The dielectric relaxation studies are vital in analyzing the strength of the inter molecular interaction between the binary liquid systems [1-4]. Jyostna et al. [5] reported thermodynamic parameters of isoamyl alcohols and mono clinic aromatic liquid mixtures. Shakila et al. [6] studied the dielectric properties of aromatic alcohols and aliphatic amines at different temperatures. In general, dielectric relaxation time varies with the inter molecular forces acting between the molecules in the selected liquid mixtures. Brompheniramine is one of the critical compounds of an amine group with spectacular applications, including pharmaceutical industries [7]. Higher carbon chain length alcohols are having self associated and proton donating ability in the liquid mixtures. The variations in the dielectric constant (є’), dielectric loss (є’’), static dielectric constant (є0) and the dielectric constant at an optical frequency (є∞) with a range of brompheniramine concentrations with 1-butanol,1-pentanol and 1-hexanol systems are useful in the applied research and chemical industries. Moreover, the variations in the dielectric constant and dielectric relaxation time should be useful in the analysis of intermolecular interaction between the functional group of the selected liquid mixtures. This research work attempts to analyse the intermolecular interaction between the brompheniramine and 1-butanol,1-pentanol and 1-hexanol at 303K using time domain reflectometry techniques.

Polymer solid electrolytes PMMA(80,70,60,50): PC(10,20,30,40):PVP(10):LiClO4(5) were synthesized according to stoichiometric ratios using solution cast method. FTIR study confirms the good complexation among the constituent materials in the polymers matrix. Complex impedance and electric modulus studies are carried out and explained. From cole-cole plots, maximum decrement of resistance is observed at a threshold ratio 70Wt% PMMA: 20Wt% PC: 10Wt% PVP: 5Wt% LiClO4 and this could be due to the high mobility of the Li+ ion in the polymer network due to the plasticizer. The plasticizer plays an important role in decreasing the viscosity of the system, which in turn favors the mobility of segmental motion of polymer network and fast ion motion in the polymer. Real and Imaginary electric modulus spectra show the presence of relaxation peaks and confirm that the polymer solid electrolyte is an ionic conductor.

Activated carbons from Leucaena leucocephala Seed Shell left over were generated accompanied by 10% phosphoric acid solution in the N2 atmosphere by chemical activation and their characteristics were investigated. SEM, FTIR and XRD analysis were used to analyse the characteristics of the triggered preparations. Isothermal models, namely the Freundlich and Langmuir representations, were the equilibrium studies carried out.. The equilibrium adsorption result was better suited to the isotherm model of Langmuir and its maximum monolayer adsorption potential for acid blue was 70.67 mg/g. Adsorption kinetics studies have shown that the best fit is provided by the pseudo second-order dynamic model. An intraparticle dispersion model demonstrated that the dissemination of the intraparticle was not a step of rate control. Studies of thermodynamics have shown that the sorption mechanism is spontaneous and exothermic in nature. The findings suggest that the seed shells of Leucaena leucocephala may be used as a possible adsorbent for Acid blue1 adsorption.

The ethanol containing vertical storage column is typically a leak proof tank which is used to store the liquid and fine powder. To exploit the storing capability, these columns are generally precise high normally above 27meters with a circular cross section. The task arranged is that the agitator and the vertical pole are necessary to be on the equal podium. Due to this the pole is predisposed to vibrations from the Campaigner. This was needed to optimize the natural frequency of the column. Stiffeners /Support are fond of to the column plate to reinforce the column counter to pressure force, to minimize the vibrations of the plate and to become rigid plate against buckling. Stiffeners must be set apart at some suitable positioning so that plate stress is low than permissible stress. If column panel tallness or breadth is less than acceptable plate span then according to assumption column doesn’t requires stiffeners/support. Though if column lifted or handles in one piece then, some stiffening may be required to keep column shape. Rise the stiffness by growing stiffeners/supports leads to load increase so no actual variance in rate of recurrence. By reducing mass of column and that can be possible only by selecting proper material. The objective of entire effort is to design of the vertical column in such a way that the natural frequency of the column can be optimized. As number of supports (horizontal) are increasing the natural frequency of column is also increasing, but at same time weight is also increased. So in order to optimize design the weight of column provided by support must be reduced. After optimize the structure of support and carrying out pre stressed modal analysis the targeted natural frequencies (>16 Hz) is obtained in the structure.

This paper provides some considerations about the strategic role of engineering research to predict structural strength and avoid damage. Even in the case of defects or after a break, scientific research allows to understand the causes through Failure Analyses. This paper, after an in-depth examination and discussion of the causes of structural damage, reports an example of Failure Analysis of a component of a helicopter gearbox.

Barium bismuth titanate materials are noted for ferroelectric behavior, competitor to lead based relaxor dielectrics and even for coating having wear resistance, toughness for improving surface engineering applications. In the present context, a modified solid state process aided by agate-mortar activation for milling is carried in compare to mechanochemical milling, meltquench method to generate the complex ceramic structure. Molar ratio of BaO:Bi2O3:TiO2 1:2:4 ratio have been taken with fixed soaking temperature to develop the material. Activation milling period is varied for 20 hours, 25 hours and 30 hours while soaking period descends in the order 10 hours, 8 hours and 6 hours keeping fixed temperature of about 700°C. XRD confirms the presence of peaks for all cases. Crystallite size is estimated by Scherrers formula with proper planes of index corresponding to JCPDS data. FTIR confirmed the phases developed by XRD while indicating the proper M-O bond formation from analysis in the required spectral range.

There has been a continual upsurge on research pertaining to bio-based/ microbial healing of cracks in concrete (a pre-requisite component when it comes to construction design). Albeit, the application of bacteria in this realm has been documented widely over the years, howbeit, delving into fungus based self-healing under the deleterious ambience of concrete with oxygen and nutrient limitation, moisture deficit and high alkalinity has captured recent research impetus. In this context, we have tried to mine the current contextual information to gauge whether research on fungal-based self-healing concrete could be worthwhile. Recent systematic screening encompassing the application of genetically engineered strains, attests the profound untapped potential of specific fungal species in assisting sustainable self-healing to ensure resilient infrastructure. Known for their adaptability under a plethora of environmental stress-conditions and architecturally endowed with large surface-active biomass, fungi can display both biomineralization and organomineralization, leading to rapid and profuse precipitation of CaCO3 (a befitting concrete-filler) for prospective sealing of cracks, even of large width, plausibly without any negative trade-off with respect to concrete’s strength. This article is thus compiled to mirror the various prospects, practical hitches and future direction of research in using fungi for concrete crack healing.
