Petroleum-based products are the major source of energy for industry and daily life. The technology commonly used for the soil remediation includes mechanical, burying, evaporation, dispersion, and washing. However, these Technologies are expensive and can lead to incomplete decomposition of contaminants (Zaid A. Pirzada.2015) The Bioremediation... Continue Reading

An induction or asynchronous motor is a type of AC motor where power is supplied to the rotor by means of electromagnetic induction, rather than by slip rings and commutators as in slip-ring AC motors. Single phase induction motor is the most familiar of all electric motors & they are similar to a 3-phase squirrel cage induction motor. It... Continue Reading
