A thermodynamic cycle simulation using multiple zones for the combustion process was used to obtain the performance, energy and availability characteristics for an automotive spark-ignition engine. In ...

The oil and gas production explosion is driving the renaissance of the chemical and process industries in North America. With low-cost natural gas comes low-cost feedstock for many chemical compounds, ...

Designing with synchronous clocks avoids metastability issues on clock domain crossings, but it presents its own challenges when multi-cycle and false paths are involved. A multi-cycle path (MCP) ...

The Nuclear Fuel Cycle Simulation System (NFCSS) is a scenario based computer simulation tool that can model various nuclear fuel cycle options in various types of nuclear reactor. It is efficient and ...

This white paper explains how to introduce front-end simulation into plastic injection mold designs to achieve optimal cycle times and higher part quality. This can help injection mold designers and ...

The Nuclear Fuel Cycle Simulation System (VISTA) is a simulation system which estimates long term nuclear fuel cycle material and service requirements as well as the material arising from the ...

Logic simulation is an interesting beast. Most engineers know what it does and what it's for, but few understand its subtle ramifications. Several techniques exist for verifying the functionality of a ...

Process time vs. cycle time is a discussion that comes up often for newcomers to Six Sigma. Understanding these principles and how they apply to your time management is vital. Failing to grasp these ...
