A Review of Modifications of Cement Slurry Formulations for Carbon Dioxide Storage
Abstract: Climate action, which includes activities aimed at mitigating climate change or reducing its adverse impacts, is the thirteenth goal of the 2030 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). Tthe successful commercial deployment of CCS technology would heavily rely on the integrity of the cement sheath used to complete the wellbores at the CO₂ storage sites. It has been established that the cement sheath made from conventional ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is not …

Electroactive Graphene–Polymer Nanocomposites for Self-Sustaining and Multifunctional Flexible Devices
Abstract: Graphene–reinforced polymer–composites were developed and systematically investigated to explore their multifunctionality in flexible electronic applications. The study specifically aims to correlate graphene-induced structure–property–function relationships with electroactive performance and self-sustaining behaviour in flexible devices. The hybridization of electroactive polymers—polyaniline (PANI), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulphonate (PEDOT:PSS), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)—with graphene nanoplatelets enabled simultaneous enhancement of electroactivity, energy-harvesting, and sensing functionalities. Morphological studies confirmed uniform graphene dispersion at 5 wt.% loading, forming continuous …

Influence of Epoxy-Based Thermally Conductive Polymer Composites on the Thermo-Hydraulic Performance of Finned Helical Coil Heat Exchangers Across Flow Regimes
Abstract: The use of polymer composites in heat exchanger applications has gained increasing attention due to their advantages in weight reduction, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility. However, their relatively low thermal conductivity compared to conventional metallic materials remains a key limitation for efficient heat transfer. In this study, the thermo-hydraulic performance of a finned helical coil heat exchanger is investigated with particular focus on epoxy-based polymer composites reinforced with thermally conductive …

Alcid Bamboo
Abstract: AbstractNatural bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants, with maturity cycle of 3–4 year, thus making highly attractive natural renewable resource compared to hardwood. This bamboo can replace timber in many applications, but their mechanical property differs with species, age, climatic factor, moisture content and different height of culm. Due to this the natural bamboo can be replaced by synthetic one which are man-made and also known as engineered …

Development of Intermittent Gas Lift Optimum Time Module Using Automatic Pneumatic System
Abstract: Artificial lift technique is used to bring hydrocarbons to the surface when they cannot come to the surface on their own. Gas lift is an artificial lift technique which is classified into continuous and intermittent gas lifts. Continuous gas lift is used when the hydrocarbon fills into the wellbore continuously but is not able to come to the surface while intermittent gas lift is used when the fluid flow into …

Reduction of Submerged Mark Defects in Injection Molding Method
Abstract: Because of overwhelming interest in plastic items, plastic businesses are developing in a speediest rate. Plastic infusion forming starts with shape making and in assembling of complex shapes. Ideal setting up of infusion forming process factors assumes an imperative part in controlling the nature of the infusion shaped items. It is all the most critical to control property abandons like sink marks. Sink marks are fundamentally a "planned in" issue …

Evaluation of J-Integral and Fatigue Crack Growth Rate of Semi-elliptical Crack in Compressor Blade
Abstract: Gas turbine compressor blades are subjected to centrifugal, gas bending and vibratory loads. This repeated loading and unloading can reduce the life of compressor blades. This research aims at the estimation of fatigue crack growth rate of various three-dimensional cracks in a compressor blade considering the J-integral calculations for a semi-elliptical crack, subjected to centrifugal loading. Static stress analysis was carried out to ascertain the critical region or crack zone …

A Study to Find the Relation Between School Bag Weight and Musculoskeletal Discomfort in School Going Children
Abstract: Background: School bags are one of the several forms of manual load carriage used by school children. Carrying school bags that exceed 10% of body weight can lead to heightened energy expenditure, causing increased forward lean of the neck and trunk, reduced lung capacity, and elevated cardio-respiratory measures. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are characterized by injuries or disorders affecting muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, or spinal discs, as diagnosed by healthcare providers, …

Polymer Composite-Integrated Food Waste Management Across the Supply Chain: Quantification, Process Modelling, and Techno-Economic Valorization
Abstract: Food waste produced throughout the global food supply chain constitutes one of the most impactful forms of inefficiency within the current food production system, producing roughly 931 million tons per year and resulting in economic losses above $1 trillion worldwide each year. One aspect that has not been sufficiently studied systematically is how polymer composite materials, such as membrane separation systems, polymer-coated extraction equipment, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) biorefinery infrastructure, and …
