Biography

Ravi Kiran Kaipa, a recent master’s degree graduate in Mechanical Engineering from Northumbria University with an immense interest in the Aerodynamics and a contentious and diligent professional. He has worked on some of the projects which deals with the batteries in the electric go-kart and the reactions that are caused on the economizer tubes which ultimately causes its failure for the undergraduate student projects which gives some knowledge based on the research conducted in these regards. Apart from these projects, Ravi worked on some of the aerodynamic projects dealing with sonic boom reduction in supersonic aircrafts and designing a new configuration of the aircraft spoilers.

Abstract

A research based on an extensive study conducted on the Failure in the Tubes of the Economizers in a thermal power station for its grain structures and analysing the different kinds of failed structures by calculation of absolute reaction rates is formulated in terms of quantities which are available from the potential surfaces which can be constructed at the present time. The probability of this state is calculated using ordinary statistical mechanics. This probability multiplied by the rate of decomposition at the grain surface level gives the specific rate of reaction. The occurrence of quantised vibrations in the reacted space leads to relative reaction rates for isotopes quite different from the rates predicted using simple kinetic theory. The necessary conditions for the general statistical treatment to reduce to the usual kinetic treatment are given.
