Aqueous Phase Oxidation Of Sulfur Dioxide In Stirred Slurry Reactors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-18)Air pollution by sulfur dioxide is of great concern due to its harmful effects on environment, human beings, fauna and flora. Fossil-fuel-fired power plants are one of the major sources of SO2 emissions. Typically the ... -
Autonomous Orbit Estimation For Near Earth Satellites Using Horizon Scanners
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-10-20)Autonomous navigation is the determination of satellites position and velocity vectors onboard the satellite, using the measurements available onboard. The orbital information of a satellite needs to be obtained to support ... -
Chemorhelogical Modeling Of Amine-Cured Multifunctional Epoxy Resin Systems Used As Matrices In Aerospace Composites
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-13)High performance multifunctional epoxy resin systems are becoming increasingly important as matrix materials for the advanced composites used in aerospace, electronics, automotive and other industries. In a composite based ... -
Distributed Computation With Communication Delays: Design And Analysis Of Load Distribution Strategies
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-11-09)Load distribution problems in distributed computing networks have attracted much attention in the literature. A major objective in these studies is to distribute the processing load so as to minimize the time of processing ... -
Experimental And Computational Investigations Of Underexpanded Jets From Elliptical Sonic Nozzles
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-10-25)Three dimensional nozzles and jet flows have attracted the attention of many researchers due to their potential application to many practical devices. Rectangular nozzles are considered for short/vertical take off and ... -
A Model For Heat Transfer In A Honey Bee Swarm
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-20)During spring, it has been observed that several thousand bees leave their hive, and settle on some object such as a tree branch. Some of the scout bees search for a suitable place where a new hive can be set up, while the ... -
Predictability of tropical coupled ocean-atmosphere model and its dependence on initial conditions
El Niño and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant interannual signal in the tropics. This aperiodic phenomenon arises out of strong interactions between the tropical ocean and the atmosphere. Investigations with ... -
Prediction Of Separation Factor In Foam Separation Of Proteins
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-20)Polyhedral foams offer large gas-liquid interfacial area associated with a small amount of liquid. Therefore, if a solute adsorbs preferentially at the interface, the concentration of the solute in the foam will be greater ... -
