[ 1 ] - Analysis of Heat transfer in Porous Fin with Temperature-dependent Thermal Conductivity and Internal Heat Generation using Chebychev Spectral Collocation Method

In this work, analysis of heat transfer in porous fin with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and internal heat generation is carried out using Chebychev spectral collocation method. The numerical solutions are used to investigate the influence of various parameters on the thermal performance of the porous fin. The results show that increase in convective parameter, porosity parameter, ...

[ 2 ] - Power Series -Aftertreatment Technique for Nonlinear Cubic Duffing and Double-Well Duffing Oscillators

Modeling of large amplitude of structures such as slender, flexible cantilever beam and fluid-structure resting on nonlinear elastic foundations or subjected to stretching effects often lead to strongly nonlinear models of Duffing equations which are not amendable to exact analytical methods. In this work, explicit analytical solutions to the large amplitude nonlinear oscillation systems of cub...
