Improving Photocatalytic and Antibacterial Properties of Zein/Polyvinyl Alcohol Polymer Composite Film by Dispersing TiO2 Nano Particles
Abstract: Zein/polyvinyl alcohol/nano-TiO2 composite film was effectively blended using a solution casting method. Mechanical, photocatalytic, and antibacterial properties of the composite film were evaluated. The breaking elongation of the composite film increased up to the maximum loading of 0.4% of nano-TiO2. The humidity and moisture content relationship was estimated with standard modified models of Halsey, Oswin, Chung Pfost, and Henderson. It was found that the Halsey model was the most suitable …

Improvement of Indirect Vector Control Induction Motor Drive Performance under Low Speed Operation using Five-Level Inverter
Abstract: The dynamic performance of vector controlled induction motor drive is poor and peak motor torque decreases under low speed operation. This reduction in torque is due to the non-linearity of voltage to frequency (Hz) during low frequency operation. The non-linearity is caused by stator voltage drop which in turn requires a larger percentage of overall terminal voltage. To overcome these problems multilevel inverter fed induction motor drive is presented in …
