چکیده
An optimization method combining a genetic algorithm and the paralleling discrete ordinate code is developed applied to shielding design of Savannah reactor. Several approaches are studied cope with multi-objective problem, such as transforming into single-objective approach, non-dominated sorting approach adding constraints on sub-objectives. Comparing current methods, in this study shows better performance since calculations free statistical fluctuations. The sub-objectives seems have best performance. More optimized individuals satisfying can be obtained, objectives show improvements comparing initial design.

Multi-objective Genetic Optimization of Ethane Thermal Cracking Reactor
An industrial ethane thermal cracking reactor was modeled assuming a molecular mechanism for the reaction kinetics coupled with material, energy, and momentum balances of the reactant-product flow along the reactor. To carry out the multi-objective optimization for two objectives such as conversion and ethylene selectivity, the elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm was used. The Paret...
متن کاملEntropy-based multi-objective genetic algorithm for design optimization
Obtaining a fullest possible representation of solutions to a multiobjective optimization problem has been a major concern in Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGAs). This is because a MOGA, due to its very nature, can only produce a discrete representation of Pareto solutions to a multiobjective optimization problem that usually tend to group into clusters. This paper presents a new MOGA, o...

A new software tool making use of a genetic algorithm for multi-objective experimental optimization (GAME.opt) was developed based on a strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm. The software deals with high dimensional variable spaces and unknown interactions of design variables. This approach was evaluated by means of multi-objective test problems replacing the experimental results. A default pa...
متن کاملCellular Genetic Algorithm for Multi-Objective Optimization
In this paper, we show how cellular structures can be combined with a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) for improving its search ability to find Pareto-optimal solutions of multi-objective optimization problems. We propose an assignment method of a different search direction to each cell for implementing a cellular MOGA. In our cellular MOGA, every individual in each population exists in...
