Reducing contamination level is of primary importance for the safety and efficiency of a MOCVD process. Off-line fault identification is one of the basic tasks that must be performed in hazard analysis to identify potential operational problems. For illustration convenience, the scope of present study is limited to the purge-gas purifier of the process. A systematic step-by-step procedure is pr...

Backbone networks must be highly reliable. The offered availability can be predicted prior to operation if the stochastic behaviour of network components is known. The aim of this paper is provide information about failures and repairs processes in an operational network. Operational logs from UNINETT’s core network were analysed to obtain distributions of the time between failures and downtime...

The article analyzes the operational reliability of filter on gas turbine compressor intake and electric transformer connector. Empirical data (statistical sample) were collected to determine failure density function f (t), hazard λ expected value mean time MTTF. numerical model was created in Minitab 19 software tool. Anderson-Darling test used accept or reject hypothesis.

Abstract The utilisation of geothermal energy in the Netherlands is primarily focused on deep sedimentary aquifers, which are often intersected by major faults. Geothermal operations (i.e. fluid production and injection) may alter effective stress state along these faults trigger induced seismic events. Pore pressure perturbations have been generally considered main driver injection-induced sei...

the territory of serbia is vulnerable to various types of natural hazards and the risk is not equal across the entire territory; it varies depending on the type of hazard and the expected potential for damage. the first aim of this research was to determine the geographical distributions of the major types of natural hazards. seismic hazards, landslides, rock falls, floods, torrential floods...

Tires represent a critical spare part in mines. There is a shortage of medium and large tires. In addition, with increased mining activities and the creation of new mines, the demand for tires has increased significantly. Thus, it is particularly important for mining engineers to identify tire characteristics and correctly manage the spare part inventory. Spare parts management is critical from...

An integrated approach is presented for the assessment of forest fire hazard over a wide geographical area on the basis of real-time information, meteorological forecasts, and territorial data stored in a geographical information system. The paper describes the architecture of a comprehensive system that can be designed in order to manage the overall forest fire risk. Specifically, vegetation m...

in this paper, the ultraspherical operational matrices of derivatives are constructed. based on these operational matrices, two numerical algorithms are presented and analyzed for obtaining new approximate spectral solutions of a class of linear and nonlinear lane-emden type singular initial value problems. the basic idea behind the suggested algorithms is basically built on transforming the eq...

The present study was conducted to determine peak ground acceleration (PGA) over bedrock in probabilistic analysis methods for the seismic hazard and uniform hazard spectra at different hazard levels for Esfahan city. A series of statistics containing historical and instrumental seismic data covering from the 8th century A.D. to the now up to a radius of 200 km was employed and seismic sources ...
