The paper considers heat transfer characteristics of thin film flow over a hot horizontal flat plate resulting from a cold vertical jet of liquid falling onto the surface. A numerical solution of high accuracy is obtained for large Reynolds numbers using the modified Keller box method. For the flat plate, solutions for axisymmetric jets are obtained. In a parallel approximation theory, an advan...

We describe how we use models of mantle dynamics to understand and test the controls and effects of plate tectonics, such as ocean basin volume, magma production and the formation of natural resources. Numerical modeling and geological ground-truthing were incorporated to test the hypothesis that vertical motion of the Australian continental plate, as observed from sediments deposited during a ...

Vehicle License Plate Identification and Recognition (VLPIR) uses image processing and character recognition technology in order to identify the license plate number automatically. VLPIR system are used for the purpose of effective traffic control, security applications such as access control to restricted areas and tracking of car, tracing of stolen cars, identification of dangerous and reckle...

This paper deals with problematic from field of artificial intelligence, machine vision and neural networks in construction of an automatic number plate recognition system (ANPR). This paper includes brief introduction of automatic number plate recognition, which ensure a process of number plate detection, processes of proper characters segmentation, normalization and recognition. Automatic Num...

This paper looks at the challenges confronting plate tectonics— the ruling paradigm in the earth sciences. The classical model of thin lithospheric plates moving over a global asthenosphere is shown to be implausible. Evidence is presented that appears to contradict continental drift, seafloor spreading, and subduction, as well as the claim that the oceanic crust is relatively young. The proble...

The unsteady natural convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid near a vertical plate that applies an arbitrary shear stress to the fluid is studied using the Laplace transform technique. The fluid flow is due to both the shear and the heating of the plate. Closed-form expressions for velocity and temperature are established under the usual Boussinesq approximation. For illustration pur...

Simultaneous heat and mass transfer in unsteady free convection flow with thermal radiation and thermal diffusion past an impulsively started infinite vertical porous plate subjected to a strong magnetic field is presented. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically using two terms harmonic and non-harmonic functions. The influence of various parameters...

We investigate the fully developed flow between two parallel plates and the film flow over a plate in an electrically conducting fluid under the action of a parallel Lorentz force. The Lorentz force varies exponentially in the vertical direction due to low-fluid electrical conductivity and the special arrangement of the magnetic and electric fields at the lower plate. Exact analytical solutions...

v  Abstract—The mixed convection stagnation point flow toward a vertical plate is investigated. The external flow impinges normal to the heated plate and the surface temperature is assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the stagnation point. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations, which are then solved numerically usi...

License plate recognition (LPR) has many applications in traffic monitoring systems. In this paper, a vertical edge matching based algorithm to recognize Korean license plate from input gray-scale image is proposed. The algorithm is able to recognize license plates in normal shape, as well as plates that are out of shape due to the angle of view. The proposed algorithm is fast enough, the recog...
