    Mathematical Modelling and Simulations of Active Direct Methanol Fuel Cell

    RABIRANJAN MURMUa,b, DEBASHIS ROYa, HAREKRUSHNA SUTARb

    Journal of Polymer Materials, Vol.40, No.3-4, pp. 125-139, 2023, DOI:10.32381/JPM.2023.40.3-4.1

    Abstract A one dimensional isothermal model is proposed by modelling the kinetics of methanol transport at anode flow channel (AFC), membrane and cathode catalyst layer of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). Analytical model is proposed to predict methanol cross-over rate through the electrolyte membrane and cell performance. The model presented in this paper considered methanol diffusion and electrochemical oxidation at the anode and cathode channels. The analytical solution of the proposed model was simulated in a MATLAB environment to obtain the polarization curve and leakage current. The effect of methanol concentration on cell voltage and leakage current is studied. The methanol… More >

    MODELLING OF COMBINED HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER OF WATER DROPLETS IN THERMAL TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT

    Gintautas Miliauskas*, Stasys Sinkunas, Kristina Norvaisiene, Kestutis Sinkunas

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.3, No.2, pp. 1-6, 2012, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v3.2.3006

    Abstract Water droplet evaporation process is numerically modelled under various heat and mass transfer conditions. Regularities of heat transfer process interaction are examined. Modelling in this work was performed using the combined analytical – numerical method to investigate heat and mass transfer in the two-phase droplets-gas flow system. The influence of forced liquid circulation on the thermal state of droplets is taken into account by the effective coefficient of thermal conductivity. Calculating the rate of droplet evaporation and the intensity of convective heating, the influence of the Stefan’s hydrodynamic flow is taken into account. Balancing energy fluxes in the droplet to… More >

    Discrete Element Modelling of Damage Evolution of Concrete Considering Meso-Structure of ITZ

    Weiliang Gao1, Shixu Jia2, Tingting Zhao2,3,*, Zhiyong Wang2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 3495-3511, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.046188

    Abstract The mechanical properties of interfacial transition zones (ITZs) have traditionally been simplified by reducing the stiffness of cement in previous simulation methods. A novel approach based on the discrete element method (DEM) has been developed for modeling concrete. This new approach efficiently simulates the meso-structure of ITZs, accurately capturing their heterogeneous properties. Validation against established uniaxial compression experiments confirms the precision of this model. The proposed model can model the process of damage evolution containing cracks initiation, propagation and penetration. Under increasing loads, cracks within ITZs progressively accumulate, culminating in macroscopic fractures that traverse the mortar matrix, forming the complex,… More >

    News Modeling and Retrieving Information: Data-Driven Approach

    Elias Hossain1, Abdullah Alshahrani2, Wahidur Rahman3,*

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.38, No.2, pp. 109-123, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2022.029511

    Abstract This paper aims to develop Machine Learning algorithms to classify electronic articles related to this phenomenon by retrieving information and topic modelling. The Methodology of this study is categorized into three phases: the Text Classification Approach (TCA), the Proposed Algorithms Interpretation (PAI), and finally, Information Retrieval Approach (IRA). The TCA reflects the text preprocessing pipeline called a clean corpus. The Global Vectors for Word Representation (Glove) pre-trained model, FastText, Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), and Bag-of-Words (BOW) for extracting the features have been interpreted in this research. The PAI manifests the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Network… More >

    Digital Engineering and Digital Twin, Vol.2, pp. 1-31, 2024, DOI:10.32604/dedt.2023.044930

    Abstract The advent of technology around the globe based on the Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Cyber-Physical Systems, and digitalisation. This advancement introduced industry 4.0. It is challenging to measure how enterprises adopt the new technologies. Industry 4.0 introduced Digital Twins, given that no specific terms or definitions are given to Digital Twins still challenging to define or conceptualise the Digital Twins. Many academics and industries still use old technologies, naming it Digital Twins. This young technology is in danger of reaching the plateau despite the immense benefit to sectors. This paper proposes a novel and unique definition for… More >

    Journal of New Media, Vol.5, No.1, pp. 65-80, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jnm.2023.045792

    Abstract YouTube videos on sustainable fashion enable the public to gain basic knowledge about this concept. In this paper, we analyse user comments on YouTube videos that contain sustainable fashion content. The paper’s main objective is to help content creators and business managers effectively understand the perspectives of viewers, thus improving video quality and developing business. We analysed a dataset of 17,357 comments collected from 15 sustainable fashion YouTube videos. First, we use Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a topic modelling technique, to discover the abstract topics. In addition, we use two approaches to rank these topics: ranking based on proportion and… More >

    MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF AU-WATER NANOFLUID FLOW IN WAVY CHANNELS

    Suripeddi Srinivasa , Akshay Guptab,*, Ashish Kumar Kandoib

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.5, pp. 1-12, 2014, DOI:10.5098/hmt.5.21

    Abstract The present work deals with the flow and thermal analysis of nanofluid in the wavy channels. The governing flow equations are solved numerically using CFD package assuming single phase approach. To study the effect of the concentration and size variation of the nanoparticle, the concentration and size are varied from 0% - 5% and 25 nm - 100 nm respectively over the Reynolds number range of 250-1500 for Au-water nanofluid. The effect on heat transfer enhancement because of corrugation of wavy channel is analyzed on four different shapes (sinusoidal, triangular, trapezoidal and square) channels. The effect of amplitude of the… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.2, pp. 2189-2204, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.035250

    Abstract Visible light communication (VLC) has a paramount role in industrial implementations, especially for better energy efficiency, high speed-data rates, and low susceptibility to interference. However, since studies on VLC for industrial implementations are in scarcity, areas concerning illumination optimisation and communication performances demand further investigation. As such, this paper presents a new modelling of light fixture distribution for a warehouse model to provide acceptable illumination and communication performances. The proposed model was evaluated based on various semi-angles at half power (SAAHP) and different height levels for several parameters, including received power, signal to noise ratio (SNR), and bit error rate… More >
