The purpose of the study is to developed the effect of Nusselt number on impeller diameter in agitated vessel, which is beneficial to find out the heat transfer coefficient in the process industry. A comparison has been done between the experimental and calculated Nusselt numbers with standard deviation found to be 8.03 per cent.

For studying the effect of impeller diameter on Nusselt Number, the heat transfer measurements were made with three different impellers of diameter. Although the diameter of impeller, D_a shows its effect in Reynolds number, an attempt has been made to find the relationship between the impeller diameter and Nusselt number. A correlation between (N_Nuj/N^″_Pra^1/3 N^″_Rea^2/3) vs D_a/D_T and (N_Nuoc/N^″_Pra^1/3 N^″_Rea^2/3) vs D_a/D_c in which data of three fluids [1, 2 and 4 per cent carboxy methyl cellulose solution of A type (CMC-A) solutions] have been plotted.

The heat transfer data for agitated Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids have been successfully correlated by using the viscosity of the fluid evaluated at the impeller tip assuming a cylinder of diameter equal to that of impeller rotating in an infinite fluid. Data of 1, 2 and 4 per cent CMC-A, for three impeller diameters, have been correlated by equations. Using the above concepts of Reynolds and Prandtl numbers, Nusselt Numbers and D_a/D_T, it is also possible to correlate the available published data for other non-Newtonian fluids obtained with different impeller geometries.

A set up was made for studying the effect of impeller diameter, the heat transfer measurements were made with three impellers of diameter 7.5, 12.7 and 18.35 cm respectively. Although the diameter of impeller, Da shows its effect is Reynolds number, an attempt has been made to find the effect of D_a/D_T ratio on Nusselt number.

The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that may have an influence on the continuous intention to use mobile money as one of the Financial Technology (FinTech) products beyond the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown period.

This study has empirically tested the expanded post-acceptance model (Extend-PAM) and the expectation-confirmation model (ECM) to explain the mobile money adoption in Jordan. Data collected were analyzed through partial least squares–structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).

The results mainly showed that the quality of administrative services and trust significantly impact confirmation and perceived usefulness. In addition, perceived security and knowledge of mobile money as one of the FinTech services significantly influence users’ confirmation and perceived usefulness. Also, usefulness and satisfaction influence continuous intention. Significant relationships were noted among confirmation, perceived usefulness, satisfaction and continuous intention to use mobile money.

This paper integrates two key theories: the expanded post-acceptance model (Extend-PAM) and the expectation-confirmation model (ECM) in the post-adoption behavior of mobile money. Therefore, this study attempts to fill a literature gap by examining the antecedent factors that influence the continuous intention to use mobile money services in the post-consumption stage.
