An unsteady convective flow and heat transfer of a micropolar fluid past a continuously moving verticaI porous plate with time dependent suction and in the presence of radiation has been analyzed numericaIly. With appropriate transformations the boundary layer equations are transformed into a set of nonlinear ordinary differentiaI equations. The locaI similarity solutions in time of the transformed dimensionless equations for the flow, microrotation and the heat transfer characteristics are evaIuated using the Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique. NumericaI results are presented in the form of velocity, microrotation and temperature profiles within the boundary layer for different parameters entering into the analysis. FinaIly, the skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer are tabulated for the pertinent parameters.
The adsorption of a reactive dye (Procion Red) from aqueous solution onto activated carbon was investigated. The effect of contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage and temperature were studied. The equilibrium data were described well by both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption kinetics was tested for pseudo-first-order, pseudo-sec - ond order, intraparticle diffusion and unified approach kinetic models. The unified approach model de scribed the kinetic data in accor dance with the experimental data and the forward and backward rate constants were evaluated from the model fittings. The adsorption is highly pH dependent and adsorption efficiency in creases with the decrease in pH. Thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption process suggested that the process was endothermic. The adsorption capacity of regenerated activated carbon showed more than 70 percent recovery of the adsorption efficiency of the initial virgin adsorbent.
