five-zone simulating moving bed (smb) system, designed for ternary separation, is a modified form of standard four-zone smb which is only effective in binary separation. it was reported in literature that the five-zone smb separates the extract-ii stream with a lower purity value than that of raffinate and extract-i streams. to address this issue, five zone smb was designed, using safety margin...

Wave diffraction is a very important phenomenon in marine engineering and several models have been developed for its simulation. The new version of SWAN, a third generation spectral model, includes an approximation to wave diffraction. The approximation is based on the mild-slope equation for refraction and diffraction, omitting phase information. The objective this paper is to evaluate the per...

in almost all of the present mathematical models, the upstream subbasins, with overland flow as the dominant type of flow, are simulated as a rectangular plane. however, the converging plane is the closest shape to an actual upstream subbasin. the intricate nature of the governing equations of the overland flow on a converging plane is the cause of prolonged absence of an analytical or semi ana...

The present study is concerned with the variational principle and plane wave propagation in double porous thermoelastic infinite medium. Lord-Shulman theory [2] of thermoelasticity with one relaxation time has been used to investigate the problem. It is found that for two dimensional model, there exists four coupled longitudinal waves namely longitudinal wave (P), longitudinal thermal wave (T),...

as the t-wave section in electrocardiogram (ecg) illustrates the repolarisation phase of heart activity, the information which is accumulated in this section is so significant that can explain the proper operation of electrical activities in heart. long qt syndrome (lqt) and t-wave alternans (twa) have imperceptible effects on time and amplitude of t-wave interval. therefore, t-wave shapes of t...

An approximation technique is considered for computing transmission and reflection coefficients for plane waves propagating through stratified slabs. The propagation of elastic pulse through a planar slab is derived from first principles using straightforward time-dependent method. The paper ends with calculations of enhancement factor for the elastic plane wave and it is shown that it depends ...

An approximation technique is considered for computing transmission and reflection coefficients for propagation of an elastic pulse through a planar slab of finite width. The propagation of elastic pulse through a planar slab is derived from first principles using straightforward time-dependent method. The paper ends with calculations of enhancement factor for the elastic plane wave and it is s...

the present paper studies the possibility of propagation of torsional surface waves in an inhomogeneous anisotropic layer lying between two heterogeneous half-spaces (upper and lower half-space). both the half-spaces are assumed to be under compressive initial stress. the study reveals that under the assumed conditions, a torsional surface wave propagates in the medium. the dispersion relation ...
