Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoret and Dufour Effects on Natural Convection Flow Past a Vertical Surface in a Porous Medium with Variable Surface TemperatureHassan A.M. El-ArabawyProblem statement: In this research the researchers studied and made an analysis to the heat and mass transfer characteristics of natural convection about a vertical surface embedded in a saturated porous medium with surface temperature distribution proportional to xλ by taking into account the diffusion-thermo (Dufour) and thermal-diffusion (Soret) effects. Approach: The governing partial differential equations were transformed into a … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,485 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving Volterra's Population Model Using New Second Derivative Multistep MethodsK. Parand, G. HojjatiIn this study new second derivative multistep methods (denoted SDMM) are used to solve Volterra's model for population growth of a species within a closed system. This model is a nonlinear integro-differential where the integral term represents the effect of toxin. This model is first converted to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation and then the new SDMM, which has good … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,908 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Thermal Explosion of Sensitized Reaction with Variable Heat LossK.S. Adegbie, F.I. AlaoThis study discusses the influence of heat loss on the critical ignition temperature and Frank-Kamenetskii parameter of a non-linear ordinary differential equation arising in thermal sensitized reaction. The reaction obeys the Arrhenius expression with temperature dependent pre-exponential factor, taking heat exchange between the reacting material and its surrounding into account. The consequences of heat loss are explored within the framework … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2007 · 6,923 accessesView PDF Cite
