Misalignment is a common issue in wireless power transfer systems. It shifts the resonant frequency away from operating that affects flow and efficiency charging station to load. This work proposes novel capacitive (CPT) using an 8-plate multi-resonant coupling minimize effect of misalignments. A single-active switch class-E2 converter utilized achieve multi-resonance through selection differen...

The Prabhakar fractional derivative model is not studied in the open literature for Casson fluid when vertical plate exhibits linear and quadratic translations with constant heating. Therefore, this study deals thermal transport of sodium alginate (C 6 H 9 NaO 7 ) over a temperature. Since classical PDEs are incapable analyzing investigating physical impact flow variables memory effects, develo...

This study provides a step-by-step, up-to-date fuel cell fundamentals, thermodynamic and electrochemical principles, system evaluation factors via case of 10-kW alkaline designed to operate in space applications. The also produces 100 kg pure water 5.5 kW heat. is modelled using MATLAB ANSYS Fluent. Then, the model verified with theoretical experimental results from literature. A parametric var...

A lotus leaf retains water repellency after repeated condensation in nature but becomes sticky to water drops after condensation on a fixed cold plate. Our experiments show that mechanical vibration can be used to overcome the energy barrier for transition from the sticky Wenzel state to the nonsticking Cassie state, and the threshold for the dewetting transition follows a scaling law comparing...

Nickel oxide thin film of various preferred orientations was deposited using sol-gel method using solvents including methanol. The resulting film was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle measurement, and ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV-vis). Antibacterial activities of nickel oxide-based film against gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) has...

Pseudomonas sp. JHN decolourized and biotransformed 4-chloro-2-nitrophenol (4C2NP) in the presence of additional carbon source. The effect of the various concentrations of the 4C2NP was studied on the decolourization of 4C2NP by Pseudomonas sp. JHN. It was observed that strain JHN decolourized and biotransformed 4C2NP up to concentration of 0.6 mM. Gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass...

A new crystal form of penicillin acylase (penicillin amidohydrolase, E.C. 3.5.1.11) from Escherichia coli W (ATCC 11105) is reported. The crystals were grown using a combination of hanging-drop and streak-seeding methods. The crystals are in the monoclinic space group P2(1) with cell dimensions a = 51.52, b = 131.95, c = 64.43 A, beta = 106.12 degrees. There is one heterodimer in the asymmetric...

Advances in experimental, high-speed techniques can be used to explore the processes occurring within energetic materials. This review describes techniques used to study a wide range of processes: hot-spot formation, ignition thresholds, deflagration, sensitivity and finally the detonation process. As this is a wide field the focus will be on small-scale experiments and quantitative studies. It...
