Optimization of reliability and maintenance of liquefaction system on FLNG terminals using Markov modelling
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to optimize system redundancy and maintenance intervals of a propane pre-cooled mixed refrigerant (C3MR) liquefaction process on floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) export platforms. ...
Greedy algorithms and metaheuristics for a multiple runway combined arrival-departure aircraft sequencing problem
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
This paper examines the Aircraft Sequencing Problem (ASP) over multiple runways, under mixed mode operations with the objective of minimizing the total weighted tardiness of aircraft landings and departures simultaneously. ...
On the optimal computing budget allocation problem for large scale simulation optimization
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Selecting a set that contains the best simulated systems is an important area of research. When the number of alternative systems is large, then it becomes impossible to simulate all alternatives, so one needs to relax the ...
Numerical investigation of steady air injection flow to control rotating stall in centrifugal compressors
(
Web Portal ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This paper concerns the role of air injection method in stabilization and stall control in centrifugal compressors. The main aim is to find the best arrangement of air injection parameters such as injection angle and ...
Collapse behavior of thin-walled corrugated tapered tubes under oblique impact
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Thin-walled structures are used in safety applications such as automotive vehicles and locomotives because of their efficient energy absorption, light weight, and reduced manufacturing cost. The performance of these ...
Dynamic aggregated building electricity load modeling and simulation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
In order to support the growing interest in demand response modeling and analysis, there is a need for physical-based building load models. This work presents a new approach for simulating electrical power flow in buildings. ...
Global reverse supply chain design for solid waste recycling under uncertainties and carbon emission constraint
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The emergence of concerns over environmental protection, resource conservation as well as the development of logistics operations and manufacturing technology has led several countries to implement formal collection and ...
A Robust Modification to the Universal Cavitation Algorithm in Journal Bearings
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
, 2016 , Article)
In the current study, a modified fast converging, mass-conserving, and robust algorithm is proposed for calculation of the pressure distribution of a cavitated axially grooved journal bearing based on the finite volume ...
Tidal power technology review with potential applications in Gulf Stream
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
With the increasing concern of global warming, the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions has been accepted worldwide. Realizing the contribution of conventional energy sources to greenhouse gas emissions and the ...
