In this chapter, we investigated the effect of geometric parameters of the nozzle orifice on cavitating flow and entropy production in a diesel injector. Firstly, we analyzed the effect of some parameters of diesel injector such as the nozzle length and the lip rounding on cavitating flow. In the second parts, we studied the entropy production insid…
The study of the nature of knowledge and philosophical traditions is the foundation of the ancient Indian education system, which aims to enable human life not only to improve personal economic conditions, but also to improve the social, moral, and spiritual aspects of life. People are not only concerned about improving human life, but also realizin…
This study was conducted to first determine the nutritional potential and the antioxidant activity of black plum fruit pulp and peel. For these characterizations, classic methods were used. The results indicated high fibre and ash contents of black plum from all localities studied, ranging, respectively, from 34.79 ± 0.07-39.83 ± 1.85% and 4.9…
Pigeon pea is one of the most important leguminous crop globally. However it is a neglected pulse crops in South Africa in terms of research and production. Most farmers grow local landraces with low yields and there is lack of diverse material. The objective of the study was to determine the presence of genetic diversity among the pigeon pea genoty…
Optimization algorithms have been one of the most important research topics in Computational Intelligence Community. They are widely utilized mathematical functions that solve optimization problems in a variety of purposes via the maximization or minimization of a function. The swarm intelligence (SI) optimization algorithms are an active branch of …
The study was undertaken to assess indigenous breeding practices and structure of back-yard goat farming in humid tropical forest zone. Pretested questionnaires and interview schedules were used to collect information from farmers in Ekiti, South-west Nigeria. Profile assessed were purpose, management, breeding and reproductive performances, disease…
The secondary effect discovery of synthetic sorbents opened another research direction for many field of studies. However, the sorption parameters of lignocellulosic sorbents are rarely reported most importantly, kenaf shive. This paper centered at the sorption behavior of optimized kenaf shive sorbents using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) via s…
The posterior ethmoidal artery is a collateral of the ophthalmic artery and participates in the vascularization of the nasal cavities. It is an important landmark in endonasal surgery with complex orbital contents relationships. We recognize many anatomical and functional varieties. This chapter proposes to present a classic descriptive anatomical s…
This chapter describes the process of identifying a power generation system. This is important because in principle the system parameters as a whole are not linear and uncertain. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out an identification process using an experimental approach that is able to represent the system as a whole. The technique used i…
