A batch study was carried out to optimize four process parameters such as particle size (1–5 mm), pH (4–7), mix ratio (1:1–1:3) of substrates (empty fruit bunch, EFB and palm oil mill effluent, POME) and supplementary nutrient as non-food cassava starch (0–2 % w/w). The parameters were evaluated based on the results of electrical conductiv

The separation of flow for unsteady problem occurred on some events even though the fluid is laminar flow. In this paper, the times when then boundary layer flow start to separate from flowing at the surface of a sphere are investigated in the presence of magnetic field. It is also considered that the fluid flow and heat transfer are governed by bo

Tafel polarisation method is widely used in corrosion studies but relies heavily on the accurate extrapolation of the linear regions. To eliminate the ambiguity in the linear extrapolation, the present study develops a quantitative method based on piecewise linear regression analysis. In this method, the entire polarisation data is divided into sma
