M simulation practitioners can get more from their analyses by using the statistical theory on design of experiments (DOE) developed specifically for exploring computer models. We discuss a toolkit of designs for simulators with limited DOE expertise who want to select a design and an appropriate analysis for their experiments. Furthermore, we provide a research agenda listing problems in the d...

Design of Experiments (DoE) is an indispensable tool in contemporary drug analysis as it simultaneously balances a number chromatographic parameters to ensure optimal separation High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). This manuscript briefly outlines the theoretical background DOE and provides step-by-step instruction for its implementation HPLC pharmaceutical practice. It particularly disc...

Title of Dissertation: Single and Multiresponse Adaptive Design of Experiments with Application to Design Optimization of Novel Heat Exchangers Vikrant Chandramohan Aute Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Shapour Azarm, Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering Engineering design optimization often involves complex computer simulations. Optimization with such simulation models can be ...

In presented paper a design model is developed which is used to find an optimal design space in order to improve precision and accuracy of reversed 3D models. Significant parameters and their mutual effects in scanning process are recognized with the help of Design of Experiments (DOE) principles, and in second step recognized significant parameters are also optimized using the RSM (Response Su...

: Unwanted water production from oil and gas reservoirs is a serious problem for producers. Preformed particle gel (PPG) treatment is a benefit approach to control excess water production. Swelling percentage of PPG samples in saline water is a key factor affecting the efficiency of the water conformance process. In this study, an efficient series of PPGs were synthesized and their swelling beh...

The oil content of the wax produced in a dewaxing process is the key economic parameter that should be reduced as much as possible. Some factors such as the type of solvents, cooling rate, temperature, and solvent to oil ratio influence the dewaxing process. Due to the fact that crude oil differs from place to place and since the operational conditions for wax extraction vary for different type...

background and objectives: microbial caffeine removal is a green solution for treatment of caffeinated products and agro-industrial effluents. we directed this investigation to optimizing a bio-decaffeination process with growing cultures of pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes through taguchi methodology which is a structured statistical approach that can be lowered variations in a process through de...

In this study, a combined electro-(Fenton/coagulation/flotation) (EF/EC/El) process was studied via degradation of Disperse Orange 25 (DO25) organic dye as a case study. Influences of seven operational parameters on the dye removal efficiency (DR%) were measured: initial pH of the solution (pH0), applied voltage between the anode and cathode (V), initial ferrous ion concentration (CFe), initial...
