Identification of significant parameters for the production of Jatropha biodiesel using preliminary experimentation
Abstract: The current research work is on Jatropha biodiesel for finding the significant parameters in optimum biodiesel yield. The one factor at a time approach is applied in the esterification. The trans-esterification reaction is used by mixing of Jatropha oil and ethanol in the presence of catalyst KOH. After some time two products are formed a Jatropha biodiesel and a glycerin. The density of glycerin is more as compared to biodiesel. …

Wettability of carbon fibers with resin matrices from dynamic contact angle measurements
Abstract: Wettability is the property that quantifies the propensity of a solid surface (carbon fiber) to be covered by a liquid (resin). For a wettable solid, the solid-liquid contact is favoured and as a result the liquid spreads on such surface of the solid. Spreading of the liquid on the solid surface is primarily driven by the adhesive forces between the liquid and the solid, while the inter molecular cohesive forces …

One-Step Fabrication of Superomniphobic Pvdf-HFPSiO2Membrane for Long-Term CO2 Absorption inMembrane Gas Absorption System
Abstract: Membrane pore wetting is one of the major challenges for membrane gas absorption, especially when low surface tension liquid absorbents such as amine absorbents are utilized. To minimize diffusion resistance across the membrane, maintaining a non-wetted operating mode in membrane gas absorption is crucial. In this study, a superomniphobic polyvinylidene fluoride-cohexafluoropropylene membrane was fabricated by adding silica nanoparticles (SiO2) in an ethanol coagulation bath through non-solvent-induced phase separation. The surface …
