This article is intended for investigating the effects of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and volume fraction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the flow and heat transfer in two lateral directions over a stretching sheet. For this purpose, three types of base fluids specifically water, ethylene glycol and engine oil with single and multi-walled carbon nanotubes are used in the analysis. The convective boundary condition in the presence of CNTs is presented first time and not been explored so far. The transformed nonlinear differential equations are solved by the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method with a shooting technique. The dimensionless velocity and shear stress are obtained in both directions. The dimensionless heat transfer is determined on the surface. Three different models of thermal conductivity are comparable for both CNTs and it is found that the Xue [1] model gives the best approach to guess the superb thermal conductivity in comparison with the Maxwell [2] and Hamilton and Crosser [3] models. And finally, another finding suggests the engine oil provides the highest skin friction and heat transfer rates. 相似文献
We prove the existence of a cyclic (4p, 4, 1)-BIBD—and hence, equivalently, that of a cyclic (4, 1)-GDD of type 4p—for any prime
such that (p–1)/6 has a prime factor q not greater than 19. This was known only for q=2, i.e., for
. In this case an explicit construction was given for
. Here, such an explicit construction is also realized for
.We also give a strong indication about the existence of a cyclic (4p 4, 1)-BIBD for any prime
, p>7. The existence is guaranteed for p>(2q3–3q2+1)2+3q2 where q is the least prime factor of (p–1)/6.Finally, we prove, giving explicit constructions, the existence of a cyclic (4, 1)-GDD of type 6p for any prime p>5 and the existence of a cyclic (4, 1)-GDD of type 8p for any prime
. The result on GDD's with group size 6 was already known but our proof is new and very easy.All the above results may be translated in terms of optimal optical orthogonal codes of weight four with =1. 相似文献
As in the earlier paper with this title, we consider a question of Byrnes concerning the minimal length of a polynomial with all coefficients in which has a zero of a given order at . In that paper we showed that for all and showed that the extremal polynomials for were those conjectured by Byrnes, but for that rather than . A polynomial with was exhibited for , but it was not shown there that this extremal was unique. Here we show that the extremal is unique. In the previous paper, we showed that is one of the 7 values or . Here we prove that without determining all extremal polynomials. We also make some progress toward determining . As in the previous paper, we use a combination of number theoretic ideas and combinatorial computation. The main point is that if is a primitive th root of unity where is a prime, then the condition that all coefficients of be in , together with the requirement that be divisible by puts severe restrictions on the possible values for the cyclotomic integer .
The in general hard problem of computing weight distributions of linear codes is considered for the special class of algebraic-geometric codes, defined by Goppa in the early eighties. Known results restrict to codes from elliptic curves. We obtain results for curves of higher genus by expressing the weight distributions in terms of -series. The results include general properties of weight distributions, a method to describe and compute weight distributions, and worked out examples for curves of genus two and three.
A Uniquely Decodable (UD) Code is a code such that any vector of the ambient space has a unique closest codeword. In this paper we begin a study of the structure of UD codes and identify perfect subcodes. In particular we determine all linear UD codes of covering radius 2. 相似文献
