Power generation through wastewater using microbial fuel cell
(2023-09)
A Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is a device that
converts Chemical Energy into Electrical Energy with the
help of microorganisms. This research uses MFC to
compare the power generation from two wastewater
samples using ...
Analysis on the components of a crisis management model to be developed for the Sri Lankan construction sector
(2023-09)
The construction sector in Sri Lanka is one of the
diversified sectors. Further, it is one of the main contributors
to the economy of the country. In addition, construction
sector is highly labor-intensive. In the recent ...
Application of HEC-RAS 2D model to simulate scour depth around bridge piers- A case study on Hanwella Bridge, Sri Lanka
(2023-09)
Lowering of the level of river bed due to water
erosion is denoted by the term Scouring. Scouring can
transpire around abutments and piers of a bridge. Pier
scouring possesses a high threat to the stability of the ...
Quantifying the impact of uncertain material parameters on pavement response using an Inverse modeling technique
(2023-09)
Accurate modeling of pavement response
plays a critical role in the effective design, analysis, and
maintenance of road infrastructure. However, the presence
of uncertainty in material parameters can significantly
compromise ...
Automatic clothesline retrieval system for domestic purposes
(2023-09)
This study addresses a common issue faced by
households, focusing on the troublesome task of drying
clothes. Unpredictable weather conditions often result in
clothes getting soaked and drenched in rainwater, causing
unpleasant ...
Design and fabrication of a coconut sorting machine
(2023-09)
Sri Lanka is among the leading countries in
coconut production and holds a significant share in the
world coconut product market. However, the process of
sorting coconuts is not precise in the Sri Lankan
marketplace. ...
Numerical analysis of a 3-D wing with an active flow control method
(2023-09)
This research performs a numerical proof for
enhancement of aerodynamic characteristic of a finite
wing (Wing of Nanchang CJ-6 Aircraft) which is included
with a conceptual design of an Active Flow Control (AFC)
method. ...
An overview of techniques of acoustic analysis for the detection of obstructive sleep apnea
(2023-09)
The primary focus of this review article is to
investigate acoustic analysis techniques for detecting
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA causes the upper
airway to collapse partially or entirely during sleep, which
reduces ...
Aerodynamic performance of smooth selectively superhydrophobic flat plates: A numerical approach
(2023-09)
The interference to fluid flow over a solid surface
is significantly high to such an extent that the fluid in
contact with the surface possesses a null velocity. This
phenomenon is called the no-slip condition. On ...
Implementation of arduino based IOT home automation systems in Sri Lanka
(2023-09)
The deployment of microcontroller-based IoT
home automation systems in Sri Lanka are examined in this
review paper, with an emphasis on the subtopics of home
automation, irrigation automation, waste management and ...
