An experimental research was conducted to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of steam condensation on horizontal twisted elliptical tubes (TETs) with different structural parameters. Experiments were carried out at the steam saturation temperature of around 100.5°C with the wall...

This paper models and analyzes the throughput of a two-stage manufacturing system with multiple independent unreliable machines at each stage and one finite-sized buffer between the stages. The machines follow exponential operation, failure, and repair processes. Most of the literature uses...
