Technoeconomic Modeling of Plant-Based Griffithsin Manufacturing

Thermochemical biorefinery based on dimethyl ether as intermediate: Technoeconomic assessment

Thermochemical biorefinery based on dimethyl ether (DME) as an intermediate is studied. DME is converted into methyl acetate, which can either be hydrogenated to ethanol or sold as a co-product. Considering this option together with a variety of technologies for syngas upgrading, 12 different process concepts are analyzed. The considered products are ethanol, methyl acetate, H2, DME and electri...

Behavioral study of piston manufacturing plant through stochastic models

Piston plays a vital role in almost all types of vehicles. The present study discusses the behavioral study of a piston manufacturing plant. Manufacturing plants are complex repairable systems and therefore, it is difficult to evaluate the performance of a piston manufacturing plant using stochastic models. The stochastic model is an efficient performance evaluator for repairable systems. In...

Reconfigurable Hardware-Based Simulation Modeling of Flexible Manufacturing Systems

Modeling manufacturing dependability

In this paper, an analytical approach for the availability evaluation of cellular manufacturing systems is presented, where a manufacturing system is considered operational as long as its production capacity requirements are satisfied. The advantage of the approach is that constructing a system level Markov chain (a complex task) is not required. A manufacturing system is decomposed into two su...
