Design Optimization of Flameless-oxyfuel Soaking Pit Furnace Using CFD Technique

Improving the Design of Sails Using Cfd and Optimization Algorithms

Two current Stanford Yacht Research projects are presented, both related to the analysis and design of upwind sails, and part of a larger research effort to develop efficient and robust sail and hull shape optimisation methods. First, we discuss the in-house development of a methodology to predict and improve the flying shape and forces on America's Cup sails. We adapted and parallelized a 3D u...

A Multi-stage Compressor Design Optimization Using Cfd

∗ E-mail: [email protected] # Tel: (216) 433-5855 Fax: (216) 433-5802 E-mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTION A multi-stage compressor design is a typical multiobjective problem (MOP) involving some competing objectives such as maximization of efficiency, maximization of total pressure ratio, maximization of mass flow rate, minimization of weight, maximization of durability, e...

Open pit limit optimization using dijkstra’s algorithm

In open-pit mine planning, the design of the most profitable ultimate pit limit is a prerequisite to developing a feasible mining sequence. Currently, the design of an ultimate pit is achieved through a computer program in most mining companies. The extraction of minerals in open mining methods needs a lot of capital investment, which may take several decades. Before the extraction, the p...

Oxyfuel Coal Combustion Power Plant System Optimization

Oxyfuel-firing of a steam boiler is a low risk high-efficiency technique for CO2 capture in a power plant. Oxyfuel-firing can be readily adapted to a new power plant or to retrofit applications. Development and design of pulverized coal and circulating fluidized bed oxyfuel boilers and balance of plant equipment have been conducted to identify the required specific features, which will maximize...
