Precipitation of curcumin, a poorly water-soluble drug, has been carried out by the liquid antisolvent technique in the presence of ultrasound and stabilizers. Curcumin particles with varied morphology were observed to ...

We investigate the rheological implications of partitioning and self-assembly of colloidal particles at the grain boundaries (GBs) of hexagonal (H1) liquid crystal (LC) phase as a function of particle loading, shape and ...

Motivated by our recent study showing improved flow and dissolution rate of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) powders (20 μm) produced via simultaneous micronization and surface modification through continuous ...

The estimation of critical gas holdup at which the transition from homogeneous regime to heterogeneous regime occurs is crucial for the design and scale-up of multiphase reactors. A number of experimental and empirical ...

A combined cycle power plant (CCPP) is a complex system with a Gas Turbine, Steam Turbine and a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) working together. These three units work together and make the process highly interdependent. ...

Alarm systems in chemical plants alert process operators to deviations in process variables beyond predetermined limits. Despite more than 30 years of research in developing various methods and tools for better alarm ...

Safety is paramount aspect of any chemical plant. In this paper various approaches to enhance process safety are evaluated. The specific enhancements include process design methodologies for improving inherent safety and ...

India has witnessed some of the most severe historical droughts in the current decade, and severity, frequency, and areal extent of droughts have been increasing. As a large part of the population of India is dependent on ...
