one of the models that can be used to study the relationship between boolean random sets and explanatory variables is growth regression model which is defined by generalization of boolean model and permitting its grains distribution to be dependent on the values of explanatory variables. this model can be used in the study of behavior of boolean random sets when their coverage regions variation...

In vivo measurement of cerebral arterial and venous volume fractions is important to the understanding of brain physiology and function. By using an intravascular perfluorocarbon and 19F NMR at 4.7 T, regional arterial and venous volume fractions from an intact rat brain were resolved based on the pseudodiffusion coefficients, which were (33 +/- 7) x 10(-3) and (0.45 +/- 0.13) x 10(-3) mm(2)/se...

The buoyancy-driven boundary-layer flow from a heated horizontal circular cylinder immersed in a water-based alumina (Al2O3) nanofluid is investigated using variable properties for nanofluid viscosity. Two different viscosity models are utilized to evaluate heat transfer enhancement from a cylinder. Exact analytic solutions of the problem are attained employing a novel...

in recent decade, the new advanced nanofluids, composed from various particles, have attracted the attention of researchers. this class of nanofluids, which can be prepared by suspending several types (two or more than two) of nanoparticles in base fluid, is termed as hybrid nanofluids. in this work, an experimental investigation on the effects of temperature and concentration of nanoparticles ...

in the present study, mixed convection laminar flow around an adiabatic body in a lid-driven enclosure filled with nanofluid using variable thermal conductivity and variable viscosity is numerically investigated. the fluid around the body in the enclosure is a water-based nanofluid containing al2o3 nanoparticles. the vertical enclosure’s walls are maintained at constant cold temperature and the...

The three-dimensional microstructure of 78 and 52 vol.% Sn-rich particles coarsened within a liquid Pb–Sn matrix were determined by the reconstruction of serial sections. The three-dimensional particle size distribution (PSD) and the particle–particle contact distributions were determined. The three-dimensional PSDs do not match those predicted by particle coarsening theory, but there is reason...

This paper addresses erosion prediction in 3-D, 90° elbow for two-phase (solid and liquid) turbulent flow with low volume fraction of copper. For a range of particle sizes from 10 nm to 100 microns and particle volume fractions from 0.00 to 0.04, the simulations were performed for the velocity range of 5-20 m/s. The 3-D governing differential equations were discretized using finite volume metho...
