Gaṇitagannaḍi: A Karaṇa Text of 1604 CE on Siddhāntic Astronomy in Kannaḍa
No full textFrom a private collection of palm leaf manuscripts the text Gaṇitagannaḍi has been unearthed and studied. The contents follow the traditional texts with all the chapters starting from the calculation of ahargaṇas to the predictions of eclipses. The text presents a unique method of calculation which the author, Viddaṇācārya, declares to be his own invention. In this paper, the procedures are described with the help of the elaborate commentary, written in Kannaḍa language, by Śaṅkaranārāyaṇa Jōisaru of Shringeri This paper highlights the uniqueness of the procedure for calculating the ahargaṇa and the dhruvās for the positions of planets

Get PDFIce buildup on structures leads to problems that include reduced performance, structural damage and power outages. It is therefore important to limit the energy required for removal of ice from substrates to minimize buildup. Understanding the mechanism of ice adhesion and its dependence on variables like coating thickness, stiffness, surface free energy and morphology is critical for minimizing adhesion. Despite several developments in “icephobic” coatings, which are those that have low ice adhesion, it is important to understand adhesion on the fundamental level to make way for advanced coatings. To do so, a study has been carried out that explores key variables affecting ice adhesion using a commercially available silicone, Sylgard 184®. Sylgard 184 is a two-part, platinum cured silicone elastomer available from Dow Corning with good physical and chemical stability and is used in widely diverse research studies.
The thermodynamic work of ice adhesion is related to the receding contact angle θ_r of water by Equation 1.
wa≈ γ_w (1+cos θ_r) Eq 1.
where γ_w is the surface tension of water. Considering an elastomeric substrate and ice as a rigid cylindrical adherent, the Kendall modelcan be adapted to relate peak removal force (Pc) with work of adhesion (wa), modulus (K), thickness (t), and radius (a) according to Equation 2.
Pc ∝ πa^2 ((2wa K)/t)^(1⁄2) Eq. 2
Considering these relationships, hydrophobic materials with low surface energies and high receding contact angles are generally predicted to show low adhesion. To begin to understand details, the force required to remove an ice cylinder from the silicone elastomer Sylgard 184 was investigated by focusing on three variables: coating thickness, modulus and cure temperature. “Cure” refers to the network formation or crosslinking within the material.
The Wynne research group has previously established a surprising dependence of qR on Sylgard 184 cure temperature.In this thesis, the relationship among variables noted above was examined by measuring Pc for Sylgard coatings. Additionally, effects of test temperature on ice adhesion strength was studied. Surface characterization methods including ATR-IR (attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy), DCA (Wilhelmy plate dynamic contact angles) and AFM (atomic force microscopy) were employed. In summary, defined processing conditions were found optimum for minimizing ice adhesion to Sylgard coatings
Experimental Investigation and Statistical Analysis of Recycled Asphalt Pavement Mixtures Incorporating Nanomaterials
No full textReclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) materials are used as substitutes for new materials in asphalt pavement construction, leveraging the engineering and commercial benefits of the aged binders and aggregate matrixes in RAP. These asphalt mixtures impart significant variations in volumetric properties and asphalt mixture characteristics. The current study investigates the Marshall properties, moisture susceptibility, and rutting behavior of 24 recycled asphalt mixtures developed with nanosilica and nanoclay. RAP material percent, nanomaterial content, binder grade, and extra binder were considered the factors influencing asphalt mixture performance. The above factors were analyzed using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to predict the Marshall and volumetric properties. Also, this investigation covers the moisture susceptibility and rut characteristics of recycled nanomaterial-modified Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) mixes developed with Viscosity Grade 30 (VG-30) and Polymer-Modified Bitumen-40 (PMB-40). The chemical additive Zycotherm was used to develop WMA mixes. The test results indicate that adding RAP material at higher percentages and modifying the binder with nanomaterials affected moisture susceptibility with reduced moisture damage. Recycled nanosilica-modified HMA mixes developed with PMB-40 at higher RAP percentages reported higher tensile strength ratio (TSR) values in contrast with VG-30 mixes, indicating their greater susceptibility toward moisture-induced damage. The rutting potential of all of the recycled asphalt mixture combinations was enhanced by densely packed aggregate structures optimized with nanomaterials, total binder content, and RAP materials developed using the Marshall method. Overall, the nanosilica-modified recycled asphalt mixes developed with PMB40 at higher RAP percentages showed better performance in terms of strength and durability
