the problem of steady magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting nanofluid due to an exponentially permeable stretching sheet with heat source/sink in presence of thermal radiation is numerically investigated. the effect of transverse brownian motion and thermophoresis on heat transfer and nano particle volume fraction considered. the governing partial differential eq...

The outer membrane of the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus was isolated using sucrose step gradient centrifugation. Its detergent extracts contained an ion-permeable channel with an extremely high single-channel conductance of 20 nS in 1 M KCl. The channel protein was purified by preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacylamide gel electrophoresis. It has a high molecular mass ...

The incorporation of porin protein F from the outer membrane of Pseudomonas aeruginosa into artificial lipid bilayers results in an increase of the membrane conductance by many orders of magnitude. The membrane conductance is caused by the formation of large ion-permeable channels with a single-channel conductance in the order of 5 nS for 1 M alkali chlorides. The conductance has an ohmic curre...

This study makes use of the Tsallis entropy to predict the shear stress distribution. Given a definition of the Tsallis entropy, it is maximized by using the probability density function, which then is used to attain a novel shear stress equation. This is then employed for calculating the shear stress distribution in rectangular channels in different aspect ratios and finally, for viability, th...

We consider the stability of flux-driven flow through a long planar rigid channel, where segment one wall is replaced by pre-tensioned hyperelastic (neo-Hookean) solid finite thickness and subject to uniform external pressure. construct steady configuration nonlinear system using Newton's method with spectral collocation high-order differences. In agreement previous studies, which use an asympt...

We consider here pulsatile flow in circular tubes of varying cross-section with permeable walls. The fluid exchange across the wall is accounted for by prescribing the normal velocity of the fluid at the wall. A perturbation analysis has been carried out for low Reynolds number flows and for small amplitudes of oscillation. It has been observed that the magnitude of the wall shear stress and th...
