ABSTRACT: The NURTURE water purification project provides a small‚ economical‚ water purification system that may be applied on a larger scale. The design has minimal moving parts‚ thereby reducing the risk of mechanical failure. The final device is driven from a windmill interface. The design easily separates waste and optimizes clean water output. The NURTURE water purification project is intended to fulfill the requirements of the ASME design competition and then be adapted to use a renewable

proteins‚ especially caseins which maintain its liquid form. Proteases are enzymes that are added to milk during the process of cheese production‚ to hydrolize caseins‚ like kappa caseins‚ which stabilizes micelle formation and thus preventing milk coagulation. On the other hand‚ rennet and rennin are general terms for enzymes used to coagulate milk. The Chymosin enzyme which can be obtained from animal‚ microbial‚ or vegetable sources‚ is responsible for up to 70% of cheese production. It is now possible

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION: An aqua silencer is used to control the noise and emission in ic engines. The reason why we go for aqua silencer is‚ in today life the air pollution causes physical ill effects to the human beings and also the environment. The main contribution of the air pollution is automobiles releasing the gases like carbon dioxide‚ unburned hydrocarbons etc. In order to avoid this type of gases by introducing this aqua silencer. It is fitted to the exhaust pipe of the engine
