    Performance Evaluation of Energy-aware Swarm Intelligence Based Routing Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Different Radio Models
    (International Journal of Computing, Communications and Networking, 2013-12-13) Adamu Murtala Zungeru; Enesi Asizehi Yahaya; Caroline Omoanatse Alenoghena
    A routing protocol is the nervous system of any computer network. In a network where hundreds or thousands of nodes are working simultaneously, the job of a routing protocol is to identify/discover one or more path connecting a pair of nodes under a given set of constraints. The prime requirement for a routing protocol is to optimize the network performance. On the other hand, ad hoc networks form a distinct category of networks whereby nodes are wirelessly connected to each other and may be in constant random motion. However, in ad hoc networks like sensor networks, the performance differs with different radio models. This paper present simulation results of the comparative investigation of the performance of swarm based routing protocols for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) based on different radio models using routing modeling application simulation environment (RMASE), an application built on a probabilistic wireless network simulator (PROWLER). Our simulation results indicate that the energy aware routing objectives of Termite-hill, Sensor driven and cost-aware ant routing (SC) and Improved Energy Efficient Ant Based routing (IEEABR) protocols increases the network lifetime for Normal Radio Model (NRM), Radio Model with Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (RMSINR) and Radio Model with Rayleigh Fading (RMRYF)

    Determination of the Wire size of a Three phase Squirrel cage Induction Motor with a Missing Nameplate
    (The Nigerian Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences (NJEAS), 2014-06-29) Enesi Asizehi Yahaya; Mark Nwohu; Ayo Imoru; Tola Omokhafe; Ambafi .G. James
    An empty stator of a squirrel cage induction motor rated at 220/380V, 50Hz with a missing nameplate and without winding has been lying down in a factory for so long and now the factory wants to use it for production purposes. This is a motor whose class protection degree is IP44, IP54 or IP55. This paper presents a method of determining the wire size (diameter) required to rewind the motor to its full rating power capacity. With motor nameplate and using National Electrical Code (NEC) and National Manufacturers Association (NEMA) specifications, the diameter of the wire can be determined. In the absence of the nameplate and the windings, the motor is difficult to rewind in order to obtain its desired characteristics. This can be achieved by the measurement of main dimensions of motor stator, using standard rating specifications, standard performance curves and analytical method.

    Air Gap Length and Maximum and Minimum Inductance of A Double-Salient Reluctance Machine (DSRM) using The Developed Analytical Algorithm
    (International Journal on Electrical Engineering and Informatics, 2022-03-12) Enesi Asizehi Yahaya; Ajah Victor; Emenike Chinedozi Ejiogu
    In this paper an algorithm is developed to predict the maximum and minimum inductance of an optimized pole arc of a fabricated double salient reluctance machine (DSRM). The developed analytical algorithm investigates the air gap length at the maximum and minimum inductances. These are achieved through the machine rotor pole arc, stator pole arc, bore diameter, back iron thickness, rotor yoke thickness, stack length, and rotor pole diameter. The validity of the newly developed analytical procedures for predicting the maximum and minimum inductances was evaluated using the measurements obtained from the machine prototype. There was a good correlation between the analytical and experimental results. Inductances and air gap lengths of 2/2 DSRM of equal stator and rotor pole width and stator pole width greater than the rotor pole width were investigated and analyzed using the developed algorithm. A second existing DSRM with different numbers of stator and rotor poles whose inductances have been known and compared with finite element analysis (FEA) is chosen to verify the algorithm developed. The 2/2 DSRM’s potential to sustain oscillation during energy conversion from mechanical energy to electrical energy is investigated
