Abstract:
I explore how knowledge was created and circulated in and between the settlements of the early English East India Company. I aim: to demonstrate connections between scholarship and early colonialism; to highlight the role of non-elite actors in transferring skills and techniques; and to map global knowledge networks based on systems of patronage that cut across national, ethnic, and social boundaries. Chapter 1 uses the life of Samuel Baron, a half-Dutch, half-Vietnamese factor, spy, and broker for the EIC, client of the rulers of Siam and Tonkin, and author of the Description of Tonqueen to examine the importance of passeurs culturels or go-betweens to both the European trading companies and Asian rulers in the period and their role in transmitting geographical and ethnographic information. Chapter 2 examines the local and international botanical and medical networks of two Company surgeons in Madras, based on collections in the Natural History Museum and the surgeons' correspondence with the apothecary James Petiver. Chapter 3 looks in detail at the development of English scholarship on the Malay language: moving from wordlists and manuscript grammars to the first bilingual English-Malay dictionary, published in 1701. I use the texts to examine the early Company's policies of language-learning and teaching and the theoretical and practical basis of linguistic projects in the period. Chapter 4 follows the movement of a travel text, Robert Knox's Historical Relation of Ceylon, with its author on a series of later voyages. I explore the practical uses of such texts to inform bio-prospecting and the transplantation of crops in the Company's search for island bases in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Chapter 5 examines slaves' roles in the transmission of botanical, medical, and cultural knowledge between the 'plantations' of St Helena (South Atlantic) and Bencoulen (Sumatra), through both their work and their resistance.

Abstract:
Between 1766 and 1773 issues related to the East India Company were a dominant theme in British politics: in 1767 and 1772-3 there were major parliamentary inquiries into the affairs of the Company. This thesis is a study of why this was so. It is a study of the response of politicians and those within the Company to the changing nature of British activity in India. Attention is focussed upon two legislative bodies: Parliament and the General Court of the Company. Such an approach is necessary as much of the East Indian legislation enacted during this period originated in the General Court. The nature of this political proceHS is reflected in the organization of the thesis. Part one is devoted to a consideration of the political structure and decision-making machinery of the Company. Particular attention has been given to the factional struggle for control of the Company, and to the growth of a ministerial 'interest' in the executive body, the Court of Directors. Part two is a study of the intrusion of Company issues into parliamentary politics. It is argued that shortcomings in the Pratt-Yorke legal opinion of 1757 conditioned the nature of parliamentary intervent ions into the Company's affairs. The motives behind, and scope of, the first inquiry of 1767 are examined, as are the failures to reform the Company between 1768 and 1772. Finally, in the wake of the financial crisis of 1772, detailed consideration is given to the second parliamentary inquiry and the passage of Lord North's East Indian legislation in 1773.

Abstract:
The grant of the diwani to the East India Company in August 1765 represents a climacteric moment in British imperial histories. Vested by the Mughal Emperor Shah Allam II, this newfound right to collect revenue saddled the Company with the broader and formal economic, judicial and military responsibilities of a territorial empire. Wherefore, in the era of post-Mughal political splintering, the EIC, as an emerging subcontinental state had to contend with internal revolts abetted by ethno-religious and socio-economic crises, but also because of threats posed by the Kingdom of Mysore and the Maratha Confederacy. Nevertheless, in the midst of the American Revolution, the EIC’s contentious and contested conduct of imperial governance in India became an ideological, philosophical and pragmatic point of domestic and imperial contention. Thus, confronted with the simultaneous internal and external implications of the crises of Empire between 1765 and 1788, the role of the Company’s fiscal-military administration and exercise of violence within the spheres British imperial governance was reconceptualised and in doing so contemporaries underwrote the emergence of what historians have subsequently called the ‘Second British Empire’ in India. Alternatively, the reconceptualisation of the EIC’s fiscal-military administration served to ensure the continuity and preservation of the British imperial nexus as it was imposed upon Bengal. This work, therefore, traces the Company’s fiscal-military administration and dispensation of violence during the ‘crises of empire’ as a point of genesis in the development and reformation of British imperial governance. Moreover, it will show that the interdependent nature of the Company’s ‘fiscal-military hybridity’ ultimately came to underwrite further the ideological, philosophical and pragmatic consolidation of imperial governance in ‘British India’. Accordingly, this dissertation examines the interdependent role between Parliament’s reconceptualisation of the East India Company’s fiscal-military administration of violence and the changing nature of British imperial governance in ‘British India’.

Abstract:
This study's purpose is to locate, select and separate out from the wider India Office Records, the extensive archives of the East India Company and its supervisory state body, the Board of Control, those classes, series, volumes and documents which contain sources on the history of the southern African region. 'Southern Africa' is taken to be the region including those countries which form modern South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Botswana, Swaziland, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Angola and Mozambique. An extensive survey of the archives was undertaken to address the previous lack of investigation of these sources. The analysis and synthesis of the survey seeks to explain why the sources are there, their extent, and what they are about. The study aims to draw researchers' attention to the range and depth of the sources in these archives, spanning the period of the combined existence of the East India Company (1600-1858) and the Board of Control (1784-1858). The finding aid produced from the survey results aims to improve accessibility to and facilitate greater use of these archives. The thesis begins with a brief description of the context - the history and organisation of the East India Company and the Board of Control. It then focuses on the Company's interest in southern Africa, particularly its agencies at the Cape of Good Hope (1793- 1858). A general presentation of the evolution, arrangement and extent of the India Office Records follows. This leads into a core discussion of sources contained within the relevant classes of the archives. The appendix comprises a detailed descriptive listing of the East India Company's archives on southern Africa. The listing presents the results of the survey of these disparate records in an intellectually accessible form, in order to submit an extensive body of evidence in support of the main part of the study.

Abstract:
Generations of historians have looked to Bengal, Bombay, and Madras to detect the emergence of the legal and administrative mechanisms that would underpin Britain’s nineteenth-century empire. Yet this focus on ‘British’ India overshadows the very different history of nearly half the Indian subcontinent, which was still ruled by nominally independent monarchs. This dissertation traces the increasingly asymmetrical relationships between the East India Company and neighbouring Indian kingdoms during a period of intensive British imperial expansion, from 1798 to 1818. In so doing, it sheds fresh light on the contested process through which the Company consolidated its political predominance over rival Indian powers, setting a precedent for indirect rule that would inform British policy in Southeast Asia and Africa for years to come. The relationship between the Company and Indian governments was mediated through the figure of the Resident, the Company’s political representative at Indian courts, and the Residents therefore lie at the heart of this dissertation. Given their geographical distance from British administrative centres and their immersion in Indian political culture, the Residents’ experiences can be used to chart the growing pains of an expanding, modernizing empire, and to elucidate the dynamics of cross-cultural interaction and exchange. Based on the letters and papers of the dozen Residents stationed at major Indian courts, this dissertation shows how practical and ideological divisions within the Company regarding the appropriate forms of imperial influence were exacerbated by mutual suspicions resulting from geographical distance and the blurring of personal and public interests in the diplomatic line. This process was further complicated and constrained by the Residents’ reliance on the social and cultural capital of Indian elites and administrators with interests of their own. The Company’s consolidation of political influence at Indian courts was fraught with problems, and the five thematic chapters reflect recurring points of conflict which thread their way through these formative years. These include: the fragility of information networks and the proliferation of rumours; questions about the use of force and the applicability of the law of nations outside Europe; controversies surrounding political pageantry and conspicuous consumption; ambivalent relationships between Residents and their Indian state secretaries; and the Residents’ embroilment in royal family feuds. Ultimately, this dissertation concludes that the imposition of imperial authority at Indian courts was far from smooth, consisting instead of a messy and protracted series of practical experiments based on many competing visions of the ideal forms of influence to be employed in India.

Abstract:
Earlier research has claimed that the British officer corps did not go through professionalization until the emergence of institutionalized education for military officers in the 19th century. This study argues that British officers in service of the East India Company in India showed signs of professionalization before 1800, contrary to earlier claims. The theoretical framework is composed in many respects by opposite roles of the officer, representing the pre-paradigm ideal of “the fighting man” and the post-paradigm role of the professional and bureaucrat. By processing letters, official documents and accounts on armed conflicts in India using digital methods, verbs performed by military officers have been extracted, categorized and analysed to find patterns in their actions. From these patterns conclusions have been drawn about the different roles of the officer, and how they relate to officers as fighting men as well as professionals. The results show that officers had roles regarding movement, employment, subordination, independence, non-military roles regarding military law and diplomacy, being gentlemen, advancement, skill and showed significant indications of the a priori roles of fighting men, bureaucrats and professionals.

This technical paper presents the approach adopted by Kuwait Oil Company to establish an integrated Crude Oil Export Pipeline simulation model in South & East Kuwait area to achieve increase in overall asset-wide production and to improve future Pipeline & Facilities Design. The simulation used As-Built pipeline data along with field data to achieve the objectives of the study. The study had the following objectives: • Identify additional capacity/ deficiency within the system. • Perform Hydraulic Calculations (Pressure losses, Temperature Changes & Estimation of Pumping requirements from Gathering Centers). • Determination of operating constraints/bottlenecks due to non-availability of any critical pipe segments. • Optimization of Network. Accuracy of the pipeline model was verified by comparing simulation results of the existing pipelines & Manifolds with the operating data to confirm that model results duplicated field measurements. The model developed in this study has the characteristics and the ability to predict the flows and pressures under wide range of conditions — including various operational modes and constraints. The model accurately predicted the capacities and also raised few flags which were solved within short time and subsequently the network was optimized. Hydraulics study revealed that no additional capacity or looping were required. Model was studied for reliability of supply under wide range of conditions subject to potential bottlenecks and constraints which were identified in the study.

Abstract The company Petrogas E&P was established in 1999 by acquiring onshore block 7 in Oman. Over 23 years, Petrogas E&P has continuously grown by acquiring several blocks in Oman, India, Mozambique, Egypt, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and in the United Kingdom. The main operations are in Oman, Netherlands and in the UK. Since 2007, Petrogas is the operator of Rima Cluster small fields in southern Oman. Artificial lift, mainly rod driven Progressive Cavity Pumps (PCPs) and Beam Pumps (BPs), is required to produce oil with an average specific gravity of 21 °API to surface. Parted rods are the main reasons of well failures and rods present the weakest part of the completion. Some of the wells in Petrogas Rima show high angles of inclination, complex trajectories and certain levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) & carbon dioxide (CO2). Completion failures due to parted rods lead to production deferment and workover interventions because of required rod string replacement. In general, sucker rods are made of a certain grade of steel and these steels are prone to corrosion in an aggressive environment due to the presence of carbon dioxide and sulfide in the crude oil. A coating solution for sucker rods and couplings was implemented to reduce the influence of corrosive environment in some wells. The lower coefficient of friction resulting from the coating reduces the abrasion between the coupling and the tubing. In that way, the risk of tubing holes can be reduced. After a coating solution was implemented in selected problematic wells, the rod run life could in average been tripled with no failures observed as of this writing.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the design concepts of Dutch siege fortifications and the VOC's siege practices in Asia in the 17th century. In terms of "the design concepts of Dutch siege fortifications," mainly based on the theoretical work OF BESIEGING TOWNS AND FORTRESSES (Vant Belegherin Der Steden en Sterckten), written by Simon Stevin (1548-1620), a Dutch military engineer. Stevin had served in the Dutch army as a military advisor to Prince Maurice of Nassau (1585-1625), co-planning a number of sieges. Moreover, he was designated to found the engineering school at Leiden University. Thus, Stevin's works reflect the tactics and design concepts of sieges in the 16th-17th centuries. Regarding "the VOC's siege practices in Asia," mainly derived from the establishment of the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, abbreviated as the VOC) in 1602. Its purposes were not only to gather wealth but also to attack the power of Spain and Portugal. The government empowered the VOC with the rights to recruit troops, purchase quality guns and cannons, and even represent the country to declare war or make peace with the flags of red, white, and blue. As a result, the globe-wide expansion of the VOC led to several sieges in Asia, as well as cross-cultural military exchanges between Europe and Asia.

Abstract:
The creation of the Duqm Naval Dockyard (DND) Joint Venture between Babcock International Group and the Oman Drydock Company (ODC) in November 2016 was quickly followed by company incorporation in June 2017. DND combines the well-honed skill sets of ODC and Babcock to establish a focussed warship repair and maintenance facility within the broader commercial Port of Duqm. The latter serves as a secure logistics and supply hub in a deep water port adjacent to the dockyard. Thus, in one location, Duqm provides the facilities of both a naval base and a naval dockyard. This combination has been successfully tested through a number of contracts to date, and the UK-Omani bilateral defence exercise, Saif Sareea, in the autumn of 2018, successfully tested the UK’s concept of ‘Defence Hub Duqm’. In the last 6 months, both the UK , and the US Governments have signed Defence and Strategic agreements with the Sultanate which specifically mention the importance of a repair and logistics hub at Duqm. The dockyard has state of the art infrastructure, with two graving docks capable of docking Ultra Large Crude Carriers and Warships. Since June 2017, DND has completed a number of successful and complex repairs on warships and auxiliaries from both the USN and the RN, including the complex drydocking and repair of a US Military Sealift Command aluminium catamaran. DND is now being looked at by a number of navies as an ideal maintenance and repair hub for their operations in the Middle East and beyond. A deep-water, purpose built facility, Duqm sits astride the ‘Global Energy Interstate’ of the Indian Ocean and Gulf. Ships utilising Duqm can access the Straits of Hormuz, the Bab El Mendaab and Gulf of Aden, and the East African seaboard with ease. Equally, ships at Duqm have easy access to the Gulf of Arabia without being tied to maintenance and repair facilities within the Gulf itself. The location of the port also offers unrivalled force protection and security for visiting warships. Looking ahead, the intention for both ODC and DND is to embark on a shipbuilding programme at the repair yard, to include the construction of offshore support vessels and warships. This will be the first such facility in the Sultanate, and aligns with the latter’s Five Pillars of Economic Diversification , in which Duqm (and SEZAD) will play such an important part.

Abstract:
Abstract The demand for wind turbines has increased ever since fossil fuels showed signs of quick depletion. Among wind turbines, Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) is compact, produces less noise, is omnidirectional, resilient to turbulent flow, and is easy to maintain. The power generated by a VAWT is a function of a non-dimensional geometric parameter known as solidity (s), which is a function of turbine diameter (D), blade chord (c) and the number of blades (n). The present work analyses the impact of solidity (0.12 and 0.18) as a complete non-dimensional parameter on wind turbine performance. Each parameter of solidity is varied, keeping any one of the parameters constant and numerically studied for its performance across a range of tip speed ratios (TSR). For each solidity, six different combinations of VAWT geometric parameters were analyzed. In all the cases, the chord Reynolds number is kept constant. CFD simulation was performed on the Darrieus H-type (NACA0018 airfoil) VAWT. Two dimensional (2D) computational domains are used to study the effect on the turbine’s performance as the solidity studied is less than 0.4. Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-strokes (URANS) equation is used to solve the CFD model using ANSYS Fluent 19.1 with 4-equation transition SST k-ω for turbulence modelling. The comprehensive study of the turbine performance keeping the turbine operation within a constant Re number range shows the Coefficient of Performance (Cp) overlaps for a given solidity.

Abstract:
Abstract The advantages of renewable energy sources are available freely in nature, inexhaustible, produce either no or little pollution and low gestation period. Among all renewable energy sources, wind energy has become one of the leading resources for power production in the world as well as in the India. According to WWEA, the wind turbine installation capacity in the world has been reached over 539.291GW by the end of 2017. The entire wind power installed capacity by the end of 2017 covers more than 5% of global demand of electricity. In India, the present wind power installation capacity on October, 2017 was over 32.7GW and wind energy contribution is 55% of the total renewable energy capacity in the country. Inspite of having sharp growth rate in wind in India, only a fraction of wind energy has been tapped until now out of 302 GW wind potential which is available above 100 m height on shore. Practical horizontal axis wind turbine converts kinetic energy in the wind into useful energy by using airfoil blades. Blade element momentum (BEM) theory becomes very popular due to its simplicity in mathematical calculation as well as accuracy. Hydraulic pitch actuation system has certain advantages due to its versatility, ability to produce constant force and torque irrespective of the disturbances outside of the system, ease and accuracy of control, simplicity, safety and economy. In the present study a semi rotary actuator has been utilized for turbine pitch actuation. In order to extract maximum power from available wind, fractional order PID controller (FOPID) has been developed for pitch control of wind turbine rotor blade. The performances of PID as well as FOPID controller have been compared with available wind data. The performance of FOPID controller was satisfactory compare to PID controller.

Abstract:
Gas Turbine engine components like Combustor, Diffuser, and Turbines are subjected to very high temperatures. Predicting accurate temperatures of such components demand accurate Radiation modeling along with Conduction and Convection. Radiation heat transfer modeling is very complex due to non linear dependence on temperature and additional parameters driving the heat transfer like shape factor, emissivity, surface area and absorbtivity of material. The commercial software ANSYS developed various Radiation techniques like ‘Radiation Matrix’, ‘Radiosity’ and ‘Radiation modeling between a surface and a point’. A detailed study has been carried out to compare different Radiation models. The ease of building the model, computational time, accuracy, and limitations are thoroughly examined. It is found that all existing methods have some limitations in accuracy, computational time or system requirements. To overcome some of these limitations, a new technique called ‘Surface Effect Element Method’ is proposed in this paper. This method uses ‘Radiosity’ for the shape factor computation and ‘Radiation modeling between a surface and a point’ for modeling Radiation between two surfaces. The average of one surface temperature is transferred to a single point which in turn is used to model the Radiation to the second surface and the same procedure is repeated for the second surface too. A detailed study is carried out and the proposed technique is compared against the available methods. The new technique enables accurate computation of transient temperatures for gas turbine components leading to accurate life prediction for these components. It is shown that ‘Surface Effect Element Method’ has comparable accuracy but significantly lower cycle time and efforts compared to existing methods.
