Analytical Solution for MHD Casson Fluid Flow Past a Porous Linearly Stretching Surface with Wall Mass Transfer

In this analysis, MHD Casson fluid flow past a porous linearly stretching surface with wall mass transfer is studied. Using similarity transformations, the governing equations are converted to an ordinary differential equation and then solved analytically. The fluid velocity and skin friction coefficient are obtained. Our analysis reveals that the effect of increasing Casson parameter and porosity parameter is to suppress the velocity field. Keywords: Casson fluid; Stretching surface; MHD

Cooling Intensification of a Continuously Moving Stretching Surface Using Different Types of Nanofluids

The effect of different types of nanoparticles on the heat transfer from a continuously moving stretching surface in a concurrent, parallel free stream has been studied. The stretching surface is assumed to have power-law velocity and temperature. The governing equations are converted into a dimensionless system of equations using nonsimilarity variables. Resulting equations are solved numerically for various values of flow parameters. The effect of physical quantities on the temperature profiles is discussed in detail

Ab initio calculations of surface phonons of the hydrogen-terminated Si(110)-(1 × 1) surface

A first-principles study, using a linear-response approach based on the pseudopotential method and the generalised gradient approximation, has been made to examine the phonon spectrum of the hydrogen-terminated Si(110)-(1 × 1) surface. The calculated results compare very well with the results determined from a recent high-resolution electron-energy-loss spectroscopy measurement. In particular, the energy locations and polarization characteristics of the H-Si bond bending and H-Si stretching surface phonon modes have been determined and discussed in detail. The zone-centre splitting of the two H-Si stretching surface phonon modes is found to be 2.4 meV, which compares very well with the experimental value of 1.9 meV

The effects of lawsonia inermis pigmentation for superhydrophobic properties on cotton fabrics

Nowadays, there are many things that can be produced easily by the help of modern technologies. This include the synthetic materials that can be developed by using any advance machine that was manufactured [1]. However, those synthetics materials that was developed may bring harm to the environment. Their particles can be spread resulting an unhealthy atmosphere. Thus, the natural resources was used to produce an authentic materials (Calarge, 2018). In the recent years, textile industry has been developed significantly and contributes to the growth of Malaysia’s economy [2]. It can be categorized as one of the complicated industries among the manufacturing industries such as food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries [3]. Thus, the textile industries require high water consumption and resulting on high discharge rate of wastewater that loaded with contaminants [2]. The generation of wastewater from textile industry comes from the manufacturing process of textile fabrics such as washing scouring bleaching, mercerizing, and dyeing and finishing process. The highest amount of wastewater that produced from textile industries come from the process of dyeing and finishing. The contaminants of water that produced by dyeing and finishing process include high suspended solids (SS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), heat, colour, acidity, basicity, and other organic pollutants [4]. This matter has to be seriously concerned as it may lead to allergic responses, eczema, and also affect the liver, lungs, and immune system of humans as well as animals [3]. The purpose for the project of the effects of Lawsonia Inermis was basically to produce a natural pigment that may not harm the environmen

Forced convective of micropolar fluid on a stretching surface of another quiescent fluid

In this paper, the problem of forced convection flow of micropolar fluid of lighter density impinging orthogonally on another heavier density of micropolar fluid on a stretching surface is investigated. The boundary layer governing equations are transformed from partial differential equations into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation and solved numerically using dsolve function in Maple software version 2016. The velocity, microrotation and temperature ofmicropolar fluid are analyzed. It is found that both upper fluid and lower fluid display opposite behaviour when micropolar parameter K various with strong concentration n= 0, Pr = 7 and stretching parameter λ= 0.5. The results also show that stretching surface exert the force that increasing the velocity of micropolar fluid
