Often, breakdown of cables and transformer bushings under ac conditions is believed to be due to thermal breakdown of the insulation in these equipment. Recently certain extensions to the theory of thermal breakdown ...

Despite copious experimental results, space charge formation in dielectrics is yet to be understood. Dynamics of current conduction across dielectric specimen is attributed for the formation of different types of space ...

The ability of Phasor Measurement Units to measure the phase angle of input signals makes them suitable for dynamic events monitoring. However, under dynamic conditions, e.g., power swing, the steady state definition ...

In this study, the electrostatic approximation is used to evaluate the optical coefficients of gold nanorod embedded tissue. These are influenced by the tissue type, size of gold nanorod and the wavelength of incident radiation.

Use of agricultural residues, like wheat or rice straw for energy generation, is the most effective measure in terms of costs and availability. The present paper focuses the need of such measure, its impact on the environment ...

The present study is concerned with assessment of the thermal performance of a typical heat transfer system, viz. Hot Air Generator (HAG) used in drying applications. The thermal performance of operations of hot air ...

Composite manufacturing is one of the most imperative advances in the history of materials. Nanoparticles have been attracting increasing attention in the composite community because of their capability of improving ...

Detonation gun-sprayed coatings are known for their high density, high bond strength, moderate substrate heating, superior surface finish, better wear/corrosion resistance, and low cost. In this study, detonation ...

The main aim of this study is to evaluate corrosion and biocompatibility behavior of thermal spray hydroxyapatite (HA) and hydroxyapatite/titania bond (HA/TiO2)-coated 316L stainless steel (316L SS). In HA/TiO2 coatings, ...

In this study, AZ91 based hybrid nanocomposite was fabricated using mixture of TiC and alumina by friction stir processing (FSP). FSP of AZ91 was conducted with as well as without particle addition and under different ...
