The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a boundary layer analysis for the fluid flow andheat transfer characteristics of an incompressible nanofluid flowing over a permeable isothermalsurface moving continuously. The resulting system of non-linear ordinary differential equations issolved numerically using the fifth–order Runge–Kutta method with shooting techniques usingMatlab and Maple s...

abstract background: sperm parameters and motion kinetics are affected by cryopreservation. objective: the main purpose of the current study was to determine the effect of different concentrations of trolox as an antioxidant to freezing-thawing procedure on human sperm kinematic parameter. materials and methods: semen was collected from 20 normal donors and divided into five aliquots prior to c...

the present study deals with the analysis of the effects of radiative heat transfer of micropolar fluid flow over a porous and stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field. the dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficient have formulated by temperature-dependent relations to obtain more exact results. the flow is supposed two-dimensional, incompressible, steady and laminar and t...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dilution rate and holding time on various motility parameters using computer-assisted sperm analysis (casa). the semen samples were collected from three ghezel rams. samples were diluted in seminal plasma (sp), phosphate-buffered saline (pbs) containing 1% bovine serum albumin (bsa) and bioexcell. the motility parameters that computed and rec...

Pulse period of earthquake records has been known as a key parameter in seismology and earthquake engineering. This paper presents a detailed characterization of this parameter for a special class of earthquake records called pulse-like ground motions. This type of motions often resulting from directivity effects is characterized by a strong pulse in the velocity time history of motion, in norm...

the goal of this laboratory study is to investigate the effect of pore shapes on seismic wave velocities in carbonate rocks under reservoir conditions. in this research, 41 core plugs of carbonate rocks from oil fields of the southwest of iran were prepared. the compressional and shear wave velocities were measured in both dry and brine saturated samples under several pressures especially reser...

In this paper, the methodology of aircraft air distribution system has been analyzed theoretically and experimentally. To achieve that, ducting pressure loss and air flow throw gaspers calculations has been done for cabin ducts in according to exact location of individual air distribution system in the cabin. The length of gasper air flow was compared with the distance between gasper outlet and...

Granular gases present novel challenges, previously not encountered in fluid dynamics [1]. Specifically, the strong underlying energy dissipation leads to clustering instabilities and strong velocity correlations [2–7]. A series of recent experimental and theoretical studies reveals a rich phenomenology. In particular, velocities are characterized by anomalous statistics, sensitive to the detai...

This work is an analytical study of unsteady thin film third grade fluid. The governing non linear partial differential equation has been solved analytically by Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM). The effect of model parameters on velocity profile have been plotted and discussed numerically as well as graphically.
