the taguchi method was applied as an experimental design to determine optimum conditions for colour removal from azo dyes solutions containing remazol yellow g by electrocoagulation (ec) using iron and steel electrodes as anode and cathode, respectively. an orthogonal array (oa9) experimental design that allows to investigation the simultaneous variations of four parameters (initial remazol ye...

a hydrophilic macromolecular network is prepared by performing graft copolymerization of poly (sodium acrylate) chains onto salep and silica gel. the reaction parameters affecting the water absorbency of the superabsorbent composite were optimized using taguchi method. ft-ir spectroscopy and thermo gravimetric analysis (tga) were used for confirming the structure of the final product and morpho...

bioedegradable nanoparticles are intensively investigated for their potential applications in drug delivery systems. being a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, chitosan holds great promise for use in this area. this investigation was concerned with determination and optimization of the effective parameters involved in the production of chitosan nanoparticles using ionic gelation method. s...

for many physical systems like vehicles, acceleration can be easily measured for the respective states. however, the outputs are usually affected by stochastic noise disturbance. the mentioned systems are often sensitive to noise and structural uncertainties. furthermore, it is very difficult to estimate the multiple integrals of the signal, acceleration to velocity and velocity to position. in...

Determination of optimal conditions of machining parameters is important to reduce the production cost and achieve the desired surface quality. This paper investigates the influence of cutting parameters on surface roughness and natural frequency in turning of aluminum alloy AA2024. The experiments were performed at the lathe machine using two different cutting tools made of AISI 5140 and carbi...

In this paper, a hybrid Taguchi-immune algorithm (HTIA) is presented to deal with the unit commitment problem. HTIA integrates the Taguchi method and the traditional immune algorithm (TIA), providing a powerful global exploration capability. Taguchi method (TM) has been widely used in experimental designs for problems with multiple parameters, and is incorporated into TIA in this paper for the ...

The process of material cutting and fracture by high velocity water jets is a complex series of phenomena which may involve compression, tension, shear, erosion, wears, cracking, wave propagation, and cavitations damage. This makes the exact analysis of the jet cutting process to be very complicated. The problem of water jet coal cutting is a multiresponse problem. There are two output variable...
