A Review on Potential use of Bioherbicides for preventing the growth of weed plants
Abstract: Like pests, disease and other hazards weeds are one of the major problems for farmers. They not only compete with crops for water, nutrients, sunlight, and space but also harbor insect and disease pests, clog irrigation and drainage systems undermine crop quality and deposit weed seeds into crop harvests. They can heavily damage the production of crops as well as they reduce the value of land. Weeds can also host …

Numerical investigation of hydrodynamics of batch crystallizer
Abstract: In this work, hydrodynamics in a draft tubebatch crystallizer is analysed computationally using Computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The CFD simulations are performed using multiple reference frame (MRF) with sliding mesh approach in transient condition for flow time of 5s using the standard k-ε turbulence model. The flow-field in batch crystallizer is quantified by calculating time averaged velocity profiles along the horizontal line and by analysing the temporal variation of liquid …
