The use of renewable energy is crucial to the global growth of sustainability. Milk business amongst many other food industry divisions requires a significant amount of energy, making the meal processing business one of the most energy-intensive industries. As of right now, more than 30 percent of the dairy produced in India is processed. In distant parts of India, milk spoiling is more common due to the delay among milking and storing; as a result, facilities for quick pasteurization and storage are needed. Heated is necessary for pasteurization. Since for a long time, the Indian milk industry has relied on nonrenewable energy sources, that are not only becoming much more costly but are also to blame for significant environmental issues including greenhouse gases and health issues. Consequently, scientific communities, environmental and social organizations, and the governments have all pushed the use of green energy. Solar energy has been shown to be the most viable among various sustainable and renewable energies given the geographical position of India. Solar energy can be used to pasteurize milk because of the energy intensity and range of temperature requirements. Adsorbent refrigerator is recommended here since it is powered by waste/solar heat and can store (200 liters of milk) at low temperatures until it is distributed after the pasteurization process (easily available from farm waste). The solar collector of evacuated tube is used for minimizing heat loss and pasteurizing milk. The outcome demonstrates that milk can be simply pasteurized at 73°C for 25minutes at a flow rate of 5 liter per minutes. A solar energy adsorbent refrigeration system has been constructed and described for keeping 200 liters of milk at 10-15°C for 9–11 hours. Investigation findings indicate that the specific cooling power of the system is sufficient to store 200 liters of milk at 5.8 kW/kg and 5.5 kW/kg for 500 liter per hours hot water supplied at 92°C, 32°C condenser temperatures, and 5°C evaporator temperatures. The heat loss of evacuated tube collector is compared to solar concentrator. The study results provide evacuated tube collector is better for pasteurizing milk since to its highly efficient, longevity, and compactness.

“…It is observed that when fibers and particles were added, the composite's life enhanced as well. This is because particles have a greater capacity for energy absorption 4,25 . Similarly, fibers absorbed the greatest amount of energy, allowing composites to withstand the largest cyclic stress and extend their life.…”

Novel spinifex littores fiber‐reinforced echinoidea spike particle dispersed epoxy resin hybrid composite has been prepared and characterized. The main objective of this research work was to prepare a new system of epoxy hybrid composite comprises of surface‐treated novel spinifex littores fiber (SLF) and echinoidea spike powder (ESP) for sustainable material development. The fiber was treated with alkali and silane for effective adhesion with matrix. The composites were prepared using hand layup method and post cured at 120°C. The mechanical properties were improved with increasing particle content. The wear result shows a lowest coefficient of friction and sp. wear rate of 0.43 and 0.004 mm3/Nm for SP5 composite designation. Fracture toughness of 32.1 ± 0.69 MPa √m and energy release rate of 1.257 ± 0.071 mJ/m2 was observed for composite designation SP4. A highest fatigue life count of 26,832 was observed for composite contains 1 vol% of silane‐treated ESP and 8 h alkali cum silane‐treated SPF. The fractographs reveals toughness improved matrix phase via shear cup formation. These marine based eco‐friendly reinforcement based epoxy composites could be used in various applications in the cadre of automobile, mini‐aircrafts, structural, sports, and domestic.

“…Even if the process characteristics are also very significant for producing the AMCs and therefore stir casting process is utilized for composing the metal matrix composites [4]. Moreover, all the nano-based ceramic particles are not easily wetted on the aluminum alloy and need some extra methods to develop the wetting process during the process [5].…”

Nowadays, the aluminum metal matrix composites (AMCs) play an empirical role to improve the mechanical performance by various applications. Therefore, the secondary processes need to enhance the surface morphology of intermetallic phases with the appropriate reinforcing particles. In this research, Al7075- and ceramic-based nanosilicon carbide (SiC) were utilized to compose the metal matrix composites. These composites were subjected to friction welding for intermetallic surface modification with the various forging pressure and rotating speed. Initially, the AMCs were prepared with three (8–12) kinds of SiC weight proportions by the design of Taguchi L9 orthogonal array. As per the weight proportions, nine samples were prepared and then conducted the friction welding with 10–20 MPa of forge pressure and 1,650–2,050 rpm of rotational speed of spindle. Then, the entire nine specimens were allowed to conduct the tensile and microhardness test. During the mechanical test, the overall welded zone had higher mechanical properties than the base metal. Then, the artificial neural network was utilized to predict the output responses as per the designed concept of trial and error method. The overall predicted responses are nearly closed to the experimental values.
