Photocatalytic and Photoelectrocatalytic systems for water remediation and energy applications
This PhD work consists of two main parts. The first part focuses on photocatalytic systems for water remediation from bacteria and phenolic compounds, and the second part deals with photoelectrocatalytic systems for biomass ...
Simulation and Characterization of Streamflow Time Series
Streamflow can be partitioned into distinct time scales to better understand the underlying governing processes: fast flow, representing surface runoff controlled mainly by meteorological processes that operate over ...
Constitutive Theories for Polymers Using Non-Classical Continuum Mechanics
This thesis is on the development of a few constitutive theories characterising the thermo-mechanical response of polymers. In proposing the theories, some aspects of non-classical continuum mechanics are used. The first ...
Macroscopic crowd flow and risk modelling in mass religious gathering
Understanding the principles and applications of crowd dynamics in mass gatherings is very important, specifically with respect to crowd risk analysis and crowd safety. Historical trends from India and other countries ...
Steady Sedimentation of Particles in Long Vertical Tube and Effect of End Boundary Conditions on Convective Motion
Sedimentation – settling of particles in a fluid- is observed in nature like rain droplets and dust particles in the atmosphere, and in a variety of industrial processes, like to clarify liquid as well as separate particles ...
On the development of Fe-containing high entropy alloys with improved strength at high temperatures
The emergence of new multicomponent high entropy alloys (HEA) has opened up new avenues for development of high performance materials for structural applications [1]. Among all of them, the precipitation strengthened HEAs ...
Investigation of thermoelectric properties of Sn-Te based alloys with microstructural studies
The basic concept of thermoelectricity is the conversion of dissipated heat into electricity with applications in the areas such as automobile engineering, refrigerating coolants, satellites, etc. The thermoelectric figure ...
Droplet Isothermal Amplification For Nucleic Acid Quantification
Nucleic acid quantification (NAQ) is extensively employed for gene expression analysis, monitoring viral loads, detecting rare or dysfunctional cells, and assessing treatment regimes. The gold standard, quantitative ...
Mechanics of collective cell migration on substrates of different stiffness
Collective cell migration is characteristic in many physiological processes such as wound closure, morphogenesis, and cancer tumour metastasis. Experiments on cell monolayers demonstrated the formation of finger-like ...
Stability of wall-bounded compressible shear flows
In this work, the linear stability of compressible shear flows in channels and pipes are studied. A steady fully-developed laminar flow of an ideal gas, driven in a channel and a pipe by a constant body acceleration, is ...
