Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Treatment of the Mathematical Models for Water PollutionF. B. Agusto, O. M. BamigbolaTo evaluate the environmental impact of pollution, mathematical models play a major role in predicting the pollution level in the regions under consideration. This paper examines the various mathematical models involving water pollutant. We also give the implicit central difference scheme in space, and a forward difference method in time for the evaluation of the generalized transport equation. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Assessment of Solar Chimneys: Part I – Impact of Chimney Height on Power OutputErdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceSolar chimney is a truly sustainable and green energy technology, which is a potential alternative to carbon-based energy economy. The working principle of solar chimneys is based on the buoyant nature of air to turn a turbine that produces electrical power. Solar chimneys are highly in the centre of interest among all solar energy applications since they enable both day … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 29 Jun 2019 · 8,195 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidation of MIKE 11 Model Simulated Data for Biochemical and Chemical Oxygen Demands TransportMahdieh Eisakhani, Md. Pauzi Abdullah, Othman Abd Karim, Amirhossein MalakahmadProblem statement: The aim of the study was to model the discharge, biochemical and chemical oxygen demands (BOD and COD) loads in each cross section of Bertam River in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. Cameron Highlands form the headwater catchment for two major rivers of the lowlands; Pahang River and Perak River. On the other hand, Cameron Highlands is undergoing rapid development … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Jan 2012 · 7,686 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombined Thermal Radiation and Mixed Convection in an Inclined Circular DuctW. Lakhal, S. Trabelsi, E. Sediki, M. MoussaProblem statement: Modeling thermal radiation with simultaneous buoyancy and forced convection for real gases flowing inside system with complex geometry is a difficult task encountered in engineering applications. Purpose of this study was to research numerically the interaction of mixed convection and thermal radiation in laminar air flow inside an inclined cylindrical duct with Uniform Wall Heat Flux (UWHF). This … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Solution of Temperature Field in Hollow Cylinder under Time Dependent Boundary Condition Using Fourier seriesGolamali atefi, Mohammad Ali Abdous, Abdolsaeid GanjehkaviriThe objective of this study is to derive an analytical solution of one dimensional heat conduction equation applied in a hollow cylinder, which is subjected to a periodic boundary condition at the outer surface while the inner surface is insulated. The material is assumed to be homogenous and isotropic with time-independent thermal properties. Because of the time-dependent term in the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,533 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Confinement on the Axial Performance of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Wrapped RC ColumnA. Rajasekaran, P.N. Raghunath, K. SugunaThe combined effect of internal steel ties and external FRP wrap was investigated using nine reinforced concrete columns with varying thickness of external wrap. The load, deflection and lateral expansions were studied at yield state and ultimate state. The results from the experimental investigations were used for performing a multi-variate linear regression analysis incorporating the contribution of tie spacing as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrient Digestibility and Gas Production of Some Tropical Feeds Used in Ruminant Diets Estimated by the in vivo and in vitro Gas Production TechniquesPaya Hamid, Taghizadeh Akbar, Janmohammadi Hossein, Moghadam Gholam AliSome feedstuffs which used in ruminants diet (corn grain, soybean meal, wheat bran and alfalfa) were analyzed for chemical composition, apparent in vivo nutrient digestibility, in vitro fermentation gas production and metabolizable energy. Chemical composition of test feeds differed in nutrient contents. Initially apparent in vivo digestibility of alfalfa nutrients were obtained then digestibility of nutrients for the other test … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree Dimensional Flow Analyses in a Diagonal Type MHD GeneratorTriwahju Hardianto, Nobuomi Sakamoto, Nob. HaradaThis paper studied development of the three dimensional flow fields in a diagonal channel MHD generator. A diagonal insulating sidewalls type channel is proposed in this work. The partial-differential equations for the three momentum, the enthalpy and the electrical fields are solved by a finite-difference calculation procedure. The turbulence phenomenon is represented by two-equation turbulence model. Calculations have been made … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,917 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBulk and Interface Configuration on the Performances of Perovskite Solar CellsSankara Issiaka, Soumaïla Ouédraogo, Daouda Oubda et al.The ongoing search for energy conversion technologies that are more efficient, affordable, and sustainable than traditional solar cells have led researchers to look at other technologies. Among these technologies, perovskite-based solar cells seem increasingly credible, as they have the potential to achieve high energy conversion efficiencies that rival or even surpass those of silicon solar cells, which currently dominate the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 7 Nov 2023 · 6,018 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study on the Effect of Linear Friction of Long-Wave Propagation and Breaking with Sloping BottomAgustinus RibalIn this study, we investigate the breaking of long-waves propagating on shallow water with linear friction on the sloping bottom. A complete set of equations is presented and a numerical method is developed to simulate the wave propagation. The method uses an up-wind difference scheme for the nonlinear convective term and the central difference scheme for other derivative terms.
