Reliable transport protocols such as the transmission control protocol (TCP) are tuned to perform well in traditional wireline networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. However, networks with wireless ...

In this communication, an attempt has been made to obtain an analytical expression for the retention period of a given capacity biogas plant. It has been shown that the use of solar energy reduces the retention period. The ...

Teletraffic modelling of users is crucial for cellular system layout and planning, and to evaluate tradeoffs in system design issues. In order to be useful, the model should capture mobility under the most generalized ...

In this paper we develop models that incorporate general mobility patterns that are induced by the cell topography (e.g., road layout, street orientation, density of intersections). In particular, we study the effect of ...

We propose a dynamic handoff algorithm that, as compared to the static algorithm, yields a reduced number of unnecessary handoffs while maintaining the quality of service constraints in a cellular mobile system. The fraction ...

Some investigations have been carried on an old ESP unit to determine dust collection efficiencies and effective migration velocities after incorporating microprocessor based intermittent charging and rapping systems. The ...

The temperature distribution inside an insulating wall fixed between the adjacent electrodes in an MHD channel has been estimated across the direction of flow of plasma inside the channel. It has been shown that sharp ...

Losses in an MHD generator not only reduce the power output but also degrade it. The losses due to heat, friction and leakage through insulating-wall/slag have been analyzed for the diagonal generator for better control ...

A mathematical model for the channel analysis of MHD generators based on nonlinear fluid dynamics and Maxwell's equations has been presented. The fluid properties of the seeded combustion products of coal burnt with oxygen ...

A small-scale hybridized solar PV-AC grid (HSPVACG) power system has been developed to operate along with AC grid. This system consists of a photovoltaic, array installed on the rooftop, a hybrid power controller (HPC) and ...
