Selection of spiral capillary tube for refrigeration appliances and the effect of changes in the parameters such as capillary tube dimensions i.e. capillary tube diameter, coil pitch, capillary tube length and inlet conditions of refrigerant to the capillary tube i.e. degree of subcooling, inlet pressure on the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, also investigation about the coiling effect of sp...

A nanoscale, synthetic perturbation was all that was required to nudge a natural, self–assembly process toward significantly higher order. Nanolithography was used to impose the perturbation which ultimately led to an organized nanoparticle array. Specifically, liquid–phase pulsed laser induced dewetting (PLiD) was used to transform metallic thin film strips into nanoparticle arrays. Initially,...

Multipitch tracking is important for speech and signal processing. However, it is challenging to design an algorithm that achieves accurate pitch estimation and correct speaker assignment at the same time. In this paper, deep neural networks (DNNs) are used to model the probabilistic pitch states of two simultaneous speakers. To capture speaker-dependent information, two types of DNN with diffe...

In this paper, in order to understand the flow-pipe interaction more clearly, the variations on flow pattern around semi-buried pipelines due to steady current have physically and numerically been investigated. In physical modeling section, the experiments have been carried out in a flume with 10 meter length, 0.3 meter width and 0.5 meter depth using a P.V.C pipe with 6.35 cm in diameter (for ...

In this paper, a new approach for pitch estimation in polyphonic musical audio is presented. The algorithm is based on the pair-wise analysis of spectral peaks. The idea of the technique lies in the identification of partials with successive (odd) harmonic numbers. Since successive partials of a harmonic sound have well defined frequency ratios, a possible fundamental can be derived from the in...

This paper presents a new method of robust pitch estimation using sparsity-based estimation techniques. The method is developed based on sparse representation of a temporalspectral pitch feature. The robust pitch feature is obtained by accumulating spectral peaks over consecutive frames. It is expressed as a sparse linear combination of an over-complete set of peak spectrum exemplars. The proba...
