  • Optimal Design and Operation of Heat Exchanger Network 
    Salihu, Adamu Girei (Cranfield University, 2015-08)
    Heat exchanger networks (HENs) are the backbone of heat integration due to their ability in energy and environmental managements. This thesis deals with two issues on HENs. The first concerns with designing of economically ...
  • Optimal design for inspection and maintenance policy based on the CCC chart 
    Chan, Ling-Yau; Wu, Shaomin (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2009-10-01)
    In this paper, the concept of cumulative count of conforming chart (CCC chart) is applied in inspection and maintenance planning for systems where minor inspection, major inspection, minor maintenance and major maintenance ...
  • Optimal inspection policy for three-state systems monitored by control charts 
    Wu, Shaomin; Wang, Wenbin (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2011-08-01)
    This paper presents the formulations of the expected long-run cost per time unit for a system monitored by a static control chart and by an adaptive control chart respectively. The static chart has a fixed sampling ...
  • Optimal inspection policy for three-state systems monitored by variable sample size control charts 
    Wu, Shaomin (Springer Science Business Media, 2011-07-01)
    This paper presents the expected long-run cost per unit time for a system monitored by an adaptive control chart with variable sample sizes: if the control chart signals that the system is out of control, the sampling ...
  • Optimisation of a hollow fibre membrane bioreactor for water refuse 
    Verrecht, Bart (Cranfield University, 2010-09)
    Over the last two decades, implementation of membrane bioreactors (MBRs) has increased due to their superior effluent quality and low plant footprint. However, they are still viewed as a high-cost option, both with regards ...
  • Optimisation of business process designs: An algorithmic approach with multiple objectives. 
    Vergidis, K.; Tiwari, Ashutosh; Majeed, Basim; Roy, Rajkumar (Elsevier, 2007-09)

  • Optimisation of convective heat dissipation from ventilated brake discs 
    Galindo-Lopez, Carlos Hannover (Cranfield University, 2009-05)
    Fast heat dissipation from brake discs is sought in current vehicles, where high power braking duties demand harmonic combination of strength, (undamped) disc mass and cooling abilities for a wide speed range. This work ...
  • Optimisation of cricket pitch rolling 
    Shipton, Peter (Cranfield University, 2008-12)
    In the game of cricket, where a ball is bounced on a natural clay soil pitch between the ‘bowler’ and ‘batsman’, the ball-surface interaction is critical and is one of the most important factors responsible for the quality ...
  • Optimisation of membrane technology for water reuse 
    Raffin, Marie (Cranfield University, 2011-11)
