Papers presented at the International Conference on Characterisation and Quality Control of Nuclear Fuels, held at Hyderabad in 2002.
This book comprises select proceedings of the International Conference on Design, Materials, Cryogenics and Constructions (ICDMC 2019). The chapters cover latest research in different areas of mechanical engineering such as additive manufacturing, automation in industry and agriculture, combustion and emission control, CFD, finite element analysis, and engineering design. The book also focuses on cryogenic systems and low-temperature materials for cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions to current challenges in the manufacturing sector. Given its contents, the book can be useful for students, academics, and practitioners.
The Deccan Plateau Covers The Region From The South Of The Vindhyas Up To The Krishna Tungabhadra Basin, Famous During The Eleventh To Eighteenth Centuries For Its Sculpture, History, And Especially For Its Importance In Diamond Mining, Cutting And Export. This Book Covers Its Role In The Cultural And Societal Advancement, In The Export Of Diamonds, Its Handlooms, Its Rich Biodiversity, Wildlife, Its Literature, Its Civilisation And Gold Exploration.
This book includes best selected, high-quality research papers presented at the International Conference on Intelligent Manufacturing and Energy Sustainability (ICIMES 2021) held at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Malla Reddy College of Engineering & Technology (MRCET), Maisammaguda, Hyderabad, India, during June 18-19, 2021. It covers topics in the areas of automation, manufacturing technology and energy sustainability and also includes original works in the intelligent systems, manufacturing, mechanical, electrical, aeronautical, materials, automobile, bioenergy and energy sustainability.
This book presents an overview of the science of superconducting materials. It covers the fundamentals and theories of superconductivity. Subjects of special interest involving mechanisms of high temperature superconductors, tunneling, transport properties, magnetic properties, critical states, vortex dynamics, etc. are present in the book. It assists as a fundamental resource on the developed methodologies and techniques involved in the synthesis, processing, and characterization of superconducting materials. The book covers numerous classes of superconducting materials including fullerenes, borides, pnictides or iron-based chalcogen superconductors ides, alloys and cuprate oxides. Their cr...
This is essentially a book which belongs to the genre of anthology of autobiographical narratives of some of the finest products of IIT Madras who have come together of their own accord, at the invitation of their former teacher, on the eve of his 80th birthday. Within its covers one can find situations of common occurrence and interest and different ways in which they are handled by different people. Their collective experiences have resulted in a cross-sectional view of current Indian society, looked at from different perspectives. They are presented in a semi- popular style which holds the attention of the readers riveted to these issues and their solutions. The presentation is fluid and conversational rather than serious and technical. As such it is bound to interest a large number of people who are engaged in various professions and belong to many different strata of Indian society.
Crustal evolution means the resultant changes that the Earth's crust has gone through in its geologic past affected by changes in the mantle-crust system, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the biosphere. Metallogeny is the genesis of metallic mineral deposits. Both the terms are used in the book in their conventional sense, but keeping in mind an Indian context. This book is the first of its kind to document in detail the nature, origin and evolution of mineral deposits in India and is contextualized in local, regional and global geology. The book is unique in that it combines both metallogeny and crustal evolution that were hitherto treated as stand-alone topics. The exhaustive chapters in the book carry detailed case studies of the distribution and occurrence of ores. The book would be useful to students of advanced geology, researchers, teachers, planners and global metallogeneticists around the world.
Materials in a nuclear environment are exposed to extreme conditions of radiation, temperature and/or corrosion, and in many cases the combination of these makes the material behavior very different from conventional materials. This is evident for the four major technological challenges the nuclear technology domain is facing currently: (i) long-term operation of existing Generation II nuclear power plants, (ii) the design of the next generation reactors (Generation IV), (iii) the construction of the ITER fusion reactor in Cadarache (France), (iv) and the intermediate and final disposal of nuclear waste. In order to address these challenges, engineers and designers need to know the propertie...
