Impact of Darcy–Forchheimer Inertial Drag and Heat Dissipation on Micropolar Hybrid Nanofluid Flow via Expanding Surface

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hybrid nanofluid integrated with micropolar fluid shows growing interest due to the enhanced thermal performance in microscale devices. These improved properties are due to their greater thermal conductivity and rotational effects. The proposed study assesses the significance of velocity slip on the flow characteristic of micropolar ...

From Hemp Bast to Lyocell Fiber: Sustainable Process Optimization for Lyocell‐Grade Dissolving Pulp

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a sustainable method to produce lyocell‐grade dissolving pulp from Canadian hemp bast fibers. A simplified alkali‐chelation‐bleaching process, free from sulfur and chlorine, yielded high α‐cellulose pulp with low lignin and hemicellulose content. The pulp was successfully spun into continuous hemp‐based lyocell fibers, demonstrating
