Analytical expression for the exact curved surface area of a frustum of hemiellipsoid, through hypergeometric function approach

Our present investigation is motivated essentially by several interesting applications of generalized hypergeometric functions of one, two and more variables. The hypergeometric functions are potentially useful and have widespread applications related to the problems in the mathematical, physical, engineering and statistical sciences. In this article, we aim at obtaining the analytical expression (not previously found and recorded in the literature) for the exact curved surface area of a frustum of hemiellipsoid in terms of Appell's function of second kind and general triple hypergeometric series of Srivastava. The derivation is based on Mellin-Barnes type contour integral representations of generalized hypergeometric function$~_pF_q(z)$, Meijer's $G$-function and series manipulation technique. The closed form for the exact curved surface area of a frustum of hemiellipsoid is also verified numerically by using {\it Mathematica Program}.
