A Toolbox for Building up Process-based, Macro-economic Material Flow Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the example of CarboMoG, the Carbon Flow Model of Germany, structures and processes for process-based, macro-economic material flow models were analyzed. The aim is to create a toolbox, which can be used to assemble models of this kind from building blocks, to parameterize and calculate a model, and then to use the model for analysis tasks. It was investigated whether and how toolkits existing in the fields of material flow analysis and life cycle assessment could also be used for process-based, macro-economic material flow models. Unfortunately, it was found that no product could be used without massive adaptations. Thus, the development of an own toolbox was initialized.

متن کاملStability Optimization of Functionally Graded Pipes Conveying Fluid
This paper presents an exact analytical model for optimizing stability of thin-walled, composite, functionally graded pipes conveying fluid. The critical flow velocity at which divergence occurs is maximized for a specified total structural mass in order to ensure the economic feasibility of the attained optimum designs. The composition of the material of construction is optimized by defining t...
متن کاملScaling and Fractal Concepts in Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity: Comparison of Some Models
Measurement of soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, is normally affected by flow patterns such as macro pore; however, most current techniques do not differentiate flow types, causing major problems in describing water and chemical flows within the soil matrix. This study compares eight models for scaling Ks and predicted matrix and macro pore Ks, using a database composed of 50 datasets...

متن کاملA Novel Toolbox for Generating Realistic Biological Cell Geometries for Electromagnetic Microdosimetry
Researchers in bioelectromagnetics often require realistic tissue, cellular and sub-cellular geometry models for their simulations. However, biological shapes are often extremely irregular, while conventional geometrical modeling tools on the market cannot meet the demand for fast and efficient construction of irregular geometries. We have designed a free, user-friendly tool in MATLAB that comb...
