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, ...

Spectroscopic diagnostic technique are applied for the determination of excitation temperature Texc and electron density in Air Acetylene premixed laminar flame. A group of FeI spectral lines has been used to estimate Texc using Boltzmann plot. Electron number density was determined from atom ion line pairs for Cd and Zn using Saha Boltzmann equation after substitution the obtained value of exc...

Using the sample of radio selected BL Lacer-tae objects (RBLs) and X-ray selected BL Lacertae objects (XBLs) presented by Sambruna et al. (1996), we calculated the luminosities of radio, optical and X-ray of each source and made the statistical analysis among the luminosities at different wave-bands, broad-band spectral indices from radio to X-ray (α rx) and peak frequencies (ν p). Our results ...

Asymmetry in funnel plots may indicate publication bias in meta-analysis, but the shape of the plot in the absence of bias depends on the choice of axes. We evaluated standard error, precision (inverse of standard error), variance, inverse of variance, sample size and log sample size (vertical axis) and log odds ratio, log risk ratio and risk difference (horizontal axis). Standard error is like...

Stability analysis in compliant mechanism (CM) design is of utmost importance. From a practical point of view, a CM that is unstable is of no significance (has no practical value). Three useful plots were considered in the evaluation of each of the dynamic models of nine configurations of compliant constant-force compression mechanisms (CCFCMs) for their stability characteristics, which include...

We have developed an on-the-fly scanning spectrometer operating in the UV-visible and near-infrared that can simultaneously perform transmission and total reflectance measurements at the rate better than 1 sample per second. High throughput optical characterization is important for screening functional materials for a variety of new applications. We demonstrate the utility of the instrument for...

Near-IR reflectance spectroscopy has been used to study the curing of ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive on polished dental glass and microscope slide substrates. The effects of changing the glue film thickness and the type of substrate on the curing rate have been investigated whilst maintaining a constant humidity. The FTIR spectral data has been used to calculate and plot the extents of cure versu...
