Metal Matrix Composites (MMC's) are playing a very important role in the industrial growth because of their superior properties such as high toughness, high specific strength, high temperature resistance, high stiffness ...

Globalization has created numerous problems for industries worldwide. Its influence has grown over the last few decades, affecting manufacturing industries' competitiveness and rendering them highly vulnerable. In such ...

In the forced convection heat transfer, the magnetic nanofluids have been proved efficient, theoretically and experimentally. But, a conflict exists between the theoretical and experimental studies on the natural convection ...

Centrifugal pumps are being extensively used for hydraulic transportation of solids over short and medium distances through pipelines where the requirements of head and discharge are moderate. The performance and erosive ...

The understanding of operating and emergency thermal hydraulic conditions of the Indian nuclear power plant play significant role for safety of power plant. The fleet of nuclear plant consists of 22 commercial operating ...

Due to lower neutron absorption cross section, favourable thermo-mechanical and creep properties, Zr- Nb alloys are commonly used to manufacture pressure tubes and fuel claddings in nuclear reactors. Alloying with Nb helps ...

Drilling is one of the most commonly used machining process in manufacturing industry. In drilling, the entire volume of hole is converted to chips. If the holes produced have diameter larger than 30 mm, a lot of material ...

The Quantum Kinetic model used to predict the shock wave structure and the heat flux at the surface of the vehicle. The dsmcFoam solver is modified to include the Quantum Kinetic chemical reaction model for the hypersonic ...

is the second most used material for various industrial applications after the steel (Vargel et al., 2004). It is the most plentiful metal in the crust of earth (Handbook Metals, 1990). Duralumin was the first Al-Cu-Mg ...

Composites are a class of materials developed by reinforcing one or more materials to the matrix. The properties of a composite mainly depend on the factors like reinforcement material and processing method. The main ...
