High-performance composite reverse osmosis hollow fibre membranes have been recently produced. These membranes have maximum salt recovery 98,1% and permeability 1.2 l/m2*h*bar. The newly developed membranes consist of two layers: active and support. An active layer has been synthesized by interfacial polymerization of the mixture of MPD and aliphatic amine and TMC. PES hollow fibre membranes with an outer selective layer made with a wet-spinning method have been used as the support one. The production of the selective layer of the reverse osmosis membranes has been carried out in two stages through keeping the membrane in isopropyl alcohol. It has been shown that two-stage application through a soaking procedure in isopropyl alcohol allows to achieve a defect-free layer of polyamide. It was also noted that the addition of aliphatic amines to the mPDA solution made it possible to achieve high values of perm selectivity compared to a solution that contained only mPDA.

Revitalizing aircraft structural components marred by damage is imperative to enhance their operational lifespan, obviating the need for wholesale replacement of parts or even the entire airframe. The application of composite patches for mending fractured structures contributes significantly to prolonging their serviceability. However, this strategy often mandates curing the adhesive at temperatures surpassing ambient conditions. Hence, the present investigation centers on the reparation of a cracked plate via a composite patch under conditions of thermo-mechanical loading. The study also delves into the repercussions of thermal stresses on the Stress Intensity Factor (SIF), engendered by elevated curing temperatures. By executing Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the SIF at the crack tip was computed, and a parametric examination was executed to scrutinize the influence of assorted parameters such as the thickness of the patch and adhesive on SIF, leveraging the ANSYS tool. Notably, the existence of a composite patch resulted in a substantial reduction of SIF, with noteworthy SIF alterations arising from parameter variations. Elevation in SIF, prompted by thermal stresses due to adhesive curing, was found to manifest markedly, a predicament that can be mitigated by effecting adhesive curing at ambient temperatures.

The present inquiry looks at the movement of a free-convective, viscous MHD transpire as well as the conveyance of an upright plate with mass and heat. The consequences of radiation, chemical reactions, viscous dissipation, and ohmic heating are additionally considered. Transversely, in the potential flow direction, a constant magnetic field is introduced. To overlook the instigated magnetic field with respect to the generated one, a very tiny magnetic Reynolds number is taken into consideration. The coupled differential equations have been solved using MATLAB's built-in solver, bvp4c, which is a numerical method. The numerical repercussions for several values of relevant parameters on flow, heat, and the transfer of mass are laid out graphically. Furthermore, table-based information is maintained for the numerical projections of skin friction, couple stress at the wall's surface, Nusselt amount, and Sherwood value. Numerous industrial and chemical processes have demonstrated the applicability of this paradigm.

Until now, R134a is still used as a working fluid in automotive air conditioning (A/C) even though it has a very high global warming potential (GWP), which is 1430. Refrigerant R600a is an alternative working fluid as a substitute for R134a in automotive (A/C). This environmentally friendly substitute refrigerant is also expected to produce a better system performance, for which it is necessary to analyse energy and exergy. During work, each AC component generates friction, heat loss, and pressure drop which causes irreversibility in each component. The irreversible quantity of each component is calculated by exergy analysis. Because automotive A/C is driven by engine rotation, its performance is also affected by engine rotation. In this study, the engine rotation to be evaluated is 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, and 3000 rpm. The evaporating and condensing temperatures of automotive A/C in this study were 5oC and 45oC, respectively. Based on the energy analysis it was found that replacing R134a with R600 enhanced COP, for example at 2000 rpm for R134a and R600a respectively were 3.59 and 3.69, or an increase in COP of about 3%. Based on the exergy analysis, the greatest irreversibility occurred in the compressor, namely 72.1% and 78.6% for R134a and R600a, respectively, for 2000 rpm. This means that there is a potential to enhance the COP improvement using R600a by reducing the irreversibility on the compressor.

In recent research, further studies on the measurement and analysis of particulate morphology have become necessary to decrease the negative effect of particulate (PM) characteristics. The influence of Coconut biodiesel (CB100) and rates of EGR technique on morphological characteristics of PM was studied using CI diesel engine. The results showed that the PM size distribution decreased by 36.27% from CB100 combustion in comparison with diesel for different EGR rates. Furthermore, introduce high rate of EGR contribute in increasing the PM formation by 26.48% from the CB100 combustion compared with absence EGR technique. It is indicated that the number of particulates significantly decreased by 42.35% when the engine fed with CB100 compared to the diesel. The presence EGR technique leads to decrease the radius of gyration (Rg) and diameter of soot particles by 31.75% and 27.38%, respectively, for both fuels; this trend is more clearly with CB100 combustion. The fractal dimension (Df) declined as the EGR rate increasing during the burning of CB100 by 44.93% in comparison with neat diesel. For both fuels, the presence 40% of EGR increased the fractal dimension by 1.76 and 1.97 from CB100 and diesel, respectively, compared to the absence EGR. 10.37934/arfmts.119.1.134145

Flow accelerated corrosion (FAC), is still prevail in power plants piping components and is driven by variables in hydrodynamics, water chemistry and material composition groups. Amongst these factors, flow hydrodynamics play a major role as FAC is a corrosion process limited by wall mass transfer rates. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have been employed to calculate mass transfer coefficient for further FAC rate assessment. However, various turbulent models have been used in literatures. In this study, CFD calculations of mass transfer coefficient in 90-degree bend are performed with different turbulent models including , , and at the Reynolds number ( ) of 90,000 and the Schmidt number ( ) of 2.53. , and models yield similar flow behaviour, while the shows the delay in the flow separation and double vortices development. The predicted mass transfer coefficients from the three models also agree with the experimental result. The outperforms the others with the maximum relative error of 14%. Although the obtained mass transfer coefficient from model shows good agreement with experimental results at the outlet part of the bend, high discrepancies exist at the inlet part.

Poiseuille flows are crucial in various fields, including engineering and the chemical industry, explaining phenomena such as increased blood pressure in narrowed capillaries and aiding in the design of fluid management systems. Traditionally, studies on Poiseuille flows have focused on Newtonian fluids in non-moving pipes, limiting advancements in the field. This research addresses the gap by exploring the Poiseuille flow of a viscoelastic non-Newtonian second-grade nanofluid. These second-grade fluids, applicable in polymer processing and cosmetics manufacturing, exhibit both shear-thinning and shear-thickening properties under certain conditions. The study analytically solves the flow characteristics of blood nanofluids, reducing the governing equations to ordinary differential equations using standard Poiseuille flow assumptions. The simulation results reveal that among the three nanofluids tested, graphene-blood nanofluid achieves the highest velocity, while copper-blood nanofluid exhibits the lowest. Additionally, the velocity of graphene-blood nanofluid decreases with an increase in volume percentage. This work not only advances the understanding of non-Newtonian fluid dynamics but also provides insights into optimizing fluid management systems in biomedical and industrial applications.

One highly efficient and eco-friendly alternative is bio-oil from co-pyrolysis, a process that effectively breaks down biomass with a high hydrogen index efficiency ratio (H/C). This research comprehensively examines the factors influencing bio-oil production, including the pretreatment of palm fronds with formic acid, the ratio of plastic to palm frond, and the percentage of Ni-CaO catalysts. The study reveals that pretreating the biomass with formic acid and adding low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic increase bio-oil yield, while the addition of Ni-CaO catalyst has the opposite effect. These variations notably impact the enhancement of bio-oil quality, as evidenced by calorific value, acid number, density, and bio-oil constituent compounds. Specifically, Bio-oil obtained from OPF prepared with 70% formic acid, 50:50 OPF to LDPE ratio and 15% Ni-CaO catalyst addition yielded 49.6% with an acid number of 8.57 mgKOH/g, density of 0.98 g/mL and heating value of 31.732 MJ/Kg.
