in this study it has been tried, to compare results and convergence rate of sensitivity analysis and conjugate gradient algorithms to reduce fuel consumption and increasing engine performance by optimizing the timing of opening and closing valves in xu7/l3 engine. in this study, considering the strength and accuracy of simulation gt-power software in researches on the internal combustion engine...

high weissenberg boundary layer flow of viscoelastic fluids on a stretching surface has been studied. the flow is considered to be steady and two dimensional. flows of viscoelastic liquids at high weissenberg number exhibit stress boundary layers near walls. these boundary layers are caused by the memory of the fluid. upon proper scaling and by means of an exact similarity transformation, the n...

We derive a generalized heat conduction problem for rarefied gas at slip regime from gradient system where the driving functional is entropy. Specifically, we construct an Onsager [Formula: see text] such that associated evolution of given by text], operator, contains higher-gradients absolute temperature text]. Moreover, through Legendre–Fenchel theory, write as classical with induced flow equ...

In the present manuscript, the second strain gradient (SSG) is utilized to investigate the primary resonance of a nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli nanobeam is analyzed in this paper...

Ohmic heating is defined as a process which alternating electric current is passed through food with the primary purpose of heating it due to the electrical resistance and can be specially applied as an alternative heating method. In this research, Aloe vera gel concentrates having 0.5-2% soluble solids were ohmically heated up to 60°C by using four different voltage gradi...

Introduction Wedge modifiers are commonly applied in external beam radiotherapy to change the dose distribution corresponding to the body contour and to obtain a uniform dose distribution within the target volume. Since the radiation dose delivered to the target must be within ±5% of the prescribed dose, accurate dose calculation by a treatment planning system (TPS) is important. The objective ...

Filter is one of the main components of embankment dams. By a simple but effective performance, filter protects the dam against erosion and soil scouring in impervious core caused by leakage (piping) and makes it safe. Interaction between filter and erodible base soil is a complex phenomenon which is dependent upon several factors, and has challenged researchers for better understanding the fil...

in this paper, chebyshev acceleration technique is used to solve the fuzzy linear system (fls). this method is discussed in details and followed by summary of some other acceleration techniques. moreover, we show that in some situations that the methods such as jacobi, gauss-sidel, sor and conjugate gradient is divergent, our proposed method is applicable and the acquired results are illustrate...
