This indicates that they will have a vital contribution to nanotechnology engineering. This paper presents an exact solution to the dynamic response of such CNTs considering the shear force and bending moment under uniformly distributed external pressure. The dynamic behaviour of the SWCNT is modeled by employing the theories of Euler-Bernoulli beam and thermal elasticity mechanics. The developed model that governs the physics of the behaviour of the SWCNT when excited by the aforementioned external agents is solved using Integral transforms. The results of the close form solution in this work were compared with results of past works and excellent agreements were achieved. Furthermore, the dynamic study revealed that a point of maximum shear force on the CNT produced the minimum bending moment at any mode and for any parameter value considered. It is envisaged that this work will enhance the application of SWCNT for structural, electrical and mechanical uses.","PeriodicalId":11518,"journal":{"name":"Engineering and Applied Science Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46676755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the viscoelastic Walter’s B fluid past a stretching wall. To answer this, the governing differential equation is derived by substituting similarity variables into the partial differential equations (PDEs) and associated boundary conditions. The present HBA is also developed by minimizing the averaged square residual error included in the quadratic resistance law (QRL). By comparing the present findings with those available in the literature, it is seen that the 9th-order HBA can provide an incredible degree of accuracy and reliability. Furthermore, it is found that the central processing unit (CPU) time is greatly reduced when the auxiliary parameter is selected as h̄=-0.122.","PeriodicalId":11518,"journal":{"name":"Engineering and Applied Science Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49094305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the study, kerosene is used as the base fluid which is embedded with the silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles. Also, effects of other pertinent parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the Casson-Carreau nanofluids are investigated and discussed. From the results, it is established that the temperature field and the thermal boundary layers of Ag-Kerosene nanofluid are highly effective when compared with the Cu-Kerosene nanofluid. Heat transfer rate is enhanced by increasing power-law index and unsteadiness parameter. Skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number can be reduced by magnetic field parameter and they can be enhanced by increasing the aligned angle. Friction factor is depreciated and the rate of heat transfer increases by increasing the Weissenberg number. A very good agreement is established between the results of the present study and the previous results. The present analysis can help in expanding the understanding of the thermo-fluidic behaviour of the Casson-Carreau nanofluid over a stretching sheet.","PeriodicalId":11518,"journal":{"name":"Engineering and Applied Science Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42459500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Important parameters which affect GMAW process are amperage, arc length, wire feed speed, welding speed and welding voltage. In this paper, we have focused and studied important controllable factor’s effects on depth of penetration, deposition efficiency, bead width and bead reinforcement to find best weld during welding in mobile or outdoor welding shop in stress and overloaded conditions by Box-Behnken design of quadratic model for GMAW process and optimization analysis on desirability function. Quality of welds is defined as \"the level of perfection that welds exhibit pertaining to the entire volume of weldment as well as to the profile of weld surface appearance\". With reference to quality weld definition as defined above, the study is performed to find out the best welding condition whereas best weld is the weld with deposition efficiency value as larger the best, depth of penetration value with \"larger the best\", bead width value \"nominal the best\", discontinuities number per weld’s count value \"smaller the best\". Productivity in term of quality is defined as an optimum blend of parameters which inevitably develop minimum or no defect then the process will result in high productivity. For given certain material and similar welding circumstances, our analysis has found the most optimal factor’s values for the similar condition of field data. This study will contribute welding research work in terms of points as described, firstly to enhance the knowledge of welding process and analysis by utilizing DOE along with desirability function, secondly ability to provide narrow window of weld process parameter to produce the quality weld and thirdly to study the GMAW process for mobile welding shop in the toughest condition such as the windy and dusty environment.","PeriodicalId":11518,"journal":{"name":"Engineering and Applied Science Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46301600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These consideration in fin design has stimulated an extensive research interest in the recent time. In this study, investigation on the thermal responses of moving irregular porous fins with trapezoidal, concave and convex profiles of copper, aluminium, silicon nitrides and stainless steel materials is examined. The developed thermal model is solved using differential transform method (DTM). On the verification of result obtained with numerical method using Runge-Kutta, a good agreement with the solution of approximate method is achieved. In the parametric studies carried out, the effect of physical parameters such as convective-conductive, convective-radiative term, internal heat generation, porosity, surface emissivity, power index of heat transfer coefficient, Peclet number and Darcy number on the thermal behaviour of fins are examined and discussed. The comparative analysis carried out on the effect of materials on non-dimensional temperature distribution reveals that copper obtains the highest temperature while the stainless steel gets the lowest. More-so, the fins with concave geometry gives the highest volume adjusted efficiency with increase in Peclet number while that with convex profile has the least. These result output are essential and would be useful in the future design of fins with optimum size reduction and high efficiency.","PeriodicalId":11518,"journal":{"name":"Engineering and Applied Science Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47855706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
