.Hot metal gas forming of tubes can be used in various industries such as automotive and aerospace industries. In this process tube is formed at elevated temperatures, by using gas instead of fluid pressure. Lower required pressure and low power are its advantages in comparison to hydroforming process. In this paper, a hot metal gas bulging process of an aluminum alloy tube has been investigate...

In this paper, we present the results of a study where a GDSS-approach was used for a SWOT-based strategy analysis of the Finnish forest industries. Forest industries belong to the basic, strategic industries in the world, and they have a great importance for the Finnish economy. This study is the first part of a research program that aims at finding visions and alternative strategies in the fi...

This paper examines the GHG emission of industrial process in Shenyang city, in the Liaoning province of China, using the 2006 IPCC greenhouse gas inventory guideline. Results show that the total GHG emissions of industrial process has increased, from 1.48 Mt in 2004 to 4.06 Mt in 2009, except for a little decrease in 2008. The cement industry, and iron and steel industries, are the main emissi...

abstractgiven the importance of the notion of efficiency in the country's economic growth, measuring the efficiency and the technology gap for various industries in order to achieve the best possible resource assignment, following the declared policy goals, is of particular importance for those countries, such as iran, which are now at the early stages of the industrialization process. hen...

Converting the mysterious mind process in to a most tangible, structured and understandable, process model is not only a great challenge of the day but also the need of the hour for many industries. Since 2005 the evolution of modern business industry has taken one step forward from business intelligence to business optimization. In the resent past all the business industries are in search of t...

Throughout the chemical and process industries, ever more emphasis is being placed upon extracting increasingly greater value from plant equipment, with substantial interest in energy efficiency and responsible environmental stewardship. Improved process control is almost unique in its ability to deliver substantial operational efficiency and environmental improvements with relatively little ad...

The potential of industrial wastewater reuse in Jordan is discussed. Industrial water requirements, wastewater production, types of pollutants in industrial wastewater and the technologies for wastewater treatment have been evaluated. A total of thirty industries have been reviewed. The total effluent from the thirty industries reviewed estimated at approximately 10,200 mVd. Of this amount, app...

The concentrations and removal efficiencies of various kinds of micropollutants were investigated and the relationships between the input sources of industrial wastewater and occurrence patterns of each micropollutant were identified at nine on-site industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The distribution pattern of each compound varied according to the WWTP type and several micropollut...

In a developing country like India, Small Scale Entrepreneurship plays a significant role in economic development of the country. These industries, by and large represent a stage in economic transition from traditional to modern technology after globalization. The variation in transitional nature of this process is reflected in the diversity of these industries. Most of the small scale industri...

This paper analyzes the modeling process by means of a eld study in the chemical industries. A diversi ed set of experienced modelers from two di erent countries have been interviewed using a case study approach. The interviews focussed on the modeling process. Other issues like life-cycle perspectives and the use of modeling in the process industries were treated as well. The information has b...
