Risk analysis of combustion system using vague ranking method

A new approach for vague risk analysis based on the ranking of trapezoidal vague sets is proposed. Firstly, a new method for ranking of vague sets is presented. Then, the proposed method is applied to developed a new method for dealing with vague risk analysis problems. This analysis helps us to find out the probability of failure of each components of combustion system, which could be used for managerial decision making and future system maintenance strategy. The proposed method provides a useful way for handling vague risk analysis problems.
