Effect of CuO/water nanofluid in the enhancement of convective heat transfer for electronic cooling

Selvakumar P., Suresh S., National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, IN

In this work CuO nanoparticles are synthesized using sol gel technique and water based nano fluids of two different volume concentrations are prepared. Thermal conductivity and viscosity are measured. A copper heat sink having rectangular [...]

Voltage Control Of A 3-Ø Self – Excited Induction Generators Using TSC (Thyristor Switched Capacitance)

Kumar A., Chaubey A., Infosys Limited, IN

An induction generator requires reactive power to set up and sustain magnetization and hence generates power. In grid connected induction generators this requirement is met by the grid, which unnecessarily burdens the grid and in [...]

MIM Capacitors with stacked dielectrics

Gopalakrishnan H., Kailath B.J., Indian Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing, Kancheepuram, IN

In this work, the characteristics of MIM capacitors with stacked dielectrics are being compared with that with single dielectrics. (100) p-type silicon wafers with resistivity in the range 0.1-0.2 Ωcm have been used as substrate. [...]

Suppression of Variability in Metal Source/Drain SOI MOSFET with Partial Buried Oxide and δ-doping

Patil G.C., Qureshi S., Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, IN

Recently, metal source/drain (S/D) dopant-segregated Schottky barrier (DSSB) SOI MOSFET has attracted the attention of researchers due to its planar structure, CMOS compatibility and reduced S/D series resistance at thin SOI film. However, employing dopant-segregation [...]

Investigation of Frequency Dependent Noise Performance Metrices for Gate Electrode Work function Engineered Recessed Channel MOSFET

Agarwala A., Chaujar R., Delhi Technological University, IN

As MOSFET device sizes and signal levels are aggressively scaled down, the low-frequency noise (LFN) properties become increasingly important. This paper predicts the feasibility of a novel design i.e., Gate Electrode Work function Engineered Recessed [...]

Modulating the Near Infrared Reflective Properties of Metal Oxides for Surface Coating Applications

Nidhin M., Sangeetha S., Radhika S., Sreeram K.J., Nair B.U., Central Leather Research Institute (CSIR), IN

A colorant which is able to reflect a major portion of the near infrared radiation is today known as cool colorant. These colorants when coated on roof tops, automobiles, leather etc. reduce the demand for [...]

Synthesis and electrical conductivity studies of PEO + LiClO4 + TiO2 + MoO3 nanocomposite solid polymer electrolyte

Kumar P.R., Venkateswerlu M., Satyanarayana N., Pondicherry University, IN

The preparative methods have been devised avoid the crystallinity and to improve the conductivity in the PEO polymer solid electrolyte. Recently, enhancement of both electrical and mechanical properties are obtained by adding the various types [...]

Electrical conductivity studies of ZnO dispersed PVdF-HFP nanocomposite solid polymer electrolyte for Lithium batteries

Padmaraj O., Venkateswarlu M., Satyanarayana N., Pondicherry University, IN

Polymer electrolytes are widely used in lithium batteries, since these have better advantages compared to other electrolytes such as low cost, light weight, no leakage, high energy density, improved safety and flexible design. Polymer electrolytes [...]

Irradiation effect on ethanol sensing response of zinc and tin composite oxide
