Requirements management is a challenging task. For complex products, many thousands of requirements need to be managed, i.e. initially set, allocated, changed, verified etc. An approach to solving this problem is to use IT-based requirements management tools. The paper presents an empirical study of the application of such a tool...
This paper reviews studies that have successfully applied DFP techniques in a variety of product domains. In addition, the paper discusses how product development teams can create new DFP techniques that will help them create more profitable products. The presentation of these examples and guidelines should encourage the use of...
In any economic system, goods and services are produced and delivered to the end customers in the market. How well this endeavor is carried out depends on a large extent to the efforts of those who manage the whole show. In such a scenario, if a group of individuals with...
As we progress into the new century, it is fitting to pause and to reflect on the past as well as upon the future. Founded in 1966 with a vision to the needs of the future, the PVP Division has matured today to one of the largest ASME Technical Divisions...
This project focuses on the development of a combustion technology which uses air that is preheated to extremely high temperatures (above 1,000 °C), heretofore considered impossible. This new technology makes use of the recently developed high cycle regenerative heat exchanger, for preheating the furnace air supply. This exchanger preheats air...
This paper briefly describes the pilot-scale SFS and discusses pilot- scale results related to the performance of the convective air heater and radiant air heater. In addition, development of materials, additives, and strategies to reduce refractory and heat exchanger corrosion and modify slag behavior is discussed. It deals with testing...
