Turbulence Modeling for Predicting Flow Separation in Rocket Nozzles
(2018-01-30)
Convergent-Divergent (C-D) nozzles are used in rocket engines to produce thrust as a reaction to the acceleration of hot combustion chamber gases in the opposite direction. To maximize the engine performance at high ...
Modeling and Simulation of Biomolecular Flow in Microchannel
(2018-01-01)
Microfluidics deals with the behavior, control and manipulation of fluids which are confined at micrometer length scale. It has important application in lab-on-a chip technology, micro-propulsion, additive manufacturing, ...
Microgravity Flow Transients in the Context of On-Board Propellant Gauging
(2018-02-15)
It is well known that surface tension of a liquid has a decisive role in flow dynamics and the eventual equilibrium state, especially in confined flows under low gravity conditions and also in free surface flows. One such ...
An Interactive Support For Developing Environmentally Friendly Product Lifecycles
(2011-08-04)
Products make substantial impact on environment. Design for Environment (DfE) is an approach to design where all the environmental impacts of a product are considered over entire products life. Since over 80% of the product ...
Studies into Thermal Transmittance of Conventional and Alternative Building Materials and Associated with Building Thermal Performance
(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 ...
Distributed Bioenergy Systems For Expanding Rural Electricity Access In Tumkur District, India : A Feasibility Assessment Using GIS, Heuristics And Simulation Models
(2013-06-20)
Energy is an important input for various activities that provide impetus to economic,
human and social development of any country. Among all the energy carriers, electricity is the most important and sought after energy ...
Assessment of Environmental Issues And Biodegradation Aspects of Current MSW Practices of Developing Country Metropolises - A Case Study of Bangalore
(2017-10-18)
Municipal solid waste (MSW) production has significantly increased in the rapidly urbanizing developing world and also changed composition with increased decomposable organic fraction in MSW (OFMSW) and plastics content. ...
Studies on Modified Clay Additives to Impart Iodide Sorption Capacity to Bentonite in the Context of Safe Disposal of High Level Nuclear Waste
(2018-03-03)
It is a generally agreed internationally that high level nuclear wastes containing long-lived radioactive wastes should be disposed in deep and stable geological formations that are 500-1000 m below ground level. Deep ...
Reliability Based Approach for Evaluation of MSW Landfill Designs and Site Selection using GIS
(2018-02-28)
Dumping of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated due to anthropogenic activities in any barren land or out fields causes severe hazards to human populations, ecosystems and the environment. In order to avoid this, it is ...
Evaluation of the Engineering Properties of Municipal Solid Waste for Landfill Design
(2018-07-18)
The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the engineering properties of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) that are necessary in the design of landfills. The engineering properties of MSW such as compressibility, shear strength, ...
