On the Influence of Viscosity in an Unsteady MHD Flow in a Vertical Channel

Abstract: This article is on the influence of combination of viscosity in an unsteady MHD flow in a vertical channel. The governing equations of motion were employed and solved analytically. Transform is carried out on the governing equations to form sets of nonlinear coupled equation by suitable transformation using stream functions and non-dimensionalize the non-linear […]

Application and analysis of biodiesel produced from refined rubber seed oil as an alternative fuel

Abstract The production of carbon dioxide from the conventional fuel is eliminated in biodiesel because all of the carbon dioxide that would have been released during combustion is sequestrated out of the atmosphere during crop growth, thereby making the biodiesel more environmentally friendly. This study was on the production and analysis of biodiesel from refined […]
