The present research examines the joint influence of throughflow and Coriolis force on the onset of double-diffusive convection with an internal heat source modelled by Darcy’s law. The BVP4C routine in MATLAB R2020a is used to solve the eigenvalue problem numerically. Critical Rayleigh numbers are obtained for designated values of governing parameters. The effect of the internal heat source parameter, Taylor number, Darcy number, and Peclet number on the system’s stability is investigated. The internal heat source parameter has a destabilizing influence on the system, according to our findings. The reason behind this observation is that the presence of an internal heat source in the porous medium may cause more molecular diffusion inside the medium. The Taylor number, on the other hand, stabilizes the system for both upward and downward throughflow because rotation introduces vorticity into the fluid. Thus, the fluid moves with higher velocity in horizontal planes. The velocity of the fluid perpendicular to the planes reduces as a result of this motion. Thus, the onset of convection is delayed.

The use of suitable secondary raw materials as fillers in progressive, protective agents primarily intended for horizontal concrete construction is very effective not only from the ecological but also from the economic point of view. The impact of using various types of waste glass as fillers on the mechanical parameters of epoxy coatings was experimentally verified. Assessing the dependency of the coating’s chemical resistance on the shape of the used filler’s particles was the main aim of the performed research. A solvent-free epoxy suitable for a chemically aggressive environment was selected for the experiment. These were epoxy coatings filled with a micro filler based on raw materials such as glass flakes and silica flour. Three tested formulations containing fillers with different particle shapes and characteristics were exposed to H2SO4, HCl, CH2O2 and NaOH at concentrations of 5% and 30% and evaluated after 60, 90 and 120 days. The chemical resistance assessment was carried out not only visually but also using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Thanks to the use of the waste glass as a coating filler, tensile properties and hardness improved, and its use did not negatively affect the chemical resistance and adhesion of the epoxy coatings. It was found that the shape of the filler particles influences the resistance of the coating against a chemically aggressive environment. The epoxy coating containing pre-treated waste windshield glass (shards) showed even better properties than the reference coating. Full article

The effect of rotation and cross-diffusion on convection in a horizontal sparsely packed porous layer in a thermally conducting fluid is studied using linear stability theory. The normal mode method is employed to formulate the eigenvalue problem for the given model. One-term Galerkin weighted residual method solves the eigenvalue problem for free-free boundaries. The eigenvalue problem is solved for rigid-free and rigid-rigid boundaries using the BVP4c routine in MATLAB R2020b. The critical values of the Rayleigh number and corresponding wave number for different prescribed values of other physical parameters are analyzed. It is observed that the Taylor number and Solutal Rayleigh number significantly influence the stability characteristics of the system. In contrast, the Soret parameter, Darcy number, Dufour parameter, and Lewis number destabilize the system. The critical values of wave number for different prescribed values of other physical parameters are also analyzed. It is found that critical wave number does not depend on the Soret parameter, Lewis number, Dufour parameter, and solutal Rayleigh number; hence critical wave number has no impact on the size of convection cells. Further critical wave number acts as an increasing function of Taylor number, so the size of convection cells decreases, and the size of convection cells increases because of Darcy number.

The present research paper deals with the study of heat and mass transfer characteristics of steady viscous incompressible two-dimensional Maxwell fluid flow past a stretching sheet under the influence of magnetic field and the Soret effect. A well-known non-Newtonian Maxwell fluid flow model is used to differentiate it from the Newtonian fluids. The present physical problem gives the set of highly nonlinear-coupled partial differential equations that are not amenable to any of the direct techniques. The resultant nonlinear system of partial differential equations is reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations. Due to the inadequacy of analytical techniques, a bvp4c MATLAB function is used to solve the developed nonlinear system of equations. The simulated results are shown for various values of physical parameters in the flow regime. Additionally, the numerical values of skin-friction coefficient, heat, and mass transfer rates are calculated and tabularized. From the present investigation, it is observed that the normal and axial velocity profiles decreased for the enhancing values of the magnetic parameter. Increasing the Prandtl and Schmidt numbers reduces the temperature and concentration profiles in the flow region, respectively. Increasing the Maxwell fluid parameter decreases the velocity profile and magnifies the temperature field. Additionally, increasing the Soret number increases the concentration profile in the flow regime. Comparison of current similarity solutions with available results indicates the accuracy and guarantee of the present numerical results and the used method. Full article
