The possibility of an autostoichiometric vapor deposition is explored. Heterometal-organic complexes such as double alkoxides are potential candidate precursors for such deposition. Two reaction schemes, the hydrolysis-assisted pyrolysis and the hydrolysis-polycondensation of double alkoxides, are identified to be autostoichiometric reactions. A simple low-pressure apparatus is suggested for autostoichiometric vapor deposition. Mass-flow analysis allows for the identification of a nonstoichiometry factor K which can be used as a quantitative measure of the precursor's autostoichiometric capability.

Rainwater harvesting from roof is considered as valuable water resources. Material Flow Analysis (MFA) of water in Mahasarakham University (Khamriang Campus) shows that rainwater harvesting from roof can reduce water supply production by 7% and save more than 200,000 Bt/year for water treatment cost. The sensitivity analysis suggests that by 5% water supply conservation and 20% additional rainwater harvesting, MSU could have enough water resources. The rainwater is suitable to be substituted water for gardening due to the convenience to assemble an above ground storage tank or a pond to store harvested rainwater from roof. The current practice of rainwater is collected and discharged into drainage system and treated in wastewater treatment plant. Utilisation of rainwater harvested could reduce wastewater amount that must be treated by 9%. Rainwater harvesting and reuse should be promoted in campus in order to encourage sustainable living and water conservation policy.

Gas Turbine development activities have been associated with development of different pumps and its allied subsystems used for fuel supply and lubrication oil supply at different engine operating condition. 2D transient flow analysis of a Dual pump has been carried out in an environment with an adverse pressure gradient to map important parameters like pressure, velocity, mass flow and effect of slip. Three achievable close tolerances were selected and carried out the analysis. Finally identified tolerance to be maintained during manufacturing based on the analysis. A moving dynamic mesh concept was adopted because of its capability to facilitate solving transient flow problem and motion of the domain boundaries. A simulated motion control was decided based on the time step, angular velocities of gears rotation motion and coded through a User defined function (UDF) to give angular momentum. Each analysis was carried out for 180 degree of rotation. The main parameter mass flow rate was monitored for different speed and outlet pressures. A validation experimental test was carried out at one rpm thus build up a confidence in implant design synthesis to meet challenges in future.

Comprehensive steady and non-steady flow tests on a small radial turbine turbo-charger are given. Steady flow tests included both full admission and partial admission over the whole speed and pressure range from zero flow to maximum flow. Non-steady flow tests were carried out over a pulse frequency range from 30 to 70 pulses/s and turbine speeds from 30 000 to 60 000 rev/min with the turbine coupled to the exhaust system of a six-cylinder pulse generator under partial admission conditions. Extensive transient pressure and temperature measurements were taken upstream and downstream (pressure only) of the turbine. The total mass flow and power were also measured. A quasi-steady flow analysis was carried out using the steady flow test data. The tests results showed that for a six-cylinder exhaust pipe configuration, with two exhaust pipes entering separate nozzle segments in the radial turbine, the quasi-steady flow analysis using partial admission data grossly underestimated the mass flow and power output of the turbine. Using full admission data the ratio of measurement mass flow and horsepower to the calculated mass flow and horsepower was nearly always greater than unity. Furthermore, the average turbine efficiency was greater under non-steady flow than under steady flow. The magnitude of the recorded effects was dependent on the pulse frequency and turbine speed.
