Subtractive manufacturing (CNC machining) has high quality of geometric and material properties but is slow, costly and infeasible in some cases; additive manufacturing (RP) is just the opposite. Total automation and hence speed is achieved in RP by compromising on quality. Hybrid Layered Manufacturing (HLM) developed at IIT Bombay combines the best features of both these approaches. It uses ar...

Munksøgård is a housing community near the city of Roskilde, Denmark. In 2014, Munksøgård's residents have agreed to change the existing heat supply system. The choice of future heat supply was narrowed to heat pumps, new biomass boiler and connection to nearby district heating network. The present paper compares results from techno-economic energy system analysis, simple private-economic analy...

In small-scale hydropower scheme, the most important component is electro-mechanical equipment. Since cost contribution of this component is high because hydrokinetic projects require negligible civil works. Turbine and alternator contribute a major fraction of the hydrokinetic projects. Thus, there is a requirement to estimates the electromechanical equipment cost for a hydrokinetic hydropower...

We present a techno-economic analysis of services deployed over integrated satellite-terrestrial networks which employ an Information-Centric Networking (ICN) architecture. Our methodology provides a systematic procedure to assess the gains of various service integration scenarios, initially identifying the technical capabilities for which ICN can provide advantages and considering the requirem...

Filgrastim is an important protein that treats neutropenia which has significant clinical applications including a possible cure against cancer. However, despite its significant medical benefits, the large scale production of Filgrastim is still rare and is reported only by a handful of companies throughout the world. We present a techno-economic feasibility analysis for a recombinant human ana...

This thesis consists of uncertainty and techno-economic studies of two different biofuels production pathways (catalytic pyrolysis and gasification). The objective of this paper is to obtain a side-by-side techno-economic comparison of in situ and ex situ catalytic pyrolysis, and gasification state-of-technology and target scenarios that addresses both sensitivity and uncertainty analysis in th...

This paper attempts to understand the structure underlining the weakness of the Indonesian economic development strategy in a systemic perspective. The explanation assumes the importance of industrial technological capability within the framework of the techno-economic structure. The results of a simulated model of techno-economic administration show the weakness of the industrial technological...
