Thermal Instability in a Second-Order Fluid under the Effects of Suction-Injection-Combination and Maxwell-Cattaneo Law
Abstract: AbstractThe onset of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a Second-Order fluid under the effects of Suction-Injection-Combination and Maxwell-Cattaneo Law is studied. The classical Fourier law is replaced with the Non-Classical Maxwell-Cattaneo heat flux law in the energy equation. A linear stability analysis is performed to obtain the eigenvalues for free-free isothermal boundary conditions. The influence of the parameters like Cattaneo number, Prandtl number, and Visco-elastic parameter has been analysed and found that …

Effect of Temperature on Inhibitory Efficacy of Tamarindus indica fruit extract on acid corrosion of Aluminium
Abstract: An attempt has been made to investigate the anti-corrosive propensity of ethanolic extract of Tamarindus indica fruit at elevated temperature between 303 to 343 K, so as to replace the exploitation of toxic chemicals as corrosion inhibitors. Inhibition efficiency has been observed significantly high (84.06%) at room temperature at concentration 0.45 %. The inhibition efficiency is found to increase with increasing concentration of extract and decrease with rise in temperature. …
