In this paper, second law analysis for calculations of the entropy generation due to the flow andheat transfer of water-Al2O3 and ethylene glycol-Al2O3 nanofluids inside annuli is presented. Thephysical properties of the nanofluids are calculated using empirical correlations. Constant heatfluxes at inner surface of the annuli are considered and fully developed condition for fluid flowand heat t...

Entropy generation due to viscous incompressible MHD forced convective dissipative fluid flow through a horizontal channel of finite depth in the existence of an inclined magnetic field and heat source effect has been examined. The governing non-linear partial differential equations for momentum, energy and entropy generation are derived and solved by using the analytical method. In addition; t...

background: surface electromyography (semg) of muscles is a non-invasive tool that can be helpful in the assessment of muscle function and some motor control evaluations. a loss of force, known as muscle fatigue is accompanied by changes in muscle electrical activity. one of the most commonly used surface emg parameters which reflects paraspinal muscle fatigue during different tasks and positio...

In the real world, we are confronted not only with complex and high-dimensional data sets, but usually with noisy, incomplete and uncertain data, where the application of traditional methods of knowledge discovery and data mining always entail the danger of modeling artifacts. Originally, information entropy was introduced by Shannon (1949), as a measure of uncertainty in the data. But up to th...

This paper reports a new reading for wavelets, which is based on the classical ’De Broglie’ principle. The waveparticle duality principle is adapted to wavelets. Every continuous basic wavelet is associated with a proper probability density, allowing defining the Shannon entropy of a wavelet. Further entropy definitions are considered, such as Jumarie or Renyi entropy of wavelets. We proved tha...

in this paper, rstly we have introduced to entropy of sequences of fuzzy sets and given sometheorems about it. secondly, the waves p and t which appears in electrocardiograms weretransferred to fuzzy sets, by using denition of entropy for sequences of fuzzy sets, and somenumerical values were obtained for sequences of waves p and t. thus any person can makea medical predictions for some cardiac...

entropy generation in an unsteady hydromagnetic couette flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid between two infinite horizontal parallel plates in a rotating system have been analyzed. both the lower and upper plates of the channel are subjected to asymmetric convective heat exchange with the ambient following the newton's law of cooling. a numerical solution for governin...

We discuss a one-parameter family of generalized cross entropy between two distributions with the power index, called the projective power entropy. The cross entropy is essentially reduced to the Tsallis entropy if two distributions are taken to be equal. Statistical and probabilistic properties associated with the projective power entropy are extensively investigated including a characterizati...

The Tsallis entropy given for a positive parameter α can be considered as a generalization of the classical Shannon entropy. For the latter, corresponding to α = 1, there exist many axiomatic characterizations. One of them based on the well-known Khinchin-Shannon axioms has been simplified several times and adapted to Tsallis entropy, where the axiom of (generalized) Shannon additivity is playi...

a thermodynamic study of copper ions by jack bean urease (jbu) was carried out at two temperatures of 27 and 37?c in tris buffer (30 mm; ph=7.0) using an isothermal titration calorimetry. there is a set of twelve identical and non-interacting binding sites for copper ions. the intrinsic dissociation equilibrium constant and the molar enthalpy of binding are 285 µm and ?15.2 kj/mol at 27?c and 3...
