Vegetable oils with nanotechnology added to them are a possible replacement for mineral oils in power transformer applications today. Because of the size and production cost reductions as well as the oil's high level of biodegradability, this could result in an increase in the dielectric strength of insulating fluid. Since transformers are mainly used for outdoor applications, understanding the capability of insulating fluid to withstand lightning discharge is a vital issue. This study used experimental analysis to compare the lightning discharge performance of pure sunflower oil and sunflower oil modified with SiO2 (Nano) at various weight-per-volume concentrations of 0.01 %, 0.05 %, and 0.1 %. This experimental work was conducted with 1.2/50 µs of standard lightning impulse voltage with positive polarity. The result illustrated that the nano-modified sunflower oil had greater lightning impulse withstand strength than the pure sunflower oil.

The study provides an understanding about lightning impulse characteristics of mineral oil used in transformers and other high voltage applications. The withstand capabilities of mineral oil is studied under different experimental conditions such as varying electrode gap distance, electrode type, type of nanofiller and concentration of fillers. Experiments are conducted for electrode gaps of 5mm and 10mm. Different electrode configurations such as needle sphere and needle plane electrodes are used. Nanofillers such as SiO2 and Carbon Quantum Dots treated SiO2 nanoparticles are used in various concentrations such as 0.01%wt. 0.05%wt and 0.1%wt of mineral oil. Comparison is done for positive and negative polarities of lightning impulse test voltages. Experimental results are shown to understand the influence of nanoparticles to deliver better results in impulse withstand capabilities of commercially used mineral oil with improved performance in lightning impulse withstand strength.

An avoltammetric 1, 2-dihydroxy benzeneassay regarding the utilization of a glassy/translucent carbon electrode (GCE) customized with a grapheme oxide and polycyanurotramine (GO/PM) composition is described. Field fluorescence, SEM, FTIR elemental composition, Raman spectroscope, were used to analyze the enhanced GCE. When comparing conductors adjusted with GO or PM alone, electrochemistry demonstrates a well-defined sensitivity to 1,2-dihydroxy benzene, with an oxidationpeak present that is much higher. The composite's simultaneous synergistically action of GO and PM resulting in a decreased oxidation potential. In the detection limit of 0.03 to 138 M 1, 2-dihydroxy benzene, differentiating pulse voltammetry (DPV) displays a constant value. The sensibility is 0.537 A M1cm2 and the detection limit is 8 nM. Though in the context of theoretically contaminants notably dopamine, hydroquinone, resorcinol and the detector is discriminating for 1, 2-dihydroxybenzene. The modified GCE for detecting 1, 2-dihydroxy benzene in samples collected is extremely repeatable, durable, and accurate, and it has great applicability.
本文描述了一种利用氧化石墨烯和多氰尿胺(GO/PM)组合物定制的玻璃/半透明碳电极(GCE)的1,2 -二羟基苯的伏安法测定。利用场荧光、SEM、FTIR元素组成、拉曼光谱等对增强GCE进行分析。当比较单独使用氧化石墨烯或PM调整的导体时,电化学表明对1,2-二羟基苯具有明确的敏感性,并且存在更高的氧化峰。复合材料的同时协同作用的氧化石墨烯和PM导致氧化电位降低。在1,2-二羟基苯的检出限为0.03 ~ 138 M时,差分脉冲伏安法(DPV)呈恒定值。灵敏度为0.537 A M1cm2,检出限为8 nM。虽然在理论上污染物的背景下,特别是多巴胺,对苯二酚,间苯二酚和检测器是区分1,2 -二羟基苯。改进的GCE用于样品中1,2 -二羟基苯的检测具有重复性好、耐用性好、准确度高的特点,具有很强的适用性。

Green synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles is extremely developing methodology because of its bio compatibility nature. In the present work, iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were synthesized by simple Co-precipitation method with the use of Commiphora berryi plant exudates. The formed iron oxide nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM techniques. Photocatalytic activity of synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles was determined against Methylene blue (MB) dye in aqueous medium. Iron oxide nanoparticles acted as a photocatalyst and decompose the dye under solar irradiation. Results show that 73 % of degradation efficiency was attained after 150 minutes with a nanoparticle dosage 0.5 mg/L which makes the IONPs as potential applicant for various effluent treatment methods. Further the results indicate that the efficiency increases with increasing pH and decrease with increasing the MB dye dosage. Antimicrobial activity of IONPS was studied against E.coli and S. aureus. IONPs show excellent antibacterial activity for both the organisms; with 16.5 mm and 16.75 mm zone of inhibition respectively for E.coli and S. aureus.

The recycling of waste plastics by thermal and catalytic degradation processes can be an important source of producing alternative fuel oil from the view point of an economical aspect and contributing to the environmental protection from the view point of an environmental aspect. In this work pyrolysis of Polystyrene (PS) was carried out with bentonite as a catalyst at temperature between 380 to 420 °C to explore its effect on pyrolysis product distribution. Three fractions of products were obtained: Pyrolysis oil (55 wt %), pyro gas (10 wt %) and char (34 wt %). The presences of catalyst produces light oil as well as increase in yields of liquid and gas fractions as the temperature increases were reported.

A matrix having conducting, magnetic and dielectric filler, due to their unique attenuation and electrical properties have shown their potential application in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. However, the difficulties of reflection of microwave are yet to be overcome. Recently, exfoliated graphite along with iron oxide and fly ash found to a better alternate to the conventional shielding materials. Conductivity of composites lies in the range 0.013"14.57 S/cm. The microwave absorption properties of the composites have been studied in the 8.2-12.4 GHz (X”Band) frequency range which shows a shielding effectiveness up-to 59.83 dB, which strongly depends on dielectric loss and weight fraction of fly ash and γ-Fe2O3 in EG matrix.

In recent years a big spurt has been observed in the usage and applications of Surface Acoustic Wave(SAW) devices as sensors not only for the detection of physical and chemical quantities but also as environmental biosensors for detecting volatiles, toxic agents, explosives and narcotics. The design of such sensors assumes importance as the technology enables reproducibility, reliability, portability and cost-effective sensing in real time. This paper presents the frequency response of a 300 MHz ST-Quartz SAW delay line device fabricated with uniform IDTs. Based on the first order Impulse response model and employing a unique custom made MATLAB algorithm, the device is accurately modelled. The results obtained are analyzed to ultimately help in the effective design, development and modelling of such devices as application specific sensors. Comparison of modelled and simulated results with experimental device response shows good agreement.

The study pertains to the characterization of Meerut, Muzaffarnagar and Saharanpur district of western Uttar Pradesh in terms of soil, climate and land use. Based on soil and climate, homogeneous agro-ecological units were developed for these regions and the agri-technical possibilities of improving the productivity of major crops were studied. For land use, IIRS-1D LISS III and IRS P6 LISS III of both rabi and kharif season of 1998 and 2008 were used and the homogenous units were developed by using ArcGIS. Seventy eight agro-ecological units were identified. Satellite data shows an overall 5.31% decrease in double cropped area with increase in permanent fallow by 2.57% . Shift of land from agricultural to non-agricultural uses were 4.41% in which conversion of agricultural land to built-up areas has been estimated as 2.89 per cent. The yield gaps (potential-current) of rice, wheat, maize and sugarcane for each agro-ecological units (AAU) were calculated. Water and NPK fertilizer requirement for bridging these gaps were estimated.
