Steady MHD poiseuille flow between two infinite parallel porous plates in an inclined magnetic field
(2012)
In this paper, we examine the motion of a two dimensional steady flow of a viscous, electrically conducting, incompressible fluid flowing between two infinite parallel porous plates under the influence of transverse magnetic ...
Mathematical model of variable speed pitch regulated turbine in a wind energy conversion system
(2014)
Pitch control of wind turbine in a wind energy conversion system involves the change of the rotor blade pitch angle along the rotor axis. Most compa-nies are faced with the challenge of maintaining a steady and optimal ...
MATHEMATICAL INVESTIGATION ON THE EFFECT OF NUMBER OF BRANCHES ON WATER HAMMER
(Pushpa Publishing House, 2013-10-01)
This paper looks at water hammer with an emphasis on the number of branches. The mathematics of water hammer are described in a transient condition. This includes the momentum and continuity equations for conduits. A ...
Modelling Stratified Flow in an Inclined Flow Channel with a Bend
(International Scientific Press, 2013-07-01)
Multi-phase flows modelling in wellbore has always been a problem to the petroleum and many other industries. In the petroleum industry, correlations are presently in use, most of which are obsolete as their application ...
On the Solution of Confined Aquifer Flow Equations: Finite Difference Approximations
(Hikari Ltd, 2013)
In general, groundwater flow in porous media on a microscopic level is three-dimensional. However, when considering regional flow problems ie groundwater flow on a macroscopic level, it is noted that because of the low ...
Mathematical model of pneumonia and HIV/AIDS coinfection in the presence of protection
(2015)
In this paper, a deterministic co-infection model incorporating protection from infection for both pneumonia infection and HIV/AIDS is considered. The model is shown to be positively invariant as well as bounded. Specifically ...
Weak Solution of the Singular Cauchy Problem of Euler-Poisson-Darboux Equation for n= 4
(2013)
We consider the singular Cauchy problem of Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation (EPD) of the form utt+ k t ut=∇ 2u u (x, 0)= f (x), ut (x, 0)= 0 where∇ 2 is the Laplacian operator in R n, n will refer to dimension and k a real ...
AN ESTIMATE OF VELOCITY PROFILE IN LAMINAR BOUNDARY LAYER
(Academic Publications, Ltd., 2011-09-02)
This paper examines the boundary layer thickness developed for an
incompressible viscous fluid flowing over a flat plate. The solution of the Blasius
problem is considered. In this paper, the authors propose a polynomial ...
Effect of Ga Incorporation and Film Thickness on the Optical Properties of as-Deposited Amorphous GaxSel-x Thin Films
(University if Nairobi Research archive, 2014)
Flash evaporated amorphous GaxSe1-x (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 atomic %) on glass substrates have been
investigated within a 500nm-1500nm spectral range. Film thicknesses explored were ; 200±10nm, 265±10nm,
330±10nm, and ...
3-DIMENSIONAL MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN POROUS MEDIA
(Academic Publications, Ltd., 2011)
An alternative method of the numerical solution of the heat equation is presented. A three-dimensional modelling approach is used in this paper rather than one or two dimensional models in order to account for the lateral ...
