  2. Minimum-cost flow problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum-cost_flow_problem

    The minimum-cost flow problem (MCFP) is an optimization and decision problem to find the cheapest possible way of sending a certain amount of flow through a flow network.A typical application of this problem involves finding the best delivery route from a factory to a warehouse where the road network has some capacity and cost associated.

  3. NTU method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTU_Method

    The number of transfer units (NTU) method is used to calculate the rate of heat transfer in heat exchangers (especially parallel flow, counter current, and cross-flow exchangers) when there is insufficient information to calculate the log mean temperature difference (LMTD). Alternatively, this method is useful for determining the expected heat ...

  4. Bucket elevator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_elevator

    The buckets can be also triangular in cross-section and set close together on the belt with little or no clearance between them. This is a continuous bucket elevator. Its main use is to carry difficult materials [clarification needed] at a slow speed. Early bucket elevators used a flat chain with small, steel buckets attached every few inches ...

  5. Link aggregation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_aggregation

    Link aggregation offers an inexpensive way to set up a high-capacity backbone network that transfers multiple times more data than any single port or device can deliver. Link aggregation also allows the network's backbone speed to grow incrementally as demand on the network increases, without having to replace everything and deploy new hardware.

  6. Bucket chain excavator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_chain_excavator

    The speed of the bucket chain is 1.22 m/s with a digging force of 1,170 kN/m 2. [4] BCEs such as the RK 5000 from the Czech Republic weigh up to 5,000 tons. [ 5 ] The largest BCE model currently known is the Takraf Type Es 3750 , with a length of over 130 meters, a height of around 40 meters and a weight of 5,118 t (11,300,000 lb) [ 6 ]

  7. Critical chain project management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_chain_project...

    The "extra" duration of each task on the critical chain—the difference between the "safe" durations and the 50% durations—is gathered in a buffer at the end of the project. In the same way, buffers are gathered at the end of each sequence of tasks that feed into the critical chain.

  8. Strain wave gearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_Wave_Gearing

    High gear reduction ratios are possible in a small volume (a ratio from 30:1 up to 320:1 is possible in the same space in which planetary gears typically only produce a 10:1 ratio). Disadvantages include a tendency for 'wind-up' (a torsional spring rate) in the low torque region. Strain wave gearing is commonly used in robotics [3] and ...

  9. Portal axle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_axle

    Comparison between normal and portal axles Pinzgauer portal axle. A portal axle (or portal gear lift) is an off-road vehicle suspension and drive technology where the axle tube or the half-shaft is offset from – usually above – the center of the wheel hub and where driving power is transferred to each wheel via a simple gearbox, built onto each hub.
