    Fabrication and implementation of dual axis solar tracker in UMT
    (UMT Lahore, 2018-06) Muhammad Abdullah Sheikh; Muhammad Hussnain; Hafiz Waleed Akram
    Sun based energy is quick turning into an essential methods for sustainable power source asset. With sun tracking, it turns into possible to generate greater energy since the solar panel can maintain a perpendicular profile to the rays of the sun. This project discusses the design and construction of a prototype used for solar tracking that has a dual axis of freedom. The highlighted innovation of this project is that it works on dual axis of rotation but all the previous work done in Pakistan was on fixed axis. The initial cost of putting in place the tracking gadget is considerably excessive, there are less expensive choices that have been proposed after some time. The use of a highly portable, efficient solar tracker can be very useful to applications of the military, industrial, or residential variety. The tracker effectively tracks the sun and changes its position likewise to amplify the power yield. The design of a tracking system consists of sensors, microcontroller operated control circuits to drive Direct Current (DC) motors and gear- bearing arrangements with supports and mountings. Two equipped DC motors are utilized to move the sunlight based board or also named as solar panel so sun's bar can stay lined up with the solar panel.

    Water quality analysis using hec-ras: a case study of ravi reach pakistan
    (UMT.Lahore, 2023) Muhammad Hussnain; Ihtesham-Ul-Haq; Ibtisham Farooq; Muhammad Tauqeer; Muhammad Shaarif Javed
    The quality of the water resources is facing threats because of continuous urbanization. This increase in human activities around the river areas changed the water quality, affecting the aquatic ecosystem. Eutrophication occurs when high levels of nutrients cause algal bloom. The water quality modeling can be a useful tool for assessing water bodies. The quality of the Ravi River has deteriorated during the past decades due to inappropriate sewage systems, so the aim of this research was to make a one-dimensional model to model the river water quality in terms of CBOD and DO concentrations. The results of the model were compared to the available literature on this river, as it was the only available data. The results showed the poor quality of the waters of the Ravi River in terms of high CBOD concentrations (200 mg/l), according to the International Water Quality Guidelines for Ecosystems (IWQGES) estimates, World Health Organization (WHO), and EPA Pakistan. These results were consistent with the previous studies, and thus HEC-RAS can be considered as an effective tool for modeling river water quality.
