The Electromagnetic Transients in Mixed Power Networks with Partial Undergrounding
Abstract: This paper deals with the electromagnetic transients in partially undergrounded mixed high voltage power networks. These networks can include several cable sections replacing parts of the overhead transmission lines. The analysis yields the transient voltage and current distributions along the normal and the partially undergrounded lines. Moreover, the results can indicate eventually existing localized voltage and current concentrations within the network. The study suggests an exact direct analytical distributed parameter …

The Transient Response and Frequency Characteristics of Power Transformers having Non-uniform Winding Insulation
Abstract: This paper presents a Laplace-domain distributed-parameter technique for analyzing the transient and frequency response of power transformers having non-uniform winding insulation. Stronger winding insulation near the windings source side terminals is usually applied in order to mitigate the concentration of the transient voltage stresses close to these locations. This will result in a location-dependent inter-turn capacitance distribution. The suggested procedure for analyzing such windings is based on the cascade connection …

Model to Predict the Non-Competitive Inhibition of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Degradation
Abstract: This investigation involves the development of model to predict the non-competitive inhibition of petroleum hydrocarbon degradation. The result of the model shows the relation between the substrates concentration (hydrocarbon) with time. It was observed that at a very small rate the substrate decrease upon the act of the inhibitor. The non-inhibitor is such that it influences the growth rate of the enzymes substrate formation but attacking not necessarily the active …

Development and Optimization of Cold Rolled Slitting Machine Process
Abstract: Slitting machine is now widely used for dividing a wide strip into a plurality of narrow strips or for trimming the unnecessary or unacceptable edge portion of relatively wide sheet metal stock. In some cold rolling slitting machine a problem has been found that the camber is formed at the time of cutting. When the strip passes through skin pass operation, burr is formed due to friction which will result …

An Evolution on Kishangarh Style of Painting in Rajasthani Miniature Painting
Abstract: Indian paintings can be broadly classified as murals and miniatures. Murals are large works executed on the walls of solid structures, as in the Ajanta Caves and the Kailashnath temple. Miniature paintings are executed on a very small scale for books or albums on perishable material such as paper and cloth. The Palas of Bengal were the pioneers of miniature painting in India. The art of miniature painting reached its …
