Cost/Weight Optimization of Aircraft StructuresKaufmann, Markus January 2008 (has links)
<p>Composite structures can lower the weight of an airliner significantly. The increased production cost, however, requires the application of cost-effective design strategies. Hence, a comparative value is required which is used for the evaluation of a design solution in terms of cost and weight. The direct operating cost (DOC) can be used as this comparative value; it captures all costs that arise when the aircraft is flown. In this work, a cost/weight optimization framework for composite structures is proposed. It takes into account manufacturing cost, non-destructive testing cost and the lifetime fuel consumption based on the weight of the aircraft, thus using a simplified version of the DOC as the objective function.</p><p>First, the different phases in the design of an aircraft are explained.

Operating Cost Analysis of Electric Aircraft on Regional RoutesShahwan, Kawthar January 2021 (has links)
The future of electric aircraft is closing in, with several companies racing to develop the first electric aircraft for commercial use. Researchers believe that electric aircraft have many benefits compared to conventional aircraft: the decrease of emissions, cheaper costs in the chain of development from manufacturing to ticket prices and a decrease in both fuel costs and overall operating costs. Amidst the race for the development of electric aircraft for commercial purposes between new and existing manufacturers, there is missing information which is needed to understand the profitability of electric aircraft. The question remains of how much the cost will change between conventional aircraft and electric aircraft. The aim of this study is to compare the operating cost of an electric aircraft (with 19 seats) to similar conventional aircraft on regional routes. The comparison would inform the decision of airlines interested in investing in electric aviation. To help achieve the aim of the study, a comparison analysis, a cost calculation, and analysis, as well as a SWOT analysis were performed using data gathered through literature search, a case study, and interviews. The study was performed on two conventional aircraft, the Beechcraft 1900D and the Jetstream JS31, both turboprop aircraft powered by jet fuel, and an electric aircraft, Heart Aerospaces ES-19. Common for all aircraft is the capacity of 19 seats and their utilization for short-range flights. The total cost of electric aircraft is between 15 to 22% cheaper than the operating cost for conventional aircraft. The most expensive category for electric aircraft is the ownership cost, which can be reduced through mass production of electric aircraft, as the ownership cost of aircraft is generally higher when fewer aircraft are made. The electric aircraft is currently at a disadvantage due to the weight of the batteries and overall aircraft weight, which increases the weight-related airport charges. / <p>Examensarbetet är utfört vid Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap (ITN) vid Tekniska fakulteten, Linköpings universitet</p>

Flexible Design and Operation of Multi-Stage Flash (MSF) Desalination Process Subject to Variable Fouling and Variable Freshwater DemandSaid, Said Alforjani R., Emtir, M., Mujtaba, Iqbal M. January 2013 (has links)
yes / This work describes how the design and operation parameters of the Multi-Stage
Flash (MSF) desalination process are optimised when the process is subject to variation in
seawater temperature, fouling and freshwater demand throughout the day. A simple
polynomial based dynamic seawater temperature and variable freshwater demand
correlations are developed based on actual data which are incorporated in the MSF
mathematical model using gPROMS models builder 3.0.3. In addition, a fouling model
based on stage temperature is considered. The fouling and the effect of noncondensable
gases are incorporated into the calculation of overall heat transfer co-efficient for
condensers. Finally, an optimisation problem is developed where the total daily operating
cost of the MSF process is minimised by optimising the design (no of stages) and the
operating (seawater rejected flowrate and brine recycle flowrate) parameters.

Modified simplification of HDM-4 methodology for the calculation of vehicle operating cost to incorporate terrain and expanded to all vehicle types for use in the Western Cape context F HDM-4 METHODOLOGY FOR THE CALCULATION OF VEHICLE OPERATING COST TO INCORPORATE TERRAIN AND EXPANDED TO ALL VEHICLE TYPES FOR USE IN THE WESTERN CAPE CONTEXTHofmeyr, Melanie Kemp 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2015. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION
The Western Cape Government (WCG) uses Vehicle Operating Cost (VOC) as part of their Road Management System since 1992. VOC is used in the process of prioritisation of maintenance projects as well as for the identification of economically viable maintenance strategies and is thus an integral part of the system.
In 2001 changes to the VOC calculation methodology in the system to Highway Development and Management (HDM-4) system methodology occurred. The reasons were twofold – to bring the calculation method in line with world trends and due to lack of updated cost factors used in the previous methodology.
In October 2001 a model was implemented with riding quality (IRI) as independent variable. This model was partly based on regression table data. As no geometric/topography data, defined as Terrain data, was available at this stage, Terrain was ignored. In 2006 WCG Systems were updated with Global Positioning System (GPS) data and a process to classify or categorise Terrain was initiated, thus providing the opportunity to include Terrain. As part of the redevelopment to include Terrain, it was decided to re-evaluate the vehicle fleet.
METHODOLOGY
Various alternative methods to develop the Modified Simplification equations were available and evaluated, e.g. regression or direct mathematical substitution. HDM-4 requires the input of Vehicle Type dependent cost parameters that is based on real
vehicles. The WCG required that changes to these dependent parameters is
feasible, so that they can be updated periodically. A set of equations therefore
needed to be developed, allowing the input of Vehicle Type dependent parameters
and the subsequent calculation of VOC with riding quality (IRI) as independent
variable. This renders the use of regression analysis untenable.
Composition of the vehicle fleet on each road section is required to utilise HDM-4 for
analyses. In order to simplify calculations, different traffic strata was defined, i.e.
Business, Commuter, Rural and General. In the evaluation of the Vehicle it is this
strata and data from permanent counting stations that is used to compile a Vehicle
fleet.
MODEL DEVELOPMENT
The Modified Simplification to include Terrain results in 48 combinations of Vehicle
Type, Surface Type and Terrain Type for the basic equation of VOC. VOC = TCav + PARTSCOST + LABOURCOST +DEPCSTav ( )´
Length of road segment
1000
+(FuelCostav +OilCostav )´ Length of road segment
av TC -Tyre Cost PARTSCOST -Parts Cost LABOURCOST - Labour Cost
av DEPCST - Depreciation Cost av FuelCost -Fuel Cost av OilCost - Oil Cost
The variables in VOC are defined by a couple of equations. For explanatory
purposes a numeric example is presented.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
The implementation of this Modified Simplification has assisted not only the WCG, but also other entities, that also use the VOC (published annually) based on these principles. Interested parties have the option to include Terrain in their implementation. Caution should be taken when using the Modified Simplification, as it is important that the principles used to simplify HDM-4 apply to the implementation and the business rules of the Management system of the user.
The current development will not require a redevelopment due to any vehicle fleet change in future as the decision to simplify all defined Vehicle Types in HDM-4 allows the new fleet to be updated.
Recommendation for further research and development include:
• Standalone function that is already considered by the WCG
• Investigating Published Vehicle data
• Economic vehicle data for use in specific applications / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: INLEIDING
Sedert 1992 gebruik die Wes-Kaapse Regering (WCG) voertuiggebruikskoste (VOC) as deel van hul Plaveisel Bestuurstelsels. VOC word gebruik in die proses van prioritisering van die instandhoudingprojekte sowel as vir die identifisering van ekonomies-vatbare instandhouding-strategieë en is dus 'n integrale deel van die stelsel.
In 2001 is daar besluit om oor te skakel na die berekeningsmetode van Highway Development and Management (HDM-4). Die redes was tweeledig – om die berekeningsmetode in lyn met die wêreld tendense te bring; en as gevolg van 'n gebrek aan opgedateerde koste-faktore in die voorheen-gebruikte metode.
In Oktober 2001 is 'n VOC-model, met rygehalte (IRI) as onafhanklike veranderlike geïmplementeer. Hierdie model was gedeeltelik gebaseer op regressie tabel data. Aangesien daar geen geometriese/topografiese data (gedefiniëer as terreindata) beskikbaar was nie, is die terrein geïgnoreer. In 2006 is WCG Stelsels opgedateer met Globale Positionering Stelsel (GPS) data en 'n proses om terrein te klassifiseer is van stapel gestuur. Deur die verandering in beskikbare data, is die geleentheid om terrein in te sluit in die VOC model geskep. As deel van die insluiting van herontwikkeling om terrein in te sluit, is daar besluit om die voertuigvloot te her-evalueer. METODOLOGIE
Verskeie alternatiewe metodes om die Gewysigde Vereenvoudiging-vergelykings te
ontwikkel was beskikbaar en is geëvalueer, bv. regressie of direkte wiskundige
vervanging en vereenvoudiging. HDM-4 se voertuigafhanklike koste-parameters is
op werklike voertuie gebaseer. Die WCG het vereis dat hierdie afhanklike
parameters veranderbaar moet wees, sodat hulle dit van tyd tot tyd kan opdateer. Dit
was dus nodig om 'n stel vergelykings te ontwikkel met die tipe voertuigkosteafhanklike
parameters as insette. Verder moes alle vergelykings weer in terme van
rygehalte wees. Dit maak die gebruik van regressie-analise ononderhoubaar.
Samestelling van die voertuigvloot op elke padseksie is 'n vereiste om HDM-4 aan te
wend vir ontledingsdoeleindes. Ten einde berekeninge te vereenvoudig is
verskillende verkeerstrata gedefinieer, naamlik Besigheid, Pendel, Landelik en
Algemeen. In die evaluering van die Voertuig is dit hierdie strata en data uit
permanente telstasies wat gebruik word om 'n voertuigvloot saam te stel.
MODELONTWIKKELING
Die Gemodifiseerde Vereenvoudiging, insluitend terrein, het 48 kombinasies van tipe
voertuig, oppervlak en terrein vir die basiese vergelyking van VOC:
VOC = TCav + PARTSCOST + LABOURCOST +DEPCSTav ( )´
Length of road segment
1000
+(FuelCostav +OilCostav )´ Length of road segment
TCav - Bandkoste; PARTSCOST - Onderdele-koste; LABOURCOST - Arbeidskoste;
av FuelCost - Brandstofkoste; av DEPCST - Waardeverminderingskoste; av OilCost - Oliekoste Die veranderlikes in VOC word gedefinieer deur 'n paar vergelykings. Vir verduidelikende doeleindes word 'n numeriese voorbeeld ingesluit.
GEVOLGTREKKING EN AANBEVELING
Die implementering van hierdie Gewysigde Vereenvoudiging het nie net die WCG nie, maar ook ander entiteite wat ook die VOC (jaarliks gepubliseer) gebruik, bygestaan. Belangstellendes het die opsie om die terrein in hul implementering in te sluit. Dit is belangrik om ag te slaan op die beginsels wat gebruik is om HDM-4 te vereenvoudig tesame met die besigheidsreëls van die Gewysigde Vereenvoudiging, indien dit gebruik word.
Die huidige model vereis nie 'n herontwikkeling as gevolg van enige voertuigvloot verandering in die toekoms nie. As gevolg van die besluit om alle gedefinieerde tipes voertuig te vereenvoudig, kan die voertuigvloot keuse net in die stelsel opgedateer word.
Aanbeveling vir verdere navorsing en ontwikkeling sluit in:
• Alleenstaande funksie wat reeds deur die WCG beskou word
• Ondersoek Gepubliseerde Voertuig data
• Gebruik van Ekonomiese voertuigdata vir sekere toepassings

Le choix d'un système de transport durable : analyse comparative des systèmes de transport guidé de surface / The choice of a sustainable transportation system : comparative analysis of surface guided transportation systemsAn, Jeong-Hwa 11 April 2011 (has links)
Le choix d'un système de transport guidé de surface exploité en site propre (TCSP) est un travail complexe et difficile. Les différents systèmes peuvent sembler offrir des services équivalents pour les utilisateurs tandis que manquent souvent les informations nécessaires pour mieux distinguer les différences entre tel ou tel système. L'objectif de cette recherche vise, au-delà d'une présentation des différents systèmes guidés de surface qui structurent les réseaux de transport public en France, à procéder à une analyse comparative afin de mieux guider les choix des collectivités territoriales, dans le contexte des efforts qu'elles conduisent pour promouvoir des transports urbains répondant aux enjeux du développement durable. Les avantages et points faibles de chaque système est analysé et présenté de manière désagrégée. De manière complémentaire, est proposée et discutée une méthode multicritère ELECTRE III permettant d'agréger les résultats obtenus et de proposer le (ou les) système(s) le(s) mieux adapté(s) à différents contextes d'exploitation. Le résultat principal met en évidence le fait que le tramway moderne sur fer occupe une place privilégiée dans la majorité des scenarii. Cependant, le CIVIS, le Translohr, TVR et même le trolleybus ont leur place selon le contexte d'exploitation, dès lors en particulier que sont pris en compte les coûts d'infrastructure et d'exploitation associés. Les résultats de cette recherche nous encouragent en outre à recommander, chaque fois qu'il y a un projet de système de transport de surface, de passer en revue la gamme des systèmes et d'effectuer l'analyse comparative avec les différentes contraintes du lieu et du moment, en y intégrant une vision de moyen et long terme et les effets prévisibles sur l'aménagement urbain / The choice of a guided surface transit system operated on separated RoW is a complex and difficult task. Even if different transit systems could provide equivalent services to users, we often lack the necessary information to better distinguish among different systems. Beyond giving a presentation of different surface guided systems structuring the public transport networks in France, the aim of this research is to conduct a comparative analysis in order to better guide decisions of local authorities in their efforts to promote urban transport that meets the challenges of sustainable development. The advantages and the drawbacks of each system are analyzed and presented in a disaggregated way. In addition, a multicriteria method ELECTRE III is proposed and discussed for aggregating the results and proposing system(s) best suited for different operating conditions. The main result shows that the modern tramway on rail occupies a privileged place in most scenarios. However, the CIVIS, Translohr, TVR and even trolleybuses have their places with respect to operating conditions, given that the related infrastructure and operating costs are taken into account. The results of this research therefore encourage us to recommend, every time we propose a surface transit system, to review the whole range of systems and to do the comparative analysis with different context and time constraints integrating mid-term and long-term visions and predictable effects on the urban requalification

Heavy metal removal from bilge water by electrocoagulation treatmentAndrade, Milton 20 December 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this research was to observe the removal efficiency for copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) using Electrocoagulation (EC) technique in a continuous flow reactor with a synthetic bilge water emulsion; and additionally, to discuss the operation cost of the treatment. The optimal configuration for EC treatment used combined electrodes, aluminum and carbon steel; flow rate of 1 L/min; effluent recycling and 7.5 amps; this optimal configuration achieved 99% of zinc removal efficiency, 70% of both, copper and nickel removal efficiency, and low operation costs. The current intensity did not have significance incidence on the removal efficiency. The analysis of cost per gram of removed contaminant indicated that nickel had an average cost of $1.95 per gram removed, zinc and copper had $0.60 and $0.88 per gram removed, respectively. To develop additional experiments with the EC reactor are required in order to optimize metal removal efficiency.

Intermediación financiera y Concentración de mercado en el segmento microcrediticio: Caso de las Cajas Municipales / Financial intermediation and Market Concentration in Microcredit Sector: Municipal Savings Banks in PeruQuispe Villavicencio, Luz María 01 December 2020 (has links)
La presente investigación tiene como objetivo determinar la relación entre la concentración del mercado microcrediticio peruano y el margen financiero de las firmas. En vista de las diferencias en el desempeño de las instituciones microfinancieras se realizó un análisis enfocado en las cajas municipales debido a su participación en el microcrédito y a su antigüedad en el sector, pues un estudio agregado no permitirá analizar de manera correcta dicha relación. Para el análisis se utilizó información financiera de las cajas municipales peruanas durante el periodo Jul10 – Dic19 a través de un modelo de datos de panel lineal estático.
Los resultados indican una relación negativa entre la concentración de mercado crediticio y el margen de intermediación financiera de las cajas municipales. Una posible explicación, es el incremento de la competencia en el mercado microcrediticio. De esta manera, el efecto de la concentración sobre el margen se vería opacado por el incremento de la competencia en el sector disminuyendo su poder de mercado, el cual les permitía incrementar sus márgenes. Los resultados obtenidos son relevantes ya que nos indican que el incremento de la concentración en el mercado microcrediticio peruano no ha tenido un efecto perjudicial sobre los principales clientes (micro y pequeñas empresas) de las CMAC gracias al incremento de la competencia, lo cual tiene sentido ya que los márgenes como las tasas de interés han ido disminuyendo en lugar de aumentar. Además, se encuentra que la variable de costos operativos tiene un gran impacto sobre el margen de las cajas municipales. / The objective of this research is to determine the relationship between the concentration of the Peruvian microcredit market and the financial margin of the firms. In view of the differences in the performance of microfinance institutions, an analysis focused on municipal savings banks was carried out due to their participation in microcredit and their seniority in the sector, since an aggregate study will not allow a correct analysis of this relationship. For the analysis, financial information was used from the Peruvian municipal savings banks during the period Jul10 - Dec19 through a static linear panel data model.
The results indicate a negative relationship between the concentration of the credit market and the financial intermediation margin of the municipal savings banks. One possible explanation is the increased competition in the microcredit market. In this way, the effect of the concentration on the margin would be overshadowed by the increase in competition in the sector, reducing their market power, which allowed them to increase their margins. The results obtained are relevant since they indicate that the increase in concentration in the Peruvian microcredit market has not had a detrimental effect on the main clients (micro and small companies) of the CMACs thanks to the increase in competition, which makes sense. since spreads like interest rates have been decreasing instead of increasing. In addition, it is found that the operating cost variable has a great impact on the margin of the municipal savings banks. / Trabajo de investigación
