Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to highlight the advantages of a simplified algorithm to solve the problem of heat and mass transfer in porous medium by reducing the number of partial differential equations from four to three.
Design/methodology/approach
The approach of the present paper is to develop a simplified algorithm to reduce the number of equations involved in conjugate heat transfer in porous medium.
Findings
Developed algorithm/method has many advantages over conventional method of solution for conjugate heat transfer in porous medium.
Research limitations/implications
The current work is applicable to conjugate heat transfer problem.
Practical implications
The developed algorithm is useful in reducing the number of equations to be solved, thus reducing the computational resources required.
Originality/value
Development of simplified algorithm and comparison with conventional method.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide a structural overview of speech recognition system for developing Quranic verse recitation recognition with tajweed checking rules function. This function has been introduced, due to support the existing and manual method of talaqqi and musyafahah method in Quranic learning process, which described as face-to-face learning process between students and teachers. Here, the process of listening, correction and repetition of the correct Al-Quran recitation took place in real-time condition. However, this method is believed to become less effective and unattractive to be implemented, especially towards the young Muslim generation who are more attracted to the latest technology.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper focuses on the development of software prototype, mainly for developing an automated Tajweed checking rules engine, purposely for Quranic learning. It has been implemented and tested towards the j-QAF students at primary school in Malaysia.
Findings
The paper provides empirical insight about the viability and implementation of Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) algorithm of feature extraction technique and hidden Markov model (HMM) classification for recognition part, with the results of recognition rate reached to 91.95 percent (ayates) and 86.41 percent (phonemes), after been tested on sourate Al-Fatihah.
Originality/value
Based on the result, proved that the engine has a potential to be used as an educational tool, which helps the students read Al-Quran better, even without the presence of teachers (Mudarris)/parents to monitor them. Automated system with Tajweed checking rules capability functions could be another alternative due to support the existing method of manual skills of Quranic learning process, without denying the main role of teachers in teaching Al-Quran.

This paper aims to investigate the heat transfer in porous channels.
Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the heat transfer in porous channels.
Design/methodology/approach
Finite element method is used to simulate the heat transfer in porous channels.
Findings
The number and width of channels play a key role in determining the heat transfer of the porous channel. The heat transfer is higher around the channel legs. Smaller base height is better to get higher heat transfer capability.
Originality/value
This study represents the original work to investigate heat transfer in a porous domain having multiple channels.
