Moreover, the proposed application adapts to changes in the trends of the station's average number of customers and their types. Most of the parameters in the model are simulated stochastically and the algorithm used is the Q-learning algorithm. A computer simulation was implemented which demonstrates and confirms the utility of the model.","PeriodicalId":202841,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and in Industry","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114856697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The possibility of transferring and closely controlling temperature up to > 300°C has provided the heat transfer media technology with many new fields of application. This growing application of heat transfer plants with liquid heat transfer media other than water has made it necessary to produce complete and accurate engineering database for combustion and its devices to continuous improvement of industrial heating. Heating is an important operation in almost all industrial fields. A large variety of heating techniques is available at the market. Some examples are fuel burning, electrical heating, and so on. The analysis of related combustion process and estimation of the effective coefficients is the first step toward a successful design. The process of combustion fuel and their combustion and combustion devices are considered in this study. Direct fired heater exergy and energy analysis are performed taking into account precise calculation of chemical exergy for products of combustion.","PeriodicalId":202841,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and in Industry","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125535586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
