The crystallization kinetics of $Fe_{73.5}Si_{13.5}B_{9}Cu_{1}Nb_{3}$ amorphous alloy has been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The crystallization process had two stages, i.e. precipitation of the $\alpha$-Fe(Si) solid solution and the tetragonal borides. The isothermal transformation data of the amorphous alloy has been fitted successfully to the generalized Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation. The mean time exponent, n, obtained is close to 2.5. The value of n=2.5 may be interpreted as being due to a diffusion-controlled transformation process with a constant nucleation rate, one likely transformation mode for the crystallization of metallic amorphous alloys. The activation energy of the overall crystallization process deduced from the time to 50% crystallization are about 81 kcal/mole. The value is of the same order as those estimated from viscous flow.

The present study is carried out to examine the combined effect of heat absorption on flow model. The model consists of unsteady flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid. The flow is along an impulsively started oscillating vertical plate with variable mass diffusion. The magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plate. The fluid model under consideration has been solved by Laplace transform technique. The numerical data obtained is discussed with the help of graphs and table. The numerical values obtained for skin-friction have been tabulated. To shorten the lengthy equations in the solution some symbols have been assumed, which are mentioned in appendix. The appendix is included in the article as the last section of the manuscript.

In this study the magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) micro polar fluid flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past a porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction is considered. This work is devoted to investigate the Soret effect and Electromagnetic radiation effect and analyze analytically. In the energy equation the applied magnetic field strength and in the concentration equation the Soret effect are incorporated. The basic PDE (partial differential equations) are reduced to ODE (ordinary differential equations) using non dimensional variables. Then the analytical solution of the dimensionless equations are found using perturbation technique. The features of the fluid flow parameters are analyzed, discussed and explained graphically. The graphical solutions are found using MATLAB R2019b. Skin friction coefficient at the wall, Couple stress coefficient at the plate and the local surface heat flux are also thoroughly examined. Overall, this study sheds light on the complex interplay between physical parameters in the behavior of MHD micro-polar fluid past a porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction.

In this paper, boundary layer flow is observed through stretching cylinder exponentially with non-linear velocity. This cylinder is rested in porous medium. Appropriate similarity transformation is employed for the conversion of governing PDEs into ODEs. To compute the problem and solution series numerical method is applied and evaluated by using finite difference Keller-Box method. The velocity ratio, permeability parameter, Reynold number is figure out to examine the effect of on velocity profile. Fluid velocity and skin friction coefficient goes down with increment of Reynold number and permeability parameter. While reverse behavior is reported for velocity ratio. The results are validated with earlier investigations and found very well.

Purpose: This review article was written to investigate what kind of forces are acting on the contact lens fitted on the cornea and its subsequent motion. Methods: A capillary action-induced force develops in the tear layer between the lens and cornea, which leads to the restoring force due to difference in layer thickness according to lens rotation. The characteristics of the lens movement can be determined by the various factors such as friction between eyelid and lens, acceleration force based on blinking and the restoring force incorporated with the viscous damping force. A mathematical model which consists of the differential equations and their numerical solution was proposed to analyze the damped motion of lenses. The model predicts the time dependence of lenses during and after the blink varying the BC, blink period and eyelid pressure. Results: It was found that both the blink period and lid pressure increases the movement increases because of the enhanced lid friction. As the BC increases the viscous damping reduces due to the lacrimal layer's increase which resulted in the enhanced lens motion. After blink the lens illustrates the damped oscillation because of the restoring force by the increased lacrimal layer thickness and reduced viscous resistance. The time for the lens to return to the equilibrium shortens as the BC increase because of the resistance reduction. Conclusions: The movement of the contact lens is governed by the characteristics of the lacrimal layer between the lens and cornea as well as the lid blink.

An efficient diagonalized approximate factorization algorithm (DAF) is developed for the solution of three-dimensional incompressible viscous flows. The pressure-based, artificial compressibility (AC) method is used for calculating steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The AC form of the governing equations is discretized in space using a second-order-accurate finite volume method. The present DAF method is applied to derive a second-order accurate splitting of the discrete system of equations. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the computational efficiency of the present DAF method. The solutions of the DAF method are evaluated relative to those of well-known four-stage Runge-Kutta (RK4) method for fully developed and developing laminar flows in curved square ducts and a laminar flow in a cavity. While converged solutions obtained by DAF and RK4 methods on the same computational meshes are essentially identical because of employing the same discrete schemes in space, both algorithms shows significant discrepancy in the computing efficiency. The results reveal that the DAF method requires substantially at least two times less computational time than RK4 to solve all applied flow fields. The increase in computational efficiency of the DAF methods is achieved with no increase in computational resources and coding complexity.

Changes in pH of the soaking solution and physical properties of the soybean curd during immersing in solution of different concentrations at different temperatures were determined. Compared with $0{\sim}3%$ NaCl soaking solution, 5% NaCl soaking solution distinctively reduced the pH drop, increasing rate of turbidity and microorganism growth during storage. This indicated the concentration of soaking solution influences the shelf life of curd. As the storage temperature was lowered to $5^{\circ}C$, their changing rates were also reduced. Physical properties such as initial stress $({\sigma}_0)$, elastic constant (E), viscous constant $({\eta})$ and failure test were influenced by storage temperature, but not a function of concentration of salt solution. The result of the sensory test indicated the hardness and salty taste of curd were statistically significant among samples and $1{\sim}5%$ NaCl solutions did not show any significant difference in the salty taste.

In this work, chemical-solution derived silicate fibers were prepared by mixing tetraethyl orthosilicate, ethanol, distilled water, and hydrochloric acid in order to investigate surface roughness of fiber. Silicate fibers were drawn by using a viscous solution after evaporation at $80^{\circ}C$. The dried gel fibers were finally annealed at $1000^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$, $1200^{\circ}C$ and $^1300{\circ}C$ for 60 min in dried air (flow rate = ∼200 ml/min). The crystallinity of the heat-treated silica fiber was analyzed by the X-ray diffraction $\theta$-2$\theta$ scan. A field emission-scanning electron microscope and an atomic force microscope were used to evaluate surface properties. The silicate fiber annealed at $1300^{\circ}C$ showed high value of root mean square roughness and had a relatively inhomogeneous surface structure.

This study was designed to measure viscosity, osmolality and in vitro flow rates via nasogastric tubes for 6 types of commercially available and 9 hospital-blenderized enteral solutions and to examine the effect of viscosity and osmolaility of enteral formula on the flow rates in gravity drip administration. Each solution was infused through 18, 16, 14, 12 French sizes of silicone rubber tube. Flow rates were measured six times at $25^{\circ}C$ using formula bags and drip sets hung at a uniform height on a intravenous drip stand with tube uniformly positioned in collecting container. Viscosity ranged widely from 16.0 to 195.5 cps with mean, 64.61$\pm$64.42 for hospital-blenderized formula while mean viscosity of commercial formula was 7.60$\pm$4.84 cps. Mean osmolality of commercial formula and hospital-blenderized formula were 370$\pm$100.80, 540.33$\pm$89.37 mOsm/kg respectively. There was negative relationship between viscosity of formula and flow rates through tubes but no significant relationship between flow rates and osmolalty. Some of hospital-blenderized formula was too viscous to be infused througth tube with gravity drip administration and the recipe of formula requires to be modiifed. On the other hand, commercial formula with the low viscosity flows too rapidly with large bore size tubes. Smaller size of tube must be selected for hyperosmolar solution to decrease possible side effects associated with tube feeding. Two kinds of regression equations for flow rates obtained according to viscosity and tube sizes were also presented for the purpose of practical uses. In conclusion, this study emphasizes that viscosity of fomula, osmolality, patient's tolerance and comfort, caloric density should be considered in the selection of tubes for gravify drip administration.

In this paper, the concept of the infinite element is applied to the linear wave diffraction and radiation problems. The hydrodynamic pressure forces are assumed to be inertially dominated, and viscous effects are neglected. The near field region surrounding the solid body is modelled using the conventional finite elements, and the far field region is represented using the infinite elements .In order to represent the scattered wave potentials in the far field region more accurately, the infinite elements are developed using special shape functions derived from the asymptotic expressions for the analytical eigenseries solution of the scattered waves. The system matrices of the infinite elements are constructed by performing the integration in the infinite direction analytically to achieve computational efficiency. Numerical analyses are carried out for vertical axisymmetric bodies to validate the infinite elements developed here. Comparisons with the results by other available numerical solution methods show that the present method using the infinite elements gives fairly good results. Numerical experiments are per-formed to determine the suitable location of the infinite elements and the appropriate size of the finite elements which directly affect accuracy and efficiency of the solution.
