Abstract— The flow past an infinite vertical isothermal plate started impulsively in its own plane in a viscous incompressible two-phase nanofluid has been considered by taking into account the viscous dissipative heat. Two nano particles Copper (Cu) and Alumina (Al2O3) are submerged in a base fluid, Water (H20). The coupled non-linear partial differential equations which govern the flow are so...

A fast method for car-license plate detection (CLPD) presents three main contributions. The first contribution is that we propose a fast vertical edge detection algorithm (VEDA) based on the contrast between the grayscale values, which enhances the speed of the CLPD method. After binarizing the input image using adaptive thresholding (AT), an unwanted-line elimination algorithm (ULEA) is propos...

Abstract Lattice materials are widely used in engineering structures as their potential for multifunctional applications. In this study, a body-centered cubic (BCC) stretching-bending synergistic lattice material is constructed based on the face-centered with vertical struts (FCCZ) stretching configuration that has both and bending deformation mechanisms. Finite element models equivalent establ...

Microdevices have been actively implemented in chemical processes, such as mixing and reactions. However, microseparation devices, excluding extraction are still under development. In distillation, the use of microdevices has expected to improve separation performance, their large specific surface area enables a rapid vapor–liquid equilibrium for temperature gradients be easily realized. this s...

This paper is about experimental results for partial reduction of vortex at vertical pipe intakes. One of the easiest and practical ways of reducing vortex effect is to use anti-vortex plates or baffles. These plates can be used to avoid the vortex completely or partially. This paper will concentrate on the latter case. Rectangular plates with different dimensions have been placed at different ...
