Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Environmental Change on Human Health: A Descriptive Economic AnalysisUttam Paudel, Shiva Raj Adhikari, Krishna Prasad PantEnvironmental dilapidation in developing countries upsurges the incidence of human diseases leading to societal impoverishment in the disease rampant areas. Literatures on economic evaluation of effects of environmental changes on human health are scanty. This paper descriptively reconnoiters major environmental changes, spread of diseases, associated household cost including health costs and finally benefits from the improvement of environment through household … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 7 Jan 2019 · 8,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMapping, Characterization and Dispersion of Metallic Pollutants within a Catchment of Illegal Gold Mining Activities in GhanaWiafe Samuel, Richard Buamah, Helen Essandoh, Lawrence DarkwahThe illegal gold mining activities prevalent in most part of Ghana have caused substantial havoc to the environment especially water bodies which serve as sources of water for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes. The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) recently shut down their water treatment plant due to the extreme pollution and high cost of treatment. This study focusses on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2018 · 8,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaminar Forced Convection and Heat Transfer Characteristics in a Square Channel Equipped with V-Wavy SurfaceAmnart Boonloi, Withada JedsadaratanachaiThe numerical investigations on flow pattern and heat transfer characteristic in a heat exchanger channel equipped with V-wavy surface are examined. The influences of the flow attack angles (α = 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55° and 60°) and wavy surface arrangements (V-tip pointing downstream called "V-Downstream", V-tip pointing upstream called "V-Upstream) are investigated for laminar regime, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2017 · 6,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Investigation on Performance Improvement in Tube Inserted with Delta Winglets on Discrete Right-Angled Triangular PlatesAmnart Boonloi, Withada JedsadaratanachaiNumerical investigations on flow topology and heat transfer behavior in a round tube heat exchanger inserted with Delta Winglets (DW) on Discrete Right-angled Triangular Plates (DRTP) are performed. The influences of DW heights; b/D or BR = 0.05-0.25 and flow directions; DW with V-Downstream (DWVD) and DW with V-Upstream (DWVU), are studied for turbulent flow; Re = 3000-10,000. The finite … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2017 · 7,054 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Investigation on Turbulent Forced Convection in Heating Channel Inserted with Discrete V-Shaped BafflesAmnart Boonloi, Withada JedsadaratanachaiThe numerical examinations on flow visualization, heat transfer characteristic and performance improvement in a square duct inserted with discrete V-shaped baffles (DVB) are reported. The DVB is designed to reduce the pressure loss when compared with the V-shaped baffle. The influences of the flow blockage ratios (b/H, BR = 0.05-0.20), V-tip directions (V-Downstream and V-Upstream) are investigated for Reynolds number, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2016 · 7,118 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Status of Fishes in the Yangtze River and its Ecological Health AssessmentChun-Jiao Lu, Jin-Jing Duan, Muhammad Junaid et al.The Yangtze River, ranking behind the Nile and the Amazon rivers, is the third longest river in the world. The Three Gorges Dam constructed on the Yangtze River dramatically altered the ecological environment in the surroundings. In this review, we integrated the published data about the Three Gorges Project and systematically analyzed the status of fish population in the Three … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 4 Apr 2016 · 10,529 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability and Economic Analysis of a Power Generating System Comprising One Gas and One Steam Turbine with Random InspectionDalip Singh, Gulshan TanejaReliability and economic analysis for a power generating system comprising one gas and one steam turbine has been done wherein the inspection for doing one of the three types of maintenance (Minor, Path or Major) is carried out randomly. Initially, both the units i.e., the gas turbine as well as the steam turbine are operating. On failure of the gas … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 1 Jan 2015 · 8,436 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPERFORMANCE OF TOPOLOGY AWARE RELIABLE ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR LARGE SCALE VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKJayanthi Gokulakrishnan, V. Thulasi BaiA network which merges the usage of the public and the private networks and uses security software for the purpose of compressing, encrypting and masking the digital packets that are being transmitted in the network is called as Virtual Private Network (VPN). In VPN, the communication between the user ends is maintained such that it appears as if the source … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 23 Jun 2014 · 6,666 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFORCED CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER, FLOW CONFIGURATION AND THERMAL PERFORMANCE IN A SQUARE CHANNEL WITH MODIFIED V-SHAPED BAFFLESAmnart Boonloi, Withada JedsadaratanachaiThe influences of modified V-shaped baffle in a square channel for heat transfer and thermal performance enhancement are presented numerically in three Dimensional (3D). The V-shaped baffles are modified in order to comfortable to installation in the square channel. The plates are used for clamping on both the upper and lower V-shaped baffles resulting the modified V-shaped baffle like orifice … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2014 · 6,692 accessesView PDFCite
