The chromatic number of a commutative groupoid
W.B. Vasantha* and K. Paramasivam
Abstract: In this paper, we study the coloring problem of a commutative groupoid and define the chromatic number of a commutative groupoid. We construct a class of commutative groupoids using the set of all integers modulo n, on which different closed binary nonassociative operations are defined and we prove the following results:
1. For n = 2m, the chromatic number of the commutative groupoid Zn is m.
2. For n = p2, the chromatic number of the commutative groupoid Zn is p.
3. For n = pq, where p,q are primes such that 2<p<q, the chromatic number of the commutative groupoid Zn is p.
Key words: Commutative groupoid, coloring, chromatic number.

Hema C. Surati and M. G. Timol
Abstract: Using group theoretic technique, the similarity solution for two-dimensional jet flow of viscous incompressible fluids to derived. The similarity equations governing the flow is non-linear boundary value problem (BVP) with homogeneous boundary conditions is further transform to BVP with non homogeneous boundary conditions and finally whole BVP is transformed into initial value problem (IVP). Simple Taylor's series method is used to solve IVP. It is observed that velocity of set increase with similarity independent variable.

Study of blood flow through a stenosed capillary using Casson's fluid model
S.U. SIDDIQUI and SAPNA
Abstract: The Problem of blood flow through a capillary with axially non-symmetric but radially symmetric stenosis at some distance from the entry with mild local narrowing has been studied by characterizing blood as Casson's fluid model. The effect of shape of stenosis (m) on physiological characteristics of blood flow has been investigated. The variation of resistance to flow and apparent viscosity with shape parameter (m), stenosis size (d/Ro), stenosis length (Lo/L), and yield stress (to) has been shown graphically. It has been found that the resistance to flow (l) decreases as the shape of stenosis (m) changes (stenosis shape parameter m increases) and the maximum resistance attained in the case of symmetric stenosis (m = 2). Resistance to flow decreases as stenosis grows for increasing shape parameter. It is seen that apparent viscosity decreases as stenosis shape parameter (m) increases, and apparent viscosity increases as length of stenosis increases. It is also observed that as shape parameter increases apparent viscosity decreases . It is of interest to note that apparent viscosity decreases as the stenosis grows and as yield stress increases apparent viscosity decreases for the shape of stenosis (m = 3). This analysis incorporates a more realistic representation for blood flow in small diameter tubes.

A General Principle for Mann Iteration
Anil Rajput and S. K. Malhotra*
Abstract: Let E be a closed convex subset of a Metric Space X T a selfmap of E, A a lower Triangular Matrix. The general Mann Iteration of  T are defined by
x0 = v
E, xn+1 = Tvn ,


we prove that, If A is equivalent to convergence, {xn} converges, and T satisfies a generic type condition, then {xn} converges to a fixed point of T. A similar theorem is proved for a pair of self maps. A number of theorems in the literature are special cases of these results.


Steady three-dimensional flow and heat trasfer along an infinite hot vertical porous surface in the presence of heat source, uniform free stream and periodic suction
P. R. Sharma, Indu Gupta and M. K. Sharma*
Abstract: Steady three-dimensional laminar flow and heat transfer of an incompressible fluid along an infinite hot vertical porous surface in the presence of heat source, uniform free stream and sinusoidal suction velocity is investigated. The governing equations of motion and energy are solved by using perturbation technique. The velocity components, pressure distribution and temperature distribution are derived. The mean and main velocity components and temperature fields are shown through graphs. The expressions of skin - friction coefficients along X*- and Z*- axes and Nusselt number at the surface are derived, discussed and their numerical values for various values of physical parameters are presented through Tables.


Steady blood flow through a narrow exponentially diverging tube with magnetic effect
V. P. RATHOD and G. G. RAJPUT
Abstract: The problem of steady blood flow in the presence of transverse magnetic field through a narrow exponentially diverging tube is considered. The solution to this problem has been obtained in Bessel - Fourier series form. The velocity profiles are drawn for different values of Hartman number A, couple stress parameter and diverging parameter y1. It is of interest to note that as the magnetic effect is increased the velocity of the blood is decreased. Thus, by deaccelerating the velocity certain cardiovascular diseases and diseases related to accelerated blood circulation like hypertension can be treated by the application of magnetic field.
Key words: diverging tube, blood flow, velocity profile, Hartman number, couple stress.

Hema C. Surati and M. G. Timol
Abstract: The similarity transformations for the Heat Conduction equation are investigated used in Group theoretic method. The entire theory has been presented in a simple manner so that, it could be beneficial to the Engineering specialists. The special group of transformations likes scaling, translation and the spiral group of transformations is used to investigate proper similarity transformations to transform partial differential equation governing the Heat Conduction Equation into Similarity Equation, which is ordinary differential equation. Finally, a more general new group of transformation is proposed which includes the earlier group transformations as its special cases.


Free convection of an elastico-viscous fluid confined between two vertical wavy walls
RITA CHOUDHURY, HEMENDRA SARMA* and ALOK DAS**
Abstract: The flow of an elastico-viscous fluid in porous medium confined between two long vertical wavy walls has been studied in this paper. The wave length of the wavy walls is assumed to be large with amplitudes of two wavy walls being different. Regular perturbation technique is used to solve the problem where perturbation parameter is inversely proportional to the wave length. The analytic expression for dimensionless shearing stress at both the walls has been obtained and numerically worked out for different values of the parameters involved in the solution.

A study of nutritional transport in pulsatile blood flows through time dependent stenotic tube
P.N. TANDON, REKHA BALI, S.U. SIDDIQUI and A.K. SHUKLA
Abstract: Representing blood by couple stress fluid and introducing m 1d symmetric stenosis in a small diameter tube, a study of nutritional transport has been made in this paper. The governing equations have been solved by a Picard’s type iterative procedure. Variations of the local concentration with various parameters involved in the analysis has been presented through graphs and discussed. It has been observed that the rheological parameters of the fluid model representing concentration and shape and size of suspended microstructures dominate the nutritional transport. In the stenotic region, the diffusional process hinders owing to the closure of pores and this, in turn, prevents proper nutritional supply to the cells in the deeper region in the tissue.

Power series collocation methods of several orders for initial value problems
J. O. Fatokun
Abstract: This paper concerns the derivation of some Multistep methods for solving initial value problems. Earlier reports by P. Onumanyi et al.9 and Awoyemi D.O.2, show that collocation methods are derived through the use of canonical polynomials.
In this paper, power series is used as the approximation to the solution of the general first order initial value problem y' = f(x, y); y(a) = a..
For every k-step method derived, it turns out to be of order k+1. This report presents cases of k=1, 2, 3, and 4. The order, error constants, convergence and stability properties are examined for each method.
Key words: Collocation methods, Initial Value Problems Power Series, Convergence and Stability.
