Development Of Ionic Catalysts For The Water-gas Shift Reaction And Exhaust Gas Purification
(2013-04-04)
Treatment of fuel cell feed H2 for the removal of CO is important owing to the poisoning of the catalysts, thereby affecting the performance of the fuel cell. Strong and preferential adsorption of CO over the catalyst takes ...
Turbulence in Soft Walled Micro Channels
(2017-12-07)
In comparison to the flow in a rigid channel, there is a multi-fold reduction in the transition Reynolds number for the flow in a micro channel when one of the walls is made sufficiently soft, due to a dynamical instability ...
Structure And Dynamics Of Interfacial And Confined Water
(2011-03-28)
Understanding the structure and dynamics of molecularly thin films or the state of water confined to nanoscale dimensions is an active field of research and has wide applications in areas ranging from biology to geology. ...
Engineering the N-Glycosylation Pathway in Pichia Pastoris for the Expression of Glycoprotein Hormones
(2018-01-15)
Proteins, participating in a myriad of biological function, are at the core of all cellular activities occurring within living organisms. Therapeutic proteins, hence constitute a major part of the pharmaceutical industry. ...
Testing the Hypothesis of Quorum Sensing in Vibrio fischeri : Luminescence, Motility, and Biofilm
(2018-03-15)
The individual behaviour of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria often gives rise to complexity that is commonly associated with multicellular behaviour. The transition from unicellular to multicellular behaviour occurs ...
Inactivation of Microorganisms by Photocatalysis
(2018-02-20)
Photocatalysis is an advanced oxidation process, which has shown to possess an enhanced capability to remove a wide range of contaminants. It involves the use of a semiconductor photocatalyst and a photon source. Photocatalysis ...
Aqueous Phase Oxidation Of Sulfur Dioxide In Stirred Slurry Reactors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-18)
Air pollution by sulfur dioxide is of great concern due to its harmful effects on environment, human beings, fauna and flora. Fossil-fuel-fired power plants are one of the major sources of SO2 emissions. Typically the ...
Modeling Human Immunodeficiency Virus Transmission and Infection
(2018-05-21)
HIV-1 is a global pandemic with about 39 million people infected. In India, 2.9 million people are infected and about 2 lakh new infections have been reported last year. To date, there is no cure for HIV/AIDS. Current ...
Modeling and Experimental Investigations into Soluble Lead Redox Flow Battery : New Mechanisms
(2018-05-14)
Continued emission of green house gases has energized research activity worldwide to develop efficient ways to harness renewal energy. The availability of large scale energy storage technologies is essential to make renewal ...
Direct Numerical Simulations and Fluctuating Force Simulations of Turbulent Particle-gas Suspensions
(2018-05-18)
Turbulent gas-particle suspensions are of great practical importance in many naturally phenomena, such as dust storms and snow avalanches, as well as in industrial applications such as fluidised, circulating bed reactors ...
