چکیده
Abstract—We report in this paper the evolution of a physically based drop size distribution coupling the Maximum Entropy Formalism and the Monte Carlo method to solve the coagulation equation. Using the discrete or continuous population balance equation, the Mass Flow Algorithm is formulated taking into account interactions between droplets via coalescence. After proposing a kernel for coalescence, we solve the time dependent drop size distribution equation using a Monte Carlo method which is convergent. The evolution of the drop size distribution shows the effect of spray droplets coalescence.

Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of sediment rating equation coefficients using the Monte-Carlo simulation (Case study: Zoshk-Abardeh watershed, Shandiz)
The sediment load estimation is essential for watershed management and soil conservation strategies. The sediment rating curve is the most common approach for estimating the sediment load when the observed sediment records are not available. With regard to the measurement errors and the limitation of available data, the sediment rating curve has a degree of uncertainty which should be accounted...
متن کاملEstimation for the Type-II Extreme Value Distribution Based on Progressive Type-II Censoring
In this paper, we discuss the statistical inference on the unknown parameters and reliability function of type-II extreme value (EVII) distribution when the observed data are progressively type-II censored. By applying EM algorithm, we obtain maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs). We also suggest approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs), which have explicit expressions. We provide Bayes ...

In this paper we develop an efficient stochastic method to solve the time evolution of a bivariate population balance equation which has been developed for modelling nano-particle dynamics. We have adapted the existing stochastic models used in the study of coagulation dynamics to solve a variant of the sintering-coagulation equation proposed by Xiong & Pratsinis. Hitherto stochastic models bas...

This reports the study on the flow behaviour, heat transfer and contamination distribution in a room. For this purpose the 3-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, energy equation and a mass transfer equation which model the concentration of contamination have been applied. For turbulence simulation the two equation standard k- turbulence model was employed. By means of SIMPLE algorithm the...
متن کاملEstimation of penetration rate of tunnel boring machines using Monte-Carlo simulation method
One of the most important parameters used for determining the performance of tunnel boring machines (TBMs) is their penetration rate. The parameters affecting the penetration rate can be divided in two categories. The first category is the controllable parameters such as the TBM technical characteristics, and type and geometry of the tunnel, and the second one is the uncontrollable parameters s...
