An Informed Operator Based Genetic Algorithm for Tuning the Reaction Rate Parameters of Chemical Kinetics Mechanisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
A reduced model technique based on a reduced number of numerical simulations at a subset of operating conditions for a perfectly stirred reactor is developed in order to increase the rate of convergence of a genetic algorithm (GA) used for determining new reaction rate parameters of chemical kinetics mechanisms. The genetic algorithm employed uses perfectly stirred reactor, laminar premixed flame and ignition delay time data in the inversion process in order to produce efficient reaction mechanisms that are valid for a wide range of combustion processes and various operating conditions.

متن کاملA Novel Experimental Analysis of the Minimum Cost Flow Problem
In the GA approach the parameters that influence its performance include population size, crossover rate and mutation rate. Genetic algorithms are suitable for traversing large search spaces since they can do this relatively fast and because the mutation operator diverts the method away from local optima, which will tend to become more common as the search space increases in size. GA’s are base...
