MHD-Assisted Flow Regulation of Viscoelastic Polymer Fluids for Industrial Cooling and Composite Fabrication with Isotherml Plates

By M. Siva Sankar Reddy, K. Venkateswara Raju, B. Hari Babu, Y. Satheesh Kumar Reddy, Madhumohana Raju A. B.

Abstract: This study investigates the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) regulation of viscoelastic polymer fluid flow over a permeable plate, emphasizing its relevance to industrial cooling and composite fabrication. An incompressible, electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid is analyzed under a transverse magnetic field with Hall and ion-slip effects to capture electromagnetic alterations in polymer transport. The governing non-dimensional equations for momentum, temperature, and concentration are solved analytically using the perturbation method. The results show that …

Graphene-Derived Reinforced Polymer Composites for Self-Healing and Durability Enhancement in Concrete Structures

By V. Ravi Raj, Neethi Madhavan C.S, Bikash Chandra Saha, Manu Vijay, D. Sudha, S. Sivakumar, R. M. Karthikeyan, Shailendra Kumar Bohidar, Zakir Hussain

Abstract: This study presents a matrix-centric polymer-composite repair binder: an epoxy–polyamide network reinforced with graphene derivatives (GO/rGO, 0.1–1.0 wt%). The polymer drives function via segmental mobility that closes microcracks, while 2D-filler topology densifies the interphase, improves load transfer, and enforces tortuous moisture pathways. Adhesion was high: pull-off (ASTM D4541) reached 13.5 MPa at 2.0 mm displacement; slant-shear (ASTM C882) reached 12.1 MPa at 2.8 mm, with greater deformation capacity (zero stress …

Enhanced Biodiesel Production Via Encapsulation of Yeast Cells in Biocompatible Polymers

By Arti Zende, Snehal Patil, Jayashri Nanaware, Girish Pathade

Abstract: Yeast-based biodiesel production offers a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuels. However, factors like harsh environmental conditions and shear stress during processing can limit yeast cell viability and overall biodiesel yield. This study explores the potential of encapsulation technology using biocompatible polymers to improve yeast performance in biodiesel production. Encapsulation can create a protective barrier for yeast cells, shielding them from harsh environments and shear stress during processing. This protection …
