INCREASING THE RELIABILITY OF HEATING SYSTEMS

Increasing the Reliability of Reliability Diagrams

The reliability diagram is a common diagnostic graph used to summarise and evaluate probabilistic forecasts. Its strengths lie in the ease with which it is produced and the transparency of its definition. While visually appealing, major long noted shortcomings lie in the difficulty of interpreting the graph visually; for the most part, ambiguities arise from variation in the distribution of for...

Investigating the effect of hot water consumption profile on the performance of solar water heating systems

In this paper, a forced circulation solar water heater system is simulated for different hot water consumption profiles using flat plate collectors as well as evacuated tube collectors. The profiles studied are the actual samples of hot water consumption profiles for different commercial centers and institutions. Dynamic simulation outputs of system thermal performance are used as economic anal...

Increasing Reliability of Communication in Large Scale Distributed Systems

This paper discusses the problem of reliable communication in large scale networks. More precisely, we describe the problem of non-transitive communication in a large scale distributed system due to link failure which leads to partial partitions. A deenition for partial partition in contrast to a total partition is given. The solution to mask these partial partitions and as a consequence provid...

An Evaluation of the Systems Reliability Using Fuzzy Lifetime Distribution

INCReasINg Of RelIabIlITy Of CONveRTeR

During the last century the steel industry was influenced by several crises which invoked strong innovation activities in development of new classes of steels. innovation was based on the statement of representative of automotive industry bernhard rolinson who said: “Steel has a long tradition but despite of this its potential from the point of view of material properties is exploited only to 2...
