1. Environmental impacts of nuclear waste. Nuclear waste or radioactive waste is the residue of nuclear reactors‚ nuclear researches‚ nuclear projects and nuclear bomb reaction. Nuclear wastes‚ also known as spent fuel‚ are dangerously radioactive and could exist for thousands of years. The release of nuclear waste from its reactor could easily cause a lot of diseases like acute radiation sickness. The injection of nuclear waste to underground water causes water pollution and could contribute

In the mid-twentieth century‚ there were high uses of toxic pesticides--namely DDT. Overtime these pesticides would have toxic effects on the environment and organisms. An environmentalist named Rachel Carson was greatly bothered by this and wrote the book Silent Spring explaining the toxicity of insecticides and their effects on life. Carson explained the effects that insecticides were having on life at that time‚ and the effects that would happen in the future if insecticide use continued. Silent

1. INTRODUCTION An engine is a device which transforms one form of energy into another form. Most of the engines convert thermal engine to mechanical work and therefore they are called heat engine. Heat engine can be broadly classified into two types. i. Internal combustion engine ii. External combustion engine 1.1 CLASSIFICATION OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE:- This type of engine is again classified into two types. i. Rotary ii. Reciprocating The reciprocating engine is a highly complex

VIPAR ENGINEERING PYROLISIS PLANT INNOVATIVE DESIGN WITH LOW INSTALLATION COST AND HIGHER EFICIENCY Technology Pyrolysis involves heating waste tyres /plastic without oxygen to break them down to char or carbon black‚ oil‚ and gas. Plants operate within a temperature range of 250° - 500°C.At temperatures above approximately 150°C tires release increasing amounts of liquid oil products and gases. Above 400°C‚ depending on the process employed‚ the yield of oil and solid tire-derived char may
