Tribological Assessment of Chemically Modified Jatropha Curcas Oil Developed by Addition of Graphite Nanoparticles for Biolubricant Applications
Abstract: As an alternative to petroleum-based lubricants, environmentally friendly bio-based lubricants are gaining popularity in the lubrication industry. A sustainable bio-based lubricant, Jatropha Curcas Oil (JCO) incorporates nanoparticles as additives. Nevertheless, this oil cannot be used directly as a biolubricant due to its low oxidative stability. By redesigning the oil's molecular structure through chemical modification, this restriction can be overcome. Epoxidation and oxirane ringopening were the two steps used in this …

Design of Decoder Using Domino Logic Circuit for VLSI
Abstract: Dissipation of power from a circuit is the major issue in the design of any VLSI circuit, which decreases the life span of a device/system. NMOS and PMOS circuits are very slow while switching the state from low to high. The speed of the circuit can be increased by decreasing resistance. This process in turn increases the static power dissipation. So, because of these disadvantages, CMOS circuits are used in …

Proposal of System for High Efficiency Energy Extraction from LNG and Study of Use of EGR and SCR System in Ships
Abstract: The paper focuses on the green shipping methodologies and environment friendly practices. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is one of the most effective alternatives to traditional shipping fuels. Ports have LNG re-gasification systems, which generally use Open Rack Vaporizers (ORVs) to convert the LNG to NG. In this process, a lot of the ‘cold energy’ is lost. A proposal for a LNG re-gasification system has been made in this paper which …
