Most of these bones are treated as slaughterhouse waste and directly exposed to landfills and open environments which causes environmental degradation. This study aims to find out mechanical properties (Tensile, Flexural, and Impact) by varying the bio-filler of epoxy-based composites reinforced by glass fiber. Cow bone (CB) powder is used as a bio filler in this research. The major findings of this study are how cow bone powder effects the mechanical properties of glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites and which amount cow bone powder filler shows good result. From this work, it is observed that the mechanical properties of fabricated composites are improved by adding certain cow bone powder as a filler. It is seen from the result that mechanical properties including tensile and impact properties are improved by adding cow bone powder initially except for flexural strength. After a certain amount of CB percentage, properties begin to fall. The probable reasons for the decrease in mechanical properties are agglomeration, improper particle distribution, and an increase in void percentage as an excess amount of filler absorbs most of the resin than the fiber. The best result was obtained for a 0.5 % CB filled sample. Tensile strength, tensile modulus, elongation at break, and toughness were increased by 31.15 %, 19.32 %, 4.24 %, and 16.68 % than the base sample. Incorporation of cow bone powder increased flexural properties including energy absorption, and stiffness. 0.5 % CB filled sample showed the best result among the five samples in these two properties. In case of flexural strength, incorporation of cow bone powder filler had an adverse effect and flexural strength was gradually decreased by increasing the cow bone powder amount. Maximum flexural strength is shown by base sample and there is a decrease of 5.56 % of flexural strength by 0.5 % CB filled sample. By incorporation of certain amount of cow bone powder, impact strength is increased. The impact strength trend is similar to the tensile strength trend.

This research addresses the gap in understanding the combined effects of these factors on heat and mass transfer in nanofluid systems. The issue stems from the lack of competent models that incorporate these sophisticated factors, which are essential for enhancing heat transfer based on nanofluids in industrial processes. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of slip velocities, thermal jump, and fluid characteristics on the thermal and mass transport behaviour of the hybrid nanofluid. Furthermore, Numerical solutions are developed using the MATLAB bvp4c solver, in combination with an objective-based strategy, to compare the Yamada-Ota and Cross-Hamilton models. The findings show that the concentration, velocity, and temperature distributions are greatly affected by the Troian and Thomson slip velocities. Augmented thermal jump improves heat conveyance however elevated mass dispersion diminishes concentration. The thermal properties are strongly impacted by the second-grade fluid characteristic and the heating source intensity, whereas the Schmidt ratio impacts the concentration distribution.

This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of CFRP-strengthened beam-column joints, incorporating insights into load-deflection behavior, the effects of major investigated parameters, and comparisons with existing research. Special emphasis is placed on hybrid rehabilitation strategies, such as combining epoxy repair with CFRP laminates and concrete jackets, which have demonstrated significant improvements in joint strength, stiffness, and energy absorption capacity. The study also explores the role of lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) in reducing structural self-weight while enhancing impact resistance and energy dissipation. A critical review of ultimate load capacity, stiffness variations, and energy absorption in pre- and post-cracking stages reveals that CFRP and hybrid reinforcement systems effectively optimize structural performance, though environmental exposure and excessive reinforcement layering may influence long-term durability. Comparative analysis with existing studies highlights both aligned trends and significant variations, particularly in post-cracking stiffness retention and failure mechanisms. Equally, the study denotes the emerging role of AI-driven computational modeling and advanced finite element analysis in predicting joint behavior and optimizing design efficiency. Despite these advancements, hurdles remain in CFRP durability under harsh environmental conditions and the need for eco-friendly, sustainable strengthening materials. By handling these gaps, this research contributes to the development of more resilient, adaptable, and sustainable structural systems capable of withstanding evolving load and environmental demands.

This review examines the integration of various nanoparticles, including titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>), copper oxide (CuO), and aluminum oxide (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>), which have demonstrated notable improvements in brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC), and reductions in emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and particulate matter (PM). Non-metallic nanoparticles, such as graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), further enhance engine performance by improving thermal conductivity and fuel atomization. The use of hybrid nanoparticle blends, such as TiO<sub>2</sub>–CuO, capitalizes on synergistic effects to achieve superior combustion characteristics and enhanced emission control. Additionally, emerging materials like cerium oxide (CeO<sub>2</sub>) and calcium oxide (CaO) have shown potential for improving oxidative stability and addressing combustion inefficiencies in biodiesel blends. This study investigates the effects of incorporating these nanoparticles into biodiesel, focusing on their impact on BTE, emission reduction, and overall fuel efficiency. The study also compares the BTE improvements and emission reductions achieved by different nanoparticles and hybrid blends, with a particular emphasis on the synergistic benefits of combining multiple nanoparticle types. The main findings indicate that nanoparticle-enhanced biodiesel blends significantly improve BTE, with Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles leading to a 3.16 %–4.89 % increase, TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles improving BTE by 5.2 % in a B100T50 blend, and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles yielding a 9.83 % improvement in a B30 blend.
