Components & System Reliability: Quantitative Risk Analysis L08 Fall 2013

This document describes a test case for calculating the reliability of a pumping system. The system pumps water from point A to point B and includes valves and a pump. Failure rate data for the components was obtained from life tests. The document asks to: 1) Calculate the reliability function of the system 2) Determine the failure rates of the components 3) Calculate the probability the system will survive another 10 hours if it already survived 10 hours

L06 System Reliability
Test Case Part 1
A pumping system pumps water from point A to point B. The time to
failure of all the valves and the pump can be represented by the
exponential distributions with failure rates that where obtained by
specific life tests. Calculate
1. the reliability function of the system
2. the failure rates
3. the probability that the system will survive another 10h, if it
already survived 10h.

L06 System Reliability
Test Case Part 2
Valves life test
Ten valves are placed under life test which is terminated at t
0
= 850h.
Eight components before 850h have elapsed, but the components are
replaced when they fail.
Failure times obtained are:
183, 318, 412, 432, 553, 680, 689, 748
Pump life test
Ten pumps are placed under life test which is terminated when the 8
th
component failed at 850h. The components are not replaced when
they fail.
Failure times obtained are:
183, 318, 412, 432, 553, 680, 689, 748
