permanent magnet synchronous motors are efficient motors, which have widespread applications in electric industry due to their noticeable features. one of the interesting applications of such motors is in underwater vehicles. in these cases, reaching to minimum volume and high torque of the motor are the major concern. design optimization can enhance their merits considerably, thus reduce volum...

incorporation of functional foods and nutraceuticals such as carotenoids which suffer from poor water solubility and low bioavailability into nano-sized delivery systems can improve their solubility, stability and oral bioavailability. the aim of this study was to prepare β-carotene nanodispersion and investigate the effects of preparation parameters by means of response surface methodology usi...

methyl tertiary butyl ether (mtbe) is known as a promising substitute for tetra ethyl lead (tel) in order to increase the octane number of gasoline. mtbe process, as many other processes, has two distinguished section, namely reaction section and separation section. in this paper we focus only on synthesis and optimization of separation section of this process. in order to achieve this objectiv...

nowadays, the environmental impact of transportation project and, especially air pollution impacts, are major concerns in evaluating transportation projects. based on this concern, beside definition of traditional objective functions like total travel time and total investment cost, different type of environmental related function is considered as objective function in urban network design. in ...

this paper presents a relatively new management model for the optimal design and operation of irrigation water pumping systems. the model makes use of the newly introduced particle swarm optimization algorithm. a two step optimization model is developed and solved with the particle swarm optimization method. the model first carries out an exhaustive enumeration search for all feasible sets of p...

the objective of the current study was to develop and optimize a sublingual tablet formulation of captopril which is an effective drug in the treatment of hypertension. captopril containing tablets were prepared by direct compression method using different ingredients such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone, starch 1500, sodium starch glycolate and lactose (independent variables) and magnesium stearate, ...

Permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) have a huge potential for direct-drive wind power applications. Therefore, optimal design of these generators is necessary to maximize their efficiency and to reduce their manufacturing cost and total volume. In this paper, an optimal design of a six-phase 3.5 KW direct-drive PMSG to generate electricity for domestic needs is performed. The aim of ...
