(2018-03-01)The present investigation is focused on the thermal performance of building materials, specifically their thermal transmittance, and consequent impact on building envelope and building thermal performance. Thermal performance ... -
Studies Of Glass Formation In Al-La-Ni And Mg-TM-RE Alloys With A Structure Mapping Approach
(2010-07-14)The glass-forming composition ranges in Al-La-Ni and Mg-TM (Cu, Zn)-Y alloys were predicted using Miedema’s model. Glass-forming abilities of Al-La-Ni alloys and Mg-Cu-RE alloys were studied in terms of reduced glass ... -
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 ... -
Studies On Acid Production Potential Of Some Sulphide Minerals And Bioremediation Of Acid Mine Drainage
(2009-08-19)Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a worldwide environmental problem associated with the mining wastes, generated from active and inactive mining sites from mineral processing activities. AMD is defined as the drainage that occurs ... -
Studies on alkali activated compressed earth bricks for structural masonry
Earth based construction materials are acknowledged as low carbon and low embodied energy materials. The investigations dealt in the thesis were mainly focused on exploring the geopolymer and lime-ground slag binders for ... -
