    Abstract: The corrosion inhibition behaviour of Henna leaves on Tin in 1.0 M HCl and 1.0 M NaOH was investigated using weight loss technique at temperatures ranges, 25-50°C. The maximum inhibition efficiency was found to be 95.45 at optimum inhibitor concentration. The presence of the compound adsorbed on the tin coupons was verified by spectroscopic measure... Show More

    Abstract: Natural dyes are derived from natural sources such as plants, animals and minerals. They are mostly non-substantive and can be applied on textiles materials by using mordants. Synthetic dyes are derived from organic or inorganic compound. They are cheaper, offer a vast range of new colour and impart better properties to textile materials. Synthetic... Show More

    Abstract: In a boundary wall of a pipe for developed laminar flow, to find the best example in which the least enthalpy and entropy are created, non-uniform distribution of convective flow in wall is studied. Some factors are simulated for transfer coefficient heat variations of moving the pipe. Distribution of temperature, entropy and enthalpy along the rad... Show More
