Implementation Of A Modified Procesi Algorithm To Compute Covariants Of Binary Forms Of Up To Degree Five And Their Relations
ABSTRACTIn his book (Procesi,C., 2007), Claudio Procesi suggested anew algorithm for computing covariants of binary forms underthe action of SL(2;C), based on an iterative computationsof covariants of the simpler group U+. In Procesi book thecomputation was carried out only for binary forms of degree3 and 4, but the _rst signi_cant test for the algorithm wouldbe the computation for degree 5. In 2010 summer school inAlgebra organized by ICTP in Kenya, Procesi suggested theimplementation ...
Investigating Turbulent Convection In A Rectangular Enclosure Using Shear Stress Transport K-ω Model
Studies have been done on the aspect ratio effect on natural convection turbulence using standard k-ε model but further studies showed that k-ω SST model performed better than both k-ε and k-ω model in the whole enclosure. Thus, there was need to do a numerical study on the natural convection fluid flow in a rectangular enclosure full of air using SST k-ω model. The left vertical wall of the enclosure was maintained at a steady high temperature Th of 323K while the ri...

ABSTRACT In this study, the impact of a transverse magnetic field on blood flowing through an axisymmetric curved shaped stenotic artery has been investigated. This research is of importance in the field of medicine. There is an application in magnetic hyperthermia which is used to shrink tumors in the treatment of cancer. In addition to this, the externally applied magnetic field is also used to reduce/diminish blood flow in the region of stenosis and hence it is used in the treatment o...
Hall Effect On A Steady Magneto-Convection And Radiative Heat Transfer Past A Porous Plate
ABSTRACT Heat transfer plays a great role in engineering processes, blowing of fluids is used in designing thrusters and prevention of corrosion. Suction is used in film cooling and coating of wires in chemical engineering. A lot of research has based on thermal reduction in processing streams and forgetting the machine efficiency. The study theoretically investigates the effect of hall current on a steady magneto convection and radiative heat transfer over a porous plate. This work is ...

ABSTRACT The boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer in a quiescent nanofluid driven by a continuous stretching sheet is significant in numerous engineering and industrial processes. Nanofluids posses enhanced thermo physical properties which make them more superior than convectional fluids. This study investigates numerically heat and mass transfer of asteady laminar,viscous incompressible electrically conducting micro polar nanofluid past a porous medium and over a sheet that is s...
Stresses Resulting From Fluid Flow In Pipes
ABSTRACT The determination of the components of stress on a pipe made of either linearly elastic or non-linearly elastic material and subjected to internal fluid pressure is of immense benefit to engineers. Chung et al [2] worked on a class of non-linearly elastic type with some degree of success. This work seeks an improvement on [2]. It will do this by obtaining such components of stress in a form that engineers will find easy to use. Towards obtaining the required components, the ra...

Deterministic And Stochastic Model Of Dynamics Of Ebola Virus
ABSTRACT In this work a deterministic and stochastic model is developed to investigate the deterministic and stochastic model of dynamics of Ebola virus. The model includes susceptible, exposed, infected, quarantined and removed or recovered individuals. The model used in this work is based on a deterministic model. The Chowell (2015) work on early detection of Ebola is modified by introducing an assumption that the quarantined class is totally successful and cannot infect the suscepti...
Constrained Controllability Of Linear And Semilinear Systems With Delay In State And Control
ABSTRACTIn this work, sufficient conditions for the constrained controllability of linear and semi linear systems with delay in state and control are formulated and proved. For the linear delay system, necessary and sufficient conditions are developed by establishing the equivalence of a delay system without delay to show local relative controllability. For the semi linear delay system, sufficient conditions are also developed by using the associate linear dynami...

ABSTRACT The major goal of this research work is to determine the dynamic buckling load of a viscously damped imperfect quadratic-cubic elastic model structure, which is modeled by a nonlinear differential equation containing a load parameter. For a structure with small imperfections and subjected to step loading , the equation contains two small independent parameters, upon which asymptotic expansions are initiated. The nonlinearity is quadratic-cubic in nature and multiple-scaling t...

Linear Programming is a subset of Mathematical Programming that is concerned with efficient allocation of limited resources to known activities with the objective of meeting a desired goal of maximization or minimization of a function. Linear Programming determines the way to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a given mathematical model, given some list of requirements as linear equations. Linear Programming can be applied to various fields of study - bus...
