Groundwater flow can have a significant impact on the thermal response of ground heat exchangers. The moving infinite line source model is thus widely used in practice as it considers both conductive and advective transfert processes. Solution this involves relatively heavy numerical quadrature. Contrarily to model, there currently no known first-order approximation that could be useful for man...

the theoretical and experimental investigation on the thermo-mechanical properties of carbon nanotube (cnt) as reinforcer for oil and gas pipes has increasingly become a hot research area for many engineers and material scientists in recent years. this is mainly due to the advent of the new composite material systems that exhibit exotic material and mechanical properties as compared to the trad...

Abstract : The effect of a bond failure and its extent is studied on stress concentration in long fibers as well as stress distribution in short fibers and their surrounding matrix bays. The material is assumed to be a finite width hybrid composite lamina which is subjected to a tensile load of magnitude "P" at infinity. The surrounding matrix is assumed to take only shear (shear-lag theory). T...

this paper introduces the general framework of a new system for material flow planning and operations and some of its important aspects. the justification for the new system stems from the short coming of mrp  i/mrp ii in term of its assumptions, particularly in relation to fixed lead times and effectively infinite production capacity. at the heart of the system is an automatic scheduler based ...

Laguerre function has many advantages such as good approximation capability for different systems, low computational complexity and the facility of on-line parameter identification. Therefore, it is widely adopted for complex industrial process control. In this work, Laguerre function based adaptive model predictive control algorithm (AMPC) was implemented to control continuous stirred tank rea...
