Influence of Polyvinyl Acetate on the Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in Sulphuric Acidic Environment

ABSTRACT The impact of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) in controlling the induced corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution was investigated using experimental and theoretical approach respectively. The experimental approach used includes weight loss measurement, potentiodynamic polarization technique whereas chemical quantum computation was the theoretical approach used. It is observed that PVAc inhibited the […]

Identifying Root Causes of Assembly Line Stoppage Using Meta-heuristics Approaches

ABSTRACT An assembly line is a manufacturing processor simply a progressive assembly in which the components are added as the semi-finished assembly moves from workstation to workstation where the parts are added in sequence until the final assembly is produced. By mechanically moving the parts to the assembly work and moving the semi-finished assembly from […]

Energy Efficiency Improvement Scopes Analysis in the Jute Processing Industry of Bangladesh

ABSTRACT Energy efficiency improvement and energy saving are major industrial concerns now-a-days. This paper mainly aims at focusing key issues for reducing energy wastage and subsequent reduction of excessive energy consumption due to inefficient machinery and unplanned electrical system. In order to improve the energy consumption pattern, particularly jute processing industry of Bangladesh is considered […]

Effects of Acetylation and Alkylation on the Properties of Wheat Straw Fiber

ABSTRACT Wheat straw, a lignocellulosic fiber is an agricultural by-product found abundantly everywhere in Bangladesh. This fiber contains about 35% α-cellulose, 25% hemi-cellulose, 23% lignin. As compared to other natural fibers, it is a low cellulosic fiber. Acetylation and alkylation of this fiber were carried out and modified fibers were characterized by physical, mechanical and […]
