A total amount of 116,349.2 kg dynamite was detonated in 60, 398 source point in an area of 771.26 square kilometers of Sagbama area. The energy source was the high explosive dynamite (trinitrotoluene) and 6m Electric Detonators loaded in 5 hole pattern source array. Eleven boreholes was used to study the impact of the dynamite shots in Sagbama. The American Water Works Association method was used in the analysis of pH. A control sample was taken from the borehole stations by sampling a day before detonation of dynamite. Subsequently, sampling was carried out a day after dynamite detonation and then, on a forth-nightly basis. The pH range was 7.47 – 7.70. These Variations of the pH of the water sample test values in comparison with the values of the control samples were not significant enough to be said that there was any groundwater contamination. The shattering property (brisance) of the dynamite resulted in the crushing of some amount of the sediment particles. Computation of the grain size distribution curve parameters yielded a permeability value of 3.24 cm/sec. The representative lithology of Sagbama area as revealed by the borehole logging showed that they are mainly non-plastics also categorized as cohensionless sands. The presence of silty sands at 4 to 5m depths could be an obstruction to infiltration of contaminants from dynamite detonation. However, the pH of the groundwater did not exceed the tolerance or compliance limit specified by the Federal Ministry of Environment, Housing and Urban Development. 2017-06-01T00:00:00+00:00 https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/ijt/article/view/161502 Performance Analysis of an Energy Flow Solar Assisted Desiccant Cooling Fitted with Honeycomb Adsorption 2017-11-06T07:51:07+00:00 K. N. Wagh P. W. Bedarkar A new and potentially clean technology that can be used to condition the internal environment of buildings without the use of harmful refrigerants. Unlike conventional air conditioning systems, which rely on electrical energy to drive the cooling cycle, desiccant cooling is an open heat driven cycle, which uses a desiccant wheel and thermal wheel in tandem to achieve both cooling and dehumidification. Because it is a heat driven cycle, there is the potential to use environmentally cleaner sources of energy such as gas, hot water, waste heat or any heat source, including solar thermal energy, able to elevate the air temperature to a level adequate for reactivation. Desiccant materials, which absorb moisture, can be dried, or regenerated, by adding heat supplied by natural gas, waste heat, or the sun. In most systems, a wheel that contains a desiccant turns slowly to pick up humidity from incoming air and discharge that humidity to the outdoors. Desiccant cooling can also be used in tandem with an conventional air conditioning system in which the desiccant removes humidity and the AC system provides cooling, and in energy recovery ventilators (ERV) to dehumidify incoming fresh air in the summer. 2017-06-01T00:00:00+00:00 https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/ijt/article/view/161504 Quadrature Null Effect in Amplitude Modulation 2017-11-06T07:51:14+00:00 Archi Jain archi.jain14@gmail.com Divanshu Chhabra divanshuchhabra@gmail.com Quadrature null effect (QNE) is a phenomenon in amplitude modulation (AM) demodulator circuit arise if carrier signal generated from local oscillator is not synchronized in phase with input signal.
