‏‎the main purpose of this research was to:1.develop a coking model for thermal cracking of naphtha.2.study coke inhibition methods using different coke inhibitors.developing a coking model in naphtha cracking reactors requires a suitable model of the thermal cracking reactor based on a reliable kinetic model.to obtain reliable results all these models shall be solved simultaneously.for this pu...

Efficiency Performance of Manufacturing Companies in Kenya: Evaluation and Policies

The objective of this paper is to determine the efficiency of manufacturing companies in Kenya over the period of 2009 to 2011 as well as suggesting appropriate policies to be employed by the manufacturing companies in Kenya based on the findings of the study. Three critical inputs variables (raw materials, staff expenses and plant and machinery) and two output variables (net sale and earnings ...

Determinants of technical efficiency in beef cattle production in Kenya: application of the Tobit method

Technical Efficiency in Electricity Generation Sector of Pakistan -- The impact of Private and Public Ownership

This paper conducts a comparative technical efficiency analysis of 21 electricity generation plants (12 private and 9 public) using panel data of 6 years (1998-2003), and two stat-of–the art methodologies: Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The results show a mixed technical and scale efficiency scores for the public and private generation plants. There are ...

Efficiency of Inhomogeneous Thermoelectric Generators

We revisit the classical problem of the efficiency of inhomogeneous thermoelectric generators. The effects of different physical parameters on the efficiency of a generator are studied by solving the Domenicali’s equation numerically. It is found that the efficiency of a thermoelectric generator is insensitive to both the electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity. However, the efficiency ...
