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 ...
Particle Dynamics In A Turbulent Particle-Gas Suspension At High Stokes Number
(2010-12-08)
Particle laden turbulent flows find applications in many industrial processes such as energy conversion, air pollution control etc. In these types of flows, there are strong coupling between the turbulent fluctuations in ...
Wood Fiber Filled Polyolefin Composites
(2009-05-19)
The objective of the study is to improve the interfacial adhesion between the wood fibers and thermoplastic matrix. Efforts were also directed towards improving manufacturing processes so as to realize the full potential ...
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 ...
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 ...
Synthesis Of Biodiesel In Supercritical Fluids
(2008-01-25)
Alternative fuels are becoming important due to diminishing fossil fuel reserves and the
environmental hazards associated with exhaust gases. Biodiesel is an attractive alternative fuel because it is environmentally ...
Analysis Of Dense Sheared Granular Flows
(2011-01-27)
A granular material is a collection of discrete, solid particles of macroscopic size dispersed in an interstitial fluid, in which the fluid has an insignificant effect on the particle dynamics. Because they exhibit fascinating ...
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 ...
