We compute power corrections to mean values of hadronic event shapes — the thrust and the C parameter — of tagged b quark events in electron positron annihilation, using the dispersive approach. We find that the leading power corrections are of the same type of 1/Q corrections as for event shapes in the massless case, with the same non-perturbative coefficient times a perturbatively calculable ...

We derive a simple formula for the change in output when a device fails in a power-combining structure with identical matched devices. The loss is written in terms of the scattering coefficient of the failed device and reflection coefficient of an input port in the combining network. We apply this formula to several power combiners, including arrays in free space and enclosed waveguide structur...

The current work presents the numerical prediction method to determine small-scale propeller performance. The study is implemented using the commercially available computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver, FLUENT. Numerical results are compared with the available experimental data for an advanced precision composites (APC) Slow Flyer propeller blade to determine the discrepancy of the thrust c...

Clustering coefficient is the measure of how tightly vertices are bounded in a network. The Triangle Counting problem is at the core of clustering coefficient computation. We present a new technique for implementing clustering coefficient algorithm on GPUs. It relies on neighbour list being sorted with respect to vertex ID. The algorithm can process very large graphs not seen in the literature ...

There is a demand for reduced power consumption in the vapor compression refrigeration cycle. Coefficient of performance of window-air conditioners considerably decreases and power consumption increases under very hot conditions. These problems have encouragecl studies aimed at improving the performance of window-air-conditioners by enhancing the heat transfer rate in the condenser. In this ar...

Today’s unmanned aerial vehicles are being utilized by numerous groups around the world for various missions. Most of the smaller vehicles that have been developed use commercially-off-the-shelf parts, and little information about the performance characteristics of the propulsion systems is available in the archival literature. In light of this, the aim of the present research was to determine ...
