The use of optimisation modelling for energy recovery investment decision making
(IEEE, 2019)
Investment decision making is a common occurrence
for any engineering company. These investments include any
possibility from relative inexpensive to extremely costly
equipment. When power generation turbine procurements ...
A methodology to determine best-suited waiting-time periods for turbine start-up under fluctuating resources
(IEEE, 2019)
— It is not uncommon for engineering process
plants to comprise energy recovery. When power generation
takes place under such circumstances, the nature of
interlinked processes may result in fluctuating resource
availability. ...
Computational cost of an exergy-based fault detection scheme implemented in a commercial process simulator
(Elsevier, 2019)
Energy-based fault detection and isolation (FDI) schemes show promise in terms of applicability to petrochemical industries and the broader process industries. Model-based FDI schemes offer pronounced advantages over more ...
Utilising fluctuating off-gases more efficiently in a power co-generation environment through less flaring
(IEEE, 2016)
Common engineering practice is to generate steam from burnable off-gases, in boiler houses, where excess steam is allocated for power generation after plant requirements are met. If the quantities or chemical composition ...
Implementing an optimisation model for turbine investment selection under fluctuating steam productions
(IEEE, 2016)
Engineering plants typically have a variety of interlinked production chains, where process flows are dependent on upstream or downstream events. Raw material feeds may fluctuate over time, resulting in fluctuating off-gas ...
A simulation strategy to optimize the design of internet enabled logistics services
(IEEE, 2014)
The emergence of advanced communication technology has created opportunities to improve transportation in supply chains across the globe. In this paper the main contributors to inefficiencies in present road transportation ...
Simulation of washability and liberation information from photographs
(Springer, 2016)
Imagine that a sample of coal could be crushed unlimited times to the same or different top size; a
different washability would be obtained for each crushing experiment. Depending on the size and
distribution of the raw ...
