Karachi, Pakistan's largest cosmopolitan and home to over 21 million people, finds itself unable to fulfill the various public utility needs including basic amenities like water. Access to clean drinking water remains the greatest perceived need of the population (City District Government Karachi, 2007), a deficiency further hampered by the population size of the metropolis. Just three-fifths of the total number of households is connected to the Karachi Water & Sewerage Board (KWSB) supply line, and those connected received daily, only four hours of continuous water supply on average. In order to implement projects that increase water coverage and improve water supply services in a sustainable way, implementation of a cost recovery system is necessary, and for that it is important to examine willingness to pay of the beneficiaries of improved water supply. The objective of this study is to examine the determinants of the willingness to pay (WTP) of water consumers and to find out whether it is possible to increase tariffs. This study uses a contingent valuation method to estimate the mean willingness to pay using double bound dichotomous choice bidding. The total number of households surveyed through in-person interviews is 400. The households were randomly selected from Block 4 and Block 7 of Gulshan-e-Iqbal Town in Karachi. Estimation using interval data model reveal that sampled households expressed their WTP with a mean WTP of Rs. 2244 and Rs. 2080/ month for each model respectively. It also shows income affects the respondent's willingness to pay. The descriptive analysis result reveals that the mean WTP for improved water services is higher than the existing tariff

القصة القرآنية: قصة في سورة الكهف (أنموذجا)

Islam's entrance into the world created another part in human advancement and altered course of the history. Islamic Culture was progressively overwhelmed on the history and development in light of showing Quran, truth be told, heavenly Quran has impacted all social illicit relationships and individuals' lives. The part of Quran in history and its impacts on societies and social orders particularly, on workmanship which can be viewed as a critical achievement of human progress. Spread of Islam religion and the development of Islamic craftsmanship caused a sort of religious meeting and social association with be set up between various kinds of expressions particularly, music and Islamic customs. By and large, this paper features the interconnection between Islamic practices and story. This article demonstrates that there are different types of stories in Quran which have been produced by Islamic culture identifying with the Quran.

Numerical Simulation of Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Analysis Through Annular Sector Duct

Present work is aimed at designing, implementing and validating computational procedure for the fluid flow and heat transfer analysis through the annular sector duct. This work will provide the complete heat transfer analysis and will be useful in developing an understanding of controlling parameter characterizing the configuration of annular sector duct. Chapter 1 is devoted to introduction and literature review, whereas, in chapter 2, we have selected a literature problem and discretised that by using two well known techniques finite difference method, (FDM) and finite volume method, (FV M). By comparing the results obtained from both procedures with the literature, we have selected one procedure for further mathematical models of the dissertation. In the chapter 3, we have carried out the study of forced convective Newtonian fluid flow, by considering the two different cases. In the 1st case, we have studied the forced convective flow of Newtonian fluid under the influence of uniform transverse magnetic field, applied perpendicular to the direction of flow. In the 2nd case, we have studied the influence of uniform transverse magnetic field on electrically conducting Newtonian fluid flow through annulus sector duct, filled with Darcy Brinkman porous media. As most of the fluids in nature are non-Newtonian, therefore, to make our model more realistic, we have replaced the Newtonian fluid with the power law fluid. In the chapter 4, we have carried out the study of forced convective power law fluid flow, by considering the four different cases. In the 1st case, we have studied the impact of flow behaviour index, n, on the forced convective flow in both pseudo-plastic and dilatant fluids. In the 2nd case, we have carried out the influence of magnetic field on electrically conducting power law fluid. We have studied the impact of n in both fluids for different value of Ha. In both cases, successive over relaxation, (SOR), method is used to solve the system of algebraic equations, obtained by using the FV M. In the 3rd and 4th cases, we have studied the impact of porosity factor, K, on forced convective flow of power law fluid through an annular sector duct, filled with Darcy Brinkman porous media in the absence and presence of uniform transverse magnetic field. In both cases, we have used the strongly implicit procedure, (SIP), to solve the system of algebraic equation, and compared with SOR method on the based of convergence. To achieve further enhancement in the heat transfer rate, addition of nano scale particles to the base fluid is an established research methodology now a days. Therefore, in chapter 5, we have studied the impact the nano scale particles on the forced convective flow of power law fluid by considering two different cases. Two types of nano scale particle (i.e Copper, Cu and Titanium oxide, TiO2) are used. Finally to make the dissertation wholesome, in chapter 6, we have studied the combined effect of viscous dissipation and Joule heating on the forced convective flow of power law fluid in absence and presence of nano scale particles. At the end of dissertation, we give brief of the future work.
