Abstract:
A filtering device for the removal of arsenic from the ground water/surface water. The filtering device of the present invention uses steel wool and sand as the raw material for the removal of arsenic from water and the entire outer body of the device can be made form cheaper material like plastic material or stainless steel. The filtering device of the present invention works on the simple principle of co-precipitation of arsenic with metals, followed by adsorption and filtration through treated sand. The metal, the steel wool, used in the device is a processed waste generated from steel plant thereby making the device extremely cheaper and versatile. Ih the filtering device of the present invention, iron arsenate and iron arsenite are co-precipitated by the reaction of steel wool with arsenic in water. The device uses treated river and simultaneously for the removal of iron leached out during reaction.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a dismantleable mandrel assembly and a method of molding solid propellant grains with deep fin cavities whose major transverse dimensions are larger than casing opening dimensions in a monolithic rocket motor. The mandrel assembly comprises a base mandrel, a core mandrel insertable into the base mandrel and a plurality of fin molds attachable onto the base mandrel in a circular pattern about the motor axis. The plurality of longitudinal fin cavities is configured with forward swept leading and trailing edges. The manufacturing technique involves assembling and disassembling the mandrel components before propellant casting and after propellant curing respectively in a specific sequence. With minimum number of components and critical joints the method assures reduced quantum of explosive hazard in propellant grain manufacturing for high performance solid rocket motors.
Abstract:

The process for preparing Fibre Reinforced Polymeric (FRP) Composite, said process comprising acts of homogeneously mixing 1- 30% by weight of different electrically conducting fillers in matrix resin system to obtain resin mix; wetting dry preforms using the resin mix; compacting the wetted preforms to obtain green composite; curing the green composite; and post-curing the cured composite to prepare the FRP Composite.
Abstract:
The subject matter described herein is directed to a brake drum (402) with a friction liner. The brake drum (402) includes an outer shell (404) and a friction liner (302). The outer shell (404) is formed from a first material such as a metal alloy. The friction liner (302) is formed from a functionally graded metal matrix composite (FGMMC) material. The brake drum (402) produced by the method described herein is economical and easy to manufacture. Also, due to an increased volume fraction of ceramic particles present in the friction liner (302), better wear resistance and enhanced life of the brake drum (402) is achieved.
