M Tech: Env Engg: ECB: Assignment#2

For the phosphoric acid system, calculate and prepare the graph showing the fraction of each species (H3PO4, H2PO4-, HPO4 2- and PO4 3-), given the values of equilibrium constants as:

Ka1 = 7.5 x 10^(-3)
Ka2 = 6.2 x 10^(-8)
Ka3 =  4.8 x 10^(-13)

The relevant reactions are:

H3PO4 -> H+  +  H2PO4-
H2PO4-  -> H+  +  HPO4 2-
HPO4 2-  -> H+  +  PO4 3-

The deadline for the submission is Sep 8, 2017.

M Tech CM: Assignment# 1

Individual assignment
(due date: Aug 26, 2017)

1) What is the necessity of Green Buildings in a developing economy like India? Discuss in light of the economic constraints and the tangible (and intangible) benefits of Green Buildings. (Max limit: 1 page- 2 sides of an A4 paper)

2) Apart from free FAR and faster clearance, what other steps can be taken by the government to promote green building certification in India? (Max limit: 1 side of an A4 paper)

M Tech: CM: Project

As was decided during the class today, the project groups and associated building are:

1) Mandela Hostel: Muzamil/ Pawan
2) Dental Building: S. Kumar/ Kaushik
3) Student Rec center: Ashish/ Shahnawaz
4)  PGDM building (Block-VII): Yawer/ Mushtaq

Project description:

In the project, the group will act as consultants for Green Building Certification. The group will study the baseline scenario for their chosen building, for a particular Green Building Certification (LEED/IGBC/GRIHA). Then, the group will determine alternate scenario for achieving different levels of the particular rating system (silver/gold/platinum for LEED and IGBC or 1 star to 5 star for GRIHA) and present some capital & operational cost scenario as well.

Deadline #1: Presentation of baseline scenario for the assigned building.: Sep 9, 2017
