Research Highlights
We all know that entropy and friction go hand-in-hand. Friction creates irreversibility which results in the generation of entropy. This fundamental coupling has been the cornerstone of modern equilibrium and (more…
Presenting a fresh look at process control, this new text demonstrates state-space approach shown in parallel with the traditional approach to explain the strategies used in industry today. Modern time-domain and…
Numerical simulations reveals the intrinsic mechanism for the onset of the sharkskin instability in polymer extrusion process
In this paper, we have studied polymer extrusion, an important process in plastics…
Since its isolation in 2004 by Geim and Novoselov from the University of Manchester (Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010), graphene has been termed as a ‘wonder material’ due to its exceptional properties that have already…
