SYSTEMS MODELS FOR TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS. VOLUME III: A COMPUTABLE COMMAND-CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A SOCIAL SYSTEM

These compartments are food, materials, energetics, manpower, productive function, economic balance, and technology governing the system. Ideal Carnot cycle efficiencies are characterized for the basic cyclic processes in each compartment.
