Heat transport analysis for non-Newtonian fluid flows between non-parallel wall channels has sustainable significance in high-performance thermal engineering processes. In recent years, this analysis is extensively used in numerous natural flows and industrial processes, for instance, blood flow through human veins, lubrication systems, automobile radiators, thermal pumps, and water purification processes, etc. Therefore, this research, it is targeted to enhance thermal performance with the addition of ultrafine metallic nanoparticles into working fluids. With this goal in mind, this research work presents a numerical investigation for buoyancy-driven flow of Carreau nanofluids confined in a vertical converging enclosure. In addition, heat and mass transport analysis with non-linear thermal radiation and activation energy are mathematically formulated via Buongiorno’s model. A new formulation is developed for purely radial flow inside this converging channel and appropriate non-dimensional variables are utilized for problem simplification. These transformed equations are then numerically tackled with the help of a versatile numerical method, bvp4c function in MATLAB. The simulated results are portrayed by virtue of nanofluid velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions with variation in governing dimensionless parameters. The results indicate that the velocity was significantly reduced with higher activation energy parameter. Moreover, the higher values of the Grashof number yields increasing conduct in velocity distributions.

This study aims to thoroughly investigate the axial power peaking factors (PPF) within the low-enriched uranium (LEU) core of the Ghana Research Reactor-1 (GHARR-1). This study uses advanced simulation tools, like the MCNPX code for analysing neutron behavior and the PARET/ANL code for understanding power variations, to get a clearer picture of the reactor’s performance. The analysis covers the initial six years of GHARR-1’s operation and includes projections for its whole 60-year lifespan. We closely observed the patterns of both the highest and average PPFs at 21 axial nodes, with measurements taken every ten years. The findings of this study reveal important patterns in power distribution within the core, which are essential for improving the safety regulations and fuel management techniques of the reactor. We provide a meticulous approach, extensive data, and an analysis of the findings, highlighting the significance of continuous monitoring and analysis for proactive management of nuclear reactors. The findings of this study not only enhance our comprehension of nuclear reactor safety but also carry significant ramifications for sustainable energy progress in Ghana and the wider global context. Nuclear engineering is essential in tackling global concerns, such as the demand for clean and dependable energy sources. Research on optimising nuclear reactors, particularly in terms of safety and efficiency, is crucial for the ongoing advancement and acceptance of nuclear energy.

The hierarchical organization and self-similarity in river basins have been topics of extensive research in hydrology and geomorphology starting with the pioneering work of Horton in 1945. Despite significant theoretical and applied advances, however, the mathematical origin of and relation among Horton's laws for different stream attributes remain unsettled. Here we capitalize on a recently developed theory of random self-similar trees to elucidate the origin of Horton's laws, Hack's laws, basin fractal dimensions, power-law distributions of link attributes, and power-law relations between distinct attributes. In particular, we introduce a one-parametric family of self-similar critical Tokunaga trees that includes the celebrated Shreve's random topology model and extends to trees that approximate the observed river networks with realistic exponents. The results offer tools to increase our understanding of landscape organization under different hydroclimatic forcings, and to extend scaling relationships useful for hydrologic prediction to resolutions higher than those observed.

This paper explores the dissipative fault detection filtering (FDF) issue for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) within a network environment, considering switching channels and random occurrence of packet losses. Specifically, a multi-channel transmission mechanism is adopted to enhance the reliability of the system, and the switching channel is orchestrated by a Markov chain. The random intermittent data dropouts in each channel between the system and FDF modeled as a Bernoulli process are considered. Leveraging the Lyapunov theory and slack matrix technique, switching-channel-dependent FDF is crafted to detect faults for USVs and ensure that the augmented system keeps stochastic stability while attaining a strictly dissipative performance. Finally, an illustrative example is presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method for USVs.
