This study proposed a new LCC (life cycle cost) methodology with the risk expenditure taken into account for comparative evaluation of offshore process options at their conceptual design stage. The risk expenditure consisted of the failure risk expenditure and the accident risk expenditure. The...

This study proposes a new concept called the cascade Rankine cycle, which recovers LNG (liquefied natural gas) cold energy for power generation, optimizes the cycle by investigating the effects of key parameters on its performance, and compares its thermal efficiency, exergy efficiency and...

The thermal efficiency of a reheating furnace was predicted by considering radiative heat transfer to the slabs and the furnace wall. The entire furnace was divided into fourteen sub-zones, and each sub-zone was assumed to be homogeneous in temperature distribution with one medium temperature...
