Abstract In this paper, a mathematical model has been developed to analyze the double diffusive convective flow of Casson fluid over an inclined stretching sheet with Cattaneo-Christov Heat Flux model. The velocity slip is considered over the surface of the stretching sheet as well. The governing equations for the pertinent model are transformed into non-dimensional highly coupled nonlinear differential equations using similarity transformations. The implicit finite difference method is used to carry out the numerical results and presented the graphs for different values of the physical parameter, Casson fluid parameter, and thermal relation time parameter, chemical… More >

Abstract Convergence of numerical schemes for pipe network analysis requires continuous modelling of pressure losses in the transition region between laminar and turbulent regions. Several existing correlations for the friction factor of straight pipes and helical tubes are presented. Based on these correlations a new explicit correlation for helical tubes with arbitrary surface roughness is derived. The friction factor is expressed as a continuous function of the Reynolds number covering laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow regions. Potential sources of error are also discussed, including the effects of tube deformation caused by the bending process. More >

Abstract The present paper investigates the combined effects of melting phenomenon and viscous dissipation over a steady incompressible mixed convection boundary layer fluid flow along a vertical plate. Radiation and double dispersion are also taken into consideration. Further effect of homogeneous chemical reaction of order ’n’ is studied over the non-Darcy porous plate. Continuum equations that characterize fluid flow are transformed to a set of non linear ordinary differential equations through a suitable similarity transformation. These equations are then solved by MATLAB ’bvp4c’ iterative programming method. As a matter of accuracy and validation, available results are More >

Abstract The combustion and emissions characteristics of methane-air mixtures in high-temperature catalytic micro-combustors were studied numerically. Both the heterogeneous and homogeneous chemistry were modeled simultaneously using detailed reaction mechanisms in order to better understand the role of each pathway in determining the product distributions. Computational fluid dynamics simulations were performed at a variety of pressures, temperatures, compositions, and combustor dimensions to determine their effects on the combustion and emissions characteristics. Comparisons were made between the results obtained for a purely heterogeneous case, a purely homogeneous case, and a coupled homogeneousheterogeneous case. It was shown that homogeneous More >

Abstract Many programming languages provides mechanism to guarantee the error ranges of exact numbers and intervals. However, when they are integrated with unreliable approximated numbers, we cannot rely on the error-ranges anymore. Such unreliable error-ranges may cause serious errors in programs, and especially in safety critical systems they cost us huge amount of money and/or threaten human’s life. Hence, in this paper, we propose a novel number system to safely perform arithmetic operations with guaranteed error ranges. In the number system, exact numbers are separated from approximated numbers, and approximated numbers with strictly guaranteed error-ranges are More >

Abstract Since Turkish is a morphologically productive language, it is almost impossible for a word-based recognition system to be realized to completely model Turkish language. Due to the fact that it is difficult for the system to recognize words not introduced to it in a word-based recognition system, recognition success rate drops considerably caused by out-of-vocabulary words. In this study, a speaker-dependent, phoneme-based word recognition system has been designed and implemented for Turkish Language to overcome the problem. An algorithm for finding phoneme-boundaries has been devised in order to segment the word into its phonemes. After More >

Abstract Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are wireless network without infrastructure and suffering from low power battery. Therefore the main objective in finding a route for traffic transfer from a given source to a given destination is to minimize the node energy consumption. This paper solves the problem of finding a route satisfying the main objective of minimum energy consumption and other QoS requirements such as minimum delay and maximum packet delivery ratio by using linear programming technique. Two cases are considered: 1. The traffic amount of a given request is transmitted into single path, and… More >

Abstract Support Vector Domain Description (SVDD) is an effective kernel-based method used for data description. It was motivated by the success of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and thus has inherited many of its attractive properties. It has been extensively used for novelty detection and has been applied successfully to a variety of classification problems. This classifier aims to find a sphere with minimal volume including the majority of examples that belong to the class of interest (positive) and excluding the most of examples that are either outliers or belong to other classes (negatives). In this paper More >

Abstract In this paper, we study the in uence of multiple domain attributes on the clustering analysis of object based on factor space. The representation method of graphical domain attribute is proposed for the object, which is called attribute circle. An attribute circle can represent infinite domain attributes. The similarity analysis of objects is first based on the concept of attribute circle, and the definition of graphical similarity is transformed into the definition of numerical similarity, and then the clustering analysis method of object set is studied and improved. Considering three kinds of graphical overlap, the… More >

Abstract The rapid development of industry brings great pressure on resource and environment, forcing people to explore the road of ecological development. In China, the level of regional industry ecological development differs from each other due to different economic level of regions. This paper establishes ecoindustrialization index system from aspects of resource consumption, pollution emission, pollution abatement, economic and social development to reveal the connotation and characteristics of industry eco-industrialization, taking Shaanxi Province as an example, and adopts the principal component analysis to evaluate the industry eco-industrialization level of 2001-2015 in Shaanxi. The study shows that… More >
