Concentration Gradient Driven Natural Convection in Soluble Lead Redox Flow Batteries
Low cost and long cycle-life energy storage systems are needed to harness renewable
sources of energy at large scale. Among the options available, redox
ow batteries
(RFB) offer the maximum potential. The vanadium based ...
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 ...
Syngas Production by Methane Reforming and H2 Purification by CO Abatement over Transition Metal-Substituted Reducible Oxides
Methane and carbon dioxide are two major greenhouse gases, with CH4 having higher potency towards global warming. Several methods have been explored for transforming CH4 into higher value products, of which syngas production ...
Study of Solvent Induced Crystal Polymorphism via Molecular Simulations of Crystal Nucleation
The ability of a compound to exist in different crystal structures is called crystal polymorphism
and such crystals of varied spatial arrangement are called polymorphs. The polymorphic forms
can differ in their properties ...
Exploring water dynamics and gas separations in graphene oxide surfaces and nanopores
Graphene oxide (GO) is a chemically functionalized graphene with various oxygen-containing functional groups, such as epoxy (-O-), hydroxyl (-OH), and carboxyl (-COOH) on the basal plane. As a consequence, GOs have hydrophilic ...
Studies on a New Spinning Disc-Spinning Bowl Contactor/Mixer
Increased focus on continuous synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals has led to resurgence of process intensification. In this thesis we introduce a new continuous contactor. It works on the principle of impinging ...
A framework for optimizing immunotherapy for long-term control of HIV
HIV infects around 1 million people every year. Antiretroviral therapy
(ART) is used to suppress viral replication and control disease progression
but it cannot eradicate the virus. ART is therefore lifelong. Today, e ...
An Approach Towards Inactivation of Susceptible and Antibiotic Resistant Bacterial Contamination using Novel Photo–(electro)-catalysts
Water in most rivers in India does not meet the standards for drinking and even for bathing purposes due to the high concentration of coliforms, organic and inorganic contaminants. Overuse, uncontrolled release and careless ...
Droplet Microfluidics for Nucleic Acid Quantification and Single Cell Analysis
Droplet microfluidics provides controlled generation of monodispersed droplets of the order of a few picoliters in multiphase microfluidic systems. These droplets are employed as micro-reactors to conduct chemical/biochemical ...
Quality-quantity trade off during antibody production and the design of optimal passive immunization protocols
Passive immunization has been used classically to rapidly clear antigen
and reduce disease burden. Surprisingly, recent studies have found passive
immunization to induce lasting improvements in the humoral response, ...
