DRAG REDUCTION STUDY OF A MICROFIBER-COATED CYLINDER

Drag reduction study of a microfiber-coated cylinder

Abstract Drag reduction for a bluff body is imperative in a time here of increasing awareness of the environmental impact and sustainability of air travel.Microfiber coating has demonstrated its ability to reduce drag on a bluff body.This was done by applying strips of the coating to a cylinder.To widen the application range of the microfiber coati

Production and characterization of bioemulsifier from a marine bacterium, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus subsp. anitratus SM7

Marine bacterium strain SM7 was isolated as a bioemulsifier-producing bacterium from oil-spilled seawater in Songkhla lagoon, Thailand.It was identified as Acinetobacter calcoaceticus subsp.anitratus based on morphology, biochemicalcharacteristics and 16S rRNA sequence.A.calcoaceticus g35 coupe fender subsp.anitratus SM7 produced an extracellular e
