Methods to solve natural gas loadflow problems using electric loadflow techniques are presented. The motivation is to integrate a natural gas network with an electric power transmission network so that the network analysis for a combined natural gas and electric power distribution network can be performed in a consistent manner. The issues arising from solving gas loadflow problems are discusse...

The manuscript is a presentation of the combined effect of magnetic and electric field on unsteady flow of Maxwell nanofluid over a stretching surface with thermal radiations. The flow of Maxwell nanofluid is assumed to be in an unsteady state. The basic governing equations changed to a group of differential equations, using proper similarity variables. The obtained modeled equations are nonlin...

fouling is one of the main parameters in design of any exchanger. ignoring this parameter causes problems such as overheating or under- heating of process streams. in this article a heat exchanger network was designed using process streams data in cdu of tehran refinery. then using tema fouling factors, network exchangers were designed and area and cost were estimated. by changing fouling facto...

conclusions as we can see the ann outputs values are very close to actual cu concentration, so indicating that predicted values are accurate and the network design is proper and the input variables well suitable for the prediction of cu concentration. background access to safe drinking water is one of the basic human rights and essential for healthy life. concerns about the effects of copper on...

Semi-analytical solutions for vibration analysis of nonlocal piezoelectric Kirchhoff plates resting on viscoelastic foundation with arbitrary boundary conditions are derived by developing Galerkin strip distributed transfer function method. Based on the nonlocal elasticity theory for piezoelectric materials and Hamilton's principle, the governing equations of motion and boundary conditions are ...

In today’ s competitive electric utility marketplace, real-time information becomes the key factor for reliable delivery of power to the end-users, profitability of the electric utility and customer satisfaction. The operational and commercial demands of electric utilities require a high-performance data communication network that supports both existing functionalities and future operational re...

In recent years, the combination of cognitive radio and collaborative communication has been widely studied applied because its ability to increase user throughput improve spectrum utilization in a flat-fading wireless channel environment. Such networks that use collaboration capacity are called networks. A Nash equilibrium game-based relay node selection algorithm is investigated, which aims m...
