Heat and mass transfer characteristics and the flow behavior on MHD flow near the lower stagnation point of a porous isothermal horizontal circular cylinder have been studied. The equations of conservation of mass, momentum, energy and concentration which govern the case study of heat and mass transfer flow have been obtained. These equations have been transformed into a system of non-dimension...

Abstract—Colemanite is the most common borate mineral, and the main source of the boron required by plants, human, and earth. Transition metals exhibit optical and physical properties such as; non-linear optical character, structural diversity, thermal stability, long cycle life and luminescent radiation. The doping of colemanite with a transition metal, bring it very interesting and attractive...

The present paper deals with the study of thermal radiation effect on unsteady flow and heat transfer characteristics of viscous fluid with variable viscosity over a porous stretching sheet placed in a porous medium in the presence of viscous dissipation. A uniform magnetic field is applied transversely to the direction of the flow. Similarity transformations are used to convert the governing t...

in this study multivariate statistical analysis are used to characterize relationships between hydrochemical properties ofthermal and non-thermal springs. four factors for thermal waters and two for non-thermal springs were extracted basedon factor analysis. in thermal springs, the first factor showed high loading on ca, mg, na and k and this factor wasinterpreted as leaching of cations in the ...

The subject of this work is the coupled steady-state conduction-radiation-convection heat transfer phenomenon in a non-convex blackbody, which represented by second-order partial differential equation (representing conduction inside body) subjected to nonlinear (and non-local) boundary conditions (due thermal radiation transfer). Moreover, anon-convex body emits radiant energy itself, must be t...

Radon and progeny ((218)Po, (214)Pb, (214)Bi and (214)Po) in thermal spas are well known radioactive pollutants identified for additional radiation burden of patients due to the activity concentration peaks which appear during bath treatment or due to drinking of waters of high radon content. This burden affects additionally the working personnel of the spas. The present paper has focused on th...

We consider stochastic particle acceleration in plasmas around stellar mass black holes to explain the emissions above 1 MeV from Galactic black hole candidates. We show that for certain parameter regimes, electrons can overcome Coulomb losses and be accelerated beyond the thermal distribution to form a new population, whose distribution is broad and usually not a power law; the peak energy of ...

Multi-angular observation of land surface thermal radiation is considered to be a promising method of performing the angular normalization of land surface temperature (LST) retrieved from remote sensing data. This paper focuses on an investigation of the minimum requirements of viewing angles to perform such normalizations on LST. The normally kernel-driven bi-directional reflectance distributi...
