One of the main controlling parameters in diesel engine combustion is the fuel – air mixing process that has direct effects on engine performance and pollutant emissions, reviewing over previous literature showed that split ...

Electrical discharge machining has the capability of machining complicated shapes in electrically conductive materials independent of hardness of the work materials. This present article details the development of multiple ...

The purpose of this research is to study the mechanical behavior of a micropump with clamped circular diaphragm which is the main component of drug delivery systems. In this paper, the non-linear governing equations of the ...

In this paper, the stability analysis and control design of heterogeneous traffic flow is considered. It is assumed that the traffic flow consists of infinite number of cooperative non-identical vehicular platoons. Two ...

This paper presents a three-level supply chain model which includes single supplier, several distribution centers and sets of retailers. For this purpose, by adopting the queuing approach, a mixed nonlinear integer programming ...

The enhancement of operating life cycle of electronic devices necessitates the development of efficient cooling techniques. Therefore, in the present work the effects of employment of Phase Change Material, in the adiabatic ...

One of the most important points in a supply chain is customer-driven modeling, which reduces the bullwhip effect in the supply chain, as well as the costs of investment on the inventory and efficient transshipment of the ...

One of the key challenges of employing photovoltaic systems is to extract maximum power of the panels. This problem is known as maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique. The MPPT stands for establishing situation in ...

In this paper a novel method for detecting targets in inactive radars is presented. In this method, the time history of cellsof the ambiguity function is used for detection. For this purpose, the cell history is considered ...

Image classification and retrieval systems have gained more attention because of easier access to high-tech medical imaging. However, the lack of availability of large-scaled balanced labelled data in medicine is still a ...

Uncontrolled intersections are the intersections where there are no external signs or signals to control the movement of vehicles. In mixed traffic conditions priority rules are often violated by the road users. In ...

Though it is vital to estimate infiltration as one of the key factors in effective management of water resources, only few studies have been carried out either to determine the infiltration or to compare the performance ...

In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) has been used to predict the vapor pressure of pure organic compounds based on Riedel equation. Initially, the coefficients of Riedel equation were optimized. Then, a new term was ...
