  Abstract Aluminium is a very useful metal. It is easily converted into suitable forms so it fits for in various appliances like households, industries, aerospace, electronic, transport and other processes. It is produced corroding affect in sulphur dioxide environment. Al interacts with sulphur dioxide in presence of humidity to produce corrosive medium for its. It creates acidic environment for Al metal and forms corrosion cell on its surface. The electrode potential difference occur between Al|Al3+ anode and cathode H+|H2 thus corrosion reaction takes place on the surface of base metal and produces different forms corrosion like galvanic, pitting, stress, crevice, intergrannular etc. The organic compound terahydro-dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene-5,11-dioxime and zinc oxide electrospray were used for corrosion protection of Al in sulphur dioxide environment. The terahydro-dibenzo[a,d] [7]annulene-5,11-dioxime and ZnO electrospray formed composite barrier on aluminium metal

Short Communication Mechanical engineering is not only one of the oldest engineering disciplines but also the broadest one, i.e., with the wide-scope as well as a large number of its branches. This engineering discipline requires a clear understanding of the principles of engineering physics, engineering mathematics, and materials science to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems such as mechanisms, devices, and machines. With a view to machines’ development, the progress of mechanical engineering advancement is often directly related to the course of civilization history. Therefore, it can be studied from many perspectives. Our attention often directs to significant particular forms or stages of civilization, which arisen throughout human history. One cannot forget about ancient cultures, both Greco-Roman (in Europe) and Chinese (in Asia), which adopted to a great extent and, then, developed often anonymous technical achievements of the fi

  Abstract In this study, the spoiler effect in a different angle of attacks that makes the maximum downforce is conveyed. Two different facilities are utilized to set up the experiment. A wind tunnel is used to measure the downforce and drag force, and a water tunnel is used to observe the velocity profile and flow field visualization. The result revealed that a 12° angle of attack is the optimal angle for designing the spoiler. Twelve degrees angle of attack provided the highest downforce. This downforce can improve the stability of high-speed sports car without increasing much drag. Compared to the angle of attack of 5°, the downforce of the angle of attack equal to 12° increases 233%, but the drag force only increases by 15% in wind tunnel experiments.   Read more about this article : https://lupinepublishers.com/mining-mechanical-engineerning/fulltext/experimental-investigation-of-a-spoilers-impact-on-the-flow-pattern-of-a-high-speed-sport-car.ID.000110.php Read m

  Abstract This Paper presents comparison of syngas compositions, for all coal ranks, as produced from different types of coal gasification processes currently in use, namely entrained flow, fluidized bed, and fixed bed gasifiers. Cold gas and carbon conversion efficiencies were investigated. The syngas composition varies with the applied gasification process. The importance of this research arises from the fact that gasifiers produce the environmentally clean fuel required to run any Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle power system. A procedure was conducted to get estimates for bituminous coal. It is important to have knowledge of the chemical reactions which take place in each gasifier and the raw syngas produced from the specific reaction involved to develop an Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Power Generation plant with CO 2 recovery in order to increase the cycle efficiency and mitigate CO 2 emission and other pollutants. The results indicate that the e

  Abstract E-waste is an emerging problem that has to be attending worldwide. The best way for E-waste management is recycling. Bioleaching is a novel method to extract metals from E-waste. In this research, bioleaching of Cu and Ni from an E-waste sample was examined using acidophil microorganisms. Different kinds of E-waste were purchased; the sample size reduced to lower than 100 microns. Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was adapted to the 15 g/l of the E-waste sample. Eh, pH, bacterial count, and metal recovery were followed in a period of 25 days. By using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) identified Cu and Ni were recovered respectively 99% on 11 th day and 98% on 14 th day. The results of field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction before and after bioleaching emphasize the great efficiencyofbioleaching.

Abstract Alkaliphilic bacteria usually grow well at pH 9, and the most extremophilic strains can grow up to values as high as pH 12-13. This group of bacteria has the ability to metabolically reduce alkalinity and are tolerant of high concentrations of ions and metals. Interest in extreme alkaliphiles has been shown as they are sources of useful, stable enzymes, and the cells themselves can be used for biotechnological and other applications at high pH values. Many industrial processes produce highly alkaline waste that is contaminated with toxic trace metals/metalloid. Thus, using alkaliphilic microorganisms is considered an attractive alternative method for treating industrial alkaline residues. Bauxite refining is one of the activities that most produces highly alkaline waste. Alumina extraction from bauxite using concentrated sodium hydroxide in the Bayer process generates a slurry and an extremely alkaline (pH of 9 to 13) by-product known as bauxite residue or r
