The present study numerically simulates and analyses the combined influence of fin number ( n ) and inclination ( β ) on the performance of the PV module using a longitudinal finned PV-PCM system. Five different system geometries with no fin to four fins are considered with inclinations 0° to...

We study the single allocation hub covering problem, which is a special case of the general hub locationproblem. The hub covering problem is also an important extension to traditional network coveringproblems. Hubs are located at some nodes in the network and are used to facilitate –...

Purpose: Service triads refer to tripartite relationships in which client firms serve their customers through third-party service providers. The purpose of this paper is to systematically review the nascent but fast-growing literature on service triads to explore the broad themes along which...

The task allocation problem (TAP) is one where a number of tasks or modules need to be assigned to a set of processors or machines at minimum overall cost. The overall cost includes the communication cost between tasks that are assigned to different processors and other costs such as the...
