Thermoacoustic Refrigerator for High Temperature Gradient

Leakage of HFCs, thermal shocks to sensitive devices, moving mechanical components which in turn require more maintenance, are some of the cons of a conventional vapor compression system .The newest field in refrigeration overcoming such flaws is Thermoacoustic refrigerator (TAR), where the sound energy is used to generate a temperature difference which can be used for refrigeration. TAR are environment friendly, do not use any kind of refrigerants, and as the compressor and expander are not used, hence, its life is more than a conventional VCR. The objective is to obtain a substantial temperature gradient using a Thermoacoustic Refrigerator. The methodology is to choose the suitable material and design the prototype. A large part of this project is devoted to explore the different designs for thermo acoustic refrigerators, and select the optimum one for maximum utility. With the present system, it was possible to achieve a temperature difference across the stack of 14 K

In Silico Guided Drug Repurposing to Combat SARS-CoV-2 by Targeting Mpro, the Key Virus Specific Protease

The reemergence of SARS-CoV named, as SARS-CoV-2 has been highly infectious and able to infect a large population around the globe. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared this SARS-CoV-2 associated Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) as pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 genome is translated into polyproteins and has been processed by its protease enzymes. 3CLprotease is named as main protease (Mpro) enzyme which cleaves nsp4-nsp16. This crucial role of Mpro makes this enzyme a prime and promising antiviral target. The drug repurposing is a fast alternative method than the discovery of novel antiviral molecules. We have used high-throughput virtual screening approach to examine FDA approved LOPAC1280 library against Mpro. Primary screening have identified few potential drug molecule for the target among which 10 molecules were studied further. Molecular docking of selected molecules was done to detailed study about their binding energy and binding modes. Positively, Etoposide, BMS_195614, KT185, Idarubicin and WIN_62577 were found interacting with substrate binding pocket of Mpro with higher binding energy. These molecules are being advanced by our group for in vitro and in vivo testing to study the efficacy of identified drugs. As per our understanding, these molecules have the potential to efficiently interrupt the viral life cycle and may reduce or eliminate the expeditious outspreading of SARS-CoV-2.</p
