Title | : | Rayleigh-Bénard Convection in A Horizontal Layer Of Porous Medium Saturated With A Thermally Radiating Dielectric Fluid |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Smita S. Nagouda || S. Maruthamanikandan |
Abstract: The classical linear stability analysis is used to analyze the effect of thermal radiation on the onset of Darcy electroconvection in a horizontal porous layer heated from below. The boundaries are assumed to be black bodies and the optical properties of the transparent dielectric fluid are independent of the wavelength of radiation. The principle of exchange of stabilities is shown to be valid. The critical values pertaining to the stationary instability are obtained by means of the higher order Galerkin method. It is found that basic temperature profile becomes exponential and symmetric as the radiative parameters increase and that the effect of thermal radiation is to delay the onset of Darcy electroconvection.

Country | : | Saudi Arabia |
Authors | : | Hussam. E. Hashim || L. Lajimi |
Abstract:In this paper, we show that with a few modifications and techniques the Adomian Decomposition
Method (ADM) for solving a class of hyperbolic equations with nonlocal conditions can be applied to obtain the
exact solutions to this type of problems. The clue of this one consists in transforming the boundary value
nonlocal problem into a classical problem whose solution is obtained.

Title | : | Unsteady Flow in a Double-Sided Symmetric Thin Liquid Films |
Country | : | Iraq |
Authors | : | Joseph G. Abdulahad || Ibrahim S. Hamad |
Abstract: In this paper, we considerthe unsteady flow within a double-sided symmetric thin liquid film with negligible inertia. We apply the Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensional flows for incompressible fluid.The similarity method is used in which the explicit time dependence can be isolated and thus the shape of the film will depend on one variable only.The differential equation of the film thickness is obtained analytically and the solution of equation thatrepresents the film thickness is obtained numerically by using Rung-Kutta method.

Title | : | Stability Analysis of Thin Liquid Film by Long-Wave Method |
Country | : | Iraq |
Authors | : | Joseph G. Abdulahad || Ibrahim S. Hamad |
Abstract: stability and dynamics of a free double-sided symmetric thin liquid film are investigated by using the long-wave method. The flow in thin liquid film is considered in two dimensions for Newtonian liquid with constant density and dynamic viscosity. The Navier-stokes equations is used with appropriate boundary conditions of zero shear stress and also of normal stress on the bounding free surfaces with non-dimensional variables to obtain an equation that governs such flow.

Title | : | Magnetohydrodynamic Free Convective Boundary Layer Flow of a Nanofluid past an Impulsively Started Flat Vertical Plate with Newtonian Heating Boundary Condition |
Country | : | KENYA |
Authors | : | Stephenson Mandere Magoma || Prof. Johanah Sigey || Dr. Jeconia Abonyo Okelo || Dr. James Mariita Okwoyo |
Abstract: Steady two dimensional MHD free convective boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting Newtonian nanofluid past an impulsively started infinite vertical plate is investigated numerically. Nanofluids are well-dispersed (metallic) nanoparticles at low-volume fractions in liquids. They may enhance the mixture's properties among them, thermal conductivity over the base fluid values. A magnetic field can be used to control the motion of an electrically conducting fluid in micro-scale systems used for the transportation of fluids. The momentum and energy equations along with the boundary conditions are first converted into dimensionless form by dimensional analysis.

Title | : | On The Use of Influence Function Matrix in Model Order Determination and Checking Of Outliers in Nigerian Economic Series |
Country | : | Nigeria |
Authors | : | Rafiu, A.A || Oseni, B.A || Oladeji, A.O |
Abstract: An influence function matrix for autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation were constructed for some economic series and it is used as a tool for the detection of outliers and model order, depending on the lagging effects of observation in the correlation coefficient and size of the observations. A suitable model was fitted for all the data judging from the behaviour of both the plots on ACF and PACF and the influence function matrix and forecast were made for model fitted for each data with the presence and removal of outliers from the model. Our findings reveals the detection of 4 outliers for Real GDP, 6 for GDP at current market prices and 1 for GDP at current factor cost (Nominal GDP), 6 for retail prices of diesel recorded by N.N.P.C. while there is no outlier detected for retail prices of PMS (petrol) it was also discovered that the confidence interval on the forecast values for the model without outliers overlap that of the model with outliers.

Title | : | An Unsteady Flow past an Accelerated Infinite Vertical Plate with the Variable Temperature and Uniform Mass Diffusion through the Porous Medium |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Prof (Dr) P.T.Hemamalini || N.Suresh Kumar |
Abstract: The purpose of present problem is to study the effect of unsteady flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past an uniformly Accelerated Infinite Vertical Porous Plate through Porous Medium taking account of the presence of variable temperature, uniform mass diffuse with Heat and Mass Transfer. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by using Laplace Transform technique. The Velocity, temperature and concentration fields are studied for different physical parameters like Thermal Grashof Number, Modified Grashof Number, Permeability Parameter, Prandtl Number, Schmidt Number, and time. The effect of these parameters on the Velocity field, Temperature field and Concentration distribution have been studied and the results are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively.

Title | : | On Primitive Weird Numbers of the Form2kpq |
Country | : | |
Authors | : | Douglas E. Iannucci |
Abstract: We say a natural number n is abundant if (n)>2n, where (n) denotes the sum of the divisors of n. The aliquot parts of n are those divisors less than n, and we say that an abundant number n is pseudoperfect if there is some subset of the aliquot parts of n which sum to n. We say n is weird if n is abundant but not pseudoperfect. We call a weird number n primitive if none of its aliquot parts are weird. We find all primitive weird numbers of the form 2kpq (p<q being odd primes) for 1k14. We also find primitive weird numbers of the same form, larger than any previously published.
