This paper discusses the CFD optimization of a special purpose carburetor design for use with low energy density gases like producer gas at low operating pressures. The carburetor aims to generate an optimal air-fuel mixture under varying engine load conditions and fuel supply pressures. A CFD simulation model of the carburetor mixing chamber is analyzed to optimize the geometry for efficient mixing and minimal pressure drop. The optimized design aims to standardize carburetors that can address the technology gap in using low energy density fuels in engines.

Managing system reliability and maintenance under performance based contract ...ASQ Reliability Division
Performance based contracting (PBC) emerged as a new service model which is reshaping the acquisition, operation and maintenance of capital equipment. PBC is often referred to as performance based logistics in defense industry, or is called as power-by-the-hour in the airline industry. The focus of PBC is on the outcome of the system reliability performance, not materials and labors involved in the maintenance. This presentation introduces a novel quantitative approach to planning performance-based contracts in the presence of system usage uncertainty. We develop an analytical model to characterize the system availability by comprehending five key performance drivers: failure rate, usage variability, spare parts inventory, repair turn-around time, and system fleet population. This analytical insight into the system performance allows us to estimate the lifecycle cost by taking into account the design, manufacturing, maintenance and repair across the system lifetime. Two types of contracting schemes are examined under the cost minimization and the profit maximization. This presentation aims to provide theoretical guidance to facilitate the paradigm change as it shits from material based services to performance based contracting.

This document discusses conducting a sensitivity analysis on a proposed investment to install power savers on street lights along a road project to reduce energy costs. It analyzed two alternatives: installing power savers on the existing sodium vapor lamps, or replacing them entirely with LED lights. Field tests showed power savers could reduce energy usage by 25%. A financial model evaluated funding options and found debt financing in phases for one package and full debt financing for the other package yielded the highest returns. Sensitivity analysis showed the investment was not highly sensitive to cost increases up to 50% but could become unprofitable if the remaining concession period was reduced by over 28%. The proposal was concluded to improve profits but was not implemented due to time and cost constraints.
Cost & Profitability Iir Conference 2008sbliek
The document announces a conference on telecoms cost allocation and profitability analysis to be held December 1-5, 2008 in London. Over 80% of operators and regulators attended the previous conference in 2007. The conference will address key challenges in cost accounting, regulation, and management for next generation networks. It will consist of two full-day masterclasses on establishing a cost control framework for next generation providers and financial modeling skills, as well as presentations and discussions on topics like NGN cost accounting, access network costing, and allocating common costs for new networks.
The document discusses India's increasing per capita CO2 emissions and the need to improve the reliability and efficiency of its aging thermal power plants through rehabilitation and modernization projects. It notes that 81% of India's power sector relies on fossil fuels and outlines plans to rehabilitate 205 thermal power units between 2012-2023, bringing improved generation capacity, efficiency gains of 26-34%, and reduced emissions. However, it also identifies several concerns around R&M projects in India like a shortage of competent agencies and standardized processes.

Value engineering aims to reduce costs and extend product lifecycles by identifying opportunities to improve value. However, investor expectations often exceed realistic product value over time as margins decline. HCL's value engineering framework takes a phased approach to minimize risk, with iterative projects delivering measurable savings and reinvestment. Case studies demonstrate cost reductions of up to 30% and development time reductions of up to 50% through integrated services like reengineering and optimizing bills of materials.

There is predominant gap in an investor's expectations and the actual characteristic of a product's value life cycle. In the absence of an intervention, product value declines over time. New and adjacent products have to accommodate the slack which results in a potential fall in market share as the product becomes less competitive. HCL's propositions such as tear down analysis and BOM optimization, extending product life cycle & end-of-life support and GTM for emerging markets are tailored to help you perform better value engineering.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
