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. ...
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. ...
Multi-objective optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems using PSO-simulation based approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Recently, the increasing energy demand has caused dramatic consumption of fossil fuels and unavoidable raising energy prices. Moreover, environmental effect of fossil fuel led to the need of using renewable energy (RE) to ...
Study on the impact of welding on the corrosion properties of AA 6061 T6
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Aluminium alloy 6061 T6 circular specimens were joined using TIG welding method. AlMg5 was used as filler. The corrosion behavior of welded and un-welded AA 6061 T6 was investigated using potentiodynamic and open circuit ...
Criticality measures for components with multi-dimensional degradation
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
Failures of engineering structures and equipment are often attributed to the failure of a single component. Hence, it is important to identify critical components in a system and understand how a component's criticality ...
Building thermal energy modeling with loss minimization
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The thermal losses in buildings are significant energy sinks. The Energy Semantic Network (ESN) is a new method for finding these losses at the design stage, as well as for the existing structures. The research purpose of ...
Application of Ni and Cu nanoparticles in transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding of Ti-6Al-4V and Mg-AZ31 alloys
(
Springer US
, 2014 , Article)
The transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding of Ti-6Al-4V alloy to a Mg-AZ31 alloy was performed using an electrodeposited Ni coating containing a dispersion of Ni and Cu nanoparticles. Bond formation was attributed to two ...
Optimal replacement last with continuous and discrete policies
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
This paper proposes age and periodic replacement last models with continuous, and discrete policies. That is, an operating unit is replaced preventively at time T of operation as a strategic policy, or at a number N of ...
Dry gas seal simulation with different spiral tapered grooves
(
UiTM Press
, 2014 , Article)
The flow and performance analysis for a dry gas seal (DGS) with a standard and tapered spiral grooves is developed using a verified FLUENT CFD model. A comprehensive analysis is proposed to resolve the effect of modifying ...
Synthesis and characterization of electrically conducting copolymers of poly(aniline-co-o-iodoaniline)
(
World Scientific Publishing Co.
, 2014 , Article)
Functionalized copolymers of poly(aniline-co-o-iodoaniline) have been synthesized by the chemical oxidative polymerization method by using o-iodoaniline (o-IA) and aniline (AN) as monomer units by changing their molar feed ...
