The present paper reports a study on the [Formula: see text] gravity reconstruction scheme in the context of considering standard Chaplygin gas as tachyon scalar field model of dark energy. The solution for reconstructed [Formula: see text] gravity has been obtained from reconstructed potential and scalar field of tachyon based on the standard Chaplygin gas. It has been observed that the equation of state parameter due to the reconstructed torsion contribution to the density and pressure behaves like quintom and is consistent with the observational value of the equation of state parameter for the current universe. The reconstructed [Formula: see text] has then been tested for gravitational perturbation by deriving the frictional term, the effective mass and the sound speed parameter for the gravitational potential and it has been found to be stable against gravitational perturbations through positive value of the squared speed of sound. Finally, statefinder diagnostics has been carried out and the reconstructed [Formula: see text] gravity is found to interpolate between dust and [Formula: see text]CDM phases of the universe.

The present study reports a reconstruction scheme for f(R) gravity with the scale factor a(t)∝(t*−t)2c2 describing the pre-bounce ekpyrotic contraction, where t* is the big crunch time. The reconstructed f(R) is used to derive expressions for density and pressure contributions, and the equation of state parameter resulting from this reconstruction is found to behave like “quintom”. It has also been observed that the reconstructed f(R) has satisfied a sufficient condition for a realistic model. In the subsequent phase, the reconstructed f(R) is applied to the model of the chameleon scalar field, and the scalar field ϕ and the potential V(ϕ) are tested for quasi-exponential expansion. It has been observed that although the reconstructed f(R) satisfies one of the sufficient conditions for realistic model, the quasi-exponential expansion is not available due to this reconstruction. Finally, the consequences of pre-bounce ekpyrotic inflation in f(R) gravity are compared to the background solution for f(R) matter bounce.

Background: In this paper, we have discussed about the rheological analysis on two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of carbon nano-tubes towards a stretching sheet with water as a base nano liquid with convective boundary condition based on the advantages of nano liquid flows in CNT. Methods: Our main focus is on the study on rheological analysis of CNT suspended nano liquid with convective boundary condition using spectral method. Here, similarity transformations are used to transformed the governing boundary layer equations. Results: The resulting nonlinear coupled equations with the relevant boundary conditions are solved numerically using recently developed Spectral Quasilinearization Method (SQLM). Conclusion: The influence of the flow parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration pro les along with skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are depicted and described in forms of graphs and tables.
