IIT Kharagpur unveiled the increasing ozone pollution in Antarctica

IIT Kharagpur unveiled the increasing ozone pollution in Antarctica

In-Depth, , , , , ,
IIT Kharagpur researchers revealed significant increase of ozone pollution in the Antarctic troposphere for the past 25 years, which is a concern as the region is far from the industries and continental emission sources. A recent scientific study analysed the significant increase of Surface Ozone and Tropospheric Ozone in Antarctica for the past 25 years. The research findings were supported by surface-based and ozonesonde measurements in Antarctica. “The increasing trend in ozone pollution across Antarctica would have a profound impact on the future climate of one of the most climate-sensitive regions on the Earth, as tropospheric ozone has warming feedback…

Indigenous development of PSA technology based medical grade oxygen plant

Indigenous development of PSA technology based medical grade oxygen plant

Spotlight Innovation, , , , , , ,
In IIT Kharagpur’s assistance, Nektor Health Science System, Ahmedabad has developed an indigenous prototype plant for generation of medical grade oxygen. Globally, the shortage of medical oxygen has become a major challenge for treating COVID-19 patients. Considering the fact, in corroboration to IIT Kharagpur researcher, the highly experienced team of Nektor Health Science System, Ahmedabad, has developed an indigenous Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) oxygen manufacturing plant with required purity and pressure. “One of the best methods to generate oxygen with the purity level of 93% to 96% directly from compressed air is PSA technology, where the molecular sieve selectively adsorbs…

IIT Kharagpur has set “Specialty Friction Reducers” in motion

Spotlight Innovation, , , , , , , , ,
IIT Kharagpur researchers have contributed to product development and commercialization of specialty friction reducers for challenging unconventional oilfield environments. Recently, IIT Kharagpur researchers have contributed towards a new domain of indigenous innovation, “Specialty Friction Reducers” for unconventional oilfields and most significantly, this technique has led to commercialization of this product by an Indian Manufacturer, for the first time, for the global oil and gas industry. “We have developed the technique for characterizing the specialty friction reducers involves a unique combination of drag reduction and viscometric measurements, specifically replicating the complex oilfield environment. The work further enabled correlation between the fundamental…

Dr B C Roy- A pioneer of Medical Science, who remodeled the perception on Doctors

Community, ,
God is busy, cannot be present everywhere, that’s why they have created doctors. Rightly said by Carl Jung- “Medicines cure diseases, but only doctors cure patients. In recognition of service rendered by the medical doctors, July 1 is celebrated as National Doctors’ Day all across India, to honour the legendary Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy on his birth and death anniversary. This day is very important to pay tribute to the doctors, who are selflessly and tirelessly protecting us. To acknowledge and salute them for their contributions towards serving the nation, IIT Kharagpur has celebrated National Doctors’ Day at the Bidhan…

Bonobo’s several interesting facts have paved the way to the solution of the optimization problem

Bonobo’s several interesting facts have paved the way to the solution of the optimization problem

In-Depth, , , ,
Prof. Dilip Kumar Pratihar along with his student Mr. Amit Kumar Das from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of IIT Kharagpur has proposed an intelligent and adaptive metaheuristic optimization algorithm, namely “BONOBO OPTIMIZER (BO)” to solve the complex optimization problems, being inspired from the social behavior and reproductive strategies of bonobos. BO uses a unique and adaptive selection scheme, namely fission-fusion technique for selecting the mating bonobo, which has made the algorithm intelligent, robust and good performer. It is an intelligent and adaptive heuristic with self-adjusting controlling parameters. It is able to maintain a good balance between exploration and exploitation…

Worldwide increase in extreme precipitation: A manifestation of climate change

Worldwide increase in extreme precipitation: A manifestation of climate change

In-Depth, , , , ,
Since the 1970s, global climate change and consequent warming of atmospheric system have led to a significant increase in extreme precipitation across the world, revealed by the IIT Kharagpur researchers through a global analysis. “The global climate change and consequent warming of atmospheric system have altered the regular spatio-temporal distribution of precipitation. Our researchers also found that, the extent of increase in precipitation extremes is comparatively less near equator and reaches peak around mid-latitudes.”, mentioned the lead researcher, Prof Rajib Maity, Department of Civil Engineering. The researchers have considered gridded observational- reanalysis precipitation dataset (1948-2012) and two important extreme precipitation…
