Silicon carbide (SiC) is produced industrially in a heat resistance furnace using quartz (silica) and raw petroleum coke (RPC) as the raw material. In this process, commonly known as the Acheson Process, a large current ...

In recent years, the growing concern about pollution from fossil fuels has resulted in an increased effort for utilization of low-grade heat sources such as industrial waste heat, solar energy and other renewable sources. ...

Large eddy simulations of a premixed, turbulent, methane-air round jet flame at an equivalence ratio of 0.8 and unburnt gas temperature of 800 K are performed using Explicit Filtering LES (EFLES) method. The nominal inflow ...

New Product Development (NPD) is the most important activity, which is recognized as the growth engine for product centric organizations to sustain, prosper, and accumulate stakes in the market. Development of new products ...

Coupling of spray with the coherent structures of a highly turbulent flow has been a long-standing problem especially in the context of liquid fuel delivery systems in gas turbine combustors. The atomizer in a gas turbine ...

Ever since the failure of the fan blades of the Rolls Royce gas turbine engine that powered the Lockheed Martin tristar aircraft in 1972, ambient temperature dwell fatigue (DF) in titanium alloys has received considerable ...

Monopropellants are widely used for propulsion and gas generation applications. The current state of art monopropellant systems are based on hydrazine propellants. While hydrazine has a strong heritage as a versatile ...

Epoxy is widely used as thermosetting materials in carbon fiber composites due to its combined superior thermal and mechanical properties which makes them a potential candidate for myriad applications. But epoxy suffers ...

We have studied spinodal decomposition which leads to a three-phase microstructure in ternary alloys using computer simulations based on the ternary Cahn-Hilliard equations. All the alloys we have studied are in the same ...

Reinforced concrete (RC) is being used for a wide range of structural applications. In order to design safe and economical RC structural elements it is necessary to analyse these elements accounting for the realistic ...
