APPLICATIONS OF RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY ON MULLITE FORMATION FROM RED SEDIMENT PLACER SILLIMANITE USING MICROWAVE ENERGY

This paper deals with the applications of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) on the effect of microwave heat treatment for mullite formation from placer sillimanite. The results of these investigations reveal that RSM data obtained from microwave heat treatment studies show that there is 92.55% of mullite formation under optimized conditions with composite charge material having 40% Al2O3, 60% sillimanite, with additive 60% SiC and 10% binder. The confirmatory experimental data of RSM optimised conditions also suggest that there is 97% of mullite formation using microwave heat treatment.

F.MIS-SIM 1.0: A Program For Simulation Of Metal-Insulating-Si(N) Photovoltaic Structures

A simulation program for MIS photovoltaic cells has been developed under «Visual Basic 5» language that will be a useful tool for the researchers working on this type of structures. This Microsoft Windows based program can be used to analyse individual cells especially the effect of physical and geometrical parameters, heating and illuminating on the solar cell performance. This paper describes the simulation program and illustrates its versatility.
