Specialty and high performance films are thin films made from various polymers, such as polyester, fluoropolymer and polycarbonate. These films are different from conventional films as they exhibit excellent barrier properties, high tensile strength, chemical stability and resistance to heat and impact. Growing packaging industry for food and non-food products is expected to be one of the key factors driving the growth of specialty and high performance films market. In addition, the growing demand for photovoltaic (PV) systems which converts sunlight into usable energy is another key factor affecting the demand for these films. However, volatility in prices of crude oil which consequently affects the prices of its downstream chemicals is expected to hamper the specialty and high performance films market adversely. Development and commercialization of biodegradable and water soluble films is expected to open future markets for specialty and high performance films over the near future.

Biochar is a solid material that is obtained from the carbonization of biomass. It is added to soil to enhance soil quality and reduce emissions through carbon sequestration. The use of biochar for carbon sequestration is believed to offset carbon emissions from natural and industrial processes. Biochar also improves water quality by retaining the agrochemicals and soil nutrients that could have mixed with water and caused water pollution. In addition to carbon sequestration and soil amendment, sustainable biochar practices can yield products that can be used as a fuel.

Nuclear turbine is an essential component of a nuclear turbine island. For the pressurized water reactor, the usual design of the steam turbine entails an in-line combination of three low-pressure turbines and one high-pressure turbine. The turbines are designed as double flow system, with steam entering at the center and flowing to the ends. The steam passes through the control stage and a number of reaction stages, converting thermal energy to mechanical energy. The high moisture content in the steam exiting the high-pressure turbine usually reduces on passing through the stages of reheat and moisture separation. The low-pressure turbine is provided with moisture separator-reheater (MSR) units in parallel. After passing though the moisture separator section, the wet steam returns to steam generators.
