Evaluating Failure of a Refrigeration cycle using Triangular Intuitionstic Fuzzy Approach Neeraj Lata Dept.of Mathematics, TMU, Moradabad, (U.P.) sirohimaths@gmail.com

Abstract: In real life systems, the information may be inaccurate or might have linguistic representation. In such cases the estimation of precise values of probability becomes very difficult. In order to handle this situation, triangular fuzzy approach is used to evaluate the failure rate status. In this paper we introduced triangular fuzzy fault tree analysis for evaluating failure range of the refrigeration cycle system.

Key Words: triangular Intuitionstic fuzzy approach, fuzzy fault tree, failure rate, refrigeration cycle etc. real number as a membership grade and in such cases it may be useful to identify meaningful lower and upper bounds for

boundary to distinguish which element of the universe of discourse belongs to the set. In real life applications situations, it is not possible to distinct these elements by such a sharp layer due to the uncertainty involved. A fuzzy set is a set that consists of the elements having varying degrees of belongingness in the sets. So these situations may be better explained by the fuzzy sets, the set which contains all the elements of the universe but with different degrees of

2.1 Definition of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFSs):Fuzzy set theory was first introduced by Zadeh in 1965 [6]. Let X be universe of discourse defined by X = {x1, x2,...,xn}. The grade of membership of an element xi ∈ X in a fuzzy set is represented by real value between 0 and 1. It does indicate

the evidence for xi ∈X, but does not indicate the evidence

against xi ∈X. Atanassov in 1984 [4] presented the concept of IFS, and pointed out that this single value combines the

membership. A crisp set A may be defined over a universe X and may
