Structure and Dynamics of Fluids Under Nanoscale Confinement
Fluid molecules confined between solid surfaces separated by a few nanometers are of considerable interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology as they undergo structural and dynamical transitions absent in their corresponding ...
On the spatio-temporal distribution of stable isotope ratios in the hydrological cycle over India and the Southern Ocean
The isotopic composition of water vapor and precipitation at continental and oceanic sites
depends on factors such as: the geographical location of the sampling site, meteorological
conditions at the moisture source ...
Syngas Fueled Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (Sofc) – Experiments and Analysis on Gas Characterization and Cell Performance
The present research addresses the complexities involved in the use of syngas as a fuel in a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). Solid oxide fuel cell is an efficient, clean direct energy conversion device. Being a fuel flexible ...
Nano-mechanical, optical and structural property correlations in binary, ternary, and quaternary tellurium-based chalcogenide glasses
Over a half century, from the advent of chalcogenide glasses, it was used for various applications like xerography, phase change memories (PCM), solar cells, infrared devices and so on. These applications made use of some ...
Processing, Structure and Properties of Friction Stir Process Derived In-situ Nano Composites and Foams
High specific-strength materials with high toughness can reduce the weight of automobile and aerospace components. Lightweight components for these applications are essential, as they can significantly improve fuel efficiency. ...
Matrix cracking in polymer matrix composites under static and fatigue loading
Matrix cracking is the first and most dominant mode of damage in polymer matrix composite (PMC) laminates resulting in significant stiffness degradation under static and fatigue loading. Matrix crack evolution and its ...
Synthesis, Microstructural Stability and High Temperature Deformation of Alumina-Carbon Nanotube Composites
Structural ceramics such as alumina are known to have excellent hardness and high
temperature mechanical properties. In view of this, they are used as refractory linings to mitigate
the effect of high temperature exposure. ...
Studies on Friction Stir Welding of Aluminium AA2024 Alloy to Pure Copper
Aluminium-copper joints are widely used in electrical applications due to their unique properties. However, joining of these metals by conventional welding techniques is restricted due to the formation of brittle (bulk ...
Evaporation Driven Oscillations and Particle Agglomeration in Pure and Complex Fluid Sessile Droplets
A sessile droplet forms a fundamental building block in analyzing particle distribution and deposition in both industrial applications and lab on a chip research such as inkjet printing, surface patterning, photonic crystals, ...
Two Problems on the Parametric Resonances and Bifurcations in Rotating Beams
The current research work addresses two interesting systems related to rotating beams. The first dynamical system under consideration is an articulated uniform beam rotating in vacuum under vertical hub excitation along ...
