Abstract |
|
This paper deals with the mathematical modeling and availability of feeding system of a sugar plant. Feeding system consist of four subsystems with three possible states: full working state, reduced capacity working and failure. The failure and working states of all subsystems are assumed to be constant. Problem formulation is done by Markov Birth-Death process while the operational behavior of the system is represented by the transition diagram.The model has been developed by considering some assumptions. The data in the feasible range has been selected from a survey of sugar plant and the effect of each subsystems on the system availability is tabulated in the form of matrices, which provide various availability level for different combination of failure and repair rates of all subsystems. |
