Assessment of Carbon Fibre (CF) and Carbon Nanotube (CNT) as Supercapacitor Electrode on Surface Activated Nickel Foam
Abstract: In present paper, an attempt has been made to compare the potential of two different carbon-based materials, Carbon Fibre (CF) and Carbon Nanotubes (CNT), as electrode materials. These two materials are compared against each other in terms of their dimensions, volume of deposition on Nickel foam and their performance under Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). It was observed that owing to the dimensions of the depositing material, CNT (nano-sized carbon) electrode reflected …

Three level Dashpot oil level monitoring system
Abstract: Nuclear reactors use free fall of control and safety rods (CSR) for a fast shutdown of the reactor in case of emergencies to prevent radioactive hazards. During the last 250mm of the total 1085mm of travel of the CSRs, there is a dashpot with oil to facilitate the smooth descent of the control rods. This oil prevents any shock to the system due to the sudden fall. Thus, there is …

Capability Database of Injection Molding Process—Requirements Study for Wider Suitability and Higher Accuracy
Abstract: AbstractGenerally, there is little disagreement that an early consideration of dimensional accuracies achieved in production is conducive to the success of development of injection molding products. While different process capability databases (PCDBs) provide guidance for a meaningful estimation of the expected part variation, the adoption of corresponding guidelines and (proprietary) software tools seems to be, however, limited in industrial practice so far. This research paper addresses the gap between the …

Role of Filler-Polymer Interface on the Thermal Conductivity in Polymer Composites
Abstract: Polymers with high thermal conductivity are the need of modern technologies due to their robustness, cost-effective, and less corrosiveness. However, bare polymers are not good heat-conductors due to their molecular structures, and their non-metallic properties. Therefore, metallic fillers of different shape and size have been used to enhance the thermal conductivity in polymer-composites. However, there has been search of best geometrical fillers which can maximize the thermal conductivity effectively with …
