This study aimed to isolate stress-tolerant phytobeneficial bacteria as bio-inoculants for cowpea's sustainable growth under drought and nutrient deficiency conditions. However, the application successful of phytobeneficial bacteria is subject to effective in vitro screening under different physiological conditions. We isolated several Priestia species from cowpea rhizosphere that tolerates polyethylene glycol (PEG6000)-induced drought and nutrient deficiency. Of them, C8 (Priestia filamentosa; basonym: Bacillus filamentosus), followed by C29 (Priestia aryabhattai; basonym: Bacillus aryabhattai), tolerated up to 20% PEG in a low-nutrient medium. In the presence of PEG, Priestia filamentosa and Bacillus aryabhattai exhibited optimal growth in different temperatures and pH but failed to survive at extreme temperatures of 45 °C and pH 11. Priestia filamentosa preferred L-proline and L-glutamate, while L-tryptophan and L-tyrosine were the least utilized. Interestingly, Priestia filamentosa and Bacillus aryabhattai used more complex nitrogen sources, peptone, and yeast extract, than inorganic nitrogen for growth. Most importantly, under drought and nutrient deficiency, Priestia filamentosa exhibited multiple plant growth-promoting traits and more amylase and protease production than C29. Our results indicate that Priestia filamentosa is a potential bacterium to enhance the growth of cowpea plants under stressful conditions.

Experiments are performed to study the influence of an oblique jet on convective heat transfer to a vertical heated plate. The local heat transfer coefficient is investigated parametrically for Reynolds numbers ranging from 10000 to 75000 and jet to plate spacing of 3–20 d for different inclinations of a jet in the range of 15°–75°. The experiments are carried out on a flat rectangular surface of 600 × 300 × 0.1 mm3, hit by a jet of 11.5 mm diameter, with air as the working fluid. The infrared technique is used to examine the temperature contours over the entire section of the test plate. The present investigation deals with the effect of inclination on cooling at different locations over the plate locally in all directions from the point of impingement. The effect of Reynolds number and jet to plate spacing due to inclined jet at different orientations on the longitudinal, lateral, and intercardinal axial location is studied. The study also focuses on the heat transfer phenomenon happening on the far side of the test plate. The correlation analysis is performed on the current experimental data. The local Nusselt number correlations for the inclined jet are suggested that predict the present experimental results as a function of the geometrical and flow parameters. © 2022 Elsevier Masson SAS
