The demand for energy is expected to increase for the foreseeable future as the human population increases, the average standard of living improves, and electronics and automation find more applications in our daily life. While fossil energy resources are greatly in demand, sustainability concerns have motivated energy generation from renewable and reusable energy resources, and the use of more...

India’s national missions to advance demand-side management and DERs such as, the Enhanced Energy Efficiency, Smart Grid, Wind and Solar Energy, Electric Mobility, etc., provide a pathway for sustainable developments. With these national missions, India is relying on large targets of 175 GW of renewable energy generation by 2022, which comprises of 100 GW Solar, 60 GW Wind, 10 GW Biomass, and 5...

In this study we use a thermodynamic framework to characterize the material and energy resources used in manufacturing processes. The analysis and data span a wide range of processes from "conventional" processes such as machining, casting, and injection molding, to the so-called "advanced machining" processes such as electrical discharge machining and abrasive waterjet machining, and to the va...

fabrication, characterization and application of micro-/nano-rods/wires are among the hottest topics in materials science and applied physics. micro-/nano-rod-based structures and devices are developed for a wide-ranging use in various fields of micro-/nanoscience (e.g. biology, electronics, medicine, optics, optoelectronics, photonics and sensors). it is well known that the structure and prope...
