Special Issue: Thermodynamic Optimization, Exergy Analysis, and Constructal Design

Evolutionary Optimization for Intelligent Systems Design J.UCS Special Issue

Evolutionary Optimization is becoming omnipresent technique in almost every process of intelligent system design. Just to name few, engineering, control, economics and forecasting are some of the scientific fields that take advantage of an evolutionary computational process that aid in engineering systems with intelligent behavior. This special issue of Journal of Universal Computer Science is ...

Foreword: Special Issue on Variational Analysis, Optimization, and their Applications

This issue of Mathematical Programming, Series B, is dedicated to the life and work of R. Tyrrell Rockfellar on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Terry (as he is know to his friends) was born in Wisconsin in 1935, and received his Bachelor and Doctoral degrees at Harvard University. The title of his 1963 Ph.D. thesis, “Convex functions and dual extremal problems,” indicated the area of his fir...

Utility of thermodynamic (exergy-exergy) analysis in cryogenic systems for liquefaction of gases: A Review

The exergy efficiency depend upon mainly upon the inlet condition of the system because inlet condition best suit for a particular type of the system except to increase the whole system efficiency stresses are done on particular parts of system and research are done on that systems. It was observed that that every part of system has its own and equal importance because ones effect on another wh...

Thermodynamic and Exergy Analysis of a Combined Power and Desalination Plant

Making potable water through desalination plants is a very important process in Iran where clean water is highly required. On the other hand, large amount of fossil fuel sources leads to the development of gas turbine power plants all over the country. Furthermore, Persian Gulf in the south and Caspian Sea in the north could be the main sources for supplying potable water in water scarcity area...
