Stochastics analysis of a polytube plant

Abstract

The Purpose of this paper is to compute reliability parameters of polytube plant having four units using Regenerative point Graphical Technique (RPGT). A Polytube plant consists of four sub systems such as Mixture (A), Extruder (B), Die (C), and Cutter (D). These subsystems are configured in series for successful working of plant. Units A & B have subunits in series whereas units C & D have subunits arranged in parallel. If one of units fails then the system fails and if C or D units are in reduced state then the system works in reduced. Numerical examples are taken to verify the derived results. Behavior analysis of the system is done which may be useful to management in maintaining the various units of the system Tables and graphs are prepared to compare and draw the conclusion.
