Holographic interferometric study of natural convective heat transfer in vertical rectangular enclosures
Natural convective flows, induced by buoyancy forces on the fluid, in rectangular enclosures are important in many engineering applications such as thermal insulation of buildings, double-glazed windows and in flat plate ... -
Hot Deformation Behaviour of Some Refractory Metals and Alloys
(2018-06-21)Out of the known refractory metals and alloys, molybdenum (Mo) and its alloys are very important due to their unique combination of properties which render them suitable for various applications. Owing to their good creep ... -
Hyaluronic Acid Based Biodegradable Polyelectrolyte Nanocapsules and Modified Protein Nanoparticles for Targeted Delivery of Anticancer Agents
(2018-08-02)Targeted delivery aids in minimizing most of the drug-originated systemic toxic effects as well as improving the pharmacokinetic properties of anticancer therapeutics. Tumor targeting using hyaluronic acid (HA) as the ... -
Hybird Central Solvers for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
(2018-05-11)The hyperbolic conservation laws model the phenomena of nonlinear waves including discontinuities. The coupled nonlinear equations representing such conservation laws may lead to discontinuous solutions even for smooth ... -
Hybrid Model for Micro-channel Heat Exchangers used in sCO2 Brayton Power Blocks
Studies have shown that Micro-channel Heat Exchangers (MCHEs) commonly referred to as Printed Circuit Heat Exchangers (PCHEs) are suitable candidates for recuperators and gas coolers used in sCO2 power blocks. CFD and 1-d ... -
Hybrid Physics-Data Driven Models for the Solution of Mechanics Based Inverse Problems
Inverse problems pose a significant challenge as they aim to estimate the causal factors that result in a measured response. However, the responses are often truncated, partially available, and corrupted by measurement ... -
A Hydroclimatological Change Detection and Attribution Study over India using CMIP5 Models
(2017-11-14)As a result of increase in global average surface temperature, abnormalities in different hydroclimatic components such as evapotranspiration, stream flow and precipitation have been experienced. So investigation has to ... -
Hydroclimatological Modeling Using Data Mining And Chaos Theory
(2013-09-03)The land–atmosphere interactions and the coupling between climate and land surface hydrological processes are gaining interest in the recent past. The increased knowledge in hydro climatology and the global hydrological ... -
Hydrodynamics Of An Oscillating Foil With A Long Flexible Trailing Edge
(2010-09-24)In nature, many swimming and flying creatures use the principle of oscillatory lift-based propulsion. Often the flapping element is flexible, totally or partially. The flow dynamics because of a flexible flap is thus of ... -
Hydrologic Impacts of Climate Change : Detection and Attribution
Detecting, quantifying, and modelling the effects of human-induced climate change in regional hydrology is important for studying the impacts of such changes on the water resources systems as well as for reliable future ... -
Hydrologic Impacts Of Climate Change : Uncertainty Modeling
(2009-07-02)General Circulation Models (GCMs) are tools designed to simulate time series of climate variables globally, accounting for effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They attempt to represent the physical processes in ... -
Hydrologic Impacts Of Clmate Change : Quantification Of Uncertainties
(2011-02-10)General Circulation Models (GCMs), which are mathematical models based on principles of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and radiative transfer, are the most reliable tools available for projecting climate change. However, ... -
Hydrologic Inference: A Complex Systems Approach
The aim of this thesis is to understand linkages between hydrologic processes and patterns from the perspective of a complex system. In hydrologic systems, there exist interactions of hydrologic components among themselves ... -
Hydrologic Response of Upper Ganga Basin to Changing Land Use and Climate
(2018-04-17)Numerous studies indicate that the hydrology of a river basin is influenced by Land Use Land Cover (LULC) and climate. LULC affects the quality and quantity of water resources through its influence on Evapotranspiration ... -
Hyperspectral Remote Sensing for Land Cover Classification and Chlorophyll Content Estimation using Advanced Machine Learning Techniques
In the recent years, remote sensing data or images have great potential for continuous spatial and temporal monitoring of Earth surface features. In case of optical remote sensing, hyperspectral (HS) data contains abundant ... -
Hyperspectral remote sensing for soil property estimation in the context of spectral mixtures
The implementation of sustainable agricultural, hydrological, and environmental management entails an improved understanding of soil properties and its conditions at increasingly finer resolutions. In this context, the ... -
Identification of crystalline structures of clathrate hydrates during molecular simulations using machine learning
Molecular simulation is a powerful tool that links a system’s microscopic behaviour to its macroscopic observable features. The data obtained from a molecular simulation act as a digital microscope, i.e., it contains ... -
