abstract = {Leadership styles are inextricably intertwined with using solar, wind, or hybrid power to complement hydropower or clean nuclear energy. Changing elements using alternative forms of energy do result in disrupting the existing technologies. This study explains that without deploying various leadership styles to cognitively and effectively implement solar, wind, or hybrid alternative energy as disruptive technologies, no superior alchemy could lead the implementations from proposal to fruition. Even where all elements within various leadership styles are deployed, political consideration becomes a vital axis of the transitions juxtaposed within the various leadership styles. Oil prices have to be above US$100 per barrel for alternative sources of energy to be profitable. From developing to developed nations, solar, wind, or hybrid as alternative energies should complement hydropower due to consistent epileptic brownouts. Findings in this research revealed strategic leadership planning of over one year is reduced to three-to-six months due to situational technological happenstances. Various leadership styles' approaches to alternative sources of energy were compared and contrasted. This research concludes that due to the brutal reality within the global village, a situational leadership style is trumping other form of leadership styles in finding alternative source of energy.},

abstract = {The present experimental investigation is concerned with the comparative evaluation of karanja and jatropha methyl esters (biodiesel) as an alternative fuel in a diesel engine based on the thermal performance and emission characteristics. The experiments are conducted on a single-cylinder, four-stroke, direct-injection, variable compression ratio (CR), and compression ignition engine and the experimental parameters considered include the engine torque, injection pressure, and CR. Comparative measures of brake thermal efficiency (BTHE), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), exhaust gas temperature, smoke opacity, and HC, CO, and NOX emissions are presented and discussed. It is observed that, at full torque, BTHE is lower by 4.4% and 4.5% and BSFC is higher by about 6% and 15% for karanja and jatropha biodiesel, respectively, compared to that of diesel. At a torque of 20 Nm, CO emission levels for karanja are higher by 9% compared to jatropha but lesser by about 11% in comparison with that of diesel. Results show that thermal performance of the engine fuelled with both the biodiesels is generally comparable to that when the engine is fuelled with pure diesel. At higher compression ratios, the engine fuelled with both the biodiesels gives lesser emissions and better performance compared to that of diesel.},

abstract = {The biochar is an important carbon-rich product that is generated from biomass sources through pyrolysis. Biochar (charcoal) can be both used directly as a potential source of solid biofuels and as soil amendments for barren lands. The aim of this study was investigate influence of pyrolysis temperature on the physicochemical properties and structure of biochar. The biochars were produced by pyrolysis of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) using a fixed-bed reactor at different pyrolysis temperatures (400-700 degrees C). The produced biochars were characterized by proximate and elemental analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, particle size distributions, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results showed that both chemical and surface properties of the biochars were significantly affected by the pyrolysis temperature.Aromatic hydrocarbons, hydroxyl and carbonyl compounds were the majority components of the biochar. The biochar obtained at 700 degrees C had a high fixed carbon content (66.16%) as well as a high heating value, and therefore it could be used as solid fuel, precursor in the activated carbons manufacture (specific surface area until 25.38m(2) g(-1)), or to obtain category-A briquettes.},
