    An undistorted physical model of a low head hydropower plant of scale 1:100 was constructed to achieve the designated head through model studies by designing the tailrace and headrace channels. In order to minimize the ...
  • Sivakumar, S.; Mohan, S. (Allied Publishers Pvt. Limited, New Delhi, 2009)
    Because of "wheel effect" a heavy mass can be displaced with very minimal energy compared to the same mass not subjected any wheel arrangement. Also, all the objects are subjected to the downward "gravitational force". ...
  • Mala, S. C.; Singh, P.; Das, M.; Acharaya, S. (Allied Publishers Pvt. Limited, New Delhi, 2009)
    Thermal springs are simple natural phenomena. They are spectacular events on the crust expressing earth's internal energy. This geothermal energy is considered as the non-conventional source that yields heat and power. The ...
