This paper describes the corrosion behaviour of ductile iron containing 1 wt. % chromium in sea water, dilute sulphuric acid and dilute sodium hydroxide solutions and compares with that of unalloyed ductile iron. Study is made in as-cast, annealed and cold worked (upto 28% reduction in thickness) conditions at three different temperatures. Since the alloying addition brings changes in the proportion of phases, the corrosion behaviour of the two materials studied were different, though alloying addition is small, indicating corrosion behaviour to be structure sensitive.Item Pipelined Parallel Processor to implement MD4 Message digest algorithm on Xilinx FPGA(1998) David S.The paper presents a pipelined parallel processor architecture design to implement the MD4 message digest algorithm which computes the message digest or the fingerprint of 128 bit fixed length, for any arbitrary length of input message. The processor implements the arithmetic, logic and circular shift operations by a pipelined parallel process. The architecture is designed to suit the design flexibility of the Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) The processor reads the message from an external RAM, 16-bit at a time and internal operations are performed with 32-bit data. The major advantage of the design is increased speed of computation and minimum hardware. The processor computes the digest with a speed approximately three times faster than the software version implemented in DSP processors.Item Chemical amplification method for the determination of atmospheric sulphur dioxide(1997) Pandurangappa M.; Balasubramanian N.A sensitive spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of trace levels of sulphur dioxide in ambient air after fixing the gas in triethanolamine (TEA) or triethanolaminemannitol absorbing solutions. The method is based on the reaction of sulphur dioxide with iodine to form iodide and after the extraction of unreacted iodine, the iodide was oxidized to iodate by bromine. The generated iodate is utilized to oxidize hydroxylamine to nitrite which produces an azo dye in the presence of p-nitroaniline and N-(l-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (NEDA) in acid medium with maximum absorption at 545 nm. The system obeys Beer's law over the concentration range 0-5 μg of sulphur dioxide in a final volume of 25 ml. The relative standard deviation is 2.5% at 4 μg of sulphur dioxide (n = 10). The interference of other gaseous species were suitably overcome by the proper reaction conditions. The developed method was applied to determine low levels of sulphur dioxide generated using permeation devices and ambient levels of sulphur dioxide in the vicinity of a sulphuric acid plant.Item Asbestos mining - campaign against its utilisation in western world(1989) Venkat Reddy D.[No abstract available]Item Use of mining and seismological parameters as premonitors of rockbursts(1997) Srinivasan, C.; Arora, S.K.; Yaji, R.K.Comprising one of the deepest mines in the world, the gold mining region of the Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) in southern India is known to be confronted with the acute problem of rockbursts that pose a hazard to workmen and cause disruptions in the production schedule. In combination with mining parameters, seismological data of these rockbursts events systematically monitored over the years using a regional seismic network have been employed to examine and model premonitory characteristics of the events. Linear empirical relations are established relying on correlations seen between the seismic energy released due to a rockburst, total tonnage of ore mined out and total number of rockbursts, as well as seismic events in some shallow and deep workings currently active at KGF. The deterministic model, although not free from certain limitations at present, has been applied to predict rockburst activity with some success. � 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.Item �ber den Einflu� von Schwefelwasserstoff auf die Korrosion des Eisens in sauren L�sungen(1979) Ramchandran, T.; Bohnenkamp, K.An Eisenelektroden wurden in anges�uerten Perchlorat und Sulfatl�sungen nach Einleiten von Schwefelwasserstoff erheblich ver�nderte Stromdichte?Potentialkurven beobachtet. Gegen�ber den reinen L�sungen ergeben sich mit Schwefelwasserstoff stark erh�hte anodische Stromdichten und bis um den Faktor 10 erh�hte Korrosionsgeschwindigkeiten. Dabei sind die anodischen Tafelgeraden log iA = f (E) mit H2S nur rund halb so steil wie ohne H2S. Wahrscheinlich wirken die SH??Ionen �hnlich wie die OH??Ionen als Katalysator der Eisenaufl�sung, sind aber bis fast zur S�ttigung absorbiert. Copyright � 1979 Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
