This article focuses on the optimization of process parameters such as core area, core material and voltage for the design of power transformer. It employs Taguchi orthogonal array technique for designing the experiments and its analysis. Utility transformers are usually specified with the losses associated at design stage. The area of the core cross-section applied voltage, as well as the core material all has impact core loss deterioration. The impact of such variables influencing core loss is investigated by executing the model. A small proportion of core as well as the coil assembly experiments is simulated using the Taguchi approach with the orthogonal array. In this study, the core as well as the coil assembly of an 8MVA, 33/11KV, 3 Phase Transformer is modelled in ANSYS MAXWELL software. MINITAB software is used to assess the program's anticipated core loss in order to discover the optimal arrangement for three control variables.

Large values from external causes, such as partial shade, can greatly influence output power of PV. The applications of partial shading are frequently utilized in simulation software. However, in this research work, partial shading and the integration of the photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) Hybrid Solar Panel is implemented, and analysis is done to see how it affects the output power of solar panels under genuine climatic circumstances. Many research investigations have been conducted and researchers continue to look at PV/T systems to enhance their performance. The application is designed to provide information on solar panel output power under normal and partial shading situations. The maximum amount of power that solar panels can generate is 298.50 W. Under typical circumstances, partial shading in a solar panel can result in a maximum power value of 141.13 W, and this partial shading leads the power to increase.

In this study, a various weight percentage (50, 100, and 150 wt%) of g-C3N4 embedded NiO nanocomposite was synthesized by thermal polymerization followed by a simple hydrothermal technique. The synthesized photocatalysts were thoroughly characterized by employing sophisticated instrument methods such as p-XRD, HR-TEM, HR-XPS, UV–Vis DRS, and PL. The optimum incorporation of g-C3N4 (100 wt%) into the NiO system significantly increased the photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic chloramphenicol (CPL) with a percentage of 93.95% after 150 min of light exposure. Similarly, the Ni-CN-150 nanocomposite successfully degraded anionic direct violet 51 azo dye at 90.42% after 120 min of light irradiation. The efficient decrease of electron–hole recombination by transferring electrons between junctions improved photocatalytic degradation. The nanocomposite remained stable after six cycles of degradation for CPL and DV 51 pollutants in recycling trials. Quenching investigations identified the main reactive species that degrade pollutants and detailed the likely photocatalytic reaction process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The fabrication of metamaterials with inspiration from nature paved the door for the creation of revolutionary passive and active devices. Butterfly wings are one of them, and their multilayered structure motivated nanotechnologists, physicists, and other optoelectronic and photonic engineers to develop photonic crystals, dielectric reflectors, and Bragg reflectors for use in visible light communication, solar cells, and other photonic and optoelectronic applications. We report the sol–gel spin coating of a dielectric reflector on the glass substrate, an optical passive component consisting of titania and silica thin films for infrared radiation reflection. Individual thin films of titania and silica on glass substrates were studied using an x-ray diffractometer, which indicated anatase of titania and the amorphous nature of silica at a Bragg angle of 25° with a sharp and wide peak, respectively. The multilayer structure of titania/silica/titania was further investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which revealed the presence of Ti–O–Ti and Si–O–Si vibrational bonds at wavenumbers 546 and 973 cm−1, respectively, as well as the presence of Ti–O–Si vibrational bond at 1100 cm−1. The thickness of the multilayer titania/silica/titania was measured using a cross-sectional field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and found to be 160/240/160 nm, respectively. Finally, reflection investigation on the multilayer structure using ultraviolet–visible–near-infrared spectroscopy validated the reflection of the infrared spectrum area by around 70% and showed to be beneficial for temperature shielding applications on glass furnishings.

The proposed fuzzy composition-based filtering method aims to remove a presence of fractal Brownian noise in the MR brain images. The fractional Brownian motion (FBM) noise is a continuous time Gaussian processed noise and its very difficult to identify the positions and range of noise density level, due to a smoothed noise. The projected fuzzy scheme encloses an equivalent fuzzy interference scheme, a fuzzy average procedure and a fuzzy composition procedure. The noise subtraction scheme has been confirmed to be the finest while the depiction is tainted by means of fractional Brownian motion. With an average o/p Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR) of 37.22 and an average noisy image PSNR of 20.28, the average PSNR rate has improved by 16.94. In addition, the average mean square error (MSE) rate has decreased from 609.48 to 12.33 percent. An experimental result confirms that the fuzzy filtering achieves an outstanding eminence of reinstated images in terms of PSNR and MSE without the assistance of noiseless depiction.
