More recently still, emulsified asphalt stabilized with nanoparticles has emerged as an option for the construction field because this substance has many advantages over traditional emulsified asphalt, which is formulated with surfactants that tend to be less stable and more toxic. These new formulations are called Pickering emulsions. They can align with basic sustainability principles. Nanotechnology has gradually been integrated into the field of asphalt processing to make modified asphalt, asphalt mixtures, and other products. In this experiment, we obtained Pickering asphalt 2 emulsions stabilized with polystyrene nanoparticles that showed decreased asphalt globules size and asphalt globules size distribution at greater mixing times and higher temperatures of the aqueous phase. Our analysis of the physical stability of the emulsified asphalt showed compliance with norms on some standardized ASTM tests. In addition, the lack of coalescence after at least 60 days of storage could indicate good permanence over time. Scanning electron microscopy revealed surface-adsorbed polystyrene nanoparticles of asphalt globules. According to these results, special attention is being given to possible applications of these emulsions, perhaps as road surface binders or in waterproofing. These results also establish a solid basis for subsequent development and further research.</p>2024-03-19T10:38:09+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Recent Trends in Fluid Mechanicshttps://engineeringjournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RTFM/article/view/7655A Comparative Study of Neem Oil and Mahogany Oil as Corrosion Inhibitors for Mild Steel Exposed to Hydrochloric Acid2024-03-19T10:38:22+00:00Bula Musaisaacjato620@gmail.comAkinniyi J.

Metals and their alloys naturally tend to react spontaneously with their surroundings, leading to a detrimental impact on their mechanical and physical properties. This project aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two different oils, namely neem oil and mahogany oil, as agents to prevent acid corrosion. Mild steel measuring 3 cm </em><em>×</em><em> 2.7 cm with a weight of 2.21 g was immersed in 0.1M hydrochloric acid and allowed to stand for 120 minutes. Subsequently, it was retrieved, dried, cleaned with distilled water, and weighed for luster. A quantity of 1.00 ml of each oil was applied to the polished surface, and the experiment was repeated. The research revealed that there was a minimized weight loss of the oils within the range of 0.01–0.02. All the oils exhibited inhibitor characteristics against chemical corrosion.</em></p>2024-03-19T10:21:44+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Recent Trends in Fluid Mechanicshttps://engineeringjournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RTFM/article/view/7678Water purifier with quality checks2024-03-19T10:38:22+00:00Sadhana A.sadhana.anandaiah@gmail.comPurvee Kumarisadhana.anandaiah@gmail.comShreya Singhsadhana.anandaiah@gmail.comSufiyan Kallursadhana.anandaiah@gmail.comKavitha K.sadhana.anandaiah@gmail.com<p><em>Water as a resource is the most significant aspect of living organisms. Use of fresh water has been growing rapidly considering the growth of population. Fresh water demand is a never-ending concept across the globe. In the world, domestic, industrial, and building activities are constantly the cause of water pollution. River pollution can disrupt the water supply, which eventually has an impact on domestic and commercial operations. Thus, to identify contaminated water, a water quality monitoring system is required. Water scarcity is a both organic and human made concept. Our focus in this project has been to learn and understand the different technologies that are employed to obtain potable water from the polluted water, apart from the conventional methods and analyze the recent developments in the processes and their area of application. The aim has been to make optimal use of available resources and obtain potable water with minimal energy usage for domestic consumption.</em></p>2024-02-21T05:42:41+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Recent Trends in Fluid Mechanicshttps://engineeringjournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RTFM/article/view/7491Composition of Ideal Fluid Flows Around Cylinder Using Bilinear Transformation2023-12-06T09:48:29+00:00Mohammed Mukhtar Mohammed Zabihmukhtarmaths@gmail.com<p>Advent of conformal mapping eases to model a flow in sought-after domain without trade- off between laws of fluid mechanics and the theory of complex valued-functions. The far-reaching properties manifested by conformal mapping discern and facilitate solution of large class of two-dimensional flow problems. Bilinear transformation is amidst the conformal mappings. The properties, mapping a circular boundary onto horizontal line and composition of bilinear transformations is again a bilinear transformation are steppingstone to study a composition of a flow of an ideal fluid around a cylinder of circular cross-section mounted in the plane. This circumstance simplifies the proposition of combining two flows, which constitutes the primary focus of this paper. As an initial step towards advancing the investigation of fluid flow, an attempt is made herein. However, the process of adding the two fundamental flows is more intricate than it may initially appear.</p>2023-12-06T09:38:12+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Recent Trends in Fluid Mechanicshttps://engineeringjournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RTFM/article/view/7421A Review of Smart Sensor-based Approaches for LPG Gas Leak Detection and Prevention2023-12-06T09:48:30+00:00Shreeya Sanjay Sitapureshreeyasitapure.nbnssoe.ele@gmail.comSai Nandkumar Goregaonkarshreeyasitapure.nbnssoe.ele@gmail.comMegha Raju Panditshreeyasitapure.nbnssoe.ele@gmail.comShubham Gajanan Shindeshreeyasitapure.nbnssoe.ele@gmail.comAtul Ballalshreeyasitapure.nbnssoe.ele@gmail.com<p><em>In recent years, home fires have claimed a growing number of lives and pieces of property. Since it is very flammable, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) can burn even some distance away from the spill. Poor-quality rubber tubes or instances in which the regulator is not turned off are to blame for most fire incidents. Due to the regulator's malfunction, the hob is currently receiving gas from the regulator. Gas leaks might occur if the stove knob is accidentally turned on. As an alternative fuel, the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Kit is frequently fitted inside the vehicle, raising the risk of accidents should a leak develop.</em> <em>Since these types of appliances or kits are automatic in operation, they are not always under the supervision of operating personnel. As a result, the risks associated with their use include the possibility that a gas leak may occur while the appliance is in standby mode, resulting in a significant buildup of combustible gas, which could cause an explosion if the leak is not discovered promptly. The goal of the current research is to develop a safe method of identifying any pressurised gas system malfunctions to stop the buildup of combustible gases and avoid damage or explosion.</em> <em>The system ought to be able to offer a monitoring system that is affordable to produce and can be easily accessible. It is possible to use the project system we designed in household settings such as homes, schools, colleges, and hospitals.</em></p>2023-11-29T09:49:12+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Recent Trends in Fluid Mechanicshttps://engineeringjournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RTFM/article/view/7384Fluid and Ion Transport in Cement-Based Materials: A Systematic Review2023-12-06T09:48:29+00:00Subhojit ChattarajSubhojit.chattaraj@gkcem.ac.inSanjoy ShilSubhojit.chattaraj@gkcem.ac.in<p><em>The development of fluid and ions in some concrete is occurred according to four basic mechanisms: capillary suction is due to capillary action inside of cement paste, permeation due to on pressure gradients, Diffusion is happened due to concentration gradients, and migration is due to electrical potential gradients.</em><em> In this paper the transportation processes in concrete are described.
