Steady State Probabilities

The phenomena are balking can be said to have been observed when a customer who has arrived into queuing system decides not to join it. Reverse balking is a particular type of balking wherein the probability that a customer will balk goes down as the system size goes up and vice versa. Such behavior can be observed in investment firms (insurance company, Mutual Fund Company, banks etc.). As the number of customers in the firm goes up, it creates trust among potential investors. Fewer customers would like to balk as the number of customers goes up. In this paper, we develop an M/M/1/k queuing system with reverse balking. The steady-state probabilities of the model are obtained and closed forms of expression of a number of performance measures are derived.

Flow And Heat Transfer

This work presents a post-processing tool for the verification of steady-state fluid flow and heat transfer finite volume computations. It is based both on the generalized Richardson extrapolation and the Grid Convergence Index GCI. The observed order of accuracy and a error band where the grid independent solution is expected to be contained are estimated. The results corresponding to the following two and three-dimensional steady-state simulations are post-processed: a flow inside a cavity with moving top wall, an axisymmetric turbulent flow through a compressor valve, a premixed methane/air laminar flat flame on a perforated burner, and the heat transfer from an isothermal cylinder enclosed by a square duct. Discussion is carried out about the certainty of the estimators obtained with the post-processing procedure. They have been shown to be useful parameters in order to assess credibility and quality to the reported numerical solutions.

In many practical queuing situations reneging and balking can only occur if the number of customers in the system is greater than a certain threshold value. Therefore, in this paper we study a single server Markovian queuing model having customers’ impatience (balking and reneging) with threshold, and retention of reneging customers. The transient analysis of the model is performed by using probability generating function technique. The expressions for the mean and variance of the number of customers in the system are obtained and a numerical example is also provided. Further the steady-state solution of the model is obtained. Finally, some important queuing models are derived as the special cases of this model.

Steady State Performance

Starting with some mild assumptions on the parametrization of the service process, perturbation analysis (PA) estimates are obtained for stationary and ergodic single-server queues. Besides relaxing the stochastic assumptions, our approach solves some problems associated with the traditional regenerative approach taken in most of the previous work in this area. First, it avoids problems caused by perturbations interfering with the regenerative structure of the system. Second, given that the major interest is in steady-state performance measures, it examines directly the stationary version of the system, instead of considering performance measures expressed as Cesaro limits. Finally, it provides new estimators for general (possibly discontinuous) functions of the workload and other steady-state quantities.

This article utilizes perturbation method (PM) to find an analytical approximate solution for the Quasi-Steady-State Michaelis-Menten problem. From the comparison of Figures and absolute error values, between approximate and numerical solutions, it is shown that the obtained solutions are accurate, and therefore, they explain the general behaviour of the Michaelis-Menten mechanism.

Melting And Solidification

A nonlinear, first-order ordinary differential equation that involves Fourier-Bessel series terms has been derived to model the time-dependent motion of the solid-liquid interface during melting and solidification of a material with constant internal heat generation in cylindrical coordinates. The model is valid for all Stefan numbers. One of the primary applications of this problem is for a nuclear fuel rod during meltdown. The numerical solutions to this differential equation are compared to the solutions of a previously derived model that was based on the quasi-steady approximation, which is valid only for Stefan numbers less than one. The model presented in this paper contains exponentially decaying terms in the form of Fourier-Bessel series for the temperature gradients in both the solid and liquid phases. The agreement between the two models is excellent in the low Stefan number regime. For higher Stefan numbers, where the quasi-steady model is not accurate, the new model differs from the approximate model since it incorporates the time-dependent terms for small times, and as the system approaches steady-state, the curves converge. At higher Stefan numbers, the system approaches steady-state faster than for lower Stefan numbers. During the transient process for both melting and solidification, the temperature profiles become parabolic.

Inertial Regime

Granular flows occur in a wide range of situations of practical interest to industry, in our natural environment and in our everyday lives. This paper focuses on granular flow in the so-called inertial regime, when the rheology is independent of the very large particle stiffness. Such flows have been modelled with the $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}(I),\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}(I)$-rheology, which postulates that the bulk friction coefficient $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ (i.e. the ratio of the shear stress to the pressure) and the solids volume fraction $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$ are functions of the inertial number $I$ only. Although the $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}(I),\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}(I)$-rheology has been validated in steady state against both experiments and discrete particle simulations in several different geometries, it has recently been shown that this theory is mathematically ill-posed in time-dependent problems. As a direct result, computations using this rheology may blow up exponentially, with a growth rate that tends to infinity as the discretization length tends to zero, as explicitly demonstrated in this paper for the first time. Such catastrophic instability due to ill-posedness is a common issue when developing new mathematical models and implies that either some important physics is missing or the model has not been properly formulated. In this paper an alternative to the $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}(I),\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}(I)$-rheology that does not suffer from such defects is proposed. In the framework of compressible $I$-dependent rheology (CIDR), new constitutive laws for the inertial regime are introduced; these match the well-established $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}(I)$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}(I)$ relations in the steady-state limit and at the same time are well-posed for all deformations and all packing densities. Time-dependent numerical solutions of the resultant equations are performed to demonstrate that the new inertial CIDR model leads to numerical convergence towards physically realistic solutions that are supported by discrete element method simulations.

Unsteady Natural Convection

The problem of transient natural convection in a cavity of aspect ratio A < 1 driven by internal buoyancy sources and sinks distributed linearly in the horizontal and uniformly in the vertical is considered. Scaling analysis is used to show that a number of possible transient flow regions are possible, collapsing ultimately onto one of conductive, transitional, or convective steady-state flow regimes. A number of numerical solutions are obtained, and their relationships to the scaling analysis are discussed.
