In this paper, we obtain a generalization of the Gronwall’s inequality to cover the study of porous elastic media considering their internal state variables. Based on some estimations obtained in three auxiliary results, we use this form of the Gronwall’s inequality to prove the uniqueness of solution for the mixed initial-boundary value problem co...

Molecular topology is a key to determine the physiochemical aspects of the molecular structure. To determine the degree of irregularity of a certain molecular structure or a network has been a key source of interest for the molecular topologists as it provides an insight of the key features that are used to guess the properties of the structures. I...

Round rod baffle (RRB), plain plate baffle (PPB), wavy-shaped plate baffle (WSB) and polygonal-shaped plate baffle (PSB) are four commonly used baffles in parallel flow shell and tube heat exchangers (STHXs). Comparative study of these four different baffles are numerically carried out using different performance indicators including Nusselt number...

The thermal-hydraulic performance of a new parallel-flow shell and tube heat exchanger (STHX) with equilateral cross-sectioned wire coil (HCBetwc-STHX) is investigated in turbulent regime. Four different surrogate models are established to predict the thermal-hydraulic performance. Their merits and drawbacks are illustrated. The results show that t...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have great application potential in partition parameter observation, such as forest fire detection. Due to the limited battery capacity of sensor nodes, how to reduce energy consumption is an important technical challenge. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient routing algorithm of adaptive double cluster head...

This research is mainly concerned with the characteristics of magnetohydrodynamics and Darcy–Forchheimer medium in nanofluid flow between two horizontal plates. A uniformly induced magnetic impact is involved at the direction normal to the lower plate. Darcy–Forchheimer medium is considered between the plates that allow the flow along horizontal ax...

This article addresses the effects of thermal radiation, stratification, and Joule heating for the flow of magnetohydrodynamics Sutterby nanofluid past over a stretching cylinder. The transport phenomenon of heat and mass are modeled under temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and diffusion coefficients, respectively. Moreover, traditional Fou...

Among the many techniques for obtaining heat and electricity, solar thermal collectors, photovoltaic (PV) technology and PV/thermal (PV/T) technology have a very important place. The PV/T collectors enable the simultaneous conversion of solar radiation into thermal and electrical energy in a single device, with better space utilization and cost eff...
