  • Publication number: 20240098936
    Abstract: The present invention discloses microtextures for a thin-film evaporation. The microstructure is called as wedged micropillar and a forest of these micropillar helps in maintaining a thin-film of liquid over the heat sink surface through capillary action. The inherent sharp corners of these wedged micropillars drives the liquid filament along the vertical direction and the large mean curvature of the liquid meniscus provides high capillary pumping pressure. At the same time, these microstructures can offer high permeability for liquid flow thereby leading to low viscous pressure loss as compared to the cylindrical microstructured heat sink. As a result of these, the predicted dryout heat flux for thin-film evaporation is more than twice that of the conventional cylindrical microstructures. Also, we have proposed a combined architecture of wedged and cylindrical micropillars for hotspot-targeted cooling application.

  • Publication number: 20240018624
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for selectively precipitating and extracting gold in aqueous solution by niacin. Aqueous Au3+ is precipitated selectively as it's complex from gold containing acidic mixtures by biomolecule niacin, with the formula [AuCl4]?[2Niacin+H]+. After precipitation, the complex is separated from impurities by filtration. Recovered complex is reduced by using a reductant like sodium metabisulfite (Na2S2O5) to recover gold metal. The method is highly cost-effective, sustainable and recovers about 96.5% of gold in 2 minutes from an electronic waste composed of Au. Cu and Ni. The method is also employed to extract gold from nanomaterials waste generated in laboratories.

  • Publication number: 20240007332
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a signal receiver and signal receiving method involving nonlinear detection method for mmWave OTFS systems in high mobility scenarios with non-ideal power amplifier, which is applicable in the fifth generation (5G) and beyond networks. The millimeter wave (mmWave) system is envisioned to be a promising candidate of 5G. However, the high frequency and large bandwidth operation in mmWaves result in nonlinear distortions from the power amplifier in the system. The nonlinearly distorted signals from non-ideal power amplifier when propagate through a wideband high mobility channel tremendously degrades the systems performance. Attributed to the non-ideal power amplifier, the nonlinear distortions induce multiplicative distortions and inter symbol interference (ISI) in the OTFS system. It further causes the posterior probability of the transmitted signal non-Gaussian and analytically intractable.

  • Patent number: 11859816
    Abstract: Various kinds of oscillatory instabilities are seen in practical systems. We devise of way of combating these oscillatory instabilities in a thermoacoustic system. Confined combustion environments are prone to large amplitude pressure oscillations known as thermoacoustic instabilities. Although several techniques have been employed to control or mitigate such instabilities, optimization of these methods is achieved at the cost of performing multiple trial and error experiments/simulations. This invention develops a methodology to quantify the spatio-temporal dynamics using synchronization, recurrence, and fractal measures and find the coherent region in such turbulent flow field. Such an analysis provides us with a novel way to detect critical regions responsible for thermoacoustic instability, and other oscillatory instabilities in general, in the flow field and implement an optimized control strategy at these regions.
