Production planning in fish processing is heavily dependent on the raw material supply. Because of the uncertainties associated with the quantity of catch and its composition, planning for production is a difficult task. Until recently the fish processing plants in Iceland also had to accept the entire loads of fishing...
In the study of gas chromatography a model is presented to simulate
a capillary gas chromatographic system. The model was developed
to study the concentrations of sample gas as a function of time and
space as it travels through the capillary column. The molecular migration
was approximated by elementary diffusion...
A method of treating resonance captures for few energy group
calculations is developed using the Narrow Resonance-Infinite
Absorber approximation to the resonance integral. The application
of this method is not restricted to this approximation, however,
as other approximations to the resonance integral could also be
used.
The approach presented defines...
A numerical technique is presented for solving the gas dynamics
of a pulsating combustor. The computer solution which is developed
follows directly from the fundamental conservation laws applied to
discrete volumes rather than attempting either to finite difference the
resulting partial differential equations, or to apply the Method of Characteristics....
The focus of this research is to design and develop a microcomputer-based information management and production planning system for a discrete parts manufacturing facility. The information management module is based on relational database concepts. This information is used by the scheduling module to generate initial production schedules based on manufacturing...
For over a hundred years, analysts have been concerned with
the static and dynamic behavior of flexible cables. Hanging,
towing and mooring cables have been extensively examined but little
work has been done in the area of the anchor deployment problem. In
the anchor deployment problem, a mooring line is...
A theoretical study of the heat and momentum transfer resulting
from a flow of power plant condenser effluent discharged vertically to
shallow, quiescent coastal receiving water is presented. The complete
partial differential equations governing steady, incompressible, turbulent
flow driven by both initial momentum and buoyancy are solved
using finite-difference techniques...
