The purpose of this research is theoretical and numerical investigations on centrifugal compressor. A computer code has been developed to simulate single-zone and two-zone model, based on the revised formulation for real gas, using Peng-Robinson equations. Single-zone modeling, also known as meanline method, established based on 1-D equations of fluid dynamics considering ideal gas relations, empirical loss correlations, slip factors, impeller efficiency and no wake or separation regions. Considering usual significant separated regions in the gas path of impellers, two-zone (jet and wake zone) model has been developed to achieve a more reliable simulation by using fewer correlations based on... 

The Sudoku puzzle is played on a 9 × 9 grid which is divided into nine boxes each with 3 × 3 cells. Initially, some digits between 1 and 9 are given on the grid as the clues. Generalized Sudoku (a table of n2 by n2 that includes n2 blocks with n cells and in each of its rows, columns and blocks has all numbers from 1 to n2 appeared once and only once) can be considered too. Millions of people around the world are tackling one of the hardest problems in computer science without even knowing it. The first such puzzle appeared in the May 1979 edition of Dell P encil P uzzles and W ord Games and, according to research done by W ill Shortz, the crossword editor of the N ew Y ork T imes, was... 

On track to achieve heat transfer methods for small-scale, this research describes the design process of fabrication and experimental analysis of micro heat pipes with a rectangular section. First, the overview of micro-fluid systems and conventional mechanisms of heat transfer in these systems is discussed. Then, in order to describe the research theory and principles of heat pipe, various types of heat pipes micro scale and macro scaled are analyzed. After that, the method used for fabrication of a micro heat pipe without grooves is described. A new method for fabrication of MHP is investigated in this study. By using this method, one fiber glass board is fabricated by printed circuit... 

The predator – prey model is arises when the growing rate of one type decreased and the growing rate of another type increased. In this project, in chapters 2,3,4 and 5 we will describe the existence of periodic solutions for predator-prey systems and introduce some classical techniques for finding this solutions which the most important of them is the continuation theorem, for using this theorem we must find the open set Ω which by the conditions on Fredholm mapping L and the mappings Q , N we solve the equation Lx=Nx . In chapter 2 we study the periodic solutions of the below systemx2(k)






 

Since little attention has been given to multiattribute compared to multivariate control charts, this research is concerned with developing a new methodology to employ the multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) charts for multi-attribute processes. Moreover, since the variable sample size and sampling interval (VSSI) MEWMA charts detect small process mean-shifts faster than the traditional MEWMA, an economic design of VSSI MEWMA chart is proposed to obtain the optimum design parameters of the chart. The sample size, the sampling interval, and the warning/action limit coefficients are obtained using a genetic algorithm such that the expected total cost per hour is... 

This study investigates the bundle pricing strategy in which a seller offers both individual products and a bundle comprising one unit of each individual product. Moreover in order to motivate costumers, usually a discount is offered for the bundle option. This strategy is an important price discrimination tool for companies that serve customers with heterogeneous preferences and implementing it can maximize seller’s expected profits. In this study two mathematical programming models for the mixed bundle pricing problem are developed. The first model investigates the inventory and ordering decisions in this problem. In order to solve this model, a solution approach based on the benders...
