In the current scenario, the applications of natural fibers are increasing enormously due to their biodegradability, low-density and better mechanical properties. This research explains the machining nature of pineapple (P) and flax (F) fibers by the incorporation of cellulose micro filler (CMF). These epoxy-based composites were manufactured using compression moulding. In the machining process using abrasive water jet machining (AWJM), lower kerf angle of 1.31° and surface roughness of 5.1 µm were observed in 30% PF/2% cellulose micro filler hybrid epoxy combination. Agglomeration at higher filler incorporation causes decrease in machinability of hybrid 30% PF. Pineapple and flax hybrid fibers with 30 and 35 wt % showed better machinability at 2 and 3% cellulose micro filler addition. Scanning electron microscopy analysis after machining process showed reduction in flush off and pullouts of fiber by improved compaction with the epoxy matrix due to filler addition.

Carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite materials has unique mechanical and functional properties due to the combination of its constituent materials that possesses desirable properties. The present paper focuses on analysis of surface roughness in drilling of fly ash filled carbon fibre reinforced composites produced through compression moulding route. Experiments are conducted on a radial drilling machine using Taguchi’s experimental design. Drilling test is carried out using coated HSS drill of 6 and 10 mm diameter. The effect of drill diameter, wt % of fly ash, spindle speed and the feed rate are investigated on surface roughness. The relative significance of the various parameters has been found using ANOVA.

This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of widely applied approach of modeling noncircular channels and washcoats of monolithic catalysts with equivalent circular geometrical shapes. For this purpose, catalytic performance of equivalent circular and square channel cross-sectional shapes with single-layer Pt/Al2O3 and dual-layer Fe-ZSM-5+Pt/Al2O3 washcoats are investigated. For the noncircular cross-sections, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics models that consider species gases convection inside the channel bulk flow region, and reaction and diffusion of species inside the washcoat layer(s) are utilized to simulate the performance of one channel of the monolithic catalytic converters. In addition, in order to investigate the amount of inaccuracy of 2D modeling approach for noncircular channels, 2D models are applied to simulate the equivalent monolithic catalysts with circular cross-sections, and the results of the 2D and 3D models are compared together, and also, with the experimental and 1D+1D modeling technique results available in the literature.
