[Conference-Full-text]The distance between the rotor and the ceiling wall is known to have a significant effect on the performance of ceiling fans, especially at a close proximity. A simplified ideal fluid flow model is developed to analyse ...
-
[Conference-Full-text]Traffic estimation is necessary in order to understand future scenarios of transport demand. Most regional traffic models that are presently available are those that have been calibrated in developed countries. They are ...
-
[Conference-Full-text]Computers are widely used in decision making in many financial institution. Decision Support System (DSS) concepts are generally used for this purpose. Recently new modeling techniques are introduced to enhance the Model ...
-
[Conference-Full-text]Aerodynamic tests of rigid bodies and structures are usually carried out in wind tunnels using scale-down models under controlled flow conditions. Presence of the tunnel walls causes the test conditions to deviate from the ...
-
[Conference-Full-text]Efficient utilisation of energy is considered to be one of the main tools of controlling the ever increasing demand for energy, especially in developing countries where there is a large potential for improvement. In recent ...
