Energy Resource Allocation Optimization: A Mixed Integer Programming Fixed Charge Model, Mashaallah Khorsandi Jan 1976

Energy Resource Allocation Optimization: A Mixed Integer Programming Fixed Charge Model, Mashaallah Khorsandi

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A fixed charge model has been developed for a case study of a total energy power plant involving energy demands for chilled water, high temperature hot water, and electrical power. Using a FORTRAN computer program, which employs the Land and Doig branch and bound algorithm, the system model is solved for different sets of system demands for multiple energy users, and the following set of information is obtained to guide the decisions of operations personnel: 1. Recommend on/off status for each piece of equipment in the system. 2. Recommended rate of operation for each piece of machinery. 3. Required amounts …


An Interactive Information System For Tracking Student Academic Progress And For Projecting Quarterly Course Enrollments, Marilyn Sellers Khorsandi Jan 1976

An Interactive Information System For Tracking Student Academic Progress And For Projecting Quarterly Course Enrollments, Marilyn Sellers Khorsandi

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

An interactive information system has been developed for the College of Engineering to promote faster and more accurate trial advisement interviews between professors and the students they advice. This system also provides departmental administrative personnel with information to guide course scheduling. The system has the capability of providing the following information concerning undergraduate students enrolled in the College of Engineering: 1. A student's academic progress toward graduation. 2. A projection for four quarters of enrollments in engineering core courses. 3. The current status of any course offered as a requirement for obtaining a Bachelor's Degree in one of the Engineering …


Energy Resource Allocation Optimization--A Linear Programming Model, Paul F. Hutchins Jan 1976

Energy Resource Allocation Optimization--A Linear Programming Model, Paul F. Hutchins

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A linear programming model has been developed for a Central Energy Plant which minimizes operational costs for a system involving the generation of chilled water and high temperature hot water plus the generation and/or purchase of electric power with equipment using natural gas or fuel oil energy. The fundamental concepts developed herein are sufficient for the analysis of any combination of energy supplies, demands, and energy conversion equipment. Utilization of this model is demonstrated with a case study and computer program results for high and low temperature environments. The linear programming model approach establishes a well-defined framework for the analysis …

Flood Control Modeling, Peter E. Delle Donne Jan 1972

Flood Control Modeling, Peter E. Delle Donne

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This is a research report that discusses some continuous and discrete modeling techniques. The report applies these techniques to the analysis of Canal 38 (Kissimmee River) part of Central and South Florida Flood Control District. The analysis is based on recorded data for defining the physical systems parameters. Established parameters are mathematically related to define a descriptive model for Canal 38. The modeling procedure of 'trial and error' is used to assemble the model with measures of merit, the integral square error, and root mean squared error. General simulation considerations are discussed for application of the mathematical model.
