A passive suspension system is used by the automotive industry to control the motion of the vehicle. Nowadays, semiactive and active suspension systems are a requirement of commercial vehicles to improve performance characteristics and road comfort. The objective of the paper is to present a comprehensive analysis of passive, semiactive, and active suspension systems. The fuzzy logic controller is used to present the active suspension system. The characteristic of the shock absorber (damper) is non-linear and hysteresis in nature. Hence, a Magneto-rheological (MR) damper-based Bouc-Wen model is utilized to present the semiactive suspension. The comparative analysis of vehicle suspension characteristics has been carried out by using a bump road profile. The modeling of the Bouc-Wen model and quarter car system is carried out in the Simulink environment. The simulated results show that the semiactive and active suspension systems can be a better option for vehicle suspension systems to provide passengers with road comfort.

When the source for the energy-momentum tensor is a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings, a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-V cosmological model is considered in this paper in a scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez-Ballester, we derive a determinate solution utilizing the plausible physical conditions: (i) the scalar of spacetime expansion is proportional to the shear scalar; (ii) the baratropic equation of state for pressure and density; and (iii) the bulk viscous pressure is related to the energy density. The model's physical and kinematic features are also discussed.

In this study, different sizes (25, 50, and 75 µm) and volume fractions (1, 2, and 3 wt%) of calcined eggshell particles were utilized to strengthen the Al-Si-Mg alloy. Several experimental runs were conducted to assess the impact of particle size and concentration on both physical properties (density, corrosion, and thermal conductivity) and mechanical properties (hardness, yield strength, impact energy, and modulus of elasticity). The findings revealed significant enhancements in hardness (21 %), yield strength (61 %), modulus of elasticity (43 %), and thermal conductivity (34 %). Conversely, a reduction of 62 % in impact strength and 8 % in density was observed. The corrosion rate displayed an increase from 0 to 16.67 mpy. Analysis using XRD and XRF techniques identified CaO and Al2O3 as the primary constituents of the eggshell. Optical micrographs consistently showed cored (segregated) dendritic structures typical of castings cooled under normal conditions in the Al-Si-Mg composite. SEM micrographs, EDS spectra, and area analyses confirmed a uniform distribution of Calcined Eggshell Particles (CEP) within the composite films. Additionally, an optimal calcination condition for the eggshell particles was determined to be 900 °C for 2.5 h, resulting in a CaO yield of 99.62 %.

The mitigation of mild steel corrosion in 1.0 M H2SO4 solution by trimethoprim drug as a green and commercially available inhibitor was studied at room temperature using weight loss, open circuit potential, and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The results showed that the investigated compound's inhibition efficiency depended on the concentration and nature of the inhibitor. The inhibition efficiency was found to increase with the concentration of the inhibitor. The polarization result indicated that the compound behaved as mix type inhibitor. The inhibition is assumed to occur via physical adsorption of inhibitor on the metal surface, which obeyed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) results confirmed the formation of a protective layer on the mild steel surface.

A novel adsorbent-activated carbon-loaded cellulose composite bead (AC-CCB) was synthesized by sol-gel conversion for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDAX). The maximum dye removal was found to be 96.5, 92.3, and 81.8 %, corresponding to MB concentrations of 25, 50, and 100 mgL-1, respectively. Isotherm and the kinetic study were carried out with an AC-CCB dose of 1.0 g L-1, a shaking speed of 125 rpm, and the initial MB concentration ranging from 25-100 mg L-1. In order to study the kinetics of MB adsorption onto AC-CCB, the temperature was fixed at 298 K, whereas, for the isotherm study, the temperature varied from 298 to 318 K. The process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics with rate constant (k2) 28.7x10-2, 11.1x10-2 and 9.41x10-2 g.mg.min-1 corresponding to MB concentration of 25, 50 and 100 mg L-1. Freundlich, Langmuir, and Sips models were found to fit well with the adsorption data. The negative values and the positive values suggested that the adsorption of MB onto AC-CCB was spontaneous and endothermic.

Excessive water production in the oil field is the major difficulty in production for the petroleum industry. Remedial techniques need to be applied to control this excess water production considering the health, safety, and environmental issues and improve the reservoir's economic and productive life. In this study polymer gel system comprising the polymer partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA) and organic cross-linkers (Hydroquinone and Hexamethylene tetramine) were prepared as a water shut-off system to control the excessive production of water in the oil field. The effect of various parameters such as temperature, pH, cross-linker concentration, degree of hydrolysis, and divalent cations on gelation time was investigated using the bottle testing method. The importance of retarders at high temperatures was also evaluated. The gelation temperature was varied from 90 °C to 120 °C to study the effect of different parameters on the gelation time and gel behavior. This study suggests that Partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide (PHPA) with organic cross-linkers can be an effective polymer gel system for water shut-off operations, and with the addition of retarders at high temperature to control gelation time, the performance of the gel can be improved.

The present study assessed the nationwide lockdown impacts on the air pollution situation across West Bengal, India. Air pollution data was collected from the online monitoring stations of the Central Pollution Control Board across West Bengal. The gradual declining pattern of overall pollution status was observed during the lockdown phase from the pre-lockdown phase. The early unlocking stage found slow and gradual increasing air pollution levels. Siliguri’s pre-lockdown ‘poor’ Air Quality Index (AQI) improved in the lockdown phase to ‘satisfactory’ level. ‘Moderate’ level AQI in Asansol of the pre-lockdown stage improved to ‘satisfactory’ level during the lockdown phase. Pre-lockdown AQI of both Kolkata and Howrah changed from ‘moderate’ to ‘good’ level during the lockdown phase. Unlike other pollutants, the ozone level increased in Kolkata, Howrah, and Siliguri in the lockdown phase. The early monsoonal washout possibly caused the changes in the pattern of pollution status of specified periods in the 2019 and 2020. Thus, in the study period of lockdown in 2020, the decrease in pollution level may not only caused by the stoppage of vehicles or industry but also have a possible natural influence.

We report the structural, morphological, and electrochemical properties of polypyrrole (PPy), copper doped PPy (Cu/PPy), and copper doped polypyrrole multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Cu/PPy/MWCTs) prepared by oxidative polymerization technique. The incorporation of Cu in the form of nanoparticles in the composites was confirmed from XRD data. The granular morphology of PPy was observed from the FESEM micrograph. However, the size of the grains was decreased with Cu nanoparticle insertion in the matrix. The uniform distribution of Cu nanoparticles in the Cu/PPy and Cu/PPy/MWCTs nanocomposites has been evidenced from TEM images. The highest specific capacitance of 311 F/g at a scan rate of 10 mV/s is achieved in the case of Cu/PPy/MWCTs composite. It is found that the cyclic stability of these nanocomposites is enhanced due to the integration of MWCNTS and Cu nanoparticles with PPy polymer. The Cu/PPy/MWCNTs nanocomposites retained 91% of their specific capacitance even after 1000 cycles. The maximum energy density of 19.89 Wh/kg and maximum power density of 4479.71 W/kg at the scan rate of 200 mV/s were also measured for the Cu/PPy/MWCNTs nanocomposite. Our study thus indicates that the prepared Cu/PPy/MWCTs nanocomposite could be a potential candidate for application in supercapacitor and hybrid type storing devices.
