Performance study on basin type double slope solar still with different wick materials and minimum mass of water

Solar still is one of the best solutions to solve water problem in remote arid areas. This device is not popular because of its lower productivity. One of the methods to increase the productivity is by decrease the volumetric heat capacity of the basin. A layer of water with wick material in the basin will increase the evaporation area and enhance the production.A basin type double slope solar still with mild steel plate was fabricated and tested with minimum mass of water and different wick materials like light cotton cloth, sponge sheet, coir mate and waste cotton pieces in the basin. Still with aluminium rectangular fin arranged in different configurations and covered with different wicks were also tested. It was found that, the still with light black cotton cloth is the effective wick material. The still with rectangular Aluminium fin covered with cotton cloth and arranged in length wise direction was more effective.The still was theoretically modeled. The variation in transmittance of the cover was considered in the proposed model. The total radiation on the covers was taken as input. Theoretical values of water and glass temperatures using proposed model were compared with theoretical values obtained by Dunkle model and actual experimental values. It was found that the theoretical production rate using the proposed model were close to the experimental.     

Variable thermal loading analysis on (111) plane of single crystal gold

The temperature response on the properties of single crystal gold (111) plane at elevated temperatures was considered in this work. The ability to perform nanoindentation experiments at elevated temperatures opens up significant new possibilities in nanotechnology. The experiments are performed at various temperatures of 373 K, 473 K and 573 K with tailor made Berkovitch tip of radius 100 nm to study the behavior of single crystal gold. The new phenomenon of material bouncing back under the indenter at the end of unloading was clearly noted, due to the accumulation of high energy. The results for different temperatures were compared. Our experiments clearly show the onset of the first burst of dislocation glide, which is indicated by a sudden increase of displacement with no increase of loading, the onset of plastic deformation in connection with the periodic bursts, and the strain hardening, softening and release effects. Pile up was also observed. The complete elastic range was found. There was significant drop in the hardness, elastic modulus and the increase in depth with increasing temperature. The elastic recovery was reduced at higher temperatures.     

Interface Control of Ferroelectricity in an SrRuO3/BaTiO3/SrRuO3 Capacitor and its Critical Thickness

The atomic‐scale synthesis of artificial oxide heterostructures offers new opportunities to create novel states that do not occur in nature. The main challenge related to synthesizing these structures is obtaining atomically sharp interfaces with designed termination sequences. In this study, it is demonstrated that the oxygen pressure during growth plays an important role in controlling the interfacial terminations of SrRuO₃/BaTiO₃/SrRuO₃ (SRO/BTO/SRO) ferroelectric (FE) capacitors. The SRO/BTO/SRO heterostructures are grown by a pulsed laser deposition method. The top SRO/BTO interface, grown at high (around 150 mTorr), usually exhibits a mixture of RuO₂–BaO and SrO–TiO₂ terminations. By reducing , the authors obtain atomically sharp SRO/BTO top interfaces with uniform SrO–TiO₂ termination. Using capacitor devices with symmetric and uniform interfacial termination, it is demonstrated for the first time that the FE critical thickness can reach the theoretical limit of 3.5 unit cells.     

Single basin double slope solar still with minimum basin depth and energy storing materials

Solar still is a simple device which can convert available waste or brackish water into potable water using solar energy. A single basin double slope solar still with an inner basin size 2.08 m × 0.84 m × 0.075 m and that of the outer basin size 2.3 m × 1 m × 0.25 m has been fabricated with mild steel plate and tested with a layer of water and different sensible heat storage materials like quartzite rock, red brick pieces, cement concrete pieces, washed stones and iron scraps. It is found that, the still with ¾ in. sized quartzite rock is the effective basin material. The still is theoretically modeled. In previous researcher’s work, variation in transmittance is taken as constant. The variations in solar incidence angle and transmittance of the covers are also considered in this work. The theoretical values are compared with actual values. The theoretical water and glass temperatures and the theoretical production rate are having higher deviation with actual. Hence, another thermal model developed for this still is applied to validate the results accurately. It is found that, the theoretical production rate using thermal model agrees well with experimental.     

Progresses in improving the effectiveness of the single basin passive solar still

Single basin solar still is a very simple solar device used for converting available brackish or waste water into potable water. This device can be fabricated easily with locally available materials. The maintenance is also cheap and no skilled labor is required. This device can be a suitable solution to solve drinking water problem. Because of its low productivity it is not popularly used. Numbers of works are undertaken to improve the productivity of the still. In this work progresses in the works done on single basin passive types still to improve its productivity are reviewed. The orientation and inclination are optimized to receive maximum radiation and lower the condensation loss. Different materials are used in the basin along with water to improve the heat capacity, radiation absorption capacity and enhance the evaporation rate. Rubber is the best basin material to improve absorption, storage and evaporation effects. The effect of varying the depth of the basin water is also studied.     

Studies on various divalent metal complexes of poly(2-hydroxy-4-acryloyloxybenzophenone) in aqueous medium

2-Hydroxy-4-acryloyloxybenzophenone (2H4ABP) prepared by reacting acryloyl chloride with 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, was polymerized in 2-butanone at 65°C using benzoyl peroxide as initiator. Polychelates were obtained in the alkaline solution of poly(2H4ABP) with aqueous solutions of metal ions such as Ni(II), Mn(II), Co(II), Ca(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II). The polymer and polychelates were characterized by elemental analyses and spectral studies. Elemental analyses of the polychelates suggest that the metal-to-ligand ratio is 1: 2. The IR spectral data of the polychelates indicate that the metals were coordinated through the oxygen of the keto group and oxygen of the phenolic −OH group. The diffuse reflectance spectra, EPR and magnetic moments studies reveal that the polychelates of Cu(II) complex are square planar, and Ni(II), Mn(II) and Co(II) complexes are octahedral, while Ca(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes are tetrahedral. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the polychelates are highly crystalline. The thermal and electrical properties of polymer and polymer–metal complexes are discussed. © 1998 SCI.     

Synthesis and spectral,thermal, and photocrosslinking studies of poly(benzylidene phosphoramide ester)s

A new class of poly(benzylidene phosphoramide ester)s containing a photoreactive benzylidene chromophore in the main chain were synthesized from bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxy benzylidene) acetone with various substituted N-aryl phosphoramidic dichlorides by an interfacial polycondensation technique. The synthesized polymers were characterized by inherent viscosity, IR, and ¹H-, ¹³C-, and ³¹P-NMR spectroscopy. The molecular weights of these polymers were determined by gel permeation chromatography. These polymers were studied for their thermal stability and photochemical properties. Thermal properties were evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that halogen-containing polymers show a higher thermal stability than that of nonhalogenated polymers. The photocrosslinking property of these polymers was studied by ultraviolet spectroscopy. The photoreactive benzylidene chromophore in the main chain dimerizes via 2π + 2π cycloaddition reaction to form a cyclobutane derivative and leads to crosslinking. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Compositional Control as the Key for Achieving Highly Efficient OER Electrocatalysis with Cobalt Phosphates Decorated Nanocarbon Florets

Compositional interplay of two different cobalt phosphates (Co(H₂PO₄)₂; Co‐DP and Co(PO₃)₂; Co‐MP) loaded on morphologically engineered high surface area nanocarbon leads to an increased electrocatalytic efficiency for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in near neutral conditions. This is reflected as significant reduction in the onset overpotential (301 mV) and enhanced current density (30 mA cm^?2 @ 577 mV). In order to achieve uniform surface loading, organic‐soluble thermolabile cobalt‐bis(di‐tert‐butylphosphate) is synthesized in situ inside the nanocarbon matrix and subsequently pyrolyzed at 150 °C to produce Co(H₂PO₄)₂/Co(PO₃)₂ (80:20 wt%). Annealing this sample at 200 or 250 °C results in the redistribution of the two phosphate systems to 55:45 or 20:80 (wt%), respectively. Detailed electrochemical measurements clearly establish that the 55:45 (wt%) sample prepared at 200 °C performs the best as a catalyst, owing to a relay mechanism that enhances the kinetics of the 4e^? transfer OER process, which is substantiated by micro‐Raman spectroscopic studies. It is also unraveled that the engineered nanocarbon support simultaneously enhances the interfacial charge‐transfer pathway, resulting in the reduction of onset overpotential, compared to earlier investigated cobalt phosphate systems.
