supply chain management as a vital challenge to the cement industry and developing infrastructure as a whole has been posed by scholars. this research is an attempt to investigate larg supply chain management as a comprehensive approach to consider simultaneously four basic relevant strategies namely lean, agile, resilience and green. using a survey methodology and gathering data from twenty on...

In this study the feasibility of using the artificial neural networks modeling in predicting the effect of MWCNT on amount of cement hydration products and improving the quality of cement hydration products microstructures of cement paste was investigated. To determine the amount of cement hydration products thermogravimetric analysis was used. Two critical parameters of TGA test are PHP(loss) ...

Abstract In this work, the impact of cone diameters on flow field and separation efficiency in a cyclone separator is examined numerically employing Reynolds Stress Model for eight various geometries separators. The motion solid particle modelled utilizing Eulerian-Lagrangian method. Three-dimensional simulation air with particles carried out by commercial computational fluid dynamics software,...

Different wastes are generated in ferromanganese and silicomanganese alloy production. One of them is the ultrafine oxidized dust (UOD) produced in the collection and control of flying dusts in the ferroalloy industry. This waste has fairly high manganese content (20%–40% Mn), making it suitable to be a secondary raw material for the ferromanganese industry. This research proposes a method for ...

Nowadays, energy consumption management is a vital strategy for societies to optimize energy consumption. Considering the widespread functions of electrical energy in human lives,a high proportion of consumption management procedures deals with the management of electrical energy consumption. It is important to study the state of electrical energy and provide managerial and optimal management s...

Introduction What impact can mathematical modeling have in the production industry? Our partnership with Almatis B.V., a special purpose cement manufacturer, resulted in the complete elimination of unscheduled plant shut-downs. Almatis now reports a much more stable manufacturing process and hence a very significant productivity increase. The key to our success resides in the deployment of adva...
