Discussion of Cost Benefit Analysis

Economic Analysis of Implementing Respirator Program or Ventilation System in a Manufacturing Environment

The techniques and methods of developing cost models for respirators are discussed. Models are developed and implemented in this study for nineteen types of respirators in two major classes (air-purifying and supplied-air) and one LEV system. One respirator model is selected for detailed discussion from among the twenty models. The technical cost method is used in constructing the cost models f...

Cost- Benefit Analysis of Gas to Liquids Project for the South-Pars Gas Field of Iran

This paper presents an economic evaluation of gas to liquids (GTL) project using “South-Pars” gas field of Iran based on the latest actual performing GTL projects. Iran has the world’s largest reserves of natural gas and can satisfy the projected long-term market demand of GTL products which have lower pollution and higher quality than refinery products. The results of cost-benefit analysis sho...

Economic (Cost-Benefit) Analysis of Power Generation from Commercial Reinforced Concrete Solar Chimney Power Plant Built in the Desert Regions of Iran

This paper expands a model different from existing models to analyze the cost and benefit of areinforced concrete solar chimney power plant (RCSCPP) built in the desert regions of Iran.Based on the model and some assumptions for values of parameters, this paper calculates totalnet present value (TNPV) and the minimum electricity price in each phase by dividing the wholeservice period into four ...

A long-term cost-benefit analysis of national anti-desertification plans in Iran

     Desertification was recognized in Iran several decades ago. This phenomenon has gradually affected half the provinces in the country, where droughts exacerbate problems in these drylands. In response, the government has been active in providing considerable funds and human resources to halt desertification through investing in national research and executive projects over the last fifty ye...

Cost Benefit Analysis of Higher Education by Educated Women in Iran: The Tale of Self Fulfilling Prophecy and Low Labor Force Participation

Development of closed-loop supply chain mathematical model (cost-benefit-environmental effects) under uncertainty conditions by approach of genetic algorithm

In the current world, the debate on the reinstatement and reuse of consumer prod-ucts has become particularly important. Since the supply chain of the closed loop is not only a forward flow but also a reverse one; therefore, companies creating integ-rity between direct and reverse supply chain are successful. The purpose of this study is to develop a new mathematical model for closed loop suppl...
