This Paper investigated effects of annealing and age hardening on the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and electrical conductivity of aluminium-nickel cast using sand mould. Pure aluminium melt was alloyed with nickel, which was added in 2% to 10% step 2. Annealing and age hardenings were carried out and obtained results showed that Al-2%Ni alloy has the highest UTS of 604.44MPa. On the other hand, Al-6%Ni Annealed alloy has the highest electrical conductivity, with a value of 6.15 × 107 S/m. The Al-4%Ni alloy combined both high strength and conductivity, having UTS of 603.28MPa and electrical conductivity of 5.69 × 107 …

-In this paper a simple Excel based mathematical model has been developed in order to design the EATHE system for the ground floor of library of the Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur for meeting a given cooling/heating load. This model helps in determining characteristic dimensions, air flow rate, number of pipes, selection of blower and economic investments in an EATHE system. A thermal comfort survey was also conducted to find the thermal comfort temperature inside the library of MNIT, which is approx 28.6 0C, quiet near to the temperature obtained through this EATHE system.
