this paper presents a numerical study of local mass transfer coefficients in a 90° bend using the rng version of k–e model to include the influence of curvature on the turbulent transport. simulations were performed for flow through a 90°, 3-d bend for reynolds numbers of 13500, 90000, and 390000, schmidt numbers of 2.53 and 700 and curvature ratios of 1.5, 2, and 2.5. the differences between t...

As part of the energy efficient system modeling, which is of interest amongst all areas of research in industry and academia, this paper proposes a design of energy efficient Ethernet access system. The model estimates the feasibility of operating the network interface component under power saving modes, without compromising on the quality of service. In order to prevent degradation of the serv...

Subsurface modeling from seismic and borehole data is important for reservoir prediction, geophysical exploration and production. A reasonable model should honor borehole rock properties and conform to seismic structural and stratigraphic features. Such a subsurface model can be di cult to create in cases complicated by faults and unconformities. Automatic and semi-automatic methods have been p...

An application-level protocol that integrates the concept of application level framing and the network-aware applications is proposed in this paper to support the network applications with the synchronized multimedia session. The application model and the application QoS for the protocol are also proposed. The application QoS for each connection includes the maximum allowable ratio of the lost ...

In this paper, a transmit power control scheme for a cognitive radio system (CRS) in a Rayleigh fading channel based on the location information of primary user is proposed. The situation where primary user (PU) i.e. licensed user share the spectrum with secondary user (SU) i.e. cognitive radio have been considered. First a mathematical model for probability of detection as a function of distan...

In this article, the measurement of wear i n radial journal bearings is discussed, where a distinction is made between stationa y and non-stationa y contact conditions. Starting with Holm/ArchardS wear law, equations are derived for the calculation of the specific wear rate k of the bearing material as afunction of the wear depth d, measured after an experiment or a period of use i n practice. ...

The power gating technique is useful in reducing standby leakage current, but it increases the gate delay. For a functional unit, its maximum allowable delay (for a target clock period) limits its smallest standby leakage current its power gating can achieve. In this paper, we point out that, in the high-level synthesis of a nonzero clock skew circuit, the resource binding (including functional...
