Shale gas is a type of unconventional gas trapped within organic-rich shale formations. It is the most common form of sedimentary rock found in the deposits all over the world. Shale gas is extracted through a decent combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing that allows an appropriate volume of shale gas to be produced in certain ways. Shale is highly distinguished by being soft and extremely fissile. In addition to it being the richest source of fossil depositions, shale also carries a number of ornamental and practical uses in the market. It is available in an array of colors whereby, some are dark that they are almost black, while some others may be brown, greenish, bluish, or cream – all depending on the precise composition of the rock.

Smart materials are defined as a class of reactive materials that changes some of its properties in response to change in the external environment. Several smart materials possess different properties that can be changed. These materials sense the change in the external environment and respond to it by changing their properties in order to adapt to the surroundings. The response of smart materials varies, depending on the chemical structure. For instance, piezo-electric materials produce electricity when mechanical stress is applied, whereas shape memory returns to its original upon change in temperature.

The concept of smart railways has evolved from the growing adoption of new generation services and advanced transportation management systems, enabled using Information Technology (IT) solutions. The future railways industry is anticipated to rely upon smart systems that will help leverage technologies for optimal utilization and management of the huge railway infrastructure. It combines software products to enable more intelligent use of railway assets, so that companies can meet the increasing demand for safer and reliable railway services.

Global energy demand had seen an exponential growth over the decade due to changing lifestyle. At the time when natural gas prices witnessing fluctuation and coal resources are depleting, the world is witnessing a significant gap between demand and supply of energy. Though as per World Coal Association, global coal reserves are estimated to be 861 tonne and accounts to 42% of total world electricity production; the year on year growth for coal consumption was highest in FY 2013, making it the highest since 1970. The demand for coal consumption is increasing every year thereby leading to depletion of coal reserves at an alarming rate. Moreover, most regions are economically unviable to extract coal from its bed. It is due to this reason that companies are looking for alternative solution that can lead to harnessing the total potential of coal, without disturbing the ecological balance.

Under the purview of energy, coal bed methane primarily refers to the natural gas or methane recovery from un-mined coal seams and adjacent sandstones. Such methane recovery usually occurs prior to mining, whereas in some cases, coal seams remain un-mined and methane recovery from such sites is known as virgin coal bed methane. Coal bed methane recovery from un-mined coal mines is of strategic importance as absolute or maximum drainage of the methane seam is necessary to avoid the risk of explosion as well as mitigate the emission of methane in the atmosphere from coal mining operations. From the estimated global coal bed methane reserve of about 4,000 Tcf to 5,000 Tcf, about 20% to 25% is recoverable.

Pearlescent pigments are fluorescent or phosphorescent-based pigments, also known as shine pigments. The basic difference between a pigment and dye is that a pigment is insoluble in water and most solvents, while dyes are soluble in liquids. Pigment coated surfaces are more resistant than dye coated surfaces. Pearlescent pigments exhibit pearl like shine when applied on surfaces and coated with metallic oxide or mica. These pigments have a transparent appearance and higher refractive coefficient. Inherent properties of these pigments include high resistance to acid, temperature and ultraviolet radiations. Unique properties of these materials make them suitable for use across a wide array of applications. Addition of pearlescent pigment in any colour produces different visual effects or metallic shade finish, which makes them highly preferable in the coatings industry.

Water-proofing is making an object virtually impervious to water. Water-proof coatings help objects remain unaffected by water and resist the ingress of water under specified conditions. Such items can be used in wet environments and under water to specified depths. Objects applied with waterproof coatings are resistant to penetration by water and wetting. Water-proof coatings have applications in various industries such as building & construction, automobiles, furniture and chemical industries among others.

According to the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) also known as German Institute of Standardization, corrosion is the physical interaction between a metal and its environment that results in changes of the metal's properties and which may lead to significant functional impairment of the metal, the environment or the technical system of which they form a part. Corrosion damage is a phenomenon that causes impairment of the metal function, environment or the technical system. Corrosion damage is characterized by the complete loss of operational capability of the technical system. Corrosion doesn't occur as linear abrasion, but in versatile forms of appearance. It is mainly caused due to the environmental factors which include air, soil and water. Corrosion protection is therefore needed to minimize the expenses for costly repetitive maintenance measures. Corrosion protective coatings are therefore used to avoid protect metal from degradation due to moist air, oxidation, salt spray and exposure to various industrial and environmental chemicals.

The generic term for heat transfer liquids are known as thermic fluid. The heat transfer liquids are used to add or remove heat from one part to another part of the process wherever heat is added.
