Thermodynamic analysis of a steady state flow and heat transfer of an Oldroyd 8-constant fluid with effect of heat source, velocity slip and buoyancy force under tranverse a magnetic field is is carried out in this paper. The model for momentum and energy balance is tackled numerically using Method of Weighted Residual (MWR). Partition method is used to minimize the associated residuals. The re...

The flow properties in a granular system confined by a rapidly rotated bottom surface and fixed walls are investigated. Above sufficiently high rotation rates the system enters a state in which the flow is independent of the driving rate. Further, a nearly constant shear-strain rate is measured throughout the entire system. Optical and particle imaging velocimetry methods are used to measure th...

Objective Antenatal anxiety or maternal stress is a prevalent chronic mental disorder in pregnant women. We assessed the effect of maternal stress because of positive aneuploidy screening results on the alteration of uterine artery’s blood flow. MaterialsAndMethods A prospective cohort (one sample) study as a pilot study was done at a hospital in Tehran. Sixty pregnant women who were candidates...

In this paper, a new numerical method is presented for solving the optimal control problems of Bang-Bang type with free or fixed terminal time. The method is based on Bezier polynomials which are presented in any interval as $[t_0,t_f]$. The problems are reduced to a constrained problems which can be solved by using Lagrangian method. The constraints of these problems are terminal state and con...

the present research simulates time-periodic unsteady transonic flow around pitching airfoils via the solution of unsteady euler and navier-stokes equations, using time spectral method (tsm) and compares it with the traditional methods such as bdf and explicit structured adaptive grid method. the tsm uses a fourier representation in time and hence solves for the periodic state directly accordin...

the rectangular broad crested weirs are widely used to measure the water dischargewhich is one of the most popular tools in the irrigation canals particularly, in developingcountries.the present article is trying to demonstrate the results of an experimental work carriedout on rectangular broad crested weir with sloped upstream face to investigate the effect ofupstream slope on discharge effici...

  In this paper, modeling and optimization of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis is considered in a fixed-bed catalytic reactor using an industrial Fe-Cu-K catalyst. A one dimensional pseudo-homogenous plug flow model without axial dispersion is developed for converting syngas to heavy hydrocarbons. The effects of temperature, pressure, H2 to CO ratio in feed stream, and CO molar flow on the mass flow r...
