Abstract

This monograph provides an epistemological rational to aid educators with the design of inquiry in trichotomous research. “Triangular Equation Modeling” (or “TEM”) is a simple but precise research methodology for the creation of accurate and in–depth research questions, and trichotomous variables for the aggregation of data on a specifically identified criterion. Triangular Equation Modeling builds the foundation for the Tri-Squared Test in a Tri-Coordinate set of variables in dual Cartesian coordinates [x and y]. It is a basic research method that involves detailing research principles in a precise isometric model so that instrumentation can be created for research analysis and investigation.

Abstract

The paper presents probabilistic modeling and analysis of a cable plant subsystem with two identical machines operating in parallel. Seven year's failure data of the cable plant depicts three types of maintenances for the subsystem: repair, minor preventive maintenance and major preventive maintenance. The subsystem undergoes repair upon failure while minor and major preventive maintenance is performed as per schedule. Priority is given to repair over preventive maintenance. Mean time to failure, availability, expected busy period and expected number of repairs have been estimated by analyzing the subsystem using semi Markov process and regenerative point technique. Graphs have been established to demonstrate simulated results.

Abstract

The unsteady MHD mixed convection flow past an infinite vertical porous plate embedded in a porous medium in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction with viscous dissipation, heat source and soret effect have been investigated. The governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically using two-term harmonic and nonharmonic functions by Perturbation technique. The effects of various parameters like Radiation parameter, Soret number, Schmidt number, Chemical reaction parameter and Prandtl number on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields have been examined with the help of graphs. The Skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are also derived and discussed through tables.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study numerically, magneto-convective non-Newtonian Tangent Hyperbolic boundary layer flow over a circular cylinder. The non-dimensional governing nonlinear coupled partial differential equations are solved by using finite element method. The computational numerical quantities for different parameters which govern the momentum and thermal boundary layers are described quantitatively and epitomized vividly. The numerical results of the skin friction, Nusselt number within the flow regime are compared to validate with the previously reported results in some limiting cases of the present analysis, and are found to be in good agreement.
