Reliability analysis of Ammonia Synthesis unit in a fertilizer Plant using CAS Mathematica

Abstract

Performance evaluation and reliability analysis of ammonia synthesis unit of a fertilizer plant has been discussed in this article. The fertilizer plant consists of a complex and repairable engineering system which further consists  of various units One of the foremost important functionaries of a fertilizer plant is ammonia synthesis unit. This unit comprises of five subunits arranged in the combination of series and parallel connections. A mathematical Model has been developed based on Markov Birth-Death process [6]. This model will be solved by using CAS Mathematica to analyse performance and reliability.
