Abstract

The substrate is an important factor for efficient electricity production in Microbial Fuel Cell systems. The substrate is an organic compound that promotes the growth of active microbes. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of substrate type and concentration on the bioelectricity produced by a single-chamber MFC. Fructose and butyric acid were used as substrates and carbon felt used as an electrode. Types and variations in substrate concentration were applied to the soil media used in the MFC. After 3 weeks of incubation, the optimum power density value achieved by MFC with 90 g/L fructose substrate was 20.5 mW/m2. Whereas, MFC treated with 800 mg/L butyric acid produced a maximum power density of 19.7 mW/m2.Keywords: Substrate, Fructose, Butyric acid, Power density, Microbial Fuel Cell.

Abstract

Modeling, simulation and extraction of model parameters of four DSSCs was carried out using four different models. The results show that model parameters depend on of the types of models and dyes (or DSSCs). Also, the fewer the number of model parameters the lesser the computation efforts and knowledge about the internal features of the photovoltaic system and vice versa. In addition, the photocurrent Iph of a DSSC is constant for all models. Furthermore, the diode reverse saturation current Io is inversely proportional to the absolute values of the series resistance Rs and shunt resistance Rsh. Moreover, the modified diode ideality factor depends on the number of model parameters and nature of dye/DSSC. However, models with higher number of model parameters (4 and 5) involving resistances manifest parameter irregularity. Nevertheless, the negative sign or complexity of the model parameters does not render them undesirable elements for researchers to use them in their application. Thus, the overall result shows that all the models used produced good I-V curve fit for all the solar cells studied irrespective of the presence of parameter irregularity.Keywords: Modeling, Simulation, Model parameter, DSSCs, Single diode model, Parameter irregularity.

Abstract

The present article deals with the overview of methods to produce Ag-Cu nanoparticles. Different chemical and physical procedures for the preparation of Ag-Cu nanoparticles are presented. A simple chemical reduction method is used to synthesise the colloidal mixture of bimetallic Ag-Cu nanoparticles. The Ag-Cu nanoparticles can be further characterised by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV–spectra. In physical techniques for the production of nanoparticles, laser ablation is used to produce Ag-Cu nanoparticles in alloy form. The analytical study can be done using characterisation techniques like SEM, HRTEM, SERS, and UV-visible spectroscopy.Keywords: Ag-Cu nanoparticles, XRD, Physical methods, Chemical methods, TEM, SEM.

Abstract

System failure in nuclear reactors can cause degradation of a reactor core, allowing melting and relocation of the corium to the lower plenum in the nuclear reactor system. In this study, a severe accident simulation was carried out using the Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS) method. In this method, we model the relocation of molten corium on the reactor core (support plate) to the lower plenum for several conditions with variations: corium material, lower plenum conditions, temperature, viscosity, and density. Those treatments were carried out in order to be able to compare and analyze the characteristics of the corium melt by reviewing the velocity profiles. The formation of a corium pool and debris bed can result in significant temperature differences and high heat flux against the walls of the reactor vessel, causing a decrease in the integrity of the reactor vessel and reactor failure.Keywords: Corium, Uranium Dioxide (UO2), Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2), Fluid Relocation, Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS).

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2, also known as, Covid-19 is an almost globally endemic disease that has infected hundreds of millions of people and caused ongoing deaths. Researchers are still trying to search for effective drugs against Covid-19. Currently, with the development of science and technology, the process of drug discovery through simulated environments is becoming increasingly accurate and yielding rapid results. The protease crystal structure of Covid-19 plays a crucial role in viral replication and represents promising primary targets for antiviral drug discovery and therapy. Lavender and N3 compound ligands were used as test ligands. A total of 9 lavender ligand compounds were subjected to testing using the molecular docking method. Molecular docking aims to achieve the optimal conformation of both the protein and ligand, as well as the relative orientation between them. The analysis conducted during molecular docking includes the determination of the inhibition constant and the study of interactions between the protein and ligand.Keywords: Covid-19, docking, N3, ligand
