A T-H Model for Residual Heat Removal System Reliability Analysis

Reliability analysis of a robotic system using hybridized technique

In this manuscript, the reliability of a robotic system has been analyzed using the available data (containing vagueness, uncertainty, etc). Quantification of involved uncertainties is done through data fuzzification using triangular fuzzy numbers with known spreads as suggested by system experts. With fuzzified data, if the existing fuzzy lambda–tau (FLT) technique is employed, then the comput...

Survival Analysis and Reliability A Note on theMean Residual Life Function of a Parallel System

One of the most important types of system structures is the parallel structure. In the present article, we propose a definition for the mean residual life function of a parallel system and obtain some of its properties. The proposed definition measures the mean residual life function of a parallel system consisting of n identical and independent components under the condition that n− i, i = 0 2...

Mathematical Modeling for Volatile Organic Compounds Removal in a Biofilter: Model Validation and Sensitivity Analysis

A fuzzy reliability model for series-parallel systems

Fuzzy set based methods have been proved to be effective in handling many types of uncertainties in different fields, including reliability engineering. This paper presents a new approach on fuzzy reliability, based on the use of beta type distribution as membership function. Considering experts' ideas and by asking operators linguistic variables, a rule base is designed to determine the level ...

In-containment Refueling Water Storage Tank (IRWST): In-containment passive long-term recirculation means Passive Residual Heat Removal (PRHR) utilizing Passive Residual Heat Removal Heat Exchanger (PRHR HX): Automatic Depressurization System (ADS): Internal IEs: Three major types of IEs

Safety of a nuclear power plant and its related systems are the first key issue to assure experts and the public of the safe operation of the plant. The AP1000 reactor is provided with passive safety systems which require no operator actions due to utilizing only natural forces such as gravity, natural circulation and compressed gas to achieve the safety function. In this paper the core damage ...
