In the present study, erosion wear of a 90 o pipe bend has been investigated using the Computational fluid dynamics code FLUENT. Solid particles were tracked to evaluate the erosion rate along with k-ɛ turbulent model for continuous/fluid phase flow field. Spherical shaped sand particles of size 183 µm and 277 µm of density 2631 kg/m 3 are injected from the inlet surface at velocity ranging from 0.5 to 8 ms -1 at two different concentrations. By considering the interaction between solid-liquid, effect of velocity, particle size and concentration were studied. Erosion wear was increased exponential with velocity, particles size and concentrations. Predicted results with CFD have revealed well in agreement with experimental results. The magnitude and location of maximum erosion wear were more severe in bend rather than the straight pipe.
This paper presents the machine learning based machine translation system for Hindi to English, which learns the semantically correct corpus. The quantum neural based pattern recognizer is used to recognize and learn the pattern of corpus, using the information of part of speech of individual word in the corpus, like a human. The system performs the machine translation using its knowledge gained during the learning by inputting the pair of sentences of Devnagri-Hindi and English. To analyze the effectiveness of the proposed approach, 2600 sentences have been evaluated during simulation and evaluation. The accuracy achieved on BLEU score is 0.7502, on NIST score is 6.5773, on ROUGE-L score is 0.9233, and on METEOR score is 0.5456, which is significantly higher in comparison with Google Translation and Bing Translation for Hindi to English Machine Translation.
Background:
Clustering is one of the data mining tools which classify the raw data reasonably
into disjoint clusters. Researchers have developed many algorithms to cluster large data sets based
on specific parameters.
Objective:
This study is centered around the popular partitioning-based technique, i.e., k-means. It requires
the number of clusters to be generated as an input parameter; it does not provide a global solution
of the problem; and it is sensitive to outliers and initial seed selection.
Methods:
In this paper, authors have discussed threshold-based clustering method, single pass method,
which overcomes the above limitations but it requires a threshold value as an input parameter. Other researchers’
work related to k-means published in patent form is noteworthy and paving path for the researchers.
Results:
To assess the quality of clustering, numerous validity measures and indices have been assessed
on the Iris dataset for both k-means and threshold-based clustering algorithms. It has been observed
from the experiments that threshold-based method generates more separated and compact clusters, in
addition, there is significant improvement in the validity indices.
Conclusion:
Threshold-based clustering generates the clusters automatically which are not sensitive to
initial seeds selection and outlier; it is more scalable. It will inevitably be an efficient approach of partitioning
based clustering whenever one will select the threshold value carefully or will propose new
functions for deciding the value of threshold.
