ABSTRACT Solar energy is received from sun can be converted into useful energy in the form of heat energy. One of the most efficient method water is heated using solar flat plate collector. This heated water can be used for domestic as well as industrial applications. The efficiency of collector depends with many parameters such […]

ABSTRACT Glaucoma is an eye disease characterized by an increase in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) which affects the eye and causes blindness. It is a degenerative disease that damages the nerve fiber layer in the retina of the eye. Its mechanisms are not fully known and there is no fully-effective strategy to prevent visual impairment and […]

ABSTRACT For the evolution of innovative robots, the method of approach that plays a vital role is biological inspiration. The concept of the Inspire-Abstract-Implement (IAI) design flow as a criterion for innovative, biologically inspired robots are introduced in this article. With the exploitation of their soft structures, animals are able to move effectively in complex […]

ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to study the performance of the cooling towers and the factors affecting this performance and hence improving its efficiency by applying various methods the conducted research dealt with measuring performance parameters like temperature and flow rates of air and water in and out of the tower during a […]

ABSTRACT This paper delivers a description of modeling and constructing a small, low Reynolds number, open loop, subsonic wind tunnel. It also briefly discusses a process to generate smokes for visualizing the invisible air while passing over a bluff body. This work mainly aims at understanding the factors influence the design of a wind tunnel, […]

ABSTRACT Topological analysis based on graph theory, has the merit of revealing the relevant properties of the structure of a network system.In this working paper, the topological analysis is used to analyse the structural properties of the project risk network. The main idea here is that the risks faced by a large infrastructure project are […]

ABSTRACT System level modeling and faster architectural exploration is becoming very essential to achieve a better cost-performance trade off, short time to market, to determine the success and failure of the system and to narrow down the design space early in the design stage [1]. Simulation based system level modeling and analysis involves dynamic and […]

ABSTRACT The word Solar in the title of the project has key importance because our main aim to develop this project was to introduce such a refrigeration system which could utilize the solar energy instead of electricity.Besides solar energy,the system could also be run on waste heat from engines,turbines etc.As sun is the ultimate source […]

ABSTRACT Sri Lanka glass industry is mainly engaged in glass container production from the year of Second World War. On average, energy cost in the glass industry account for around 14% of total glass production cost.  Energy efficiency improvement is an important way to reduce these costs and to increase predictable earnings, especially in times […]

ABSTRACT Thermoelectric devices convert temperature gradient to electric voltage, and vice-versa. With the rising awareness about global warming and the scarcity of fossil fuels, these devices recently drew worldwide attention. Thermoelectric devices have emerged as promising power generating source from waste heat without burning any extra fuel. Due to this green feature and distinct advantages, […]
