the rise in average earth temperature. Because of the greater ambient temperature, the total performance of the air
conditioning system with an air-cooled condenser reduces dramatically. These limits pushed the researcher to look
for other ways to improve the performance of air conditioners, such as increasing the heat transfer rate in the
condenser using evaporative cooling pads. The influence of combining the condenser of a 1.5-tonne window air
conditioner with evaporative cooling pads of varied thicknesses on air conditioner performance has been investigated
in this study. The present work determines the optimal cooling pad thickness for the maximum Coefficient of
Performance (COP) of air conditioner based on the experimental investigation. Experimental results have shown that
a honeycomb cellulose cooling pad with a thickness of 2 inches would lower power usage of air conditioner by 15%
and increase the COP by 45 %.

Bad effects of plastic waste are felt throughout the world. At the same time, the thermal power plants in India continue to generate a huge amount of fly ash, disposal of which poses significant challenges for the power plants So, in order to solve this issue, an attempt is done to reduce the disposal problem of plastic waste and fly ash by using plastic extruder machine to melt the plastic and then mixing it with other ingredients of the fly ash brick. In this paper, efforts have been made to study the behavior of fly ash bricks by taking different proportions of fly ash, cement, quarry dust and plastic. This study also aims at reducing the soil getting wasted during manufacturing of burnt bricks, by producing a brick which is environmentally ...
