Abstract: Many researchers are trying to obtain a pervious concrete with better physical and mechanical properties to be used in pavement. To achieve the optimized pervious concrete, different researchers have been using different materials, especially those waste materials which are existing worldwide, specifically in the compactly populated area s. Discarded tires are among them and rubber tire particles are being currently used to be considered as recycled waste materials. In this paper a combination of polymer, silica fume and rubber aggregate from rubber tire particles were used to obtain an op timized pervious concrete. The produced concrete’s properties were studied. The results indicate that this pervious concrete with the optimum replacing ratio of silica fume, polymer and rubber aggregate to mineral aggregate has higher flexural and compress ive strength. The relative flexural and compressive strength of this pervious concrete has been increased 31% and 18% compared to the mineral aggr

Abstract: Fuel is one of the research areas of major focus in recent days. This review paper is based on the principle that it may be possible to grow our way out of an energy crisis with renewable, recyclable plant - based fuels. In turbine aircraft , combust ion process acts on fan blades that either turn s a propeller or cr eate thrust by accelerating gas. The fuel used is jet fuel (jet - A, jet - 1A, jet - B). Biofuels have to replicate the characteristics of jet fuels in order to place a claim as future aviation fu el. The biggest challenge is to find out a renewable fuel which fits the bill. One such biofuel in the race is the 3 rd generation ‘algae’. There are few technical and legal issues in using algae for production of biofuel and they are: Technical issues: Die sel fuel stability (extremely high flash point and low volatility), Fuel freezing point temperature, Lack of lubricity, Low energy density. Legal issues: Renewable fuel standard, Clean air act, Toxic substance control act, Cle
