Title | : | Universal Theory on Planetary Motion |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Debangshu Paul |
ABSTRACT: This thesis explains why planets rotate on their axis in a particular angle? And why planets are in elliptical orbits? I took a simple ball which was in a big size, it was filled with air, I took a thin yarn and tie it with the ball's top then I rotated it using my hand and the result was the ball moved in an angle. Not only in an angle but with that angle that ball had another slight angle.

Title | : | Free Convective Heat Transport in a Porous Media bounded by an isothermal vertical plate with thermal Radiation and Magnetohydrodynamic effects: an Exact Solution |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Hamida Khatun || Sahin Ahmed |
ABSTRACT: An investigation is performed for unsteady Magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow and heat transfer through a Darcian porous medium bounded by a uniformly moving semi-infinite isothermal vertical plate in presence of thermal radiation. The flow model is considered as an viscous, incompressible, electrically-conducting Newtonian fluid which is an optically thin gray gas. Suitable transformations are used to convert the partial differential equations corresponding to the momentum and energy equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Analytical solutions of these equations are obtained by Laplace transform. The effects of Hartmann number (M), porosity parameter (K), thermal radiation parameter (Ra), and Prandtl number (Pr) on flow velocity, fluid temperature, velocity and temperature gradients at the surface are studied graphically.

Title | : | Geometrical Optimization and Some Physical Properties For Sodium on Copper Clusters |
Country | : | Iraq |
Authors | : | Batool Daram Balawa || Fallah Hassan Hanoon || Abbas Shwya Alwan |
ABSTRACT: The optimized coordinates has been investigated at ground state, B3LYP, 3-21G basis sets with density functional theory (DFT). Also geometrical parameters such as bond lengths, bond angles and dihedral angles have been calculated by using (DFT) at ground state with B3LYP, 3-21G basis sets. Polarizability and density of states(DOS) also performed for pure copper clusters and also for sodium on copper clusters. NaCu6 cluster has the highest polarizability(=398.6493a.u) and this means this cluster is more active than the other clusters because of the highest polarizability means the highest activity. Infrared spectra has been carried out for pure copper clusters and also for sodium on copper clusters. So in NaCu6 cluster shielding procedure has been occurred. All calculations have been investigated by using Gaussian 09 program.

Authors | : | M. Alpha || T.O. Daniel |
ABSTRACT: Undoped tin Oxide and Zinc doped tin oxide thin film were prepared by Chemical spray pyrolysis on soda lime glass substrate. The effects of doping concentration (1wt%, 2wt%, 3wt% and4wt% ) on the structural properties of the films were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that the films were polycrystalline, having tetragonal rutile structure irrespective of their doping concentration and exhibits a preferred orientation along the (101) plane while the crystallinity was enhanced with increased in doping concentration to an optimum value at 4 wt %. The structural parameters such as particle size, strain and dislocation density were affected and calculated. The particle size of SnO2is 27.9 nm while that of Zn:SnO2 thin film was found to be within the range of 26.2 nm to 11.2 nm. The thickness of the film decreases with increase in doping concentrations within the range of 0.030 to 0.018μm.

The spectra of this gas were displayed by USB2000 spectrometer, when their temperature changes from (300 to 337) º considerable change in the spectral intensity was observed. These changes can be explained theoretically by using non-equilibrium statistical distribution by using plasma equation, beside the laws of quantum mechanics.

Country | : | Sudan |
Authors | : | Rehab Ibrahim Hamad Eisa || Mubarak Dirar || Abd Alla Khiar || Suhair S. Makawy || and Rawia Abd Elgani |
ABSTRACT: The determination of atmospheric temperature needs using complex and expensive technology. This requires a new approach for temperatures determination by using simple and cheap technology .To perform this task an attempt was made in this research to relate temperature change to the change of spectra of some gases which are Bhutan() , Neon (Ne), Fluorine( F2) and chlorine (CL2). These gas were heated at temperature in the range ( 300 -337ºk.) The spectra of these gas were displayed by USB2000 spectrometer. The result shows appreciable change in the spectral intensity and line width. These changes was shown to be explained theoretically on the basis of non- equilibrium statistical physics by using plasma equation and quantum mechanical laws that relates the photon intensity to atomic and electronic wave functions.

Title | : | Design of a Novel Neutron Activation System for Safeguards Purposes using Computer Code Calculations |
Country | : | Egypt |
Authors | : | M.Abdelati || A.Abdelsalam || Sayed A.El.Mongy |
ABSTRACT: In the aim to design a neutron activation system to verify the nuclear material using neutron source (252Cf isotopic neutron source) Monte Carlo simulations were carried out. Several Monte Carlo calculations were carried out using MCNP5 code to estimate the paraffin wax thickness required to shield a 252Cf isotopic neutron source. Firstly, a point-like source was modeled without shield and the neutron dose rate was estimated. Secondly, the source was shielded in paraffin wax and the simulations were repeated including various thicknesses of paraffin wax cylinders. The calculations performed by means of the Monte Carlo radiation transport code MCNP5 are compared with that optioned experimentally by Wide Energy Neutron Detector Instrument (WENDI). The results obtained were used for design the neutron activation system.

Title | : | A Monte Carlo Simulation for Estimating of the Flux in a Novel Neutron Activation System using 252Cf Source |
Country | : | Egypt |
Authors | : | M.Abdelati || A.Abdelsalam || Sayed A.El.Mongy |
ABSTRACT: A new neutron activation system design for nuclear material verification is being established.
Neutron activation analysis is a nuclear technique for the analysis of sample composition whereby the sample is
irradiated in a neutron field and composition is determined by identifying characteristic induced gamma
radiation emitted by the activation products. Calculation of neutron flux at the irradiation positions of a neutron
activation system is essential for the design and evaluation of experiments involving material irradiations. A
computational model of the new neutron activation system was developed using the Monte Carlo code MCNP5.
The model included detailed geometrical representation of the new neutron activation system. The MCNP5
model was applied to determine the best location for the irradiation positions. A 252Cf neutron source with
12μCi of activity was used in the calculations. The MCNP5 estimated neutron fluxes were compared with
physical measurements using activation foils method. A good agreement between calculated and experimental
results was observed and discussed.
Keywords: Neutron Activation, Neutron flux, Irradiation positions, Cf-252 neutron source, Monte Carlo.

Title | : | Assessment of Radiation Exposure Levels within Ikot Akpaden Campus of Akwa Ibom State University, Nigeria |
Country | : | Nigeria. |
Authors | : | Sunday E. Etuka || Nyakno J. George || Ime E. Essien || Samuel C. Nwokolo |
ABSTRACT: In-situ measurements of the equivalent dose in 1 Svhr at twenty two locations within Ikot Akpaden Campus of Akwa Ibom State University, Nigeria, using Portable Inspector Alert Nuclear Radiation Monitor, have been conducted. Hundred measurements per study location were taken for averaging. The average values with standard error were for each location converted to annual dose rate in 1 mSvyr and presented. The result of the computed mean equivalent dose rate for the University Community was 1 0.2442 0.0240 mSvyr . Comparing the result with the stipulated regulatory maximum permissible level, even at location within the Campus with maximum measured , it is far below the maximum permissible level, indicating that there is no threat of radiological hazard within the University Campus which has operated for more than five years now. However, routine and periodic radiation level assessment within the University Campus and its vicinity is recommended as accumulated effect which is a function of time may raise the level and pose threat to health and the environment in future.

Title | : | Case Study of Performance of Hybrid Solar Photovoltaic-Thermal Water Heating System in Sokoto, Nigeria |
Country | : | Nigeria |
Authors | : | Ibrahim, YakubuTsoho || Hassan, Nawawi Yahya || Musa Momoh || Mahmud, Mohammed Garba |
ABSTRACT: The ambient temperature of northern Nigeria climatic condition is mostly about 30oC-45oC, it incites about 30oC-80oC heat over the panel since black body of the panel observe more heat, and this temperature majorly affect the electrical efficiency of the panel.Residential houses are constructed with limited space in Sokoto due to rising population; these spaces cannot install a separate PV panel for electricity generation and solar thermal for hot water production standing side by side. In order to resolve these problems, in this work, thermosiphonic water cooling is utilized to reduce the operating temperature of the PV module and then comparing its performance with a controlled PV panel.The PV/T system can be installed to lower the area requirements compared to the two separate systems of same capacity.
