abstract = "Quantitative risk analysis for process safety often requires reliability and availability analysis of process systems. Although most systems are operated under changing conditions, conventional methods use reliability models with constant parameters only, and thus average operating conditions should be applied. Furthermore, a simplified availability equation is frequently used. Case studies indicate that using an average operating condition for reliability or using a simplified availability equation can cause a serious error. A rigorous method is proposed in this work which is suitable for solving the exact availability equation using the reliability under changing operating conditions.",
