RELIABILITY EVALUATION OF NIXING AND BOILING POWER PLANT IN A RUBBER FACTORY WITH THE AID OF BF EXPANSION ALGORITHM TECHNIQUE

摘要

This paper deals with evaluation of reliability and MTTF of a complex system with the aid of Boolean function expansion algorithm technique. The system consists of generators, cables, switches and jumper. Each component of the system has two states, viz, good or bad (failed). The object of the system is to supply power from a distant power house to several section of a rubber factory through cables and switches. The failure times of all components in the complex system follow Weibull/exponential distribution. At the end, numerical computation and some graphs have also been given so as to select which type of system is best suited to perform the mission.
