Using appropriate transformations for the velocity and temperature, the basic nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced to the ordinary differential equations. Then, these equations have been solved analytically and numerically for some values of the governing parameters, Reynolds number, Re, channel half angle, α, Prandtl number, Pr, and Eckert number, Ec, using Adomian decomposition method and the Runge-Kutta method with mathematic package. Analytical and numerical results are searched for the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and the velocity and temperature profiles. It is found on one hand that the Nusselt number increases as Eckert number or channel half-angle increases, but it decreases as Reynolds number increases. On the other hand, it is also found that the presence of Cu nanoparticles in a water base fluid enhances heat transfer between nonparallel plane walls and in consequence the Nusselt number increases with the increase of nanoparticles volume fraction. Finally, an excellent agreement between analytical results and those obtained by numerical Runge-Kutta method is highly noticed.展开更多

The compress of street boundary results in the force to push the building moving inside and the force propagation is a decay process. To describe the phenomenon above, the field theory is introduced with the representation model of isoline. On the basis of the skeleton of Delaunay triangulation, the displacement field is built in which the propagation force is related to the adjacency degree with respect to the street boundary. The study offers the computation of displacement direction and offset distance for the building displacement. The vector operation is performed on the basis of grade and other field concepts.展开更多

Interference temperature limit of corresponding primary users was considered. Due to the constraints caused by multiple dual channels, the power allocation problem is non-convex and NP-hard. Based on geometric programming (GP), a novel and general algorithm, which turned the problem into a series of GP problems by logarithm approximation (LASGP), was proposed to efficiently solve it. Numerical results verify the efficiency and availability of the LASGP algorithm. Solutions of LASGP are provably convergent and globally optimal point can be observed as well as the channel allocation always outperforms power or timeslot allocation from simulations. Compared with schemes without any allocation, the scheme with joint channel, power and timeslot allocation significantly increases the overall end-to-end throughput by no less than 70% under same simulation conditions. This scheme can not only maximize the throughput by increasing total maximum power of relay node, but also outperform other resource allocation schemes when lower total maximum power of source and relay nodes is restricted. As the total maximum power of source node increases, the scheme with joint channel and timeslot allocation performs best in all schemes.展开更多

OFDM is a key technique for achieving high data rates and spectral efficiency requirements for wireless communication systems. But in scattering environment, the system performances are severely degraded by the effects of multipath fading and inter-symbol interference. In wireless communication systems, antenna diversity is an important technique to combat multipath fading in order to improve the system performance and increase the channel capacity. In this paper, the performance of different diversity combining techniques-SC (selection combining), EGC (equal gain combining) and MRC (maximal ratio combining) has been analyzed and compared in terms of SNR (signal to noise ratio) and BER (bit error rate) probability. The simulation results show that the maximal ratio combining technique provides maximum performance improvement relative to all other combining schemes by maximizing the SNR of SIMO-OFDM system at the combiner output. The analytic expressions of error probability and effective bit energy to noise ratio correlated with BPSK (binary phase shift keying) modulation have been derived and formulated for N-branch SC, EGC and MRC schemes. The BER characteristics for all three combining techniques are simulated in MATLAB (matrix laboratory) tool box for varying bit energy to noise ratio. Our results also derives that SNR can be improved if the number of receiving antenna is increased, which in turn reduces BER over a Rayleigh fading channel.展开更多

The structure of syn-2,4-di-p-tolylpentane-2,4-diol (2b) was characterized by X-ray diffraction and compared with the crystal structures of anti- and syn-2,4-diphenylpentane-2,4-diols (la and lb). X-ray diffraction indicates that inter and intra-molecular hydrogen bonds are formed in the crystal structures. There is n-n staking interaction in lb and 2b. Good linear correlations and similar results are found between the experimental 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts (6~exp) and GIAO (Gauge Independent Atomic Orbital) method calculated magnetic isotropic shielding tensors (acalc). HOMO and LUMO molecular orbitals were calculated at the same levels with the different results. UV-vis absorption spectra of the compounds were recorded in EtOH, MeCN, n-BuOH and cyclohexane with different dielectric constants. It is found that the solvent effect is obvious when e is 24.85(EtOH), 35.69(MeCN) and it is weak when e is decreased to 17.33(n-BuOH), 1.18 (cyclohexane).展开更多

The governing equations of hyperbolic tangent fluid model for curved channel are derived including the effects of curvature. The highly nonlinear partial differential equations are simplified by using the wave frame transformation,long wave length and low Reynolds number assumptions. The reduced nonlinear partial differential equation is solved analytically with the help of homotopy perturbation method (HPM). The physical features of pertinent parameters have been discussed by plotting the graphs of pressure rise and stream functions.展开更多
