Parallel manipulators are widely used for a variety of tasks where increased accuracy and large load carrying capacities are required. In this work, we propose a Monte Carlo based method to represent and quantify the ...

The ability of a compound to exist in different crystal structures is called crystal polymorphism and such crystals of varied spatial arrangement are called polymorphs. The polymorphic forms can differ in their properties ...

Shock wave unsteadiness is an important phenomenon in high-speed aerodynamics. This phenomenon is observed in many locations of high-speed vehicles, such as supersonic inlets, ramjet engines, transonic airfoils, high-speed ...

Route choice models (or path choice models) are useful for quantifying travellers’ preferences for or sensitivity to route attributes, predicting network-level traffic flows, examining the influence of information provided ...

In the recent times, changes are noted in hydrological processes (e.g., surface runoff, lateral flow, infiltration, return flow, evapotranspiration, soil moisture and streamflow) in different river basins of the world due ...

The north Indian Ocean is one of the highly productive regions among the tropical oceans. Being a prominent monsoon regime, the basin exists as a highly dynamic region charac- terised by intense mixing and upwelling and ...

Methane and carbon dioxide are two major greenhouse gases, with CH4 having higher potency towards global warming. Several methods have been explored for transforming CH4 into higher value products, of which syngas production ...

Supersonic air-breathing engines or scramjets are perhaps the most important technological hurdles towards the development of hypersonic transportation vehicles for both easy access to space and for missile related ...

The modelling of spray-wall interaction encountered in engine combustors relies heavily on studies of single drop impact on heated solid surfaces. In the present thesis, the impact of a single fuel drop on a hot, smooth ...

Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is extensively used in industrial burners and marine engines. HFO droplet combustion gives rise to carbon particulates generated by pyrolysis, which are called cenospheres. There is a current hypothesis ...
