Determination of Optimum Nominal Aggregate Size for Single Surface Dressings

Optimum Aggregate Inventory for Scheduling Multi-product Single Machine System with Zero Setup Time

In this paper we adopt the common cycle approach to economic lot scheduling problem and minimize the maximum aggregate inventory. We allow the occurrence of the idle times between any two consecutive products and consider limited capital for investment in inventory. We assume the setup times are negligible. To achieve the optimal investment in inventory we first find the idle times which minimi...

Considerations for determination of the optimum size of farms in irrigated agriculture

determination of optimum size for rice farms in guilan province

abstract the production unit size is one of the effective factors in optimum uses of inputs. since optimum size is affected by the characters and economical conditions in each district, the studies for determining the optimum farm size should be done specially for each crop and each district. in this study tried to determine the optimum rice farm size in guilan province which is one of the most...

On-line determination of aggregate size and morphology in suspensions

Information about the aggregation state of fine particles is an important element for process control, product quality monitoring and fundamental understanding in many cases of industrial slurries. W hen aggregates are small or fragile objects, their w ithdraw al is difficult and off-line characterization may be a source of error. This w ork deals w ith the application of different in line meth...

Effects of Nominal Maximum Aggregate Size on the Performance of Stone Matrix Asphalt

It is well known that the performance of hot mix asphalt (HMA) in service life is closely related to a proper aggregate gradation. A laboratory study was conducted to investigate the effects of nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS) on the performance of stone matrix asphalt (SMA). The volumetric characteristics and performance properties obtained from wheel tracking tests, permeability test, be...
