Due to increasing applications of extended surfaces as passive methods of cooling, study of thermal behaviors and development of mathematical solutions to nonlinear thermal models of extended surfaces have been the subjects of research in cooling technology over the years. In the thermal analysis of fin, various methods have been applied to solve the nonlinear thermal models. This paper focuses...

Amplitude squeezed pulsed light has been produced using a microstructured silica fibre. By spectrally filtering after the nonlinear propagation in the fibre a squeezing value of -1.7dB has been measured. A quantum key distribution scheme based on squeezed light from such microstructured fibres is proposed.

This paper deals with an analytical approach to predict the nonlinear buckling behavior of functionally graded graphene-reinforced composite laminated cylindrical shells under axial compressive load surrounded by Pasternak’s elastic foundation in a thermal environment. Piece-wise functionally graded graphene-reinforced, composite layers are sorted with different types of graphene distribution. ...

‎In this paper‎, ‎the nonlinear regression models when the model errors follow a slash‎ ‎skew-elliptical distribution‎, ‎are considered‎. ‎In the special case‎ ‎of nonlinear regression models under slash skew-t distribution‎, ‎we‎ ‎present some distributional properties‎, ‎and to estimate their‎ ‎parameters‎, ‎w...

Based on quantum hydrodynamics theory (QHD), the propagation of nonlinear quantum dust-ion acoustic (QDIA) solitary waves in a ‎collision-less, unmagnetized four component quantum plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, ions and stationary negatively charged ‎dust grains with dust charge variation is investigated using reductive perturbation method. The charging current to the dust grains ca...

In this paper, assuming that (X, Y1, Y2)T has a trivariate normal distribution, we derive the exact joint distribution of ( X, Y(1), Y(2))^T, where Y(1) and Y(2) are order statistics arising from (Y1, Y2)T . We show that this joint distribution is a mixture of truncated trivariate normal distributions and then use this mixture representation to derive the best (nonlinear) predictiors of X...

Time resolved laser induced incandescence (LII) technique is used to measure size distribution of soot nanoparticles of candle's flame. Pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used to heat nanoparticles to incandescence temperature and the resulting signal is measured. Mass and energy balance equations are numerically solved to calculate temperature of soot particles in low fluence regime. Assuming Plank black ...
