The bottom surface of the enclosure is heated using a constant heat flux in the range from 40 to 6600 W/m while the upper surface is cooled by forced air stream, and side walls are insulated. The heat transfer rate for aspect ratio, AR=2, is higher than that for the aspect ratio A= 1. The average temperature of hot surface decreases with the increase of nanoparticles volume concentration, , up to minimum values at =0.8 % and then increases with further increase in . The average hot surface temperature increases with the increase in the modified Rayleigh number. The heat transfer rate increases with the increase of the modified Rayleigh number up to maximum values of about 8 * 10 Ra and then decreases with further increase in * Ra . The highest value of the average Nusselt number is located at = 0.8%. A general correlation is obtained for calculating the average heat transfer rate as a function of modified Rayleigh number and nanoparticles volume concentration.","PeriodicalId":232733,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Faculty of Engineering.

The aims of the approach are minimizing device investment cost, and the locational marginal pricing (LMP) differences between buses to maximize revenue. This revenue is defined as the difference between EB with and without FACTS installation. The expected cost includes operating cost not only under normal condition but also under contingencies along with their associated probabilities to occur. The proposed method accurately evaluates the annual cost and benefits obtainable by FACTS devices installation by formulating a large-scale optimization problem that contains power flow analyses for a large number of system states representing annual power system operations. The objectives for normal state are maximizing social welfare by minimizing LMPs differences between buses and minimizing of generations re-scheduling, while the objectives in case of contingency are maximizing social welfare as well as minimizing compensations paid for generations re-scheduling and load shedding cost. The overall problem is solved using both Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) for attaining optimal FACTS devices setting and allocation as main problem and optimal power flow to calculate the operating costs and benefits as sub optimization problem. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated on modified IEEE 14-bus test system and IEEE 118-bus test system.","PeriodicalId":232733,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Faculty of Engineering.

The yarn and fabric models have been developed based on Hagen – Poiseuille’s equation on fluid flow and pore geometry through the yarns (inter–fibre pores) and fabrics (inter–yarn pores) have been determined. Factors such as yarn porosity, number of fibres in a yarn cross-section, fibre denier, yarn denier, yarn crimp, hydraulic pore diameter and fibre contact angle have been taken into account for development of the yarn model. Also, factors such as yarns diameters, ends & picks/ cm, fabric thickness, hydraulic pore diameter and fabric porosity have been taken into account for development of the fabric model. University mathematical equation has been incorporated, which helps to predict vertical wicking height at any given time considering the capillary and gravitational effects.

Experiments were done for different combinations of Fe+2 and Mn+2 concentrations. The obtained results show that Potassium Permanganate (PP) gives good results. By using PP dose equals to half of the theoretically required one, it can remove up to 100% and 90% of iron and manganese respectively over different tested concentrations at pH=7.0. Increasing rate of filtration decreases the Mn+2 removal efficiency obviously. Sedimentation is required when combined concentrations of iron and manganese are greater than 5.0 ppm to reduce filter rapid clogging. Using conventional treatment with adding Alum, flocculation, sedimentation and filtration can remove up to 97% and 18% of iron and manganese respectively.
