The algorithm consists of three basic modules of computer simulation. each comprising three phases of Algorithm, simulation, and Experiments/robustness validation. In the design phase, different scenarios are determined by changing parameters affecting the reliability, maintainability, and total cost. The job shop production system is simulated in the simulation phase. Then, a fuzzy simulation approach is implemented to run the simulation model for each scenario with ambiguous inputs. Accordingly, the investment cost, maintenance cost, mean time to repair (MTTR), and mean time to failure (MTTF) are obtained. Finally, the performance of different scenarios is assessed in the third module. ANN and DEA are separately used in this module and the preferred method is selected based on the robustness test and extensive sensitivity analysis. DEA and ANN are then employed to rank the design alternatives concerning the initial inputs and outputs. To show the applicability and superiority of the proposed integrated algorithm, it is applied to optimize the design of a fuzzy job shop production system consisting of five workstations.","PeriodicalId":21605,"journal":{"name":"Scientia Iranica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72493445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The self re-wetting property of fluid is modelled by considering a quadratic dependence of surface tension on temperature and species concentration. The afore-mentioned problem is modelled by simplified Navier-Stokes equations. Identifying the appropriate transform variables is essential for developing ordinary differential equations from original partial differential equations that describe the flow conditions. The resulting ordinary differential equations are solved by using the bvp 4 c routine of MATLAB and numerical solutions are presented via Graphs and tables, illustrating the impact of several factors on fluid velocity, temperature, and concentration. Computation of the quantities of physical interest such as Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are also done from those numerical solutions. One of the key findings of present research work is that the Marangoni convection works differently for pseudo-plastic fluid and dilatant fluid. On increasing thermal Marangoni convection the temperature of dilatant fluid reaches a peak value much closer to the disk than temperature of pseudo plastic fluid.","PeriodicalId":21605,"journal":{"name":"Scientia Iranica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83519561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach recruits DC voltage of the common source node of the switching pair transistors as an indicator to achieve the best performance of a class-C oscillator. The proposed indicator has the advantages of not introducing any loading effect to the output node, and independency from PVT changes. The method is simple and applicable to any oscillator with class-C topology, and with some modifications it would be applied to other oscillator topologies like class-B. The idea is verified using theoretical analysis, and circuit simulations on 0.18 µ m CMOS technology at 2GHz oscillation frequency. Moreover, a discrete prototype is fabricated at 15MHz and measurement results are provided which further validate feasibility of this approach.","PeriodicalId":21605,"journal":{"name":"Scientia Iranica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82291051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study offers a Three-Stage decision-making model for acquiring new technological knowledge and the optimal time to invest. In the first Stage, two competing firms decide to invest in a new technological knowledge without knowing its level. In the next stage, firms will develop and integrate it with their knowledge. Due to the uncertainty of new technological knowledge, a stochastic programming model is used to determine the optimal acquisition time. This model identifies the leader and follower by considering advantages such as branding and high market share as well as disadvantages such as high cost of uncertainty. Finally, we used Cournot and Stackelberg game to determine the winner in the market. The proposed model can be used as a decision-making tool to help organizations, in uncertainty, invest as leaders in acquiring new technological knowledge and entering the market, or wait until things are clear. The results of stochastic programing and game theory model show that the level of knowledge of firms at the time of production, knowledge absorption coefficient, and constant demand coefficient will have a special effect on determining the winner in the market","PeriodicalId":21605,"journal":{"name":"Scientia Iranica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89404487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The linear analysis is performed using normal mode analysis and the Galerkin technique is applied to analyze the impact of variable heating and changeable gravity field on the behavior of system stability. The exponential temperature-dependent viscosity is considered. We examined three different types of heat source and gravity variance function combinations: Convection is accelerated by increases in viscosity and the gravity variance parameter, but decelerated by increases in the heat source strength. It has been shown that the configuration is more stable when the gravity variance and heat source functions are combined in instance (ii), but less stable when they are combined in case (iii).","PeriodicalId":21605,"journal":{"name":"Scientia Iranica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75079099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, entropy generation rises for magnetic field and Brinkman number whereas opposite tendency is observed for the electric field.

In this investigation, heat and mass transfer characteristics are examined in Casson flow between two orthogonally moving disks, with nonlinear thermal radiation under the slip and convective conditions, using the powerful tool of similarity transformation. A MATLAB code, based on quasi-linearization, has been developed for the numerical study. It is observed that, when the disks are receding, the disk expansion ratio raises the velocity profile near the center of the region between the two disks. The trend is, however, reversed when the disks are approaching each other. Moreover, all the governing parameters remarkably elevate the fluid temperature at a central region between the disks, for both cases. A remarkable lowering in concentration distribution is also noted with the Schmidt number and the chemical reaction parameter. Finally, compared to thermal and concentration profiles, it is the velocity distribution which is least affected.","PeriodicalId":21605,"journal":{"name":"Scientia Iranica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90186233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
