A Comparative Environmental Analysis of Traditional and Concrete Construction Methods in Urban India: Statistical Insights into Carbon Footprints, Resource Consumption, and Waste Generation
Abstract: Significant effects on the environment and climate change have resulted from India’s shift from traditional building techniques to the growth of concrete jungles. Traditional structures used passive cooling, cross-ventilation, and the thoughtful use of courtyards and open spaces. They were made from natural materials that were sourced locally, such as clay, wood, stone, and thatch. Because they were made to use as little energy as possible, encourage natural temperature regulation, …

Review of Heuristic Rules and Complex Column Arrangements for the Sequencing of Multicomponent Distillation Column
Abstract: An ordinary distillation column separates a binary feed into two products, but multi-component mixtures need more complex separation sequences. For a ternary mixture of component ABC, the separation can follow a direct sequence (A/BC, B/C) or an indirect sequence (AB/C, A/B), in which the direct sequence is preferred due to the lower operating cost. The heuristic rules based sequencing can be adapted for multi-component complex feed. As the number of …
