Nanofluids are new heat transfer fluids, which improve thermal performance while reducing the size of systems. In this study, the numerical domain as a three-dimensional copper mini tube was simulated to study the characteristics of flow and heat transfer of CuO/H2O nanofluid, flowed horizontally within it. The selected model for this study was a two-phase mixture model. The results ...

The commonly used incompressible phase field models for non-reactive, binary fluids, in which the Cahn-Hilliard equation is used for the transport of phase variables, conserve the total volume of each phase as well as the material volume, but do not conserve the mass of the fluid mixture when the densities of two components are different. In this paper, we formulate the phase field theory for m...

This work investigates the modeling of the surface tension and the interface of liquid mixtures. Nine binary liquid mixtures of (DMSO+alcohols), (2-Propanol+2,2,4-trimethylpentane), (Tetrahydrofuran+2-Propanol), (Tetrahydrofuran+2,2,4-trimethylpentane), and (ethano+glycerol) are considered. Additionally, one ternary liquid mixture of (Tetrahydrofuran+2-Propanol+2,2,4-trimethylpenta...

Improving phoneme recognition has attracted the attention of many researchers due to its applications in various fields of speech processing. Recent research achievements show that using deep neural network (DNN) in speech recognition systems significantly improves the performance of these systems. There are two phases in DNN-based phoneme recognition systems including training and testing. Mos...

Identification of mixed independent subspaces is thought to suffer from combinatorial explosion of two kinds: the minimization of mutual information between the estimated subspaces and the search for the optimal number and dimensions of the subspaces. Here we show that independent auto-regressive process analysis, under certain conditions, can avoid this problem using a two-phase estimation pro...

The research presented in this thesis is concerned with the flow behaviour of two-phase, liquid-liquid, oil-water flow through horizontal pipes. The test liquids used were oil (density 828kg/rn 3, viscosity 6x iO 3 Pa s) and water, with experiments carried out in a purpose built test facility with a stainless steel pipe (internal dia. 38mm, length 8m). Visual observation of the flow was possibl...

In this paper, we study the problem of clustering in Two component Gaussian mixture model when centers are separated by some Δ>0. We present a nonasymptotic lower bound for corresponding minimax Hamming risk improving on existing results. also propose an optimal, efficient and adaptive procedure that is rate optimal. The optimality moreover sharp asymptotics sample size goes to infinity. Our ba...
