A thermofluid network-based methodology for integrated simulation of heat transfer and combustion in a pulverized coal-fired furnace
Published 2021“…A need therefore exists for a computationally efficient model that captures the three-dimensional radiation effects, flue gas exit temperature profile, carbon burnout and O2 and CO2 concentrations, while integrated with the steam side process model for dynamic simulations. A thermofluid network-based methodology is proposed that combines the zonal method to model the radiation heat transfer in three dimensions with a one-dimensional burnout model for the heat generation, together with characteristic flow maps for the mass transfer. …”

Optimizing Rehabilitation and Maintenance of Hospitals
Published 2016“…HOREM model is consisted of five modules as follows, (1) Reliability Centered Maintenance module that was used to define the components, functions, functional failure, failure modes, failure consequence and maintenance type for subsystems components, (2) fuzzy logic system module for determining the probability of failure of different replacement/restoration intervals, (3) Monte-Carlo simulation module determining the probability of failure of different inspection intervals, (4) Multi-objective maintenance optimization module that tradeoff between the downtime and maintenance costs and (5) Systems Integration optimization module that optimize the top management maintenance budget on hospitals subsystems. …”
