Effect of melting heat transfer and thermal radiation on Casson fluid flow in porous medium over moving surface with magnetohydrodynamics
No full textIn this study, the effects of variable fluid properties on heat transfer in MHD Casson fluid melts over a moving surface in a porous medium in the presence of the radiation are examined. The relevant similarity transformations are used to reduce the governing equations into a system of highly nonlinear ordinary differential equations and those are then solved numerically using the Runge–Kutta–Fehlbergmethod. The effects of different controlling parameters, namely, the Casson parameter,melting and radiation parameters, Prandtl number,magnetic field, porosity, viscosity and the thermal conductivity parameters on flow and heat transfer are investigated. The numerical results for the dimensionless velocity and temperature as well as friction factor and reducedNusselt number are presented graphically and discussed. It is found that the rate of heat transfer increases as the Casson parameter increases
Effects of Slip and Radiation on Convective MHD Casson Nanofluid Flow over a Stretching Sheet Influenced by Variable Viscosity
No full textAbstract: The aim of the present investigation is framing the effect of thermalradiation and slip on a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Casson nanofluid flowover a stretching surface under the influence of variable viscosity andconvective boundary condition. First, non-dimensionally developedboundary layer equations are deduced with suitable transformations. Thenthey are solved numerically by the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method with theshooting technique for different values of parameters. The most relevantresult of the present study is the fact that the augmented magneticfield strength, Casson fluid parameter, and the inclined angle underminethe flow velocity, establishing thinner hydrodynamics boundary layer,while the thermal slip and radiation parameters show the opposite trend.Another most important outcome is the fact that increase in the Prandtlnumber, radiation, viscosity, thermal slip, and radiation upsurges thefluid temperature, leading to improvement in the thermal boundary layer.The effects of different natural parameters on the skin frictioncoefficient and the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are examinedgraphically. For a limiting case of the present model, the obtainedsolution was found to be in excellent agreement with the existingliterature
Casson fluid flow: Free convective heat and mass transfer over an unsteady permeable stretching surface considering viscous dissipation
No full textThe present study investigates a Casson fluid flow in the presence of free convection of combined heat and mass transfer toward an unsteady permeable stretching sheet with thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and chemical reaction. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then solved by an efficient Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method. The dimensionless velocity is decreased by increasing values of the chemical reaction and magnetic parameter while fluid temperature is significantly reduced by increasing values of the Prandtl number. The heat transfer rate is reduced with increasing values of thermal radiation and magnetic parameters
Chemical reaction effects on MHD rotating fluid over a vertical plate embedded in porous medium with heat source
No full textSeveral boundary layer flowswith heat and mass transfer problems do arise from a pebble bed nuclear reactor system. In this study, we examine the combined effects of variable thermal conductivity, thermal diffusion, diffusion thermo, heat source, chemical reaction and fluid rotation on hydromagnetic mixed convective flow with heat and mass transfer over a vertical plate embedded in porous medium. The governing partial differential equations have been transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations by employing the similarity transformation and solved numerically using the RungeâKuttaâFehlberg method with a shooting technique. Pertinent results obtained are presented graphically and in tabular form with respect to variation in various thermophysical parameters. A comparison of the special case of this study with the previously published work shows excellent agreement
Effects of chemical reaction on combined heat and mass transfer by laminar mixed convection flow from vertical surface with induced magnetic field and radiation
No full textThe elevated temperature electromagnetic materials production system in chemical engineering requires increasingly more refined theoretical and computational models for describing multiple, simultaneous thermophysical effects. Motivated by this application, the present paper addresses heat and mass transfer in a chemically reacting laminar mixed convection flow from a vertical sheet with inducedmagnetic field. The governing equations of the flow are solved analytically using a perturbation technique. The influences of various established parameters on the flow, induced magnetic field, and heat and mass transfer are studied graphically in the present analysis. Finally, we also obtained expressions for shear stress, current density and Nusselt number, and discussed the results through tables
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
