This emerges major waste during production alumina from bauxite by Bayer's process. It comprises oxides iron, titanium, aluminum and silica along some other minor constituents. erosive wear newly developed composite is evaluated at different impingement angles 30° 90° pressures stand off distances (SOD). results show semi brittle behavior maximum erosion rate 45°...

In the present study, a mathematical model has been developed to predict abrasive wear behavior of bagasse fiber reinforced polymer composite. The experiments have conducted using full factorial design in (DOE) on pin-on-disc type testing machine, against 400 grit size paper. A second order polynomial for prediction loss. was by response surface method (RSM). Analysis variance technique at 95% confidence level applied check validity model. effect volume percentage reinforcement, load and...

The sugar cane residue bagasse is an underutilized renewable agricultural material. Bagasse generally grey-yellow to pale green in color. It bulky and quite nonuniform particle size. As it produced at the mills, used as fuel power plant. However, wherever there large scale production of sugarcane, will be excess which must disposed by other methods such burning, dumping, land burial, etc. Thus, economic use could both increase profits mill solve environmental problem. In this work attempt...

Different types of natural fiber are used to reduce the traditional in composite fabrication due their inherent properties when compared other materials. New reinforced (lantana-camara and bagasse) were fabricated with different volume fraction (10, 20, 30) also tested experimentally regard specific wear rate. To evaluate test data obtained, an experimental design method (L9), which is based on Taguchi method, was used. By this S/N ratio measurement a new linear trend equation for developed....

In the continuous casting process, tundish acts as a molten steel distribution vessel. The importance of during delivery becomes more significant when it supplies liquid to than one mould. present work, water model six strand billet caster has been used study effect blockage on residence time (RTD) characteristics at strands. All experiments were performed under steady state conditions. Potassium chloride was tracer for study. effects dissimilarity among open strands also studied. Both...

The primary difficulties while using Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a filler in polymeric composite are inhomogeneous dispersion and distribution of the within matrix weak interfacial bonding between them. Functionalization followed by sonication has been done to overcome these challenges. uniform mixing Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with varying weight fraction (0.1,0.5 1) functionalized multiwalled carbon (MWCNTs) was Torque Rheometer Batch Mixer.
