Significance of radiation heat transfer on cooling performance of transformer radiator

The article demonstrate significance of radiation heat transfer on cooling performance of radiators used in power transformers with air natural cooling configuration using analytical calculations and computional fluid dynamics simulations on two different case studies. Convective and radiative heat transfer mechanisms are modelled on a single radiator and a good agreement with the experimental measurement results is observed. The radiation contributes 21.3 % of total heat dissipation and thus has a significant impact on overall heat dissipation and cannot be neglected. This study will be useful – for the transformer designer – to point on the relevance of the radiative heat transfer in cooling

Track clustering with a quantum annealer for primary vertex reconstruction at hadron colliders

Clustering of charged particle tracks along the beam axis is the first step in reconstructing the positions of hadronic interactions, also known as primary vertices, at hadron collider experiments. We use a 2036 qubit D-Wave quantum annealer to perform track clustering in a limited capacity on artificial events where the positions of primary vertices and tracks resemble those measured by the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The algorithm, which is not a classical-quantum hybrid but relies entirely on quantum annealing, is tested on a variety of event topologies from 2 primary vertices and 10 tracks up to 5 primary vertices and 15 tracks. It is benchmarked against simulated annealing executed on a commercial CPU constrained to the same processor time per anneal as time in the physical annealer, and performance is found to be comparable for small numbers of vertices with an intriguing advantage noted for 2 vertices and 16 tracks

Reductive Biotransformation of Ethyl Acetoacetate: A Comparative Studies using Free and Immobilized Whole Yeast Cells

Bioreduction of ethyl acetoacetate with free and immobilized yeast whole cell was achieved by using water and sucrose combination. After detachment from immobilized beads under basic condition, the corresponding ethyl(S)-(+)-3-hydroxybutanoate was isolated with 98 to 100% yield. Immobilized beads of yeast whole cell were prepared at different temperature which affects the morphology and physiology of the beads for the diffusion of the enzyme, which shown the maximum conversion of the substrate to products as compared to the free yeast whole cell

Technology transfer in pharmaceutical industry- A Review

The objective of this review article is to study how technology is transferred in pharmaceutical industry. The article attempts to discuss about the technology transfer process, importance of technology transfer, reasons for using technology transfer, policy approaches of technology transfer, effective factors in technology transfer, Facets of technology transfer, goals of technology transfer, steps involved in technology transfer, barriers of technology transfer and the issues involved in the technology transfer in the pharmaceutical industry. The transfer may be said to be successful if the receiving unit and the transferee can effectively utilize the technology for business gain. The transfer involves cost and expenditure that should be agreed by the transferee and transferor. The success of any particular technology transfer depends upon process understanding or the ability to predict accurately the future performance of a process
