Power or efficiency of a motor or engine determines the overall mechanism of a machine. The volume of fuel and air passing into the inner combustion engine under huge pressure dictates the output of the engine. Industrial turbochargers are examples of forced induction systems since they supply high pressure exhaust gas towards the engine, and make greater amount of air obtainable for combustion. This enhances the functioning ability of an engine almost up to thrice and a turbocharger generally contributes to about three quarters of the power of the engine.

The unique features of the nanowires make them ideal materials for numerous electrical and optical applications, photovoltaics, sensors, transistors, piezoelectric generators, and energy storage technologies.

Octadecanedioic acid is a long chain dicarboxylic acid which contains two carbon components. It is also called C18 diacid. Dicarboxylic acid is formed by the traditional method of butadiene oxidation. The primary raw material used in this process consists of petrochemicals. The volatile prices of petrochemical products coupled with the imbalance in the supply demand of petrochemicals raw materials has led to the shift toward biotechnology-based chemicals. The initiative to produce dicarboxylic acid from the method related to biotechnology production, primarily metathesis and microbial fermentation is taken to reduce the dependency on pertrochemicals raw material. The production of octadecanedioic acid through microbial fermentation, on a commercial scale, facilitates additional investments and developments in the biotechnological field. In the biotechnology method, vegetable oil is used as a raw material. Emission norms in the automobile and other industrial sectors have played an important role in the development of biotechnology-based acids.

Magnetic refrigeration is a cooling technology based upon the magnetocaloric effect. The technique can be used to attain extremely low temperatures. Magneto caloric effect (MCE) is a phenomenon, wherein temperature change of the magneto caloric material (MCM) is caused by exposing the material to a changing magnetic field. The temperature of MCMs increases when exposed to magnetic field and decreases when removed from it. The effect is reversible and instantaneous. Under the magnetic refrigeration system, a controlled magnetic field applies a series of magnetization & demagnetization cycles to the magnetocaloric alloys. Each of these cycles creates a temperature gradient in the MCE material. A rapid succession of these cycles produces the final and stabilized hot and cold temperatures in the refrigerated system. The magnetic refrigeration system involves components such as magnetic materials, regenerators, superconducting magnets, and active magnet regenerator.
