Molecular Simulation Study of Electric Double Layer Capacitor With Aqueous Electrolytes
(2018-05-22)Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) are an important class of electrical energy storage devices which store energy in the form of electric double layers. The charging mechanism is highly reversible physical adsorption ... -
Monodisperse Gold Nanoparticles : Synthesis, Self-Assembly and Fabrication of Floating Gate Memory Devices
(2018-04-23)The emergence of novel electronic, optical and magnetic properties in ordered two-dimensional (2D) nanoparticle ensembles, due to collective dipolar interactions of surface plasmons or excitons or magnetic moments have ... -
Monte Carlo simulations of Electric Double Layer Capacitors with aqueous electrolytes
Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) also known as supercapacitors are a category of energy storage devices that are known for their remarkable power delivery (upto 1000KW/kg). The energy storage is through physical ... -
Multi-scale Modelling of Lamellar Mesophases
(2018-05-25)Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules which self-assemble at the interface in oil-water-surfactant mixtures such that the hydrophobic part, called tail, stays in oil and the remaining part, called head, resides in hydrophilic ... -
Non-catalytic synthesis of biodiesel and solubilities of mixtures of lipid derivatives in supercritical fluids
The fossil fuels are depleting rapidly as the demand for energy and its allied chemicals is continuously increasing in the modern world. In addition, the concerns over climate change due to the greenhouse gases emitting ... -
Non-catalytic Synthesis of Biolubricant Esters and their Solubilities in Supercritical Fluids
Breakdown products released due to increased loss of mineral oil based lubricants to the environment lead to aquatic toxicity and release of harmful volatile compounds into the atmosphere. The production of these conventional ... -
Novel Microfluidic Tools for Multiplex Colorimetric Detection of Analytes and Point Mutation Detection in Infectious Pathogens
Recently, the need for affordable point-of-care tests has grown exponentially. An ideal point of care (POC) test or device should satisfy the WHO-endorsed ASSURED criteria, meaning that the test/device should be accessible, ... -
Nurbs-Based Mesh-Free and Finite Element Methods in Computational Mechanics
A family of new mesh-free and mesh-based methods is developed and explored in the context of linear and nonlinear boundary and initial value problems of typical interest in engineering mechanics. A common feature in these ... -
Oxidation of Alcohols
Oxidation of ethanol and methanol are known to be feasible reactions. Equilibrium constants calculated show that these reactions are highly irreversible. Theoretically ethanol and methanol oxidations to their respective ... -
Oxidation of alkyl aromatics Part II : oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid in presence of promoters
The investigation on the catalytic vapour-phase oxidation of toluene in the presence of gaseous promoters was taken up to determine the operating conditions favourable for the maximum conversion to benzoic acid. The effects ... -
Oxidation of Aromatic hydrocarbons
TITLE: THE OXIDATION OF AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS. The literature on the oxidation of benzene, phenol, p-quinone and maleic anhydride has been reviewed. Various kinetic models have been presented for oxidation of benzene but ... -
Oxidation of ortho-xylene
The thesis embodies the work on the vapour?phase oxidation of o-xylene over sintered and compacted vanadium pentoxide catalyst in a fixed?bed reactor (FBR) and a continuous stirred?tank catalytic reactor (CSTCR). A survey ... -
Oxidation of Sulfur Dioxide with Copper (II) catalyst in aqueous solution and on poly-4-vinylpyridine resin
Air pollution by sulfur dioxide is of great concern due to its harmful effects on environment, human beings, fauna and flora. Thermal power plants and industries employing combustion of carbonaceous fuels are the major ... -
Oxygen Transfer In Pichia Pastoris Fermentation
(2009-03-17)Recombinant Pichia pastoris is one of the important methylotropic yeast due to its robustness and ability to produce hormones like human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), luteinizing hormone (LH) extracellularly. High growth ... -
Paper microfluidic tools to improve the sensitivity and dynamic range of point-of-care immunoassays
Over the past decade, developing affordable home-based tests to diagnose infectious diseases has become a pressing need. The lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is the most successfully commercialized point-of-care immunoassay. ... -
Paper-Based Point-of-Care Diagnostic Tools: Electrokinetic Nucleic Acid Extraction and Saliva-Based Glucose Detection for Diabetes Monitoring
Currently, we face a global challenge posed by the dual burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes and infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB). Low-and middle-income countries are disproportionately overburdened by ...
