Phase Change Materials (PCM) exhibit a thermal storage property by their latent heat of fusion. These PCMs absorb heat energy from the source and they undergo a change of phase and release the stored heat energy to the application when required. This research work focuses on utilizing this property of PCMs to store heat energy from a steam source from a Parabolic Trough Collector, and the output from such a Thermal Energy Storage Unit could be used for steam cooking. This research work selects the optimum Phase Change Material to suit the heating application and virtually simulates the performance of various configurations of Thermal Storage heat exchangers and finds the optimum number of passes for steam flow using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach.

‘Technology Journalism’ is a rarely uttered term, but lives in day to day use, disguised in other forms of journalism. In an era where Sitcom series like ‘Silicon Valley’ (A HBO series which portrays events in the lives of five young men who try to start a tech company) getting quite positive responses from viewers all over the world, it is the necessity of journalists to focus more on technology journalism, rather than making fundamental reviews. Technology journalism must focus not just in reviews about new gadgets in the industry, must also play a key infotainment role. Despite several cherishing moments in this genre, the realm of technology journalism is not a bed of roses. It requires several prerequisites to efficiently carry out technology journalism. In the case of the automobile industry in India, technology journalism needs to be leveraged in a different way. With the market for automobile varying, magazines like Autocar India,  WhatCar?, BiKe India and many more play a major role in taking the evolving technology to the common man. With the interests of common man revolving around lifestyle management, such magazines definitely improve the choice of customers. Hence technology journalism in the automobile industry is crucial. This article drives through fundamental technology journalism for automobile industries highlighting key aspects of the genre. This article has also thrown light into unnecessary paradigms being in practice in technology journalism and also emphasizes on pedagogy and paradigm-free journalism. This article might be ambiguous, but it is necessary to be specific and to achieve a non-agathokakological compose.

The fluid power industry is engrossed with numerous applications befitting to pumps. Concocting experimental plans for investigations on innovative pumps require meticulous drafting and candor infused veracity. But if we stay to ground reality, contemporary technological advancement must also be taken into for the design of experiments. It is through fending contemporary literature and writings, that any scholar will be able to design an innovative experimental plan. In this article, the experimental findings from an innovative centrifugal pump have been discussed. The camaraderie between the experimental plan and the experimental results has been eviscerated, introducing the concept of accentuated parameters. The camaraderie is ascribed to the accentuated parameter. It is through the selection and utilization of certain accentuated parameters; any experimental finding can be scoured. This article illustrates the use of accentuated parameters and their effect on the findings.
