Effects of Carbon Fiber on Strength of Concrete
Abstract: Experimental investigations were carried out to evaluate the effect of carbon fibers on strength of concrete. The concrete mix of M-25 grade was considered and produced by replacing carbon fibers with cement. Modified concrete is produced by adding carbon fibers with various percentages as 0 to 0.6% at an interval of 0.2% with 10 and 20 mm in length. The compressive and flexural strengths are considered for investigations. Cube of …

Efficiency Measurement of Solar PV Panels
Abstract: With increasing awareness and technology developments, we strive to achieve a greener approach to energy production. Solar panels that use PV cells are popular for converting solar power into electricity. One of the problems in using PV cells to extract energy from sunlight is the temperature effect on PV cells. As the solar panel is heated, the conversion efficiency of light to electrical energy is diminished. Because solar panels can …

Synthesis, Characterization and Deformation Studies of Blast Furnace Slag Particles Reinforced Aa2024 Composite
Abstract: The main objective is to explore the use of blast furnace slag as a reinforcing material. This work provides results of aluminum metal matrix composites reinforced with granulated slag (GS). The Composite is prepared by taking AA 2024 and GS with stir casting process. Optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy were employed to track the reactions between the aluminum matrix and the granulated slag during the sintering treatment. The hardness …

Effects of Weight Fractions on Properties of Aluminium-Fly Ash Metal Matrix Composites
Abstract: With particles of fly ash as the particulate addition, the properties of pure Al can be greatly improved. The incorporation of fly ash brings significant changes in some of its core properties like hardness, density, stiffness, strength, wear resistance. A comparison of the mechanical properties of pure Al have been done with three sets of Al-fly ash composites containing 6, 8 and 10% by weight fly ash which are manufactured …

Fabrication of the SU-8 based Glass Microfluidic Devices to Record the Surface-Driven Capillary Flow of Water
Abstract: Total 12 individual leakage-free SU-8 based glass microfluidic devices are fabricated by the maskless lithography and indirect bonding technique. The surface-driven capillary flow of dyed water is successfully recorded inside these microfluidic devices. Total 12 individual audio video interleave files as ‘FileName.avi’ are recorded and analyzed in this research paper. This study may be useful for different microfluidic applications.
