Structure property correlation studies on Ca-modified Ba(Ti, Zr/Sn)O3 piezoceramics
In this thesis we have investigated the structure, property correlation of the lead-free piezoelectric ceramic of (Ba,Ca) (Ti,Zr/Sn)O3 system. A self-consistent set of experimental techniques such as X-ray powder diffraction, ...
Subsonic, turbulent, round and plane, twin jets
Multiple jets appear in many engineering applications such as engines of launch vehicles
and aircraft, fuel injectors and other mixing devices. Twin jets are models to understand
the differences from single jets that can ...
Acquiring diagnostic knowledge from documents to predict issues in aircraft assembly
Expert knowledge is important in a product's lifecycle, especially during the manufacturing
part of the lifecycle. Most of such knowledge is obtained through experience and its reuse can
help prevent potential issues in ...
Non-linear Vibration of Beam Immersed in Fluid
In space launch vehicles with liquid propulsion system, various sub-systems like gas bottles, anti-slosh baffles and fluid lines are placed inside the propellant tanks which become partially filled over time during flight. ...
Structure-Property Correlation in Binary Immiscible Polymer Blends Compatibilized by Mutually Miscible Homopolymer and Carbonaceous Nanoparticles
The thesis systematically studies the various morphology, mechanical properties, crystallization kinetics and compatibilization effects of homopolymers, carbonaceous nanoparticles such as multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), ...
Effect of processing on texture and microstructure in Aluminium-Lithium alloys and its consequences on mechanical properties
Lightweight Aluminium -Lithium based alloys have high potential for use in aerospace structural components. However, large anisotropy in mechanical properties restricts the use of these alloys. The alloy AA2195 (Al-Li-Cu-Mg-Ag-Zr) ...
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 ...
Vapor Mediated Interaction in Droplets
Controlling internal flow in evaporating sessile droplets is desirable across applications ranging from lab-on-chip medical diagnostics, DNA profiling to surface patterning. Diffusion-limited evaporation in droplets exhibits ...
Analysis of Transcritical CO2 and CO2+ Propane Mixtures for Tropical Cooling Applications
The increasing global average ambient temperatures coupled with stringent environmental regulations has turned the focus on natural working fluids such as Carbon dioxide (CO2), and hydrocarbons for use in the refrigeration ...
Inverse problems solution using spectral finite element methods
Inverse problems are very challenging as these problems involve, finding the cause by analyzing the effects. In structural dynamics problems, the effects are normally measured in terms of dynamic responses in structures. ...
