The purpose of this paper is to investigate the allocation of output and the water supply for two firms to produce differentiated product in two oligopoly game models established under the settings of complete information and incomplete information respectively. By solving a linear demand system model, this paper obtains the corresponding allocation results of output and the water supply for tw...

On-line spray water cooling (OSWC) of electric-resistance-welded (ERW) steel pipes can replace the conventional off-line heat treatment process and become an important and critical procedure. The OSWC process improves production efficiency, decreases costs, and enhances the mechanical properties of ERW steel pipe, especially the impact properties of the weld joint. In this paper, an annular OSW...

In order to monitor dryness stress under controlled conditions, we set up an experiment with beech seedlings in plant pots and built a platform for observing the seedlings with field imaging spectroscopy. This serves as a preparation for multi-temporal hyperspectral airand space-borne data expected to be available in coming years. Half of the trees were watered throughout the year; the other ha...

The usefulness and applicability of water indices such as Langelier saturation index, Ryznar stability index and Practical scale index for predicting the corrosive/scale forming tendency of chemically treated open recirculating cooling water has been studied. The study is based on the obtained corrosion and scale data for the period from May 1998 to December 2007, carried out at Fast Breeder Te...

Extrusion is one of the most important production methods in the plastics industry and is involved in the production of a large number of plastics commodities. Being an energy intensive production method, process energy efficiency is of major concern and selection of the most energy efficient processing conditions is a key aim to reduce operating costs. Extruders consume energy through motor op...
