Thermal Barrier Coatings: A concise review on Materials and Mechanisms S. Sivamani, M. Udayakumar, Saikat Banerjee, E. Devandiran, B.S. Naveen Prasad, et al. Journal of Integrated Science and Technology, 2026 Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) are pivotal in safeguarding high-temperature components in aerospace and energy applications. This paper explores the structural composition of TBC systems, including substrate, bond coat, thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer, and ceramic topcoat. Various deposition techniques such as Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS) and Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) are discussed for their impact on coating performance. Challenges such as crack propagation, thermal fatigue, and environmental degradation are analysed to understand their influence on TBC longevity. Notably, the potential of advanced materials, including rare earth zirconates and hafnium-based ceramics, is evaluated to enhance thermal stability and damage tolerance. The ongoing research aims to mitigate existing limitations while pushing the boundaries of TBC technology in high-temperature applications, ensuring improved performance and efficiency
Polynomial Regression for predicting Red Wine quality using physicochemical parameters Sivamani Selvaraju Journal of Integrated Science and Technology, 2026 Accurate assessment of red wine quality is essential for ensuring consumer satisfaction and guiding winemaking processes. This study explores the prediction of red wine quality based on key physicochemical properties, including acidity, pH, sugar content, and alcohol concentration. Polynomial regression model was developed and evaluated to estimate wine quality scores, highlighting the influence of specific features such as alcohol content and volatile acidity. The results demonstrate that traditional regression approach reliably predicts wine quality, offering a practical tool for quality control and optimization in the wine industry. These findings underscore the potential of integrating analytical measurements with predictive modeling to support informed decision-making in winemaking.
EFFECT OF ALKALI MIXTURES ON WASTE ALUMINIUM FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CATALYTIC HYDROGEN P. Kanakasabai, Saikat Banerjee, R. Rajasekaran, Duaa Salim Musallam Al-Kathiri, Khalid Ali Issa Al-Mashani, et al. Azerbaijan Chemical Journal, 2026 This study investigates the use of alkalis like potassium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide to produce hydrogen from aluminum waste. The study looks at how different alkali volumes and temperatures affect the creation of hydrogen. The findings indicate that while calcium hydroxide decreases hydrogen production, higher temperatures and potassium hydroxide volumes boost it. The association between the variables evaluated and the rate constant that is discovered as a function of the different alkali and its concentration is predicted using a multivariable regression analysis. The effect of varying the mixture's volume ratio on hydrogen production has been studied with respect to H2 generation from KOH/Ca(OH)₂. The predicted range of KOH/Ca(OH)₂ ratio for producing a considerable amount of hydrogen appears to lie in the neighborhood of 2.0-2.5. Regression study confirms an excellent fit indicating that independent variables explain 80.25% of the variation in the dependent variable, with time being the main influential variable. From the analysis of variance (ANOVA) table, it has been found that 76.22% of the variability in the dependent variable is explained by the independent variables, time being of larger effect on the dependent variable. The histogram of residuals endorses the soundness of the model yet, points toward certain aspects of the model, where improvement or further scrutiny could be warranted on the fit of the data. Different concentrations of KOH and Ca(OH)2 affect hydrogen generation in a 100-ml mixture which studies maximum hydrogen volume versus KOH/Ca(OH)2 ratio on maximum hydrogen-gas-dispersion time. The plot, which shows the maximum H2 varying significantly owing to changes in both independent variables, needs a second pass for verification
REVIEW ON ADVANCEMENTS IN PRODUCTION AND USAGE OF GREEN INULIN Journal of Technology, 2026
Adsorption of Hexavalent Chromium on Raw and Activated Cassava Rhizome: Kinetic Analysis Using Mechanistic and Empirical (Regression and ANN) Models Amira Ali Mohammed Makoof Zabanoot, Fatima Mahad Said Issa Al Amri, Hanan Nooh Bilal Al Hamir, Lubna Musallam Ahmed Al Hadhri, Miysam Yaslam Al Abd Al‐Hadhrami, et al. International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, 2025 Heavy metals adsorption by adsorbents prepared from natural materials is a low‐cost, effective method for their removal from aqueous environments. This study aims to investigate the kinetic studies on the adsorption of hexavalent chromium from its aqueous solution on raw and activated cassava rhizome. The coarse and fine raw cassava rhizome powder was activated by thermal (drying), pyrolysis, 1% (v/v) acetic acid, and 1% (w/v) KOH solutions. The batch adsorption studies were carried out by varying time (0–60 min) with adsorption capacity (meq/g) as a dependent variable. Adsorption capacity increased with an increase in time up to 40 min and then remained constant for all adsorbents with variation in adsorption capacity from 1.5 to 2.1 meq/g in the order of fine pyrolysis > fine thermal > fine acid = coarse pyrolysis > fine alkali = coarse thermal > coarse acid > coarse alkali > raw fine > raw coarse. Then, the effect of time on adsorption capacity data was fit to mechanistic models of pseudo‐first, pseudo‐second, zeroth, and half‐order kinetics. Adsorption of hexavalent chromium on raw coarse and fine cassava rhizome powder followed pseudo‐first‐order kinetics. Also, the data were fit to empirical models based on regression and neural network, and the goodness of model fit was evaluated using the correlation coefficient ( R ). Regression analysis indicates the optimal fit with an R value of 0.9948 when the effect of time on adsorption capacity was investigated. Neural network analysis reveals the best fit at an R value of 0.9985. Hence, a higher rate constant for fine particles compared to coarse particles indicates that fine particles have a greater effective surface area and enhanced diffusional properties, facilitating more efficient adsorption, which suggests that the finer particles interact more with the adsorbate, allowing for quicker transport and adsorption processes.
WATER ABSORPTION KINETICS OF WHITE CHICKPEA SAMPLES IN OMAN: IMPLICATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE FOOD PROCESSING Шаріфа Бахіт Алі Аль-Аваїд, Сельвараджу Сівамані Journal of Chemistry and Technologies, 2025 У цьому дослідженні вивчається кінетика водопоглинання чотирьох зразків білого нуту (A, B, C і D), доступних в Омані, з використанням моделі Пелега. Експерименти проводили за кімнатної температури, а вміст вологи вимірювали через рівні проміжки часу до досягнення рівноваги. Для кожного зразка були визначені константа швидкості (k1) і константу ємності (k2) водопоглинання, а відповідність моделі оцінювали за допомогою коефіцієнта детермінації (R²). Зразок C продемонстрував найвищу швидкість поглинання води (k1 = 0.0085) і найшвидше досяг рівноваги з майже ідеальною відповідністю моделі (R² = 0.9999), що робить його найефективнішим з точки зору гідратації. Зразок D продемонстрував схожу швидкість поглинання, але з дещо менш точною відповідністю моделі (R² = 0.9409). Зразок A показав помірну швидкість поглинання з точною відповідністю моделі (R² = 0.9911), тоді як зразок B мав найменшу швидкість поглинання й найдовший час для досягнення рівноваги, що відображено в гіршій відповідності моделі (R² = 0.9559). Ці результати дають уявлення про динаміку водопоглинання білого нуту в Омані, що має значення для харчової промисловості та оптимізації процесів замочування.
