Title: Innovations of Krishna Simhan in Chemical Vapor Deposition

Introduction

Krishna Simhan is an accomplished inventor based in Fischbach, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of chemical vapor deposition, particularly in the application of metal oxide coatings. With a total of 2 patents, his work has advanced the technology used in various industrial applications.

Latest Patents

One of Krishna Simhan's latest patents focuses on the chemical vapor deposition of coatings. This innovation involves applying a metal oxide coating to a hot glass surface by contacting it with a mixture of carrier air, vaporized solvent, and a vaporized metal-containing reactant. The mixture is directed against the glass through an elongated, converging slot-nozzle, which has an increasing radius of curvature towards the exit end. This process is optimized for a Reynolds number exceeding 2500, with the nozzle-to-glass spacing being at least 1.25 times the characteristic dimension of the nozzle.

Another notable patent is the vapor deposition nozzle, which also applies a metal oxide coating to a hot glass surface. In this case, the mixture is directed through an elongated converging nozzle that has a contraction ratio of six or greater. The walls of the nozzle are shaped with increasing radii of curvature, allowing the fluid flowing adjacent to the walls to be accelerated substantially throughout its passage.
