Closed Loop Brayton cycle power plants using supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) have drawn the attention of many researchers in recent times. In this power plant (using heat source from either solar or nuclear),one of the main challenges is the design of the prime mover, namely the turbine. Radial Inflow Turbine (RIT) is found to be a suitable candidate as it has many advantages over Axial Flow TurbinesTechnologies used for the design of RIT for air Brayton cycle are well established.

Sustainable economic development necessitates a careful design of the energy infrastructure.

Institutional analysis of urban transportation in Bangalore.This paper maps and explains the institutional structure of urban transportation policy in Bangalore, India. Our critique of individual agencies and methods of policy making and implementation will demonstrate how the current setup negatively affects urban transportation planning in Bangalore. We  suggest about broad institutional changes that we believe would improve outcomes and service delivery.

Global mechanisms to create energy efficient and low-carbon infrastructures: An Indian Perspective

This publication enlighten the reader about how electricity can be produced using the rice husk at Ghana.

The variable nature of wind speed and direction affects the critical zones of chemical incidents (spills and effluents). We describe a method to develop a GIS-based “plume rose” using its corresponding wind rose to map the areas that might be affected by a chemical release incident. The plume rose can thus be used in the preparation and response phases of emergency management for an industrial chemical incident. In this study, we examine an industrial region in Bangalore, India and show that seasonal variation in winds significantly change the nature (size and direction) of the plume rose.

This paper demonstrates the benefit of conducting analyses of methods with the aid of a theory. 

Creating Sustainable Urban Systems: Need for Redesigning Indicators for Urban Infrastructure and Services 

The aim is to study how the bandgap can be varied with different functional groups added to the polymer. The calculations are initially compared with the corresponding experimental values for various sulfone compounds.The method is further extended to PEO functionalized with groups like OH, COOH, NH2,NP and(CH3)3Si to study how the bandgap can be engineered by varying the chemistry of the material.The aim is to study how the bandgap can be varied with different functional groups added to the polymer.
