L.; Phalak, K. T.; Jadhao, P. D. Abstract: In India both surface and ground water, are scare and its proper utilization is must. All flow irrigation system gives about 40 to 45% efficiency. Search for, a most efficient irrigation method for private users was studied and solution to this is, pressurized irrigation methods. Perfo Spray System has effective use of Water, Irrigation of steep and rolling topography without producing run-off and erosion, Proper irrigation of shallow soils, Frequent watering whenever needed for germination crop is possible Labor saving, Leaching of salts from saline soils, Keeps crop free from insects and diseases. This system operates with low pressures (5 to 15m), This system has high application rate hence irrigation time is less and hence more are can be irrigates by moving lateral in short time with careful handling Useful for vegetable fields, nursery and orchards.

K.; Nagarale, P. P. Abstract: Most of the cities of developing countries are facing serious noise pollution problem, due to the concentration of motor vehicles and human population within the limited urban areas. The study presents the status of noise pollution at selected signalized intersections of Nashik city, Maharashtra, India. The study is conducted using sound level meter and simultaneously classified traffic volume data is collected manually. The study shows that, the noise levels at selected locations, exceeded permissible noise level prescribed by Central Pollution Control Board. The present study is useful for planning of road alignment, intersection, flyover, deciding signal timings, traffic management, land use planning and to control noise pollution.

L.; Phalak, K. T.; Jadhao, P. D. Abstract: The wide range of flow measuring devices are available for use in Open Channels. In absence of guide line and recommendations, it is difficult for the field staff to s elect a particular type of measuring device. It is particularly more true in the case of measuring small discharge (upto 40 lit/sec.) Therefore, a comparative study for evaluating different types of devices for measuring discharge upto 40 lit/sec. (lps) was undertaken as adaptive research. Partial flume, cutthroat flume, Board creasted Weir RBC (Portable) flume s tanding Wave flume and 90° - V Notch were selected for the study as these are commonly used in construction, use and maintenance, experiments were carried out in the Open Channel. Broad Creasted Weir (replogle) of 20 cm sill height tops the list followed by 90° V- n otch and portable standing wave Flume.

K.; Jadhao, P. D. Abstract: A refined theory is applied for the flexural analysis of functionally graded beams. The present study involves four unknown variables which are five in first order shear deformation theory or any other higher order theories. The in-plane displacement field uses sinusoidal function in terms of thickness co-ordinate to include the shear deformation effect. The present study satisfies the zero shear stress condition at top and bottom surfaces of plates without using shear deformation factor. Variationally consistent governing equations and boundary conditions associated with present study are obtained using the virtual work principle. A closed form solution is obtained using double trigonometric series suggested by Navier. The functionally graded beam is analyzed for uniformly distributed load and linearly varying load under simply supported condition. The results are obtained and presented graphically Thu, 15 Oct 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/2864 2015-10-15T00:00:00Z
