Research on Turbine Volute design using CFX
Abstract: Volute is centrifugal part or basically it is a casing of turbine, centrifugal pump and turbo chargers. It is the most important component of turbine which converts velocity into pressure by the help of blades. It has a funnel type shape, with increasing diameter with curved shape. It receives fluid from the impeller and maintaining its velocity to the diffuser. While converting the fluids velocity into kinetic energy there are …

Fructifying of Electricity Utilizing Wind Leaf –PV Combination Model
Abstract: Abstract—In recent days renewable energies are used to produce electricity which is available at no cost. In this project wind and solar energy are used to fructify electricity with the assistance of aero leaves and solar panels. Few aero leaves are structured in the form of a tree, for producing high power. This tree uses tiny blades which are inbuilt with the aero leaves to produce electricity from wind energy. …

The Effect of Vitamin C on the Reproductive Functions of Paraquat Intoxicated Male Albino Rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Abstract: Paraquat (PQ) is a bipyridylium herbicide applied around trees in Orchids and between crop rows to control broad-leaved and grassy weeds. Its oxidation results in the formation of superoxides and supernitrite species which causes damage to cellular components. Studies have implicated PQ as one of the pesticides that contributes to the reduction in male reproductive functions in humans and animals during exposure. This study, therefore, determined the antioxidant effect vitamin …

Enhanced Room-Temperature Gas Sensing Performance of 2% Mn-Doped Sri Lankan Natural Graphite Thin-Film Sensors for Ammonia, Acetone, and Ethanol vapors Detection
Abstract: The development of room-temperature gas sensors with high sensitivity, fast response, and low-cost remains a critical challenge for environmental monitoring and safety applications. In this work, we report the fabrication and characterization of a 2% Mn-doped Sri Lankan natural graphite thin-film sensor for the detection of ammonia (NH3), ethanol (C2H5OH), and acetone (C3H6O) vapors under ambient conditions. The sensor was prepared using the doctor-blade coating method on Indium Tin Oxide …

Development of Multilayer Metallic Coatings with Graded Interfaces for Enhanced Wear and Fatigue Resistance in Aerospace Components
Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the development and characterization of multilayer metallic coating systems with compositionally graded interfaces, specifically engineered to enhance wear and fatigue resistance in aerospace structural and rotating components. Four coating architectures were systematically designed: (i) CrN/TiAlN bilayer, (ii) TiN/TiAlN/TiAlSiN gradient trilayer, (iii) CrAlN/AlCrN nanolaminate, and (iv) a novel five-layer CrN–TiN–TiAlN–AlCrN–TiAlSiN functionally graded system (FGS). Coatings were deposited via high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) and …
