In this paper, the physical parameters of the absorber pipe of a linear parabolic collector have been investigated. The types of solar collectors, specifically the linear parabolic collector, have been comprehensively studied. Then, the mathematical model of heat transfer in the absorber pipe of the collector has been presented based on valid references. Numerical solutions of the equations related to the absorber pipe were performed by MATLAB software, and the effects of the physical parameters of the absorber pipe on its efficiency were investigated. The results show that increasing the length of the absorber pipe causes a nonlinear decrease in the efficiency of the absorber pipe. One of the important results is the increase in fluid temperature due to the increase in the diameter of the adsorbent tube, which increases the diameter of the fluid temperature by 60 K, in which the parameter increases the efficiency by 0.38%.

This paper presents a mathematical model of multirobot cooperative hunting behavior. Multiple robots try to search for and surround a prey. When a robot detects a prey it forms a following team. When another “searching” robot detects the same prey, the robots form a new following team. Until four robots have detected the same prey, the prey disappears from the simulation and the robots return to searching for other prey. If a following team fails to be joined by another robot within a certain time limit the team is disbanded and the robots return to searching state. The mathematical model is formulated by a set of rate equations. The evolution of robot collective hunting behaviors represents the transition between different states of robots. The complex collective hunting behavior emerges through local interaction. The paper presents numerical solutions to normalized versions of the model equations and provides both a steady state and a collaboration ratio analysis. The value of the delay time is shown through mathematical modeling to be a strong factor in the performance of the system as well as the relative numbers of the searching robots and the prey.

Present research work has been undertaken to analyze the effects of Hall current on natural convective flow of radiative, incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting magneto-nanofluid over a uniformly accelerated moving vertical ramped temperature plate in a rotating medium. Three types of water based nanofluids containing the nanoparticles of alumina, copper and titanium oxide have been accounted. The mathematical model of the problem has been presented using the nanoparticle volume fraction model. The Laplace transform technique has been employed to solve the mathematical model. The closed-form expressions of nanofluid velocity, temperature, shear stress and rate of heat transfer at the plate have been obtained for both the conditions of ramped temperature and isothermal plates. The effects of various physical parameters on the nanofluid velocity due to primary and secondary flows and temperature have been exemplified using various graphs whereas, the numerical values of shear stress and rate of heat transfer at the plate have been reported in tabular form for different values of physical parameters of interest. Moreover, the numerical results have been compared for the natural convective flow near ramped temperature plate with the corresponding flow near isothermal plate. It has been noted that both the nanofluid velocity and temperature are higher in magnitude in the case of isothermal plate than that of ramped temperature plate. The results of present research work have been validated with the earlier published work.

Combined with the contents of the study-PSS low-pass link parameter identification. Least-squares method is selected. Using least-square method for PSS low-pass link mathematical model are also deduced. For the results, because of the mathematical model is solving nonlinear equations, cannot used by the Newton method directly. So we choose to use Newton iterations, with this feature, choose to use MATLAB software to solve the equation.

In this paper, we propose a meshless method for solving the mathematical model concerning the leakage problem when the pressure is tested in the gas pipeline. The method of radial basis function (RBF) can be used for solving partial differential equation by writing the solution in the form of linear combination of radius basis functions, that is, when integrating the definite conditions, one can find the combination coefficients and then the numerical solution. The leak problem is a kind of inverse problem that is focused by many engineers or mathematical researchers. The strength of the leak can find easily by the additional conditions and the numerical solutions.

Purpose This study aims to realize the constant force grinding of automobile wheel hub. Design/methodology/approach A force control strategy of backstepping + proportion integration differentiation (PID) is proposed. The grinding end effector is installed on the flange of the robot. The robot controls the position and posture of the grinding end actuator and the grinding end actuator controls the grinding force output. First, the modeling and analysis of the grinding end effector are carried out, and then the backstepping + PID method is adopted to control the grinding end effector to track the expected grinding force. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified by simulation and experiment. Findings The simulation and experimental results show that the backstepping + PID strategy can track the expected force quickly, and improve the dynamic response performance of the system and the quality of grinding and polishing of automobile wheel hub. Research limitations/implications The mathematical model is based on the pneumatic system and ideal gas, and ignores the influence of friction in the working process of the cylinder, so the mathematical model proposed in this study has certain limitations. A new control strategy is proposed, which is not only used to control the grinding force of automobile wheels, but also promotes the development of industrial control. Social implications The automatic constant force grinding of automobile wheel hub is realized, and the manpower is liberated. Originality/value First, the modeling and analysis of the grinding end effector are carried out, and then the backstepping + PID method is adopted to control the grinding end effector to track the expected grinding force. The nonlinear model of the system is controlled by backstepping method, and in the process, the linear system composed of errors is obtained, and then the linear system is controlled by PID to realize the combination of backstepping and PID control.

The condensing unit is one of the most important elements of the steam turbine of a combined heat and power plant. Defects in elements of the condensing unit lead to disturbances in the steam turbine operation, its failures and breakdowns, as well as efficiency losses of the plant. Therefore, the operating personnel need to know the cause of the malfunction and to correct it immediately. There are no diagnostic models of condensers in the Republic of Kazakhstan at the moment. In this regard, a mathematical model of a condenser based on the methodology of Kaluga Turbine Plant (KTP) has been developed. The mathematical model makes it possible to change the input parameters, plot dependency diagrams, and calculate the plant efficiency indicators. The mathematical model of the condenser can be used to research ways for the improvement of the condensing unit efficiency, for diagnostic purposes of the equipment condition, for the energy audit conduction of the plant, and in the training when performing virtual laboratory research. Using static data processing by linear regression method we obtain that the KTP methodology of condenser calculation is fair at cooling water temperature from 20 °C to 24 °C, but at cooling water temperature from 20 °C to 28 °C, the methodology of JSC "All-Russia Thermal Engineering Institute" (JSC "VTI") is used. One of the ways to increase the condenser efficiency has been proposed. It is the heat transfer augmentation with riffling annular grooves on tubes. This method increases the heat transfer coefficient by 2%, reduces the water subcooling of the heating steam by 0.9 °C, and decreases the cooling area by 2%.

Inclined uniform magnetic field and mixed convention effects on micropolar non-Newtonian nanofluid Al2O3 flow with heat transfer are studied. The heat source, both viscous and ohmic dissipation and temperature micropolarity properties are considered. We transformed our system of non-linear partial differential equations into ordinary equations by using suitable similarity transformations. These equations are solved by making use of Rung–Kutta–Merson method in a shooting and matching technique. The numerical solutions of the tangential velocity, microtation velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration are obtained as functions of the physical parameters of the problem. Moreover, we discussed the effects of these parameters on the numerical solutions and depicted graphically. It is obvious that these parameters control the fluid flow. It is noticed that the tangential velocity magnifies with an increase in the value of Darcy number. Meanwhile, the value of the tangential velocity reduces with the elevation in the value of the magnetic field parameter. On the other hand, the elevation in the value of Brownian motion parameter leads to a reduction in the value of fluid temperature. Furthermore, increasing in the value of heat source parameter makes an enhancement in the value of nanoparticles concentration. The current study has many accomplishments in several scientific areas like medical industry, medicine, and others. Therefore, it represents the depiction of gas or liquid motion over a surface. When particles are moving from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

Cilia on the surface of ciliated cells in the respiratory system are organelles that beat forward and backward to generate metachronal waves to propel mucus out of lungs. The layer that contains the cilia, coating the interior epithelial surface of the bronchi and bronchiolesis, is called the periciliary layer (PCL). With fluid nourishment, cilia can move efficiently. The fluid in this region is named the PCL fluid and is considered to be an incompressible, viscous, Newtonian fluid. We propose there to be a free boundary at the tips of cilia underlining a gas phase while the cilia are moving forward. The Brinkman equation on a macroscopic scale, in which bundles of cilia are considered rather than individuals, with the Stefan condition was used in the PCL to determine the velocity of the PCL fluid and the height/shape of the free boundary. Regarding the numerical methods, the boundary immobilization technique was applied to immobilize the moving boundaries using coordinate transformation (working with a fixed domain). A finite element method was employed to discretize the mathematical model and a finite difference approach was applied to the Stefan problem to determine the free interface. In this study, an effective stroke is assumed to start when the cilia make a 140∘ angle to the horizontal plane and the velocitiesof cilia increase until the cilia are perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Then, the velocities of the cilia decrease until the cilia make a 40∘ angle with the horizontal plane. From the numerical results, we can see that although the velocities of the cilia increase and then decrease, the free interface at the tips of the cilia continues increasing for the full forward phase. The numerical results are verified and compared with an exact solution and experimental data from the literature. Regarding the fixed boundary, the numerical results converge to the exact solution. Regarding the free interface, the numerical solutions were compared with the average height of the PCL in non-cystic fibrosis (CF) human tissues and were in excellent agreement. This research also proposes possible values of parameters in the mathematical model in order to determine the free interface. Applications of these fluid flows include animal hair, fibers and filter pads, and rice fields.

A conjugate conduction-convection analysis has been made for a vertical plate fin which exchanges heat with its fluid environment by natural convection. The analysis is based on a first-principles approach whereby the heat conduction equation for the fin is solved simultaneously with the conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy in the fluid boundary layer adjacent to the fin. The natural convection heat transfer coefficient is not specified in advance but is one of the results of the numerical solutions. For a wide range of operating conditions, the local heat transfer coefficients were found not to decrease monotonically in the flow direction, as is usual. Rather, the coefficient decreased at first, attained a minimum, and then increased with increasing downstream distance. This behavior was attributed to an enhanced buoyancy resulting from an increase in the wall-to-fluid temperature difference along the streamwise direction. To supplement the first-principles analysis, results were also obtained from a simple adaptation of the conventional fin model.
