Cost analyses Sample Clauses

Cost analyses. In Phase I of this program, Epyx will evaluate these advanced substrate based catalysts and adsorbents in micro/meso reactor, MPR (modular pressurized reformer -- a disintegrated 50 kWe fuel processor), and integrated 5O kWe fuel processor - with and without PEMFC. The performance data obtained from such testing under simulated and real reformate conditions will be conveyed to Corning and others in order for them to improve the material performance. Epyx will also collect kinetic data, design the reactors, and integrate them with the Next Millennium Fuel Processor(TM) - all with guidance from subcontractors. Detailed description of SOW Task 1 Substrate selection: Based on the information provided in Table 2, Corning will prepare a comprehensive list of candidate substrates (for each reaction zone) based on their following requirements in the descending order: o High catalytic activity per unit volume o High catalytic activity per unit mass o Low thermal mass o High ease of heat & mass transfer-- axially and radially o Ability to undergo rapid thermal cycling (between room temperature and Table 2 temperature), and frequent start-up and shut-down o Compatible with all reactants, products, trace species, air, and water o Washcoating capability o Resistant to plugging by foreign species o High commercial viability or low cost For certain reaction zones, such as reforming, high heat transfer rates are extremely important to attain high catalytic activity. Therefore, a metallic reticulate type substrate is preferred.

Cost analyses. The costs related to each monitoring method will be tracked during the project, and evaluated and compared. This will allow cities and counties, and other research entities to understand the costs related to monitoring efforts. Direct costs of equipment for fabrication, all related equipment needed to deploy equipment, costs related to data characterization and analysis, and all other costs will be evaluated and summarized. Costs associated with street sweeping and partial capture devices will also be collated and summarized in the final report. To the extent possible, comparisons between street sweeping costs (with and without partial capture) and the costs of purchasing, installing and maintaining full capture devices will be compared.

Cost analyses. For the Landing Gear Door and for the Railway Side Panel serial productions, the material needs and the associated recurring costs were evaluated. The labour time needed for the all the steps of the manufacturing processes (SQRTM for LGD and RTM for RSP) were evaluated based on the part geometry, the mould concept and Coexpair experience. A preliminary rough estimation of recurring cost was also performed for other non specific steps. The combination of material cost and labour cost provided the recurring costs for both the demonstrators. The number of moulds, the number & type of injection systems and the number and general characteristics of presses were evaluated. This evaluation was based on concept geometries, mould concepts, cure cycles, time spent with each equipment etc. and provided the non recurring cost evaluation.
