Polymeric Nanocomposite Membranes for Next Generation Pervaporation Process: Strategies, Challenges and Future Prospects.

Abstract: Pervaporation (PV) has been considered as one of the most active and promising areas in membrane technologies in separating close boiling or azeotropic liquid mixtures, heat sensitive biomaterials, water or organics from its mixtures that are indispensable constituents for various important chemical and bio-separations. In the PV process, the membrane plays the most pivotal role and is of paramount importance in governing the overall efficiency. This article evaluates and collaborates the current research towards the development of next generation nanomaterials (NMs) and embedded polymeric membranes with regard to its synthesis, fabrication and application strategies, challenges and future prospects.

The dark energy equation of state

Abstract: We perform a study of cosmic evolution with an equation of state parameter ω(t) = ω 0 +ω 1 (tH/H˙ ) by selecting a phenomenological Λ model of the form, Λ˙ ∼ H 3 . This simpleproposition explains both linearly expanding and inflation ary Universes with a single set ofequations. We notice that the inflation leads to a scaling in t he equation of state parameter,ω(t), and hence in equation of state. In this approach, one of its two parameters have been pinpointed and the other have been delineated. It has been possible to show a connection betweendark energy and Higgs-Boson.Key words: gravitation - cosmological parameters - cosmology: theory- early Universe. 1 INTRODUCTIONCosmological research is mainly concerned with time (and in somecases space as well) evolution of various physical parameters likescale factor, Hubble parameter, matter-energy density etc. Alongwith these parameters, in recent years a new physical entity Λ hasresurrected in the foreground of cosmology. In fact, Λ has becomean essential part of the field equations of Einstein after som e ob-servational results (Riess et al. 1998; Perlmutter et al. 1999) indi-cated towards an accelerating Universe. It is believed by most ofthe physicists that the cosmological parameter Λ is responsible fordriving the present acceleration because it can exert negative pres-sure. Moreover, due to some fine-tuning problem (known as cos-mological constant problem), Λ is regarded as a variable quantityrather than a constant.Now, in order to specify exact time-dependence of the un-known physical quantities including Λ, one has to take recourse ofa relationship between cosmic pressure p and matter-energy den-sity ρ involving the equation of state parameter ω. Mathemati-cally speaking, one variable quantity can depend on the productof two other variable quantities. So, one may construct ω as a func-tion of time, red-shift or scale factor (Chervon & Zhuravlev2000;Zhuravlev 2001; Peebles & Ratra 2003). In fact, values of ω at dif-ferent stages of cosmic evolution suggest that it may evolve withtime. As an instance, for the present pressure-less Universe, thevalue of ω is considered as zero, whereas its value was 1/3 in theearly radiation dominated Universe. However, it is convenient toconsider ω as a constant quantity because observational data canhardly distinguish between a varying and a constant equation of

The dark energy equation of state

Abstract: We perform a study of cosmic evolution with an equation of state parameter $\omega(t)=\omega_0+\omega_1(t\dot H/H)$ by selecting a phenomenological $\Lambda$ model of the form, $\dot\Lambda\sim H^3$. This simple proposition explains both linearly expanding and inflationary Universes with a single set of equations. We notice that the inflation leads to a scaling in the equation of state parameter, $\omega(t)$, and hence in equation of state. In this approach, one of its two parameters have been pin pointed and the other have been delineated. It has been possible to show a connection between dark energy and Higgs-Boson.
