Abstract: While it is financially beneficial to switch to electric vehicle the adaption is not growing fast due to the infrastructure challenges and other challenges faced with battery charging and time. The cost & life of the battery is a major concern. DIY kits and converting existing vehicle also has many challenges that are discussed in this paper.

Keywords: Challenges in Two-Wheeler and Three-Wheeler Electric Vehicle Adaption in India.

Abstract: Groundwater is an important source of water in desert wadies, where due to aridity conditions and scarcity of surface water, Residents and Bedouins depend on it in their daily lives. Wadi Hodein is one of the largest wadies in the Egyptian Eastern Desert that relying on groundwater abstraction from Nubian Sandstone Aquifer (NSA). There are several shallow wells penetrate the NSA, but the most important deep wells are Abu Saafa and El Dief wells. Bedouins strongly depend on these wells for drinking purpose. The aim of this research is to assess the potentiality of the groundwater aquifer under the present stresses, in order to preserve the sustainability of this essential water resources to ensure the stability of the inhabitants in this important border region in the future. Visual Modflow 3.0. was run to simulate the groundwater conditions in the aquifer. The model was run for 50 years to assess the sustainability of pumping from these wells based on a sensitivity analysis between specific yield and drawdown under the current discharging rates. The results revealed that the existing wells are in the safe side under the current discharge rates and it is highly recommended to keep the discharge from these wells in the range between  (5- 20 m3/hr) to avoid water depletions in shallow wells excavated by residents other wise these shallow wells should be deepened.

Abstract: The current energy transition is targeted at achieving net zero emissions by the mid of this century, and the major pathway is to transit from fossil fuel to renewable energy sources. This has posed an existential threat to the fossil fuel industry, especially the oil and gas industry, which has a direct impact on the petroleum engineering disciple in tertiary institutions.  The paper therefore reviewed the implication of this transition, and the roles of the petroleum industry, and the petroleum engineering disciple to stay relevant and become adaptable to the current transition.  The paper noted that oil and gas will be needed in the energy mix, though in a declining trend as renewable technologies mature. Regardless, the petrochemical industry, which is part of the oil and gas value chain, will survive the current energy transition beyond the 21st century. Also, there are clear adaptable skills, and technologies such as geothermal wells, carbon capture and storage that can enhance the petroleum industry during the transition period. The industry and the petroleum engineering curricular must also adopt innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, internet of things, and drones to augment the operations under a constantly evolving digital ecosystem. Petroleum Engineers must also expand their curricular to include SDGs, and ESGs, and apply their reservoir and petroleum economics skills into investment banking modules to be able to support the sourcing of funds for the oil and gas industry.

Keywords: Energy Transition, Fossil Fuel, Artificial Intelligence, Net Zero Emissions, Renewable Energy Sources, SDGs, ESGs, Internet of Things.

Abstract: In this article, we study the fractional Laplace transforms of fractional analytic functions based on Jumarie type of modified Riemann-Liouville (R-L) fractional derivative. A new multiplication of fractional analytic functions plays an important role in this paper. And the results we obtained are generalizations of Laplace transforms of classical analytic functions.

Keywords: fractional Laplace transforms, fractional analytic functions, Jumarie type of modified R-L fractional derivative, new multiplication.

Abstract: Sewage sludge is an undesirable organic matter, which is most frequently generated from the treatment process in wastewater treatment plants and causes environmental pollution if not well treated or used for energy generation. Sludge mostly contains biodegradable materials, which can produce methane as a generated biogas. Therefore, biogas production from sludge is a promising method of wastes treatment because it provides a good energy recovery as well as resolves environmental problems. In this study, secondary sludge and thickened sludge of a traditional activated sludge wastewater treatment plant were provided to determine the total solids content. The sludge types were digested for 30 days where generator exhaust was used for stirring for 15 minutes daily. Three experimental trials were conducted with a steel fixed dome, square-shaped anaerobic digester. Produced biogas was analyzed for the quantitative determination of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). The produced CH₄ was recorded to be zero, 60.7 % and 41.8 % when using secondary sludge, thickened sludge, and thickened sludge without stirring, respectively. Cumulative CH₄ production was studied for seven, 15 and 30 days. For thickened sludge, the results showed that approximately 80 % of produced CH₄ was between 15 and 21 days. A comparison between stirred digested thickened sludge and the digested thickened sludge without stirring was conducted and showed a good effect of the exhaust gas stirring. Increasing rate due to exhaust gas stirring was calculated and it was 31.14 %, 29.82 % and 20.39 % for 30, 15, 7 days, respectively.

Keywords: Anaerobic digestion, Batch digester, Methane production, Sludge, biomass, biogas.
