Thermochemical hydrolysis of macroalgae Ulva for biorefinery: Taguchi robust design method

Thermochemical hydrolysis of macroalgae Ulva for biorefinery: Taguchi robust design method

Understanding the impact of all process parameters on the efficiency of biomass hydrolysis and on the final yield of products is critical to biorefinery design. Using Taguchi orthogonal arrays experimental design and Partial Least Square Regression, we investigated the impact of change and the comparative significance of thermochemical process temperature, treatment time, %Acid and %Solid load ...

Robust Design and Taguchi Method Application

A Robust Design of MMIC using Taguchi Method

In this paper, we demonstrate a robust design of Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMIC) using Taguchi Method. In accordance with Taguchi Method, noise factors, which are uncontrollable sources of variation, and control factors, which are available to control both the deviations and the mean-values by circuit designers were assigned to an orthogonal array. We simulated radio frequency (...

Robust Design of SAW Gas Sensors by Taguchi Dynamic Method

This paper adopts Taguchi's signal-to-noise ratio analysis to optimize the dynamic characteristics of a SAW gas sensor system whose output response is linearly related to the input signal. The goal of the present dynamic characteristics study is to increase the sensitivity of the measurement system while simultaneously reducing its variability. A time- and cost-efficient finite element analysis...

PID robust control using Taguchi Method

The control of FOPD (first order plus delay) systems with high normalized time (ratio of time delay and time constant) is a very hard task, especially when the system parameters are subjected to variations. A great number of physical systems show such model behavior. In process control today, proportional integral derivative (PID) (continuous and digital) controllers still predominate and are s...
