GMRTs are large parabolic dish antennas established by National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research) in India. The GMRT system has initially been modelled and evaluation of the system performance (using a reference step signal) has been done by using Proportional (P) and Proportional-Derivative (PD) controllers.<#LINE#>Agrawal D.C. and Maini A.K.

<#LINE#>Study of NOx Emission in Diesel Engine Operating with Biodiesel under Different Engine Parameters<#LINE#>B.L.@Maharana,H.@Chandra <#LINE#>9-12<#LINE#>2.ISCA-RJEngS-2016-009.pdf<#LINE#>Bhilai Institute of Technology, Durg, India@Department of Mechanical Engineering Vishwavidyalaya Engineering College Lakhanpur Sarguja University Ambikapur Chhattisgarh, India<#LINE#>24/2/2016<#LINE#>8/10/2016<#LINE#>The need of bio origin fuel is continuously increasing with depletion of petroleum fuel and rising concern of environmental degradation. Biodiesel is one of the bio origin fuel obtained from vegetable oil or animal fat in a process of trans-esterification. Many research have proved that biodiesel is a promising fuel in terms of performance of diesel engine and exhaust emission of  CO2, CO, HC component..The only penalty with biodiesel is higher NOx emission with some exception. This research work focuses on the study of the engine working parameters i.e. engine fuel and speed of engine on NOx emissions with biodiesel as fuel in a diesel engine. The results shows that use of biodiesel and at high engine speed causes lower NOx emissions in comparison with conventional diesel fuel.<#LINE#>Ali Y. and Hanna M.A. (1994).@Alternative Diesel Fuels from Vegetable Oils.@Bio resource Technology,  (50), 153-163.@Yes$Demirbas A.

We used two species of wood and sand: the limba and the kambala on the one hand and on the other hand the crushed sand and the white one. Diffraction by X-Ray allowed to determine the mineralogical composition of the clay material and showed that its clayey fraction is mainly made of 95% of kaolinite and 5% of smectite and /or interstratified chlorite/smectite. Mechanical tests lead to the determination of the slabs resistance to compression. The achieved results showed that for the best resistances to compression were obtained for the combinations (clay stabilized at 4% of cement mixed with 4% of kambala sawdust and 5% of white sand and clay stabilized at 4% of cement mixed with 4% of limba sawdust and 5% of crushed sand).<#LINE#>A.
