Saha","doi":"10.9790/4861-0901032731","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.9790/4861-0901032731","url":null,"abstract":"There are various methods such as arc discharge, laser ablation, chemical vapour deposition (CVD), template-directed synthesis for the growth of CNTs in the presence of catalyst particles. The production of carbon nanotubes in large quantities is possible with inexpensive coal as the starting carbon source by the arc discharge technique. It is found that a large amount of carbon nanotubes of good quality can be obtained in the cathode deposits in which carbon nanotubes are present in nest-like bundles. For more than two decades, now, there has been extensive research on the production of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and optimization of its manufacture for the industrial applications. It is believed that they are the strong enough but most flexible materials known to mankind. They have potential to take part in new nanofabricated materials. It is known that, carbon nanotubes could behave as the ultimate one-dimensional material with remarkable mechanical properties. Moreover, carbon nanotubes exhibit strong electrical and thermal conducting properties. This paper primarily concentrates on the optimising such parameters related to the mass production of the product. It has been shown through Simplex process that based on the cost of the SWNT obtained by the arc discharge technique, the voltage and the current should lie in the range of 30 42 V and 49 66 A respectively. Any combination above the given values will lead to a power consumption cost beyond the final product cost, in turn leading to infeasibility of the process. Strong expectations exist for future use of carbon nanotubes as composite materials in a large number of industries. Production cost and control of the purity and properties of such materials will influence the impacts nanotubes on the chemical, computer and construction industries. Coal properties in this case are also important. Weak bonds and mineral matter in the coal play an important role in the formation of the nanotubes.","PeriodicalId":14502,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Applied Physics","volume":"34 1","pages":"27-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75676387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The electrons and positrons are assumed to be following the nonextensive distribution popularly known as Tsallis distribution. The standard nonlinear equation i.e. Korteweg de-Vries (KdV) equation has been solved numerically using suitable mathematical transformations. The effect of nonextensivity (q) and nonplanar geometry on the amplitudes and width of ion acoustic potential structures have been studied numerically. A transition from negative to positive potential structures have been observed for the planar as well as nonplanar geometries for lower values of q in the range −1 < q < 0. Soliton amplitude is maximum for spherical waves and is minimum and for planar waves while it lies in between the two for cylindrical waves. The present investigation may help us in understanding the study of cylindrical and spherical solitary waves in astrophysical plasmas.","PeriodicalId":14502,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Applied Physics","volume":"2 1","pages":"51-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90199013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The change of stress-strain behaviour of waste plastic depends on environment factors and the number of days exposed to heating at day time and cooling at night. Stress-strain behaviour of commercial grade polypropylene at the end of each thermal fatigue cycles was studied. Heating-cooling cycle was set to 8 hours for heating at a specified temperature (80°C, 100°C, 120°C 140°C and 160°C) and air cooling over night at ambient temperature. Toughness of each sample was calculated in two different ways, in one method it was calculated using regression equation based on stress values of strains at 0.5% , 1% , yield point, breaking point and strains at one third and two third of plastic region. In the other method, the geometrical area of the stress–strain curve was calculated using yield stress, breaking stress, elastic limit, young modules. Matching ratio of toughness (β) is defined as a new index to calculate the ratio of toughness calculated from regression equation and parameters of stress-strain curve. The percentage of relative difference of matching ratio ( %) of toughness is defined as another index. It is defined with respect to the matching ratio of commercial polypropylene samples without exposing to the thermal fatigue conditions ( 0 ).The percentage of the retention of plastic behaviour (RPB %) of commercial plastic product is defined as another index. It can be calculated when 0 is known. The proposed model can be used to calculates retention of plastic behaviour (RPB%) as a percentage with respect to the original state under the natural condition.","PeriodicalId":14502,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Applied Physics","volume":"22 1","pages":"43-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73162059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
