The inhibitive action of the ethanol extract of oil from Picralima nitida seeds, towards acid corrosion of zinc, is tested using weight loss, and thermometry methods. It was found that the extract acts as a good corrosion inhibitor for zinc corrosion in 0.1M HCl solution. The inhibitory action of the extract was dis…
The inhibitive effect of Moringa leaf (LE) and Moringa seed (SE) on mild steel corrosion in 1M H2SO4 solution was investigated using standard weight loss at 32oC and 60oC.The analysis of the experimental results revealed that the leaves and seeds extract establish their inhibitive action through adsorption of phytoch…
Synthetic fibers (such as glass, carbon, ceramic fibers, etc) which were imported at huge cost could be replaced by natural fibers such as flax, hemp, jute, kenaf, etc. and widely used. In this research work, banana fiber reinforced vinylester matrix composites have been developed by hand layup molding technique wit…
This paper presents an interactive M-file algorithm capable of running in a MATLAB environment, which can estimate the number of theoretical plates a distillation column ought to contain at total reflux to efficiently separate a multicomponent mixture into their individual components. Fenske’s model was used to achi…
This work is on the optimization of the inhibition efficiency of bitter kola leaf extract as corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in H2SO4. Gravimetric method was employed in the corrosion inhibition study. It was supplemented by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometric and scanning electron microscopic anal…
