In this study, a composite disc with Kevlar (491PR-286) material was modeled. Kevlar consists of very strong fibers of very light carbon origin. That is why they are used quite often in unmanned aerial vehicles and spacecraft. The disc has been subjected to thermal stress under a linearly increasing temperature distribution. The temperature limit conditions were applied as 25 °C, 50 °C, 75 °C, 100 °C, and 150 °C. The obtained findings were determined using a computer program, the psedudospectral Chebyshev method, and analytically in three different ways. The main difference between this study and other studies is that it investigates the thermal stresses occurring in circular discs using different methods. The results obtained are compared fairly among themselves and presented with graphs. It was determined that tangential stresses were higher than radial stresses at the studied temperature values. In the analytical study conducted, the radial stresses on the inner and outer surfaces of the disc were determined to be zero for the boundary conditions. Under the increasing temperature distribution from the inner surface to the outer surface, tangential stresses occurred as tensile stress on the inner part of the disc and compressive stress on the outer part. Under the decreasing temperature distribution from the inner surface to the outer surface, tangential stresses are pressed on the inner part of the disc, resulting in a tensile stress on the outer part. It is observed that with increasing temperature, there is an increase in radial and tangential stress values. At the end of the study, it was concluded that Kevlar (491PR-286) material discs can be used at high temperatures.

Hexacyanoferrate(III) [HCF(III)] was used to oxidize thiocarbohydrazide (TCH) in an aqueous perchloric acid (HClO4) medium, and the reaction kinetics were studied spectrophotometrically at 420 nm while keeping a constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm−3 and modulating the temperature between 298K–318K. The stoichiometry of the reaction among TCH and HCF in the HClO4 medium is 1:2. The reaction has a lower than unit order in both TCH and HClO4 and is of the first order in HCF. The impact of varying the ionic strength and dielectric constant of the medium on the rate has been investigated. The effect of temperature on the reaction rate was studied, and different activation parameters of reaction Ea, ΔH#, ΔS#, ΔG#, and log10 A were calculated. The products of oxidation were analyzed by simple qualitative analysis. On the basis of the collected data, the rate law has been derived, and a probable mechanism has been proposed.

In this study, the calculated thermal stresses on a layered annular circular disk were analyzed analytically. At the end of the analysis, it was observed that the thermal tensile strength of the boron carburetor (B4C) with a high modulus of elasticity is higher than titanium, and titanium is more than aluminum. The results obtained are shared with the literature and presented with graphs.

Nanocarbon materials, with their size and unique properties, have found a range of uses in agriculture. These uses include improving soil quality, managing nutrients, controlling pests, purifying water, and monitoring crop growth. Nanocarbon materials help improve the structure of the soil and retain nutrients, creating an environment where plants can thrive. They also serve as carriers for controlled nutrient release and promote plant development. In pest management, nanocarbon-based formulas deliver pesticides or helpful microorganisms with precise targeting to minimize environmental harm. When it comes to water purification and bioremediation, nanocarbons’ ability to adsorb contaminants makes them a valuable tool for cleaning water sources. Additionally, nanocarbon is used in crop monitoring systems that provide real-time information on plant health and environmental conditions, helping farmers optimize their practices. However, for nanocarbons to be widely adopted in agriculture, safety concerns must be addressed, along with approvals and cost-effectiveness considerations, to ensure their integration into farming methods.
