Development Of Ionic Catalysts For The Water-gas Shift Reaction And Exhaust Gas Purification
(2013-04-04)
Treatment of fuel cell feed H2 for the removal of CO is important owing to the poisoning of the catalysts, thereby affecting the performance of the fuel cell. Strong and preferential adsorption of CO over the catalyst takes ...
Turbulence in Soft Walled Micro Channels
(2017-12-07)
In comparison to the flow in a rigid channel, there is a multi-fold reduction in the transition Reynolds number for the flow in a micro channel when one of the walls is made sufficiently soft, due to a dynamical instability ...
Modeling Human Immunodeficiency Virus Transmission and Infection
(2018-05-21)
HIV-1 is a global pandemic with about 39 million people infected. In India, 2.9 million people are infected and about 2 lakh new infections have been reported last year. To date, there is no cure for HIV/AIDS. Current ...
Modeling and Experimental Investigations into Soluble Lead Redox Flow Battery : New Mechanisms
(2018-05-14)
Continued emission of green house gases has energized research activity worldwide to develop efficient ways to harness renewal energy. The availability of large scale energy storage technologies is essential to make renewal ...
Testing the Hypothesis of Quorum Sensing in Vibrio fischeri : Luminescence, Motility, and Biofilm
(2018-03-15)
The individual behaviour of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria often gives rise to complexity that is commonly associated with multicellular behaviour. The transition from unicellular to multicellular behaviour occurs ...
Direct Numerical Simulations and Fluctuating Force Simulations of Turbulent Particle-gas Suspensions
(2018-05-18)
Turbulent gas-particle suspensions are of great practical importance in many naturally phenomena, such as dust storms and snow avalanches, as well as in industrial applications such as fluidised, circulating bed reactors ...
Computational Study of Stokesian Suspensions using Particle Mesh Ewald Summation
(2018-07-18)
We consider fast computation methods for simulation of dynamics of a collection of particles dispersed in an unbounded Stokesian suspension. Stokesian suspensions are of great practical interest in the manufacturing and ...
Studies in Water Treatment : Defluoridation using Adsorption, Denitrification using a Microbial Fuel Cell, and Contaminant Removal using Solar Distillation
(2018-05-23)
This thesis includes both experimental and modelling studies on the treatment of drinking water. Three aspects were studied: (i) removal of fluoride (F– ) by adsorption, (ii) removal of fluoride and other contaminants by ...
Experimental Determination And New Correlations For Multi-Component Solid Solubilities In Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
(2016-03-02)
The fluids that are operated above their critical temperature and pressure are
known as supercritical fluids (SCFs). SCFs replaces the conventional organic solvents
in the chemical processes due to their attractive ...
