Replacing Mineral Oil with Vegetable Oil to Improve the Transformer’s Performance

In this paper, the replacement of mineral oil by vegetable oil for better performance of transformer was studied. This paper reveals benefits of vegetable oil over mineral oil based on their electrical characteristic, expectation, requirement , suitability, aging, environmental impact, safety, evaluation and dielectric properties of vegetable oil. Mineral oil was traditionally used to provide isolation, but vegetable oil has become increasingly popular in the last few years, and it is presently used in the range of small- to medium-size transformers. The application of transformer is expressly accreted. The competent electric transformer division in recent years has normally been immersed in mineral oil that acts as a medium insulating the energy supply of electric equipment. This paper provides information on the key environmental and fire resistance properties and associated values for natural vegetable oil transformers. Transformers filled with such fluids are generated in general. This work motivates the transformer performance to be determined by using natural dielectric vegetable fluid in comparison with ideal mineral oil. In also to estimate the degradation of both the oils the dissolved gas analysis is carried out. However, the dielectric dissipation factor of the mineral oil was about 77 times lower than that of natural oil [1]. The application of these liquids in transformers guarantees better life span. In transformer applications, vegetable isolating oils are now commercially available as replacements for mineral- based oils. In future, the vegetable oil will be the best replacement for mineral oil

Utilisation of Renewable Energy Source for Domestic Purpose Applications by Using Wind Mill

The Earth's winds comprise immense amounts of energy. Peoples use that energy for various purposes like sail ships, grind grain and pump water. In recent trend conversion of wind energy into electrical energy is mostly like one. In that by using some mechanical and electrical arrangement we able to produce electrical energy for domestic purpose as well as industrial purpose. The burning of fossil fuel produces 21.3 billion tons of CO2 per year and that are very hazardous for human existence on earth. By using renewable energy sources, we are able to overcome that problem. Due to absence of risk and disasters Renewable energy is always consult as reliable source. In this regard, various policies were prepared to encourage citizens for use of renewable source. Citizens were able to installed small wind mill for domestic purpose. It has one-time capital investment after that we can consume that energy or can connect to grid also. In this paper, we discuss about energy generation for home appliances from small windmill. This is contributing for reducing dependency on fossil fuels. [1]. Today, new wind turbines offer an efficient amount of electrical energy by catching more and more wind energy. Wind turbine converts the kinetic energy of wind into rotational kinetic energy and then converts into electrical energy by using electrical converters [2]. Wind turbines can be utilized for individual homes and also jointly to generate electricity for utility grids. Generated electricity is totally depends upon the size of rotating blades and speed of wind

Quaternion Analysis for Generalized Electromagnetic Fields of Dyons in Isotropic Medium

Quaternion analysis of time dependent Maxwell's equations in presence of electric and magnetic charges has been developed and the solutions for the classical problem of moving charges (electric and magnetic) are obtained in unique, simple and consistent manner

Generalized Electromagnetic fields in Chiral Medium

The time dependent Dirac-Maxwell's Equations in presence of electric and magnetic sources are written in chiral media and the solutions for the classical problem are obtained in unique simple and consistent manner. The quaternion reformulation of generalized electromagnetic fields in chiral media has also been developed in compact, simple and consistent manner

Use of interactive messaging to reduce pre-diagnosis loss to follow-up for TB care

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the uptake and usage of a WhatsApp-based interactive communication strategy to avert pre-diagnosis loss to follow-up (LTFU) from TB care in a high-incidence setting. METHODS: We enrolled adults (≥18 years) who underwent routine sputum TB testing in two primary healthcare clinics in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, South Africa. The intervention consisted of structured WhatsApp-based reminders (prompts) sent prior to a routine clinic appointment scheduled 2–3 days after the diagnostic visit. Pre-diagnosis LTFU was defined as failure to return for the scheduled appointment and within 10 days. RESULTS: We approached 332 adults with presumptive TB, of whom 103 (31%) were successfully enrolled; 213 (64%) did not own a WhatsApp-compatible phone. Of 103 participants, 74 (72%) actively responded to WhatsApp prompts; 69 (67%) opted to include a close contact in group communication to co-receive reminders. Pre-diagnosis LTFU was low overall (n = 7, 6.8%) and was not associated with failure to respond to WhatsApp prompts. CONCLUSION: In this high-incidence setting, enrolment in a WhatsApp-based communication intervention among adults with presumptive TB was low, mainly due to low availability of WhatsApp-compatible phones. Among participants, we observed high message response rates and low LTFU, suggesting potential for interactive messaging services to support pre-diagnosis TB care

Study of proton-unbound states in 24Al^{24}{\rm Al} relevant for the 23Mg(p,γ)^{23}{\rm Mg}(p,\gamma) reaction in novae

Background: The nucleosynthesis of several proton-rich nuclei is determined by radiative proton-capture reactions on unstable nuclei in nova explosions. One such reaction is $^{23}{\rm Mg}(p,\gamma)^{24}{\rm Al}$, which links the NeNa and MgAl cycles in oxygen-neon (ONe) novae. Purpose: To extract $^{23}{\rm Mg}(p,\gamma)^{24}{\rm Al}$ resonance strengths from a study of proton-unbound states in $^{24}{\rm Al}$, produced via the $^{24}$Mg($^{3}$He,$t$) reaction. Methods: A beam of $^3 {\rm He}^{2+}$ ions at 50.7 MeV was used to produce the states of interest in $^{24}$Al. Proton-triton angular correlations were measured with a $K=600$ QDD magnetic spectrometer and a silicon detector array, located at iThemba LABS, South Africa. Results: We measured the excitation energies of the four lowest proton-unbound states in $^{24}$Al and place lower-limits on $\Gamma_p/\Gamma$ values for these four states. Together with USD-C shell-model calculations of partial gamma widths, the experimental data are also used to determine resonance strengths for the three lowest $^{23}{\rm Mg}(p,\gamma)^{24}{\rm Al}$ resonances. Conclusions: The energy of the dominant first $^{23}{\rm Mg}(p,\gamma)$ resonance is determined to be $E_{r} = 481.4 \pm 1.1$ keV, with a resonance strength $\omega \gamma = 18 \pm 6$ meV

Measurement of the cross-section and charge asymmetry of WW bosons produced in proton-proton collisions at s=8\sqrt{s}=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

This paper presents measurements of the $W^+ \rightarrow \mu^+\nu$ and $W^- \rightarrow \mu^-\nu$ cross-sections and the associated charge asymmetry as a function of the absolute pseudorapidity of the decay muon. The data were collected in proton--proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC and correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 20.2~\mbox{fb^{-1}}. The precision of the cross-section measurements varies between 0.8% to 1.5% as a function of the pseudorapidity, excluding the 1.9% uncertainty on the integrated luminosity. The charge asymmetry is measured with an uncertainty between 0.002 and 0.003. The results are compared with predictions based on next-to-next-to-leading-order calculations with various parton distribution functions and have the sensitivity to discriminate between them.Comment: 38 pages in total, author list starting page 22, 5 figures, 4 tables, submitted to EPJC.
