Ethylene glycol (EG) is an important organic molecule with unique properties and a wide range of applications. The EG molecule shares a structural motif with many biomolecules and serves as a part of the training set for ... -
Evaluating Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation Potential of Sustainable Urban Transport Measures in India
The global climate is transforming due to increased GHG emissions. Globally, the response to climate change has been through mitigation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Urban transportation is the second leading source ... -
Evaluation of Btex Contamination in Bengaluru Groundwater and Remediation of Contaminated Water Samples
BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene isomers) are monoaromatic, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with single benzene ring and various degree of alkylation. US EPA classifies benzene and TEX (toluene, ethylbenzene, ... -
Evaluation of Hygrothermal Ageing In Cfrp Composite Material: A Study Using Non-destructive Techniques
Advanced composite materials are replacing conventional metals/alloys in aerospace industries due to their excellent strength and stiffness-to-density ratio as well as some other better physical and mechanical properties ... -
Evaluation of Power-Law Creep in Bending
Materials for engineering components operating at high temperatures during their service like rockets, aero-turbines, automobile engines, nuclear power plants, steam power plants and micro-electronics are often designed ... -
Evolution of plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings formed on AM50 Mg alloy utilizing various alkaline electrolytes with and without glycerol additive and its corrosion behavior
The widespread application for Mg and its alloys are severely restricted mainly due to its relatively low strength and ductility and poor corrosion behaviour, particularly in the aqueous environment. The plasma electrolytic ... -
Experimental Studies on Methanol Sprays for IC Engine Applications
In this work, studies have been conducted on sprays of methanol and its emulsions with diesel towards assessing the potential of methanol as an alternative fuel for IC engines. Methanol can be used in compression ignition ... -
Experimental studies on the fracture and fatigue failure processes under direct tension in quasi-brittle materials - Graphite and Concrete
Abstract Fatigue phenomenon is a gradual, permanent, micro structural change that takes place in a material due to the application of repeated loading. In the case of quasi-brittle materials like graphite and concrete, ... -
Experimental Study of Multiphase Flow in the Presence of Raceway in the Packed Beds
The lower part of the iron-making blast furnace is very important for operational stability and productivity of it. It represents a multiphase flow, including a cohesive zone. In order to reduce the coke consumption and ... -
Explicit Filtering LES for turbulent premixed flames
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 ... -
Exploration of New Materials and Processes for Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistors
Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistors (ISFETs) find applications as front end transducers in the biomedical domain as a biosensor. The favourable characteristics of ISFETs like sensitivity, speed, miniaturization, easy ... -
Exploring Electron Bubbles in Liquid Helium using Cavitation
An electron entering liquid helium experiences a repulsive potential of 1 eV. This originates in the interaction between the injected electron and electrons of the closed shells of helium atoms through Pauli exclusion ... -
Exploring Nature's Inventory: Investigating the Role of Amide to Thioamide Substitution on Protein Stability
The peptide backbone holds a protein together and plays a crucial role in guiding its three-dimentional structure. The tertiary structure of proteins regulates several biological processes. Therefore, peptide bond modification ... -
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 ... -
