This is a working paper, describing work that the two of us have done over the course of 2016 and the beginning of 2017, developing in some detail an analysis of some aspects of inflectional morphology. In most respects this work continues the development of work in this area over the past fifty or more years, but in one or two important ways our approach is different. We believe that a geometr...

a new method of optimization on linear parabolic solar collectors using exergy analysis is presented. a comprehensive mathematical modeling of thermal and optical performance is simulated and geometrical and thermodynamic parameters were assumed as optimization variables. by applying a derived expression for exergy efficiency, exergy losses were generated and the optimum design and operating co...

This work presents a different use of COMSOL, not only as a simulation platform for engineering tasks, but also as an integrated component of a computational AI tool framework used to automate designs creation. CNS-Burst is a computational synthesis method used to create solutions to an assigned design task. This search method, iteratively applied, finds design alternatives and represents them ...

The blade shape is of great interest to hybrid turbine designers, due its significant and direct impact on performance. inlet outlet diameters the vane affect size rotor, which limited because small space available in internal combustion engines. effect ratio average diameter exducer performance a mixed will be focus this study, consists two cases included herein for purpose illustrating means ...

This paper deals with the economic optimization of reinforced concrete road vaults and with the optimization of rectangular hollow section bridge piers typically used in road construction. It shows the efficiency of a heuristic optimization by the threshold accepting algorithm. The evaluation of solutions follows the Spanish Code for structural concrete. Design loads are in accordance to the na...
