THF also serves as a thermodynamic promoter for hydrate formation. The selection of suitable THF concentration in the aqueous solution remains a challenging task for the utilization of the THF hydrate. Present work focuses on the influence of non-stoichiometric solutions on THF hydrate growth. The THF hydrate was grown in polycrystalline form as a gross hydrate layer from the wall towards the center of a cylindrical reactor. Experiments were conducted at the three THF concentrations 19.06, 30, and 15 wt% at 276.15 K and atmospheric pressure. Transient imaging of the hydrate provided the hydrate thickness with time. Moreover, the chemical affinity model was used to analyze the hydrate formation kinetics. An increase in the concentration of the THF in bulk solution accelerated hydrate growth with time. We found that non-homogeneity in the THF hydrate front increased in the azimuthal direction if the concentration of THF in the THF-water solution deviated from stoichiometric concentration. A hypothesis was also proposed to explain the above observation. The non-homogeneity was qualitatively shown by binary images and mathematically quantified using the maximum to minimum hydrate thickness ratio. The chemical affinity model proved effective in describing hydrate growth kinetics.","PeriodicalId":21498,"journal":{"name":"Sādhanā","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261683","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}

First, the simulated buckling response of the T-shaped stiffened composite panel is verified with experimental results from the existing literature. Subsequently, straight and curvilinear I-shaped sub-stiffeners are introduced into the design of the T-shaped stiffened composite panel. The distribution and laminate stacking sequence of straight and curvilinear sub-stiffened composite panels are optimized to improve buckling performance while maintaining a constant weight constraint. Further, a parametric analysis was implemented to assess the influence of the sub-stiffener curvature on the buckling response of the curvilinear grid sub-stiffened composite panel. Results demonstrate that introducing straight and curvilinear grid sub-stiffeners into the T-shaped stiffened composite panel improves buckling performance. Specifically, the introduction of straight sub-stiffeners results in a remarkable improvement of up to 200% in buckling performance, while introducing curvilinear grid sub-stiffeners exhibits an even more noteworthy improvement of up to 260%, which shows the superior design of curvilinear grid sub-stiffeners when compared to straight sub-stiffeners. This investigation delivers valuable insights into the design of sub-stiffened composite panels for improving structural performance, offering significant advantages for industries such as aerospace that require lightweight structures yet are resistant to buckling.","PeriodicalId":21498,"journal":{"name":"Sādhanā","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261636","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}

HX alloys are employed in aerospace and nuclear industries, especially for high-temperature applications. In this research, a series of laser beam welding (LBW) experiments denoted as E1 to E9 were conducted on the HX base metal (BM), adhering to the L9-orthogonal array (L9-OA) design matrix. CO2 laser technology was employed to fabricate HX butt joints. The laser power, focal length and welding speed were the variables. Then, the character of each joint was analyzed by sophisticated testing methods as per ASTM standards. The results showed that the character of each sample was varied depending on the selection of parameters. The E5 sample had a maximum tensile strength (TS) and ductility with 93 % joint efficiency. The grain elongation and refinement in the weld zone (WZ) were confirmed through microstructures and electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD) studies. The corrosion character of each joint (E1 to E9) was analyzed using the potentiostatic polarization method. The E1 sample had the highest corrosion resistance. The corrosion rate was in the range of 7.4E−03 to 8.6E−05 mm/yr. The dry sliding wear test (A1 to A9) was carried out as per L9-OA on the E1 sample, since this weld parameter had good corrosion resistance, by varying applied load, sliding distances and sliding velocities. Wear test results showed an increase in wear rate with the increase in load and sliding distance. A wear map was also drawn using the results to find out the association between wear rates and wear parameters. Weld speed had influenced the strength of the joint and laser power had shown an impact on the corrosion and wear of the HX alloy joints. The weld zone, corroded sample and the worn-out surfaces of weld joints were further analyzed using an optical microscope (OM) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM).","PeriodicalId":21498,"journal":{"name":"Sādhanā","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261638","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 RCWPS, powered by a 180 W DC motor, utilized two lugged wheels for propulsion. Linear actuator-controlled dog clutch was connected with each wheel to discontinue the power supply while turning. The four-row seed metering unit comprised a seed metering plate with holes at 200 mm spacing, actuated by a solenoid. The diameter of the metering plate hole, operating speed, and speed of agitation were maintained at 11.18 mm, 0.84 km h−1, and 37 rpm, respectively. This comparative study assessed its performance and operational costs at 1/3rd and 2/3rd seed filling levels under puddled conditions, comparing it to a conventional drum seeder. At 2/3rd seed filling, RCWPS demonstrated 96% feed index quality, no multiple index, 4% missing index, 85.46% hill-distribution uniformity coefficient, and 72.45% seed dropping uniformity coefficient. Meanwhile, the values observed for drum seeder were 78.33%, 6.67%, 15%, 69.85%, and 60.94%, respectively. Similar results were observed at 1/3rd filling level. It showed better quality seed-dropping with RCWPS compared to the conventional drum seeder at all degrees of seed filling. The total cost for seeding per hectare of land with RCWPS and drum seeder were found to be 28.05 USD and 12.77 USD, respectively and the break-even point were found 0.54 ha year−1 and 0.038 ha year−1, respectively.","PeriodicalId":21498,"journal":{"name":"Sādhanā","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261640","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 present study emphasises on developing lightweight (1.8 kg) multi-rotor MR brake (MMRB). Finite element method magnetics (FEMM) software is utilized to determine the material required for a single-rotor MRB. FEMM material selection analysis is incorporated into the modeled MMRB, and the nature of magnetic flux density throughout the MR gap was obtained. Magnetic circuit analysis of the proposed brake is carried out to find torque estimation using analytical equations and Bingham plastic model. The proposed brake is fabricated and characterized using commercial MRF (132 DG, Lord Corporation). The study compares the torque outputs obtained experimentally with finite element analysis (FEA) and analytical approach. The average maximum magnetic flux density through FE analysis is found to be 0.45 T @ 3 A current. The average error between FE obtained and experimentally obtained torque output of the brake is around 5%. Further, an alternate design is proposed by utilizing same rotor diameter and number of electromagnetic coils. The new design is lighter in weight (0.8 kg) and exhibits enhancement in the torque output and torque to weight ratio by around 31% and 55%, respectively than the present design.","PeriodicalId":21498,"journal":{"name":"Sādhanā","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261641","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 developed tool traverses multiple stages, starting with reading the standard 3DM CAD files of an arbitrarily shaped geometry. It then extracts surface control points, organizes them to establish an outer structural framework, and employs Coons volume parameterization to generate internal control points based on user-defined specifications. We use the NURBS-Python library for reading 3DM files and the NURBS toolbox to visualize and evaluate NURBS functions in the constructed geometries.

As the blood flows through these arteries, the constituents of blood such as proteins and fatty acid molecules may start depositing on the arterial lining. These depositions narrow down the arteries and obstruct the blood flow to the heart. This phenomenon is termed as atherosclerosis, responsible for coronary artery disease, a leading cause of death globally. The progression of disease is affected by coronary hemodynamics which strongly depends on the geometrical complexities such as branching and tapering, and the associated parameters such as curvature and tortuosity. These geometrical parameters vary across the population and are affected by factors such as dietary habits, gender, lifestyle and genetics. Technological advancements in the past few decades have resulted in emergence of patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling as an important tool in cardiovascular engineering and technology. Patient-specific CFD modelling utilises the clinically obtained patient-specific geometrical and boundary condition data to model the flow and gain an insight in the detailed hemodynamic behaviour, calculate different parameters which can be used as biomarkers and assess different treatment options. In this article, we provide a brief overview of the human coronary circulation and typical steps involved in patient-specific modelling. Further, the studies on patient-specific coronary hemodynamics are extensively reviewed and a perspective on future trends is provided. We believe that the article will serve as a beginner’s guide for the researchers working in this emerging area.<h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":21498,"journal":{"name":"Sādhanā","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261646","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}
