In this paper we study the MHD flow and heat transfer of micro polar Nano fluid with prescribed heat flux over an unsteady stretching sheet. The governed partial differential equations are highly nonlinear and they are converted into ordinary differential equations by using the similarity transformations. These equations are solved by implicit finite difference scheme known as Keller Box method. The effects of unsteadiness parameter (S), material parameter (m), viscosity (K), Prandtl number (Pr), Brownian motion parameter (Nb) and thermo phoresis parameter (Nt) on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are studied

In this paper, we studied the effect of hall and heat transfer on the peristaltic pumping of a conducting Newtonian fluid in a channel under the long wavelength approximation. The expressions for the velocity and pressure gradient are obtained analytically. The effects of various pertinent parameters on the pumping characteristics and temperature field are studied in detail with the aid of graphs.

The present paper deals with the effect of Samrudhi, a Juvenile Hormone Analogue (JHA) mimic on 5th instars larvae of Antherea mylitta D. and was studied at interval of 48, 72 and 96 hours for knowing silk performance parameters viz. larval weight, cocoon weight, shell weight and shell ratio (gm). The larvae were reared on arjun leavers (Terminalla arjuna) in the laboratory at temperature range 25+-2oC and 70+-5%RH. It was observed that the weight increased by 10-15% and silk weight by above 10%. The increase in cocoon yield was 8-10kg/100 dfls. Thus, the effect of Samrudhi on 5th instar larvae of Antheraea mylitta D. applied topically may be able to increase tasar silk productivity.
