Abstract The chapter introduces linear programming, arguably the most used optimization method applicable when all model terms are linear. Graphical solution approaches to solve two-variable models illustrate how programming algorithms containing many more variables as typical of real-world problems.

rainfall-runoff modeling is most important component in the water resource management of river basins. the successful application of a conceptual rainfall-runoff model depends on how well it is calibrated. the degree of difficulty in solving the global optimization method is generally dependent on the dimensionality of the model and certain of the characteristics of object function. the purpose...

The objective of this work is to predict the temperature of the different types of walls which are Ferro cement wall, reinforced cement concrete (RCC) wall and two types of cavity walls (combined RCC with Ferrocement and combined two Ferro cement walls) with the help of mathematical modeling. The property of low thermal transmission of small air gap between the constituents of combine materials...

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...

for large and complex reacting systems, computational efficiency becomes a critical issue in process simulation, optimization and model-based control. mechanism simplification is often a necessity to improve computational speed. we present a novel approach to simplification of reaction networks that formulates the model reduction problem as an optimization problem and solves it using genetic al...

This study concerns numerical simulation, modeling and optimization of aerodynamic stall control using a synthetic jet actuator. Thenumerical simulation was carried out by a large-eddy simulation that employs a RNG-based model as the subgrid-scale model. The flow around a NACA0015 airfoil, including a synthetic jet located at 10 % of the chord, is studied under Reynolds number Re = 12.7 × 106 a...

In this article, modeling and optimization of power consumption of two–stage compressed air system has been investigated. To do so, the two – stage compressed air cycle with intercooler of FAJR Petroleum Company was considered. This cycle includes two centrifugal compressors, a shell, and a tube intercooler. For modeling of power consumption, actual compressors isentropic efficiencies and inter...
