Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKernel Density Estimation for Interdeparture Time of GI/G/1 QueuesHsing Luh, Berlin WuThe departure process of a single queue has been studied since the 1960s. Due to its inherent complexity, closed form solutions for the distribution of the departure process are nearly intractable. In this study, kernel type estimators of the density of interdeparture time in a GI/G/1 queue are studied. Uniform strong consistency of the estimators in a GI/G/1 queue and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBy-pass Devices as Effective Means of Protection from the Hydraulic HammerKhalid S. Al-RababaSwitching-off the parallel working pump units causes sudden discharge changes in parallel pipe lines, as a result of that hydraulic shocks takes place. The damping of these shocks can be achieved by the installation of the by-pass devices between the parallel lines of the piping system. The analytical calculations demonstrate that the reduction in hydraulic shocks reaches 40% and considerable … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Difference Solution for Precooling Process of Fish PackagesK. A. Abbas, F. A. Ansari, A. S. Mokhtar et al.The present work aims at finding an optimized finite difference scheme for the solution of problems involving pure convection heat transfer in slab shaped fresh water fish pieces. A generalized mathematical model was written in dimensionless form and an optimized scheme of the solutions was worked out. A fully explicit finite difference scheme, an implicit finite difference scheme and different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExplicit Finite Difference Solution of Heat Transfer Problems of Fish Packages in PrecoolingA. S. Mokhtar, K. A. Abbas, M.M.H. Megat Ahmad et al.The present work aims at finding an optimized explicit finite difference scheme for the solution of problems involving pure heat transfer from the surfaces of Pangasius Sutchi fish samples suddenly exposed to a cooling environment. Regular shaped packages in the form of an infinite slab were considered and a generalized mathematical model was written in dimensionless form. An accurate sample … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
