poultry house, located around Queen Alia airport in the middle of Jordan. This work includes gathering information of a real poultry house and approximating some of its specifications; to calculate the required heating load of it throughout a whole year, which reached a maximum of (62.39 kW) in January. The next step is to find how much local traditional type of fuels, LPG and Diesel, are needed for the heating of this house. After that, through some calculations, the amount of biogas required and the amount of cow dung needed for its production is found. Finally, a financial analysis is applied to confirm the feasibility of this approach, which showed a payback period of about 15 months for the biogas system compared traditional heating fuel systems.

Innovative strategies for energy optimizationeSAT Journals
Abstract Optimization of energy production systems is a relevant issue that must be considered in order to follow the fossil fuels consumption reduction policies and the CO2 emission regulation. Increasing electricity production from renewable resources (e.g. photovoltaic systems and wind farms) is desirable but its unpredictability is a cause of problems for the main grid stability. The multi-energy system represents an efficient solution, by realizing an interface among renewable energy sources, energy storage systems and conventional power generators. Direct consequences of multi-energy systems are wider energy flexibility and benefits for the electric grid. In this study the performances of a multi-energy system in dynamic regime have been evaluated and a comparison with a conventional system has been performed. The results show how this innovative energetic approach can provide a cost reduction in power supply and energy fees of 40% and 25% respectively and CO2 emission decrease attained around 18%. Furthermore, the multi-energy system taken as case of study has been optimized through the utilization of three different type of energy storage (Pb-Ac batteries, Flywheels and Micro-Caes).

In the current work, a thermoelectric power generation system was designed for an assessment of opportunities in terms of electricity production through the utilization of waste heat from sugarcane industries. In this study, the thermoelectric cooling of TEC1-12708T200 was appropriate for use in electric power generation from low-grade heat sources. The experiments used ten thermoelectric modules and an aluminum water block installed on the exterior surface area of a sugar boiler to achieve the same water flow as a traditional system. The results revealed that the power generation system could generate about 30 W (25.7 V, 1.17 A) at a matched load of approximately 36.8 Ω. The thermoelectric power generation system could convert 12.5% of heat energy into electrical energy. Therefore, the thermoelectric power generation system designed in this study could be an effective alternative for waste heat recovery in sugarcane industries.

Competitive bidding is a Medicare program that requires home medical equipment providers to bid on contracts to supply equipment, with contracts going to the lowest bidders. This disrupts beneficiaries' relationships with local providers and can make it harder to access necessary equipment and services. Under competitive bidding, many beneficiaries must change providers and may face longer waits, travel farther for care, or be unable to get their preferred equipment or access new technologies. Rural beneficiaries are especially impacted as chosen providers tend to be located in metropolitan areas.

Competitive bidding is a Medicare program that requires home medical equipment providers to bid on contracts to supply equipment, with contracts going to the lowest bidders. This disrupts beneficiaries' relationships with local providers and can make it harder to access necessary equipment and services. Under competitive bidding, many beneficiaries must change providers and may face longer waits, travel farther for care, or be unable to get their preferred equipment or access new technologies. Rural beneficiaries are especially impacted as chosen providers tend to be located in metropolitan areas.

COMPUTATIONAL STUDY OF COOLING OF PV SOLAR PANEL USING FINNED HEAT PIPE TECHN...IAEME Publication
Various solar energy technologies exist and they have different application techniques in the generation of electrical power. The widespread use of photovoltaic (PV) modules in such
technologies has been relatively high costs and low efficiencies. The efficiency of PV panel decreases as the operating temperature increases. This is due to reflection from the top surface, absorption of heat by the parts other than the cell, absorption of heat from the other portion of the spectrum.
This document summarizes a computational study on using finned heat pipes to cool photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. The study uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model heat transfer from a solar panel through a heat pipe with attached fins. The CFD analysis shows that attaching fins to a heat pipe can reduce the temperature of a solar panel by up to 20°C compared to no cooling. This temperature reduction can increase the panel's efficiency and power output. The study aims to develop a passive cooling system for PV panels using a low-cost finned heat pipe design.
The document proposes a waste heat recovery management system to capture and utilize waste heat from gas stoves. Approximately one-fourth of the energy produced by a gas stove is lost as heat.

Modification of Cost Equation for Optimization of Cutting Parameters in Turni...IJLT EMAS
This document presents a modification to the conventional cost equation for machining processes like turning. The conventional cost equation treats energy cost as a constant overhead cost. The modified cost equation presented treats energy cost as a variable that depends on cutting parameters like cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. This allows the effect of varying these parameters on energy consumption and cost to be analyzed. An experimental case study on turning EN8 steel is used to compare costs calculated from the conventional and modified equations. The results show the modified equation yields lower total costs and that energy cost accounts for a more significant portion of the total cost compared to the conventional equation. This highlights the importance of considering energy cost explicitly when optimizing cutting parameters for minimum cost.

A OVERVIEW OF THE RANKIN CYCLE-BASED HEAT EXCHANGER USED IN INTERNAL COMBUSTI...IAEME Publication
The majority of the heat produced by automobiles, primarily by diesel engines, is squandered in various ways. If this waste heat is collected, it can be applied in a variety of other ways. Recently, increased emphasis has been placed on the global issue of rapid economic growth, a relative energy scarcity, internal combustion engine exhaust waste heat, and environmental degradation. The remaining heat is released into the environment through exhaust gases and engine cooling systems, leading to an increase in entropy and significant environmental pollution, so it is necessary to convert waste heat into useful work. Of the total heat supplied to the engine in the form of fuel, approximately 30 to 40% is converted into useful mechanical work. At 4000 RPM, the exhaust gas temperature is at its highest. So a recovery system is created for a constant RPM of 4000. A shell and tube heat exchanger and a uniflow steam engine connected to the main engine make up the recovery system. By reducing the frictional power at the main engine's power stroke and idle stroke, the linked steam engine increases the efficiency of the main engine. Due to the additional recovery system, the system's initial cost is significant. But over time, the system turns out to be profitable.

Techno-Economic Analysis of Biomass Integrated Electricity Generation Systemtheijes
With Ghana’s quest to accomplish a nationwide electrification where 100% of citizens will have access to electricity, various power projects are underway. However, in spite of the fact that there is an abundance of biomass resource, little attention has been paid to the potential of this resource in power generation. This paper discusses the energy potential of cocoa pod husks of which over a million tonnes are produced but wasted annually. A biomass integrated combined electricity generation system is simulated using cocoa pod husks as fuel with the aspen plus simulation software. An ORC and a bottoming Stirling Engine generator integrated into a biomass gasification plant generates 1.3 MW of power at an overall plant efficiency of 36.69%. A comparison with an existing 2.5 MW solar power plant showed that although the total capital cost for the biomass integrated combined power plant was higher, it was more economical in the long term operations as the payback time for the difference in capital cost is approximately 12.55 years. The biomass integrated power plant however produces 1.98 GWh more power than the solar power plant annually. Also it is realised that the national electricity production will be increased by 4.8% if all the cocoa pod husks are used biomass fuel to generate electricity using the same plant configuration and specifications

A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PERFO...IAEME Publication
The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of aspects of Organizational Culture on the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System (PMS) in the Health Care Organization at Thanjavur. Organizational Culture and PMS play a crucial role in present-day organizations in achieving their objectives. PMS needs employees’ cooperation to achieve its intended objectives. Employees' cooperation depends upon the organization’s culture. The present study uses exploratory research to examine the relationship between the Organization's culture and the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System. The study uses a Structured Questionnaire to collect the primary data. For this study, Thirty-six non-clinical employees were selected from twelve randomly selected Health Care organizations at Thanjavur. Thirty-two fully completed questionnaires were received.
Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
