Structural Characteristics Of Randomly Packed Beds Of Spheres
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-20)Packed beds find extensive application in a wide variety of industries to cany out a large number of diverse processes. The main objective of the present work is to develop models to predict the arrangement of particles ... -
Structure and Dynamics of Fluids Under Nanoscale Confinement
Fluid molecules confined between solid surfaces separated by a few nanometers are of considerable interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology as they undergo structural and dynamical transitions absent in their corresponding ... -
Structure And Dynamics Of Interfacial And Confined Water
(2011-03-28)Understanding the structure and dynamics of molecularly thin films or the state of water confined to nanoscale dimensions is an active field of research and has wide applications in areas ranging from biology to geology. ... -
Studies In Low Density Polyethylene-Starch Blends

Studies In Stability Of Newtonian And Viscoelastic Fluid Flow Past Rigid And Flexible Surfaces
(2010-09-23)The surface oscillations in a deformable wall are known to induce an instability in the adjacent flow even in the absence of inertia. This instability, if understood properly, can be exploited to generate a well-mixed flow ... -
Studies in Water Treatment : Defluoridation using Adsorption, Denitrification using a Microbial Fuel Cell, and Contaminant Removal using Solar Distillation
(2018-05-23)This thesis includes both experimental and modelling studies on the treatment of drinking water. Three aspects were studied: (i) removal of fluoride (F– ) by adsorption, (ii) removal of fluoride and other contaminants by ... -
Studies on a New Spinning Disc-Spinning Bowl Contactor/Mixer
Increased focus on continuous synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals has led to resurgence of process intensification. In this thesis we introduce a new continuous contactor. It works on the principle of impinging ... -

Studies On Fabrication And Characterisation Of TiO2 Based Dye-Sensitised Solar Cells
(2017-07-10)Photovoltaic cells are a promising solution to the current energy crisis. Among the different photovoltaic cell technologies developed, dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSC) are emerging as viable low-cost alternatives to Si ... -
Studies On Oxidation Of Benzylidene Derivatives
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-10-05)Perfumery compounds isoeugenol and isosafrole can be oxidized to their aldehydes, vanillin and heliotropin respectively. The aldehydes obtained are very useful and commercially valuable products. Apart from their importance ... -
Studies On Phase Inversion
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-04)Agitated dispersions of one liquid in another immiscible liquid are widely used in chemical industry in operations such as liquid-liquid extraction, suspension polymerisation, and blending of polymers. When holdup of the ... -
Studies On The Application Of Liquid Membranes For The Removal Of Dissolved Metals From Effluents
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-21)Separation of dissolved metals from aqueous solutions using liquid membrane technology is highly advantageous owing to the degree of separation achieved, efficiency and application potential. In the present investigation ... -

Study of Phase Equilibria and Interfacial Properties of Systems Containing Clathrate Hydrates Using Molecular Simulations
Gas hydrates, also known as clathrate hydrates are nonstoichiometric and crystalline solids composed of water and gas molecules. If the gas molecules are natural gas components, such as methane, ethane, propane, etc., ... -
Study of Solvent Induced Crystal Polymorphism via Molecular Simulations of Crystal Nucleation
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 ...
