Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMAM-An Aquivalence-based Dynamic Mass Balance Model for the Fate of Non-Volatile Organic Chemicals in the Agricultural EnvironmentMohammad A. Batiha, Abdul Amir H. Kadhum, Abu Bakar Mohamad et al.A Multimedia Agricultural Model (MAM) for predicting the fate and transport of Non-Volatile Organic Chemicals (NVOCs) in the agricultural environment was presented. It is an expanded and modified version of the three compartmental model introduced by Batiha and co-authors in 2007, which is an aquivalence-based level IV. MAM considered five environmental compartments to include the air, water, soil, sediment and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultistage Development of Müller-Achenbach model for Shape Memory AlloySimin Ataollahi Oshkovr, Nik Abdullah Nik Mohamed, Che Husna Azhari et al.This research focused on the conceptual development of constitutive Müller-Achenbach model and proceeds to construct a model based on phase transition under changing temperature and load for variants of martensite in shape memory alloy CuAlNi (Copper-aluminum-nickel). Problem statement: Motivation of this research is rare information of a variant of martensite phase (M++) and prediction of the shape recovery of shape … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Comparison of Thermal Stratification due Natural Convection in Densified LOX, LN2 TanksSeyed Ali Jazayeri, Ehsan Molla Hasanzadeh KhoeiThe growth of natural circulation and thermal stratification inside LOX, LN2 storage tanks due to heat transfer from surroundings is investigated using a non-equilibrium, two-domain, mathematical model. The two-dimensional model is considered for the liquid domain in two cases and a lumped, thermodynamic model is utilized for vapor domain. The vapor is assumed to behave like an ideal gas. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,971 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Investigation of Elastoplastic Deformation of a Sandwich Beam on the Elastic FoundationMoh’d Ishaq Abu HalawaElastoplastic bending of a sandwich beam with a rigid compressible filler on an elastic base has been studied. To describe kinematics of asymmetrical across thickness pack in the bearing layers the Bernoulli hypotheses have been accepted. Displacements in the filler vary linearly over thickness. The distributed superficial loading simulates the hydrostatic effect of the ambient liquid. The reaction of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,568 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation Studies on A Cross Flow Plate Fin Heat ExchangerM. Thirumarimurugan, T. Kannadasan, E. RamasamyCompact heat exchangers which were initially developed for the aerospace industries in the 1940s have been considerably improved in the past few years. The main reasons for the good performance of compact heat exchangers are their special design which includes turbulent which in turn use high heat transfer coefficient and resists fouling, and maximum temperature driving force between the hot … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrust in Virtual UniversitiesAsghar Abolhasani Hastiani, Mohammad Ali SarlakThe number of students enrolled at Iranian virtual Universities during 2004-2007 years, annually accounted for less than 0.5% of traditional Iranian universities enrolment. The low rate of virtual Universities enrolment might be due to a low level of student's trust in this type of educational institution. Students with low trust in virtual universities may be less likely to enroll in … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,679 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Quality Improvement Using a Sliding Mode Control of a Series Active FilterTheerayuth ChatchanayuenyongA sliding mode controller (SMC) for a three-phase series active filter was proposed to compensate voltage unbalances, suppress voltage sags and swells and hence improve the power quality of a three-phase ac system. The voltage unbalance compensation and regulation is only based on the positive sequence component decomposition of the supply voltage that is then adjusted to a rated value … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of C*-Integral for Radial Cracks in Annular Discs under Constant Angular Velocity and Internal PressureA.R. Gowhari-Anaraki, F. Djavanroodi, S. ShadlouThe finite element method has been used to predict the creep rupture parameter, C*-Integral for single and double-edge cracks in eight annular rotating discs under constant angular velocity with and without internal pressure. In this study, a new dimensionless creeping crack configuration factor, Q* has been introduced. Power law creeping finite element analyses have been performed and the results are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClosed Form Solution to an Optimal Control Problem by Orthogonal Polynomial ExpansionMohammad Ali Tavallaei, Behrouz TousiIn this study the use of orthogonal polynomials for obtaining a close form solution to optimal control problems with a weighed quadratic cost function, is proposed. The method consists of using the Orthogonal Polynomials for the expansion of the state variables and the control signal. This expansion results in a set of linear equations, from which the closed form solution … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,331 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime-Marching Method for Computations of High-Speed Compressible Flow on Structured and Unstructured GridK.C. Ng, M.Z. Yusoff, K. Munisamy et al.The development of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) compressible codes for 2D structured quadrilateral grid and 3D unstructured hexahedral grid is described. The high-speed flow in a nozzle blade cascade is predicted numerically by solving the 2D/3D Euler Equations in a coupled manner. The new finite volume CFD solvers employ second-order accurate central differencing scheme for spatial discretization and multi-stage Runge-Kutta … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,354 accessesView PDFCite
