Lightweight, flexible, and easy-to-integrate solutions are in great demand in electronic devices. The present work deals with the preparation of Poly dimethyl siloxane (PDMS) based nanocomposite for suppressing electromagnetic ...

Landslides are major natural disasters which pose a significant risk to lives and infrastructure globally. As urbanization is increasing due to the increasing population in mountainous regions, the risk due to landslides ...

A quadcopter manipulator system (QMS) is an aerial robot comprising a quadcopter with a three degree of freedom manipulator mounted at the bottom of the vehicle. An aerial robot can reach otherwise inaccessible ...

In recent years, non-thermal plasma technology is becoming popular for chemical applications involving conversion/abatement/decomposition of compounds of interest. The specialty of non-thermal plasmas is to activate chemical ...

One of the key challenges in nanoparticle synthesis is the quality control on scaling up the operation from bench to plant scale, which is constrained by conventionally adopted batch operation. Translation from batch ...

It is known that concrete is weak in tension. Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is an alternative cementitious composite to increase the tensile strength, energy absorption capacity and durability of concrete structures. ...

Refractive-Index-Matched Fluorescent Particle Image Velocimetry for Investigation of Flow in Immersed Granular Materials The ubiquity of granular materials and their importance in everyday life, industry, and nature make ...

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 ...

This thesis deals with turbulent free convection in a horizontal fluid layer above a heated surface. The work can be roughly divided into two parts. In the &st part a model is proposed for the near wall dynamics in ...

Experimental techniques to measure and visualize kinematics in structural and solid mechanics range from humble strain gage rosettes to sophisticated digital image correlation methods. This thesis develops a stereo ...
