The scroll type of compressor is becoming popular and widely used in refrigeration and air conditioners. But it is time consuming to design and manufacture the compressor since its components are of complex shape and of high precision requirements. This paper presents a concurrent engineering approach to computer-aided design and manufacturing of the compressor. The authors use C‡‡ programming ...

The Virtual Corporation is a research initiative at Arizona State University that introduces multidisciplinary, concurrent-design techniques into the undergraduate engineering curriculum. Sponsored by the ARPA Technology Reinvestment Program and supported by industrial partners, The Virtual Corporation offers participants a unique opportunity to work with students from several academic discipli...

This paper argues that there are new insights to be gained from a strategic analysis of requirements engineering. The paper is motivated by a simple question: what does it take to be a world class software acquirer? The question has relevance for requirements engineers because for many organisations market pressures mean that software is commonly acquired rather than developed from scratch. Thi...

In this paper, we present the impact of concurrent engineering strategies, methods, and tools on product sustainability. Concurrent can be used to achieve primary goals a realization project: lower costs, shorter times, high quality, increasing value. Currently, it is important that new products also meet sustainability goals, such as economic, environmental, social goals. The influenced most i...

For more than three decades, Oxidative Coupling of Methane (OCM) process has been comprehensively investigated as an attractive alternative for the commercially available ethylene production technologies such as ethane and naphtha cracking. Developing a suitable catalyst and proper reactor feeding policy, reviewing and deploying the efficient methods in the separation and purification of the un...
