Cassia Fistula Leaf and Flower Extract and their Antibacterial Activity: A Comparative Study
Abstract: Overwhelming side effects of synthetic drugs has attracted researchers for the search and use of herbal drugs. Neem and Curcumin are very widely studied and research is still going on these species. However, Cassia Fistula, is one such plant which has various medicinal values and is less studied. Thus, the present investigation studies the extraction of leaf and flower constituents and the extract has been characterized by FTIR and NMR …

Development of dynamic model for alkaline water electrolyser: Application to disturbance analysis
Abstract: A dynamic model of an alkaline water electrolyser plant has been developed to study its time dependent behaviour when it is subjected to dynamically varying inputs like changing electrolyte flow, inlet temperature, pressure, current, voltage. Such dynamic conditions are expected to arise during start up and shut down and also when the electrolyser is coupled to a nuclear or renewable electricity source, both of which exhibit time dependent power output …

Optimal power dispatch in nuclear cogeneration plants for electricity, water and hydrogen production: A parametric study
Abstract: Nuclear cogeneration projects where apart from electricity, valuable products like desalinated and purified water, hydrogen and oxygen gases from electrolysis of the water are produced are capable of providing water and energy security in developing and developed nations. They can also potentially become sources of additional revenue for the power plant operators. A simple approach using energy and economics data from published literature is used in this work to develop …

Passive Capillary Flow of Dyed Ethylene Glycol in the SU-8 based Glass Microfluidic Devices Fabricated by Microfabrication Technologies
Abstract: In this work, total 4 individual SU-8 based glass microfluidic devices are fabricated by the steps of maskless lithography and indirect bonding technique using author’s own hands-on completely. Dyed ethylene glycol (80% red dye, 20% ethylene glycol) is prepared as working liquid. The CMOS camera catching 25 frames per second with a corresponding time-scale resolution of 0.04 second is used to record the surface-driven capillary flow of dyed ethylene glycol …

The new method of mixing in an advanced ceramics processing
Abstract: Ceramics for today’s engineering applications can be considered as advanced, new or fine, and utilize highly refined materials. These new or advanced ceramics, when used as an engineering material, possess several properties which can be viewed as superior to metal-based systems. These properties place this new group of ceramics in a most attractive position, not only in the area of performance but also cost effectiveness. These properties include high resistance …
