Modelling and Experimental Studies on Dynamic Behaviour of Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors
lectrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) can store and deliver electrical
energy at high power density with long cycle life, and can absorb peak
charge/discharge loads. EDLCs can be used with batteries to insulate ...
Gravity flow of granular materials through a vertical channel
Grains and powders are the second most widely used materials in industries
and daily life after simple fluids. There are a variety of granular materials such
as food grains, detergents, tablets and capsules, fertilizers, ...
Understanding the interplay between immune response and virus evolution
RNA viruses are the underlying cause of many human diseases, including the common cold, influenza, dengue fever, and COVID-19. Their ability to evolve rapidly makes them challenging to tackle, resulting in public health ...
Computational study of membrane driven secondary structural changes in proteins
Conformational changes in proteins, the most abundant biomolecule found in all living organisms, are ubiquitous and triggered by several factors essential for protein function. Protein conformational changes typically occur ...
Accurate Prediction of Enhancement Factors for Water Flow Through Boron Nitride Nanotubes
Water in nanoconfined spaces, such as nanotubes, exhibit anomalous yet intriguing behaviour compared to bulk water, a better understanding of which can enable us to realize a sustainable future. Nanotubes are atomically ...
Platinum overlayers characterization and fabrication via self-terminating electrodeposition
Hydrogen is considered a promising alternative fuel for the future. However, despite its perception as a “zero-carbon” energy carrier, fossil fuels remain the primary feedstocks for hydrogen production, involving significant ...
Synthesis of Monodispersed Pdms Microspheres of Tunable Modulus Using Droplet Microfluidics and Study of the Rheology of Dense Suspensions of Rigid and Soft Particles in Shear Flow
We report the synthesis of monodispersed PDMS microspheres of tuneable modulus using a droplet-based microfluidics approach. Nevertheless, polymer microspheres can be used as a model representative particle to mimic the ...
Novel Microfluidic Tools for Multiplex Colorimetric Detection of Analytes and Point Mutation Detection in Infectious Pathogens
Recently, the need for affordable point-of-care tests has grown exponentially. An ideal point of
care (POC) test or device should satisfy the WHO-endorsed ASSURED criteria, meaning that the
test/device should be accessible, ...
Mesoscale Modelling of sheared lamellar mesophases
The lamellar phase or smectic lyotropic liquid crystalline medium, which
is made up of alternating flat sheets of water and surfactant bilayers shearing
past each other in an imposed flow. Surprisingly, In practical ...
Micromechanical understanding of the macroscopic features of dense granular materials
The prevalence of granular materials in nature (soil, beach sand, rubble pile asteroids) and in several industries (cement, food grains, pharmaceutical powders) has motivated extensive research towards understanding the ...
