Three examples of response surface modeling with CFD are presented for combined cycle propulsion components. The examples include a mixed-compression-inlet during hypersonic flight, a hydrogen-fueled scramjet combustor during hypersonic flight, and a ducted-rocket nozzle during all-rocket flight. Three different experimental strategies were examined, including full factorial, fractionated centr...

In the operation of continuous processes, many tasks require the knowledge of plant steady state at various operating points. This is for example the case in the context of kinetic modeling, response surface modeling and real-time optimization. If the computational techniques are in principle straightforward, the time needed to reach steady state represents the main limiting factor. This work p...

In the last tenyears, the use andapplications ofmathematicalmodellinghave increased inchemistry and food science and technology. However, it is still common to find researchers using the ‘one at a time’ approach to test and select variables to develop and optimize products and processes. In this regard, the objectives of this review are to provide some statistical information related to mathema...

background: car wash waste water contains several contaminants such as organic matter, oil, grease, detergents and phosphates, all of which are harmful for the environment. in this study, the application of electrocoagulation (ec) to treat car wash waste water has been studied, and the operating parameters optimized. the electro-fenton (ef) for further contaminant removal was also investigated....

an efficient method was employed for the ash and pyrite sulphur removal from bitumen using column flotation process. the bitumen samples containing 9.6% sulphur (6.81% in the pyrite sulphur form) and 26.4% ash were successfully showed up to 75.20% of pyrite sulphur (e.g.; 51.66% of total sulphur) and 70.81% of ash removal. the box-behnken design (bbd) was employed to design the experiments, to ...

for all industrial processes, modelling, optimisation and control are the keys to enhance productivity and ensure product quality. in the current study, the optimization of process parameters for improving the conversion of isoeugenol to vanillin by psychrobacter sp. csw4 was investigated by means of taguchi approach and box-behnken statistical design under resting cell conditions. taguchi desi...
