;
A Bayesian Zero-Failure (BAZE) reliability demonstration testing procedure is developed. The procedure may be used to verify component failure rates associated with both real-time dependent and cycle-dependent chance failure mechanisms. A constant falure-rate model with a gamma prior distribution is assumed. The procedure is used to obtain sample test plans for components of a proposed Rankine power conversion system.
