Abstract Nanofluids are the fluids containing nano materials, with interesting properties, and the distinctive features have shown unprecedented potential for many Industrial applications. Nano fluids have been receiving great attention in recent years for heat transfer applications in industrial processes. In literature, the highly nonlinear governing equations involved in the study of MHD nanofluids flow with thermal radiation past a vertical plate under varying physical nature are solved using numerical and analytical schemes. It is noted that due to the complexity of the governing equations, numerical schemes are more preferable than analytical schemes. The authors have taken effort in registering various forms of governing equations involved in the above studies, its impact on velocity and temperature field. This paper also tries to identify the research gaps and pave way for future research.

This study investigates the unsteady heat transfer flow of a non-Newtonian Casson fluid over an oscillating vertical plate with Newtonian heating on the wall under the effects of thermal radiation. With the help of non-dimensional variables, governing equations are written into dimensionless form and then solved analytically by Laplace transform technique to find the solutions of temperature and velocity. The corresponding solutions of Nusselt number and skin friction are also calculated. The solution in term of viscous fluid is recovered as a limiting case of this work. The effects of the pertinent parameters on temperature and velocity are presented graphically and discussed details in this paper.

Unsteady hydromagnetic natural convection boundary layer flow of a viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting dusty fluid past an impulsively moving vertical plate with ramped temperature in the presence of thermal radiation and transverse magnetic field is studied. Exact solutions of the governing equations for fluid and particle velocities and fluid and particle temperatures are obtained in closed form by Laplace transform technique. To compare the results obtained in this case with that of an isothermal plate, exact solutions of the governing equations are also obtained for an isothermal plate. The expressions for the skin friction and Nusselt number are also derived for both ramped temperature and isothermal plates. Numerical values of fluid and particle velocities and fluid and particle temperatures are displayed graphically for various values of pertinent flow parameters for both ramped temperature and isothermal plates, whereas numerical values of skin friction and Nusselt number for both ramped temperature and isothermal plates are presented in tabular form for pertinent flow parameters.

Abstract The effects of thermal radiation on a flow past an impulsively started infinite vertical plate in the presence of a magnetic field have been studied. The fluid considered is a gray, absorbing-emitting radiation but non-scattering medium. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by an efficient, more accurate, unconditionally stable and fast converging implicit scheme. The effects of velocity and temperature for different parameters such as the thermal radiation, magnetic field, Schmidt number, thermal Grashof number and mass Grashof number are studied. It is observed that the velocity decreases in the presence of thermal radiation or a magnetic field

The objective of this article is to introduce the readers to the field of polyelectrolyte gels. These materials are common in living systems and have great importance in many biomedical and industrial applications. In the first part of this paper, we briefly review some characteristic properties of polymer gels with an emphasis on the unique features of this type of soft material. Unsolved problems and possible future research directions are highlighted. In the second part, we focus on the typical behavior of polyelectrolyte gels. Many biological materials (e.g., tissues) are charged (mainly anionic) polyelectrolyte gels. Examples are shown to illustrate the effect of counter-ions on the osmotic swelling behavior and the kinetics of the swelling of model polyelectrolyte gels. These systems exhibit a volume transition as the concentration of higher valence counter-ions is gradually increased in the equilibrium bath. A hierarchy is established in the interaction strength between the cations and charged polymer molecules according to the chemical group to which the ions belong. The swelling kinetics of sodium polyacrylate hydrogels is investigated in NaCl solutions and in solutions containing both NaCl and CaCl2. In the presence of higher valence counter-ions, the swelling/shrinking behavior of these gels is governed by the diffusion of free ions in the swollen network, the ion exchange process and the coexistence of swollen and collapsed states.

AbstractMusic has been steadily rising up the historical agenda, a product of the emergence of sound studies, the history of the senses, and a mood of interdisciplinary curiosity. This introductory article offers a critical review of how the relationship between music and politics has featured in extant historical writing, from classic works of political history to the most recent scholarship. It begins by evaluating different approaches that historians have taken to music, summarizes the important shifts in method that have recently taken place, and advocates for a performance-centered, contextualized framework that is attentive to the distinctive features of music as a medium. The second half examines avenues for future research into the historical connections between music and politics, focusing on four thematic areas—the body, emotions, space, and memory—and closes with some overarching reflections on music's use as a tool of power, as well as a challenge to it. Although for reasons of cohesion, this short article focuses primarily on scholarship on Britain and Ireland in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, its discussion of theory and methods is intended to be applicable to the study of music and political culture across a broad range of periods and geographies.

This article explores a trend provisionally called “eco-didacticism” observable for nearly 15 years in art, design and architecture. The corpus concentrates on learning centres as buildings meant to diffuse advanced knowledge in the field of sustainable architecture. We found evidence of additional educational intentions to the pedagogical or scientific programs that these buildings have already been mandated to host and support. A variety of practices or devices have sometimes been added to the architecture, sometimes integrated, while others determine the overall structuring of these educational buildings. Seven cases of “learning centres” built in Canada between 2004 and 2018 have been screened through three epistemological filters distinguishing forms of “architectural didactics”: 1—a labeling often quantitative approach, 2—an experiential or practical approach, 3—a visually narrative or iconic approach. While outlining definitions of these Architectural Educational Strategies (AES), we offer initial explanations for their distinctive features. It appears that architects, designers and critics altogether operate on the belief that forms of architectural communication can operate as elements of a language that would be accessible to non-experts. Our conclusion indicates how future research could question the very possibility of giving lessons through formal language and aesthetic features.

Amorphous alloys have emerged as important materials for precision machinery, energy conversion, information processing, and aerospace components. This is due to their unique structure and excellent properties, including superior strength, high elasticity, and excellent corrosion resistance, which have attracted the attention of many researchers. However, the size of the amorphous alloy components remains limited, which affects industrial applications. Significant developments in connection with this technology are urgently needed. Laser welding represents an efficient welding method that uses a laser beam with high energy-density for heating. Laser welding has gradually become a research hotspot as a joining method for amorphous alloys due to its fast heating and cooling rates. In this compact review, the current status of research into amorphous-alloy laser welding technology is discussed, the influence of technological parameters and other welding conditions on welding quality is analyzed, and an outlook on future research and development is provided. This paper can serve as a useful reference for both fundamental research and engineering applications in this field.

This article investigates the magnetohydrodynamic mixed convective heat, and mass transfer flow of an incompressible, viscous, Boussinesq, electrically conducting fluid from a vertical plate in a sparsely packed porous medium in the presence of thermal radiation and an nth order homogeneous chemical reaction between the fluid and the diffusing species numerically. In this investigation, the fluid and porous properties like thermal and solutal diffusivity, permeability and porosity are all considered to be vary. The governing non-linear PDE's for the fluid flow are derived and transformed into a system of ODE's using an appropriate similarity transformation. The resultant equations are solved numerically using shooting technique and Runge-Kutta integral scheme with the help of Newton-Raphson algorithm in order to know the characteristics of the fluid for various non-dimensional parameters which are controlling the physical system graphically. The results of the numerical scheme are validated and a numerical comparison has been made with the available literature in the absence of some parameters and found that in good agreement.
