Abstract:

A simple graph \(G=(V,E)\) admits an \(H\)-covering if every edge in the edge set \(E(G)\) belongs to at least one subgraph of \(G\) isomorphic to a given graph \(H\). A graph \(G\) having an \(H\)-covering is called \((a,d)-H\)-antimagic if the function \(h:V(G)\cup E(G) \to \{1,2,\dots, |V(G)|+|E(G)| \}\) defines a bijective map such that, for all subgraphs \(H’\) of \(G\) isomorphic to \(H\), the sums of labels of all vertices and edges belonging to \(H’\) constitute an arithmetic progression with the initial term \(a\) and the common difference \(d.\) Such a graph is named as super \((a,d)-H\)-antimagic if \(h(V(G))= \{ 1,2,3,\dots,|V(G)|\}\). For \(d=0\), the super \((a,d)-H\)-antimagic graph is called \(H\)-supermagic. In the present paper, we study the existence of super \((a,d)\)-cycle-antimagic labelings of ladder graphs for certain differences \(d\)

Abstract:

This paper presents the effect of different fillers on tracking length of electrical insulators. Insulator samples were prepared using polyester resin-c and were tested according to ASTM D2302. A standard test known as “Inclined plane test” is used to test the insulators after the application of high stresses. Track length of each sample is measured using a Polari scope. Track length of filler added insulators is compared to the insulator without filler and a significant change was noted among them.

Abstract:

In this paper, finite difference method is used to study the combined effects of thermal radiation, inclined magnetic field and temperature-dependent internal heat generation on unsteady two-dimensional flow and heat transfer analysis of dissipative Casson-Carreau nanofluid over a stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium. In the study, kerosene is used as the base fluid which is embedded with the silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles. Also, effects of other pertinent parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the Casson-Carreau nanofluids are investigated and discussed. From the results, it is established that the temperature field and the thermal boundary layers of Ag-Kerosene nanofluid are highly effective when compared with the Cu-Kerosene nanofluid. Heat transfer rate is enhanced by increasing power-law index and unsteadiness parameter. Skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number can be reduced by magnetic field parameter and they can be enhanced by increasing the aligned angle. Friction factor is depreciated and the rate of heat transfer increases by increasing the Weissenberg number. A very good agreement is established between the results of the present study and the previous results. The present analysis can help in expanding the understanding of the thermo-fluidic behaviour of the Casson-Carreau nanofluid over a stretching sheet.

Abstract:

The concept of vague graph was introduced early by Ramakrishna and substantial graph parameters on vague graphs were proposed such graph coloring, connectivity, dominating set, independent set, total dominating number and independent dominating number. In this paper, we introduce the concept of the dominator coloring and total dominator coloring of a vague graph and establish mathematical modelling for these problems.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the rotor and stator faults of synchronous and asynchronous machine. We studied major and minor faults and failures in synchronous and asynchronous machines (SAASMs) to avoid excessive downtime, maintaining quality of service, and minimum revenue losses to smart grid (SG) operators and planners. Further, faults detection, faults diagnosis, major causes of faults, and fault remedial measures are discussed with state-of-the-art work for: (a) transformers, (b) stator, and (c) rotor. Our work presents detailed taxonomy of rotor and stator faults, electrical and mechanical stress, and faults diagnosis schemes for stable SG operation. We believe that our research contribution is more versatile covering every aspect of SAASMs faults and failures, compared to prior works.
