Abstract: The gray correlation analysis is employed to analyze the effect of the row number of thermal storage tubes, the air circulation rate and the air temperature on efficiency of wood drying in solar drying system with phase change material (PCM) thermal storage, the relative order of influencing factors on wood drying process is determined. It indicated that air temperature is the 1st key influencing factor in the solar drying system, followed by the air circulation rate, and then the row number of thermal storage tubes. This result is of practical significance for the optimization of the drying process.Abstract: The gray correlation analysis is employed to analyze the effect of the row number of thermal storage tubes, the air circulation rate and the air temperature on efficiency of wood drying in solar drying system with phase change material (PCM) thermal storage, the relative order of influencing factors on wood drying process is determined.

Abstract: As software cost estimation in software projects is a very difficult, confusing and challenging work for any software company and software cost estimation is the primary step to start any software project. It gives the overview of resources, efforts and time/schedule required for a software project in respect of cost to the software company. Software project success generally depends on software cost estimation as it provides us an initial idea of the track, challenges and risk involved in the software project development. The software cost estimation in software engineering is very challenging to match the actual cost of the software project with estimated cost. Effective software cost estimation can help software company make more consistent decisions in planning the software project risk. If the predicted estimates are wrong it may lead to negative results for a software company. Many software companies find, search and analyze software project performance by estimating software cost estimation accuracy. Unfortunately, regardless of the large body of experienced and skilled with estimation models, the accuracy of these models is not adequate. In this research paper observation on the performance of the software cost estimation methods and description of methodologies and technique used in to software project cost estimation included. This research paper give comparative comparison study of software cost estimation methods and reviews several classes of software cost estimation models and techniques. Also study the pros and cons of different software cost estimation modeling techniques.Abstract: As software cost estimation in software projects is a very difficult, confusing and challenging work for any software company and software cost estimation is the primary step to start any software project.
