An Analytical Approach to Calculate the One-Dimensional Drift Velocity in Bubble Columns
Abstract: The design and scale-up of a bubble column reactor require a complete understanding of its complex hydrodynamics, which is influenced by the physical properties of the phases, the operating variables, and the design parameters. Current design procedures for bubble columns involve several steps of pilot-plant experimentation, which is expensive and time-consuming. One of the critical unknown parameters involved in designing any gas-liquid system is the gas holdup. The gas holdup …

Significance of the Malondialdehyde (MDA) Bioassay Methods in Lipid Peroxidation
Abstract: Along with all the metabolic reactions, the cell cytoplasm is engaged in the process of production of the free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The overproduction of reactive oxygen species in cell cytoplasm leads into the condition of the oxidative stress. This situation may also be the results of the combination of excessive formation of radicals derived from oxygen or nitrogen or both. Cellular components may be attacked in …

Cost Analysis and Optimization of a Nuclear Assisted Electrolytic Hydrogen Production and Distribution Network in India
Abstract: Hydrogen production by alkaline water electrolysis and its distribution via gas pipelines using nuclear electricity as the energy source is a possible scheme that may help facilitate the adoption and implementation of hydrogen energy systems on a large scale. This work provides a techno-economic assessment of a water cooled nuclear reactor based electrolytic hydrogen production and distribution infrastructure in a developing nation like India. The optimal conditions for electrolysis at …

Utilization of Mulberry Methanolic Leaf Extractive (MMLE) for Treating Hypercholesterolemia in Rat, Rattus norvegicus (L)
Abstract: Healthy diet is the foundation for a healthier workforce and lower healthcare costs. The diet therapy for regulation of cholesterol is exerting influence to reduce mortality and morbidity. The Methanolic Mulberry Leaf Extractives (MMLE) (at the rate of 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight) and the standard hypolipidemic medicine Questran were administered through the diet to the rats of hypercholesterolemia (maintained on high cholesterol diet). Treatment was five times per …

Nuclear Cogeneration Projects in India : An Assessment of the Current Scenario and Future Prospects
Abstract: Desalination of sea water through thermal and membrane based techniques and production of hydrogen through low temperature water electrolysis at facilities co-located with nuclear power plants are two areas identified for deploying co-generation projects in India in the near term. Nuclear desalination meets the requirements of clean drinking water in and around the nuclear facility, as well as to the in-house demand for high purity water for steam generation and …
