Abstract: Nano crystalline Ni-Co-B alloy thin films were deposited on the copper substrate at different temperature by electrode position method.
Electro deposited Ni-Co-B thin films were subjected to the structural, mechanical and magnetic characterization analysis. The chemical composition of
the coated films was analysed by EDAX. The surface and structural morphology of the coated film were analysed by using SEM and XRD. The
mechanical properties of Ni-Co-B films have been studied by VHT. The magnetic properties of thin films have been analysed by VSM. The electroplated
NiCoB thin films were strongly adherent to the copper substrate The SEM pictures of Ni-Co-B thin films shows that, the deposits of thin films are crack
free, uniform and bright surface with fine grain size. All the electro deposited Ni-Co-B films exhibit FCC crystalline structure with crystalline size in the
order of Nano scale. The VSM result of Ni-Co-B thin films shows that the Ni-Co-B thin films coated at high bath temperature have highest saturation
magnetisation value with lower coactivity. Due to highest magnetisation value with low coactivity, Ni-Co-B thin films can be used for the
manufacturing of MEMS and NEMS devices.

Abstract: In daily life lot of hotels as well as hostels are wasting a lot of food items, which can be utilized for better purpose. Biogas production
requires anaerobic digestion. Project was to create an Organic Processing Facility to generate biogas which will be additional cost effective, eco-friendly,
cut down on landfill squander, and generate a high-quality renewable fuel, and decrease carbon dioxide & methane emissions. Overall by creating a
biogas reactor on site in the backyard of our hostels will be beneficial. The anaerobic absorption of food waste produces biogas, a precious energy
resource anaerobic digestion is a microbial progression for production of biogas, which consist of primarily methane (CH4) & carbon dioxide (CO2).
Biogas can be used as energy source and also for several purposes. But, any possible applications require data & information about the composition and
amount of constituents in the biogas produced. The continuously-fed digester requires addition of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to retain the alkalinity
and pH to 7. For this reactor we have prepared our inoculums than we installed batch reactors, to which inoculum of previous cow dung slurry along
with the food waste was added to develop our own inoculums.
