The optimal design of a plate-fin recuperator of a 200-kW microturbine was studied in this paper. The exergy efficiency, pressure drop and total cost were selected as the three important objective functions of the recuperator. Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) were respectively employed for single-objective and multi-objective optimizations. By opt...

We consider an open shop scheduling problem with setup and processing times separately such that not only the setup times are dependent on the machines, but also they are dependent on the sequence of jobs that should be processed on a machine. A novel bi-objective mathematical programming is designed in order to minimize the total tardiness and the makespan. Among several mult...

Abstract Mobile data network is featured by long delay and moving terminals, which affect the user service quality performance of transmission control protocol’s (TCP) congestion algorithm Vegas. To solve this problem, paper first proposed to optimise using a genetic algorithm, build ns-3 topology structure adopt mobile trace for optimisation simulation; Vegas problem as multivariate dual-objec...

This paper introduces a novel multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on cat swarm optimizationalgorithm (EMCSO) and its application to solve a multi-objective knapsack problem. The multi-objective optimizers try to find the closest solutions to true Pareto front (POF) where it will be achieved by finding the less-crowded non-dominated solutions. The proposed method applies cat swarm optim...

this paper presents an innovative active power filter design method to simultaneously compensate the current harmonics and reactive power of a nonlinear load. the power filter integrates a passive power filter which is a rl low-pass filter placed in series with the load, and an active power filter which comprises an rl in series with an igbt based voltage source converter. the filter is assumed...

In this paper an accurate method is presented for determining of the device sizes in a RF circuit based on genetic algorithm (GA). HSPICE RF simulation is used for evaluating of the fitness of the circuit specifications per every iteration of the GA. Also an example for a LNA is presented for evaluating of non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) as a method of multi objective genetic ...

The aim of this paper is to investigate and optimize surface quality and geometrical characteristics in drilling process of AISI H13 steel, because they are critical items for precision manufacturing. After conducting the experiments, two regression models are developed to extensively evaluate the effect of drilling parameters on process outputs. After that, evolutionary multi-objective optimiz...

in this paper, a multi-objective reconfiguration problem has been solved simultaneously by a modified ant colony optimization algorithm. two objective functions, real power loss and energy not supplied index (ens), were utilized. multi-objective modified ant colony optimization algorithm has been generated by adding non-dominated sorting technique and changing the pheromone updating rule of ori...
