abstract: in this paper, an exergy analysis approach is proposed for optimal design of distillation column by using simulated annealing algorithm. first, the simulation of a distillation column was performed by using the shortcut results and irreversibility in each tray was obtained. the area beneath the exergy loss profile was used as irreversibility index in the whole column. then, first opti...

The efficiency of the application a new technology for fir-tree slots treatment in turbine discs based on combination pre-slotting operations «house» by hydro-abrasive (HAT) and final broaching herringbone CNC machine comparison with milling, deep grinding EDM-ing methods is viewed. Problems arising within manufacturing operating broaches often cause down-time both types: main tool production. ...

The phenomenon of organizations offering service bundles can typically be observed in dynamic markets with heterogeneous customer demand. Available literature broaching the issue of service bundling covers strategic considerations for organizations related to their respective market position as well as their pricing options for different bundle configurations. However, little guidance can be fo...

a gas permeation model (coupling model) has been developed which has the flexibility to be used for different membrane module configurations. the aim of this work is to predict the performance of a single stage gas separation process using membranes and provide a comprehensive description of process parameters like flow rates, composition, stage cut and stream pressure. the significant feature ...

the present work reports and discusses the results of a 3d simulation of the injection molding process of a rubber compound that includes the mold flling stage and  material curing, using the computer code is developed in “udf” part of the fluent 6.3 cae software. the data obtained from a rheometer (mdr 2000) is used to characterize the rubber material in order to fnd the cure model parameters ...

present research involves the complete simulation of pultrusion manufacturing process of glass/polyester composites. for that purpose, the curing process is divided to two liquid and gel-solid phases. the physical characteristics of the resin consist of specific heat, viscosity and coefficient of heat transfer changes with variations of temperature and increasing the degree of curing process (α...
