Comparative Study of Molecular Interactions in Binary Liquid Mixtures of 4-Methyl-2-Pentanone with Aniline, N, N-Dimethyl Aniline and Chlorobenzene at 308 K
Abstract: The ultrasonic velocity (u), density (ρ) and viscosity (η) have been restrained for binary mixtures of 4-methyl-2-pentanone with butan-2-one, cyclohexanone and furfuraldehyde at temperature T=308K at changed mole fractions. The experimental data have been used to calculate the acoustical and thermo-dynamical parameters like adiabatic compressibility (βad), free length (Lf), free volume (Vf), internal pressure (πi), acoustical impedance, Gibb’s free energy and their excess volumes in particular, it is seen that …

Fabrication and characterization of Aluminum-Granite-Graphite Metal Matrix Composite
Abstract: Moving machine elements are constantly subjected to wear and tear. Machine life can be improved by using hard and wear resistant materials. Most of machine elements are made of metals or alloys. These materials alone cannot meet the requirements of design of long-life machines. Naturally occurring hard materials lack the strength to withstand the machine loads. Composite materials provide the solution to such requirements. Based on requirement, a composite material …
