In this manuscript, we have described the analysis of oblique stagnation point flow of a non-Newtonian fluid with variable viscosity. Two-phase nanofluid model is demonstrated. The flow is analyzed in the presence of stagnation point flow. To control the turbulence, we have considered the effects of Magnetohydrodynamics. The estimation of heat flux is analyzed by Fourier law of heat conduction. Effects of variable viscosity on the considered flow are comprehended with the help of Reynold’s model. Similarity transformations are used to change the partial differential equations in to a highly nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations. The declined coupled system of differential equations is tackled numerically using BVP solution method in Maple software. Influence of parameters is highlighted by graphs and tables. The Nusselt number and Skin friction are also pondered through the tables and graphs with the non-dimensional parameters. The Casson fluid parameter performs to quicken the fluid velocity. The system heats up by the effects of dissipation and Joule heating.

Extraction of chemically modified microcrystalline cellulose sheet (MCS) from rice husk is reported using a greener method. MCS is then blended with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) by solution method under optimum conditions. The structural, morphological and physical properties were studied by spectroscopic, scanning electron microscope, gas chromatograph and standard ASTM methods. The result reveals the formation of carbonated microcrystalline cellulose blended polyvinyl alcohol (MCS-b-PVA) with improved mechanical, barrier and carbon di oxide releasing properties. Further, CO 2 releasing ability has made the film suitable for active packaging film for storage of meat products. The chemical mechanistic model for CO 2 release has been also proposed under the influence of hydronium ion and relative humidity in context of a close packet.
