a simple mechanistic model was constructed to evaluate potential dry matter of pearl millet. all needed parameters were calculated based on many field and laboratory experiments and actual data obtained from 86 fields of millet located at different regions of khorasan's provinces. the major simulated processes were crop phenology (as a function of temperature and photoperiod function curve...

Information based models for radiation emitted by a Black Body which passes through a scattering medium are analyzed. In the limit, when there is no scattering this model reverts to the Black Body Radiation Law. The advantage of this mathematical model is that it includes the effect of the scattering of the radiation between source and detector. In the case when the exact form of the scattering...

this paper addresses the combined effects of couple stresses, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and slip condition on a free convective flow of a couple stress fluid induced by a vertical stretching sheet. the cogley- vincenti-gilles equilibrium model is employed to include the effects of thermal radiation in the study. the governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a system o...
