Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRiver Embankment and Bank Failure: A Study on Geotechnical Characteristics and Stability AnalysisMd. Bellal Hossain, Toshinori Sakai, Md. Zakaria HossainProblem statement: Embankment failure and riverbank erosion are common problem in Bangladesh. Almost every year earthen embankments and riverbanks are facing problems like erosion, breaching or retirements. Among many reasons the major causes are considered due to the use of geotechnically unstable materials, improper method of construction, seepage and sliding. In this study the problem is considered geotechnical point of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 11,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Efficiency of Double Pass Solar Collector with Longitudinal Fins AbsorbersAhmad Fudholi, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Mohd Hafidz Ruslan et al.Problem statement: One of the most important components of a solar energy system is the solar collector. The performances of double-pass solar collector with longitudinal fins absorbers are analyzed. Approach: The study involves a theoretical study to investigate the effect of mass flow rate, number and height of fins on efficiency, which involves steady-state energy balance equations on the longitudinal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 8,066 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObject Oriented Modeling of Thermostatically Controlled Devices for Cold Load Pick-upAlexandre de Assis Mota, Lia Toledo Moreira Mota, Claudia Cotrim PezzutoProblem statement: During service restoration, the power level at buses can significantly differ from the one presented under steady-state conditions, demanding an amount of electric power significantly higher than the normal load. Hence, their post-outage behavior must be adequately forecasted in order to permit the development of reliable restoration plans, or to avoid inadequate actions that may lead to a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 6,847 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Model of the Optimum Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger for a Condenser of Vapor-Compression Refrigeration CycleP. Yeunyongkul, P. Sakulchangsatjatai, P. TerdtoonProblem statement: This study theoretically investigated applying heat pipe as a heat exchanger in the condenser of vapor compression refrigeration system for sustainable well-being. Split-type air conditioner for residential propose was considered. To reduce pressure drop and recover heat from the condensing process of the refrigeration cycle, this investigation tried to use Closed Loop Oscillating Heat Pipe (CLOHP) instead of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,631 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid of Fuzzy and Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller for Electro-Hydraulic Position Servo SystemPornjit Pratumsuwan, Siripun Thongchai, Surapun TansriwongProblem statement: While classical PID controllers are sensitive to variations in the system parameters, Fuzzy controllers do not need precise information about the system variables in order to be effective. However, PID controllers are better able to control and minimize the steady state error of the system. To enhance the controller performance, hybridization of these two controller structures comes to … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 10,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCost Analysis of a Two Dissimilar-Unit Cold Standby Redundant System Subject to Inspection and Random Change in UnitsG. S. Mokaddis, C. H. MattaProblem statement: This study deled with the cost analysis of a two dissimilar unit cold standby redundant system subject to inspection and random change in units. In this system each unit works in two different modes normal and total failure. Assuming that the failure, repair, post repair, interchange of units and inspection times are stochastically independent random variables each having … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Exact Root Algorithm for Computing the Real Roots of an Nth Degree PolynomialE. A. Adebile, V. I. IdokoProblem statement: The need to find an efficient and reliable algorithm for computing the exact real roots of the steady-state polynomial encountered in the investigation of temperature profiles in biological tissues during Microwave heating and other similar cases as found in the literature gave rise to this study. Approach: The algorithm (simply called ERA-Exact Root Algorithm) adopted polynomial deflation technique … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDissolved Ammonia Adsorption in Water Using Over Burnt BrickShukra Raj Paudel, Bhagwan Ratna KansakarProblem statement: The groundwater of Kathmandu Valley contained very high concentration of ammonia nitrogen which was in excess of WHO guideline value for drinking water. Approach: This study mainly focused on the removal of ammonia nitrogen in water by adsorption in locally available over burnt brick. The study was carried out in a 4.2 cm internal diameter column of 120 … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcoustic Echo Cancellation: Dual Architecture ImplementationB. Stark, B. D. BarkanaProblem statement: With the rise in mobile communication, it is becoming more frequent to use a communication device in an enclosed noisy environment, such as a subway or in a lobby. In this setting however, the received microphone is severely degraded by the echo from the speaker and background noise. The audio processing necessary to clarify the desired speech can … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Modeling of Groundwater Flow in Karst Aquifer, Makeng Mining AreaF. M. Rani, Z. H. ChenProblem statement: Making iron ore is one of the largest mining projects in south east of china. Due to the development of mining activities in that site, it has become necessary to increase the depth of exploration. Increase the exploration depth makes the mining tunnels subjected to the karst water inrush. Approach: A hydrological and a hydrogeological model for the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,467 accessesView PDFCite
