Two-temperature thermodynamics and continuum modelling of viscoplaticity in metals
In recent years, numerous studies have shown the complexity of plastic deformation in metals. The accuracy in modelling inelastic behaviour holds great significance for engineers as metals and metallic alloys are extensively ...
Lignin and Extractive Tracing - an Alternative approach to Assess and Predict Biogas Yields and Production Rates among Tropical Biomass Feedstocks
Predicting biogas yields from the composition of biomass feedstocks has been difficult primarily due to the variations found in their chemical composition and structure of lignocellulosics. This study aims at understanding, ...
Additive Manufacturing of Inconel 718 Cellular Structures
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is getting adopted in various industries like automobile, aerospace, medical, nuclear, defense, and space, amongst many others, in the last five to ten years due to the tremendous advantages of ...
Design of Curved Aggressive Annular Diffusers
For economical air transportation, aero engines with lower specific fuel consumption, lower emissions and lower noise levels are required. To this end, the use of turbofan engine with high bypass ratio is an option. With ...
Studies on Processed Granulated Blast Furnace Slag as Fine Aggregate in Mortars and Concrete
Fine aggregate is essential for the preparation of mortar and concrete. There are attempts to find alternatives to the river sand as the natural sources for fine aggregates are dwindling. Currently, sand mining from river ...
Studies on Non-Destructive Evaluation of Friction Stir Weld Discontinuities with Probability of Detection
Friction stir welding(FSW) is a solid-state metal joining process which is currently being
considered for joining of aerospace components. The zones associated with FSW are distinctly
different from the fusion weld and ...
Valorization of Residual Ligno-celluloses from Anaerobic Digesters Through Product Recovery
Complete digestion of lignocellulosic biomass during anaerobic digestion (AD) is impossible due to recalcitrance created by lignin, consequently leaving behind a significant part of the feedstock unconverted to methane. ...
Characterization of Corneal Lens of Drosophila melanogaster and its Genetic Mutants using Atomic Force Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope
Drosophila melanogaster (the fruit fly) is a widely used model organism for the study of human disease condition and genetic pathways due to the high degree of gene conservation between fly and human. The compound eyes of ...
Synthesis and testing of eco-friendly, non-toxic cutting fluid emulsions
The evolutions in the development of metal working fluid (MWF) from petroleum based products have brought remarkable changes to the present growing machining industry. The established MWF/Cutting fluids have reduced the ...
