In the present work the effect of Cu-Water nanofluid, as heat transfer fluid, on the performance of a parabolic solar collector was studied numerically. The temperature field, thermal efficiency, mean-outlet temperatures have been evaluated and compared for the conventional parabolic collectors and nanofluid based collectors. Further, the effect of various parameters such as fluid velocity, vol...

This paper proposes a new approach based on Bonferroni mean operator and possibility degree to solve fuzzy multi-attribute decision making (FMADM) problems in which the attribute value takes the form of interval type-2 fuzzy numbers. We introduce the concepts of interval possibility mean value and present a new method for calculating the possibility degree of two interval trapezoidal type-2 fuz...

in this work we consider conjugacy of elements and parabolic subgroups‎ ‎in details‎, ‎in a new class of artin groups‎, ‎introduced in an earlier work‎, ‎which may contain arbitrary parabolic subgroups‎. ‎in particular‎, ‎we find‎ ‎algorithmically minimal representatives of elements in a conjugacy class‎ ‎and also an algorithm to pass from one minimal representative to the others‎.

We have presented trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number. Arithmetic operations of trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number is presented based on (α, β)-cuts. We have presented intuitionistic fuzzy fault tree analysis using trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number. In application of intuitionistic fuzzy fault tree analysis, we have computed failure of fire protection system taking failure of eac...

Fuzzy Newton-Cotes method for integration of fuzzy functions that was proposed by Ahmady in [1]. In this paper we construct error estimate of fuzzy Newton-Cotes method such as fuzzy Trapezoidal rule and fuzzy Simpson rule by using Taylor's series. The corresponding error terms are proven by two theorems. We prove that the fuzzy Trapezoidal rule is accurate for fuzzy polynomial of degree one and...

As an extension of the intuitionistic fuzzy set, intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy set is an invaluable mathematical theory to express uncertain phenomenon in our real word. In this article, the aggregation methods of the intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy information are chief researched. Firstly, the generalized aggregation operator is introduced for aggregating intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy ...

the leopard moth, zeuzera pyrina (l.) (lepidoptera: cossidae) is a serious pest of walnut and apple trees in iran. one of the control methods for this pest is the mass trapping of males using pheromone traps. to determine the best size and color of traps, four different colors (green, yellow, white, gray) and two different sizes (delta shape with standard adhesive surface, 19 × 22 cm and trapez...

project selection is considered as an important problem in project management. it is multi-criteria in nature and is based on various quantitative and qualitative factors. the main purpose of this paper is to present a new rank-based method for project selection in outranking relation. according to this approach, decision alternatives were clustered in the concordance matrix and the discordance...

The concept of trapezoidal valued hesitant fuzzy set is introduced. Notion for distance between any two trapezoidal valued hesitant fuzzy elements is given. Using this proposed distance measure, we extend the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution for trapezoidal valued hesitant fuzzy sets. An example is constructed to show usefulness of this extension for multicriteria ...
