Anthropogenic climate change is now well-established and is expected to have serious implications on Terrestrial Hydrologic cycle. This inspired scientific investigation to assess the impact of various climatic processes ...

Bistable arches have two force-free stable equilibrium configurations. They also show multimodality by switching between their stable states in multiple deformation pathways. These two attributes and their nonlinear ...

The γ – TiAl based intermetallics are characterized by unique combination of the properties which make these materials amenable for the application in gas turbines. However, due to problems related to limited plasticity ...

Soft soils are composed of large portions of silts and clay and are characterized by low strength and high compressibility owing to their high-water content. Biocementation techniques are emerging as a strong alternative ...

Closed-cycle gas turbines can complement conventional power conversion systems due to their potential for improved efficiencies, compact system layouts, and the ability to exploit non-fossil fuel energy sources which leads ...

The work herein aims at developing new class of low mass density gamma-strengthened Co-based superalloys with good solvus temperature through systematic addition of Cr into the Co-Ni-Al- Mo-Ta based superalloy. The present ...

Low cost and long cycle-life energy storage systems are needed to harness renewable sources of energy at large scale. Among the options available, redox ow batteries (RFB) offer the maximum potential. The vanadium based ...

BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene isomers) are monoaromatic, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with single benzene ring and various degree of alkylation. US EPA classifies benzene and TEX (toluene, ethylbenzene, ...

Wall-bounded turbulent flows that possess finite curvature of the mean flow streamlines are known to be starkly different from their plane counterparts. One of the primary distinguishing features of such flows is the ...

Lean premixed combustion is preferred in gas turbines because of the reduced (NOx) emissions. However, the combustors operating in lean premixed regime could suffer from problems like flame flashback, flame blowoff and ...
