Algorithm to Determine Flow Regimes, Transition Zones and Pressure Gradient of Two-Phase Pipe Flow[ ]


Existing two-phase phenomenological models for predicting pressure gradient in flowlines and risers are flow regime specific, and rely on pre-knowledge of flow regime. In practical two-phase pipe flow design, several flow regimes occur in typical flowlines and risers which require different flow regime and pressure gradient phenomenological models. Several exiting flow regime prediction methods employ switching between different models with discontinuous boundaries.

Development of New Powder Flux Lubrication Compound for Mild Steel Wire Drawing[ ]


Application of wax and other petroleum-based compounds as a wire drawing lubrication compound after a very long period is now discouraged due to its carcinogenic nature. There is need for alternative lubrication material. Hence, the development of petroleum-free lubrication material from an agro-waste as a base element with other additives was undertaken using simplex centroid mixture technique, the elements were characterized. Based on the investigated chemical characterization of the developed lubricant, increase in kernel fibre content increased the tensile strength, hardness and uniform wear of the drawn wires.

STUDY OF FILTERING TECHNIQUES FOR SALT AND PEPPER NOISE[ ]


Noise is a very common phenomenon that leads to the distortion of pixels in an image. It is a contribution of the sensors that captures the images. Various kinds of noise exist in the literature. SAP is a very common type of noise where random pixels values get converted to either to a minimum value, i.e., 0 or to a maximum value, i.e., 255 indicating a complete white (salt) or a complete black (pepper) pixel. The Median Filtering (MF) technique promises to be the most effective filtering technique to restore an image with salt and pepper noise. The effect is a blurry image even at low noise intensities.

EFFICACY OF BIOLOGICAL CONTROL ON HARMFUL INSECTS, INVASIVE PLANTS AND INTERACTION AMONG THEM[ ]


Our study was primarily focused on efficacy of biological control on insects, invasive plants and interaction among them. Biological control uses biological agents viz.predators, parasitoids and pathogens to suppress pest (insects and invasive plants) population. Ecofriendly, high benefit cost ratio, ameliorating the natural balance, self-perpetuating and permanent are the stepping stone for wide use of bio control. By compiling different literatures thoroughly we reviewed that, invasive plants compete with our native ecosystem resulting in the negative consequences of our native ecological niche. Insects belonging to family Chrysomelidae and Curculionidae were effective in controlling invasive plants through reduction in plant size,plant biomass and flower-seed production .

The real number system is not dense rather than it maintains gap theory[ ]


The statement that the real number system is dense is wrong. That is density property of real numbers is wrong. If we take two consecutive real numbers a,b then we can get a third real no (a+b)/2=c in between a,b . But we will get two gaps in between a,c and c,b. So we can say real numbers maintains gap theory instead of density property. Like this rational numbers also maintain gap theory, but natural numbers , whole numbers, integers maintains density property .
