Prognosis of Component Degradation Under Uncertainty: A Method for Early Stage Design of a Complex Engineering System

This paper proposes a method that dynamically improves a statistical model of system degradation by incorporating uncertainty. The method is illustrated by a case example of fouling, or degradation, in a heat exchanger in a cogeneration desalination plant. The goal of the proposed method is to selec...
