Off-design performance analysis of a solar-powered organic Rankine cycle

Performance evaluation of a thermodynamic system under off-design conditions is very important for reliable and cost-effective operation. In this study, an off-design model of an organic Rankine cycle driven by solar energy is established with compound parabolic collector (CPC) to collect the solar radiation and thermal storage unit to achieve the continuous operation of the overall system. The...

An RFID Adoption Framework: A Container Supply Chain Analysis

While the benefits of RFID (radio frequency identification) in supply chains have had extensive press, publicised cases showing poor returns on investment and a relative lack of research into its adoption has left organisations feeling uncertain about the challenges to be managed when assessing RFID adoption. This qualitative study in the South African port community refines and extends an RFID...

Benefits Analysis - A Multi-purpose Assessment Approach

Benefits Analysis has evolved from roots in multi-criteria analysis, causal mapping and multi-methodology. It is a systematic method for formulating complex, multi-factor investment appraisal problems where non-financial benefits dominate the decision-makers value system. Such decision problems abound in military OR, particularly the management of equipment capability and research. Benefits Ana...
