Abstract- This paper addresses the approach to minimize the losses of life and property during extreme fire hazards in the high rise buildings. The basic principle behind this is to restrict the fire in a particular zone such that it will not spread in vertical as well as horizontal direction in between the floors. The aim of this study is to restrict the fire spread which will lead to the increase in efficiency of emergency response team by providing them a confined target to work on. Fire in a building can be divided into two main zones i.e. Red zone and Black zone. Red zone is the point of origin of the fire where temperature is very high and smoke is generated at increased rates so this zone needs speedy emergency evacuation plans. Black zone is the area where temperature of the smoke is very less as compared to Red zone so it can be considered as the secondary target during the rescue operations. For achieving safety; performance based design is required. In this paper the use of Hot Ice Crystal sheet is discussed for fire control. The argument is also made regarding the comparative performance of the above mentioned technique with the rest.
Keywords- Black zone, Disaster management, Emergency provisions, Fire protection, hot Ice Crystal Sheet, Performance based design, Red zone, Smoke generation.

Abstract- The process of solidification is complex in nature and the simulation of such process is required in industry before it is actually undertaken. It is a non-linear transient phenomenon, posing a challenge in terms of modelling and analysis. Finite element method is used to simulate the heat transfer process accompanying the solidification process. During the solidification of a casting in a mold, the heat-transfer between the casting and the mold plays a vital role. This work attempts to study heat flow within the casting, as well as from the casting to the mold, and finally obtains the temperature history of all points inside the casting. The most important instant of time is when the hottest region inside the casting is solidifying. ANSYS software has been used to obtain the temperature distribution in the casting process by performing Transient Thermal Analysis.

Abstract- One of the important components of hydrologic cycle is runoff and influenced by various factors including precipitation and watershed characteristics. Numbers of mathematical models are available to quantify runoff. National Resources Conservation Service (NRSC) has developed a Geographic Information System (GIS) based method known as Soil Conservation Services-Curve Number method (SCS-CN) for computing the runoff depth based on the rainfall depth. This method has universal acceptance as it is simple, predictable and stable method for computing runoff depth. This method is based on one parameter i.e. curve number, which is basically a coefficient that reduces the rainfall to runoff. In the present study SCS-CN method has been applied to estimate the runoff depth in Kharun River basin, a sub-basin of Sheonath river in Chhattisgarh state. Various layers has been prepared namely base map, soil map, land use map and other map of the study area using GIS and remote sensing data. Based on the rainfall data of 21 raingauge stations in and around the study area, daily runoff depth has been estimated.
