This paper presents an experimental study on the dynamic interaction effect of closely spaced square foundations under machine vibration. Under a dynamic condition, a number of large-scale model tests were conducted in the field, which includes a wide range of study on the isolated as well as interacting footing response resting on the local soil available at Kanpur, India. The dynamic interaction of different combinations (size) of two-footing assemblies was investigated by inducing vertical harmonic load on one of the footings (active footing), while the other footing (passive footing) was loaded with static weight only. The active footing was excited with different magnitudes of dynamic loading and the response was recorded for both footings, placed at a different clear spacing (S). The results are compiled and shown as the variation of displacement amplitude with frequency. The transmission ratio that predicts the effect of dynamic excitation of the active footing on the passive one is determined for the interacting footings and plotted with respect to frequency ratio.

Biomass such as agriculture waste and urban waste are enormous potency as energy resources instead of enviromental problem. organic waste can be converted into energy in the form of liquid fuel, solid, and syngas by using of pyrolysis technique. Pyrolysis process can yield higher liquid form when the process can be drifted into fast and flash response. It can be solved by using microwave heating method. This research is started from developing an experimentation laboratory apparatus of microwave-assisted pyrolysis of biomass energy conversion system, and conducting preliminary experiments for gaining the proof that this method can be established for driving the process properly and safely. Modifying commercial oven into laboratory apparatus has been done, it works safely, and initial experiments have been carried out, process yields bio-oil and charcoal shortly, several parameters are achieved. Some further experiments are still needed for more detail parameters. Theresults may be used to design small-scale continuous model of productionsystem, which then can be developed into large-scale model that applicable for comercial use.

An experimental investigation was conducted to examine the effect of a periodic variation in the angle of attack on heat transfer at the leading edge of a gas turbine blade. A circular cylinder was used as a large-scale model of the leading edge region. The cylinder was placed in a wind tunnel and was oscillated rotationally about its axis. The incident flow Reynolds number and the Strouhal number of oscillation were chosen to model an actual turbine condition. Incident turbulence levels up to 4.9 percent were produced by grids placed upstream of the cylinder. The transfer rate was measured using a mass transfer technique and heat transfer rates inferred from the results. A direct comparison of the unsteady and steady results indicate that the effect is dependent on the Strouhal number, turbulence level, and the turbulence length scale, but that the largest observed effect was only a 10 percent augmentation at the nominal stagnation position.
