Fabrication and Parametric Analysis of Thermal Sensing Dielectric PZT Thick Film Nano Ceramic Device Developed by SOL GEL Technique
Abstract: AbstractExtensive investigation carried out during earlier half of twentieth century, prominently established that the ionic radius of an atom gets reduced to significant levels with decrease in coordination number. The findings of Goldsmith and Pauling showed that ionic radii contracts by 4, 6 and 12% when coordination number is reduced from 12 to 8, 6 and 4 respectively. It is obvious that coordination number reduction takes place at the surface …

Aerofoil Profile Analysis and Design Optimisation
Abstract: The aerofoil section is the incarnation of a wing or a lifting surface which is very important in an airplane wing design. While the shape of the aerofoil changes, their aerodynamic characteristics also change. This paper deals with a standard symmetrical aerofoil as reference and the effect of changes in shape due to minor variations in the coordinates. Eight new aerofoil shapes have been produced in this optimisation process. The …
