These tests helped in the first successful flight (January 5, 2014) of the GSLV Mark II using the indigenously developed cryogenic engine, the CE-7.5 by ISRO. The LH2 Vent and Relief line along with the vent valve and the Protection plate in the Inter-Tank Truss region were crucial subsystems of the indigenous cryo stage which underwent acoustic qualification at CSIR-NAL. Complete aerodynamic re-characterization of the LVM 3 vehicle with fully simulated wind tunnel model has been carried out at National Trisonic Aerodynamics Facilities (NTAF) of CSIR-NAL. The major challenge was to design, manufacture and test models for force measurements, steady and unsteady pressure measurements in a very short time frame. The acoustic qualification of ISRO’s successful Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) satellite has been carried out at the new ATF facility at ISITE (ISRO Bengaluru) designed, built and commissioned by CSIR-NAL. Scientists of CSIR-NAL were closely associated with these acoustic qualification tests. CSIR is proud to be associated with the successes of ISRO’s GSLV-D5 and Mars Orbiter Mission programmes. 3.2 Contributions to Strategic area CSIR-CEERI has developed five different versions of Low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) micro- hotplates. These micro-hotplates have achieved a temperature of 300oC with power consumption less than 1 watt and size 3.5x3.5 mm2. These micro-hotplates have high temperature stability, are reliable and ruggedized for harsh adverse environment. These are being used by Solid State Physics Laboratory (DRDO), Delhi, CSIR-CGCRI, and CSIR-CSIO for various sensor applications. Armament Research Board of Ministry of Defence, Government of India has issued an appreciation letter to CSIR-CEERI recognizing the contributions.

  • Optimization of Ammonium Sulfamate Nitration for the Preparation of Ammonium Dinitramide

    Optimization of Ammonium Sulfamate Nitration for the Preparation of Ammonium Dinitramide

    Optimization of Ammonium Sulfamate Nitration for the Preparation... 83 Central European Journal of Energetic Materials, 2014, 11(1), 83-97 ISSN 1733-7178 Optimization of Ammonium Sulfamate Nitration for the Preparation of Ammonium Dinitramide Alok Kumar MANDAL*1, Ganesh Murlidhar KUNJIR1, Jaivindra SINGH1, Sushma S. ADHAV1, Sunil Kumar SINGH1, Raj Kishore PANDEY1, Bikash BHATTACHARYA1, Mannepalli LAKSHMI KANTAM2 and Karasala Vijaya KUMAR2 1High Energy Materials Research Laboratory, Chemical Engineering and Pilot Plant Division, Sutarwadi, Pune-411021, India 2Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad-500 007, India *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The reaction kinetics for the preparation of ammonium dinitramide (ADN) is described. ADN is the ammonium salt of the dinitramide anion, and belongs to the group of inorganic oxidizers, mainly useful for energetic rocket propellant formulations, particularly for underwater applications. It is also a potential candidate to replace ammonium perchlorate (AP), in order to develop chlorine-free, green propellants. At HEMRL, ADN is prepared by the nitration of ammonium sulfamate (AS) using mixed acid, followed by hydrolysis, neutralization with ammonia (g) and rectification using solvent. The nitration of ammonium sulfamate (AS) is carried out at a subzero temperature of -40 ±1 °C. The yield of ADN is reliant on the formation of dinitramidic acid, an intermediate product formed during the hydrolysis step, and its stability is predominantly dependent upon the level of acidity and temperature of the reaction medium. Prior to these kinetics studies, process optimization of the nitration of ammonium sulfamate (AS) was performed and gave the final mole ratio of AS:HNO3:H2SO4. Since the nitration of AS is sensitive to temperature, the rate of reaction was studied at fixed temperatures with variation of time, keeping all of the other parameters, such as vessel volume, agitator speed, feed rate etc., constant.

You have learnt that the history of the geological past of the Earth is written on rocks and preserved as stratigraphic sequences. The Precambrian time covers almost 90% of entire history of the Earth. It has been divided into three eons: the Hadean, the Archean and the Proterozoic. The records of the Hadean eon of Earth are not yet found on the Indian subcontinent. In this unit, we will discuss the stratigraphy with few examples of Archaean and Proterozoic eons from Indian shield. In the following sections, we will discuss about stratigraphy of Dharwar Supergroup of Archaean age and Cuddapah, Vindhyan and Delhi supergroups of Proterozoic age. …………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………………Block 2 Stratigraphy of India Expected Learning Outcomes__________________ After studying this unit, you should be able to: outline the major Precambrian successions of India; describe the stratigraphy of the main Precambrian supergroups of Peninsular India such as Dharwar, Cuddapah, Vindhyan and Delhi; and discuss the lithology, life, environment and economic importance of major groups/formations of Dharwar, Cuddapah, Vindhyan and Delhi supergroups. 4.2 DHARWAR CRATON The Dharwar craton of Archaean age is one of the classical and best-studied terrains of Peninsular India covering an area of about 450,000 km2 (Figs.
  • Stabilization of the New Oxidizer Ammonium Dinitramide (ADN) in Solid Phase

    Stabilization of the New Oxidizer Ammonium Dinitramide (ADN) in Solid Phase

    NATO UNCLASSIFIED Stabilization of the New Oxidizer Ammonium Dinitramide (ADN) in Solid Phase Dr. Manfred Bohn Fraunhofer-Institut für Chemische Technologie (ICT) Postfach 1240 D-76318 Pfinztal-Berghausen GERMANY e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) is one of the substances, which are seen to be able to replace ammonium perchlorate (AP) as oxidizer in rocket propellants. Some of the performance data in comparison to AP substantiate this suggestion (values for AP in brackets). It has a good oxygen balance of +25.8% (+34%), a more positive enthalpy of formation, -1208 J/g (-2518 J/g) and a higher heat of explosion as AP, 3337 J/g (1972 J/g). An additional advantage is that the reaction products of ADN are free of signature. One drawback of ADN clearly is the much lower thermal stability than that of AP, together with the relatively low melting point between 92 and 94°C. But the lower stability must not exclude its application in some types of rocket systems. The intrinsic stability of ADN is not much lower than that of unstabilized nitrocellulose. If it would be possible to find stabilizers, ADN can be considered as a substitute candidate for AP. An extensive investigation was made with eight substances to find out their stabilization effect on ADN. The ADN samples were mixed intensively with an amount of 2 mol-% each of these chemicals. The experimental methods used to determine the stabilization effect have been mass loss as function of time and temperature, 65°C, 70°C, 75°C, 80°C, and adiabatic self heating.

To explore the contribution of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in the development of hereditary breast cancer among Indian women, we carried out mutation analysis of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in 61 breast or ovarian cancer patients from south India with a positive family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer. Mutation analysis was carried out using conformation-sensitive gel electrophoresis (CSGE) followed by sequencing. Mutations were identifi ed in 17 patients (28.0%); 15 (24.6%) had BRCA1 mutations and two (3.28%) had BRCA2 mutations. While no specifi c association between BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations with cancer type was seen, mutations were more often seen in families with ovarian cancer. While 40% (4/10) and 30.8% (4/12) of families with ovarian or breast and ovarian cancer had mutations, only 23.1% (9/39) of families with breast cancer carried mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. In addition, while BRCA1 mutations were found in all age groups, BRCA2 mutations were found only in the age group of ≤40 years.
