I am delighted to be a part of NABARD’s celebrations of its completion of thirty years. This is
a special occasion for NABARD, of course; but also a special occasion for the Reserve Bank…

Particles in gas–solid flows aggregate to move as “clusters” and simultaneously develop
gas “voids” free of particles. A model for gas–solid flow in risers considering the presence of …
