Development and Characterization of Ordered Magnetic Nanocomposite
Magnetic nano-particles dispersed in a non-magnetic matrix is promising for storage technology. Additionally, such magnetic nano composite (MNC) materials have potential applications in the field of telecommunication, ...
Kinematic Design and Optimal Synthesis of Parallel Manipulators Using Monte Carlo Method
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 ...
Resonances and beats in nonlinear structural acoustic waveguides
In this thesis that is entirely analytical in nature, nonlinear wave propagation in various structural-acoustic waveguide geometries is studied. The waveguides considered include a circular cylindrical waveguide with a ...
Jet Injection into Supersonic Crossflow: Flowfield and Mixing studies
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 ...
Development of PCM coupled heat pipe for space application
Axially grooved aluminium-ammonia heat pipes are extensively used for the thermal control of satellites. Heat pipes efficiently transfer waste heat from the electronic packages, housed inside the satellite, to thermal ...
Shock Dynamics due to Downstream Pressure Perturbations: Idealization of Transonic Unstarted Cascade Flutter
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 ...
Experimental studies on Soot and Particulate reduction in Heavy Fuel Oil Combustion
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 ...
Experimental Studies on Methanol Sprays for IC Engine Applications
In this work, studies have been conducted on sprays of methanol and its emulsions with diesel towards assessing the potential of methanol as an alternative fuel for IC engines. Methanol can be used in compression ignition ...
Experimental and Numerical Studies on Low Emission Syngas Combustion
The present study concerns experimental and numerical investigation of the combustion of low-calorific value syngas in an optically accessible reverse flow combustion chamber. Several modes of operation are investigated ...
A phenomenological one-dimensional model for elastic ribbons
Ribbons exhibit fascinating buckling-dominated behavior under mechanical loading because of
a unique combination of geometric dimensions. The recent interest in examining engineering
applications of ribbon-like structures ...
