• EVALUATION OF M.T.T.F AND RELIABILITY OF A GAS SEPARATOR PLANT WITH DOUBLE FILTRATION OF GASES BY BOOLEAN FUNCTION TECHNIQUE

Abstract

In this paper, Investigations have been carried out for the evaluation of Reliability and M.T.T.F (Mean time to failure) of a gas separator plant with double filtration of gases.  The main object is to separate the waste gases from the input gas through double filtration. The considered system consists of five main sub systems arranged in series and parallel configuration.  The reliability and M.T.T.F have been evaluated by using Boolean function technique.  Failure times for the various components of the gas separator plant follow arbitrary distribution.  A numerical example has also been appended to highlight the important results.  Two graphs on reliability and M.T.T.F have also been given in the end to forecast the operable behavior of the plant at any time.
