Abstract:

The present research reviews two basic approaches for the separation circuit configuration analysis. The first approach is to optimize the circuit configuration. In this method, after a circuit modeling, a variety of search algorithms and mathematical optimization methods are used. Previous works show that this approach has more application in the flotation process. The second approach called the circuit analysis, evaluates the circuit configuration by considering a transfer function for each separation unit. This method provides great freedom for conducting a variety of investigations on the separation circuits.

A heuristic method for combined optimization of layout design and cluster configuration in continuous productions

Facility layout problems have been generally solved either hierarchically or integrated into other phases of plant design. In this paper, a hybrid method is introduced so that clustering and facilities layout can be simultaneously optimized. Each cluster is formed by a group of connected facilities and selection of the most appropriate cluster configuration is aimed. Since exact method by MIP i...

Multidisciplinary Aerospace Design Optimization: Survey of Recent Developments

The increasing complexity of engineering systems has sparked increasing interest in multdisciplinary optimization (MDO). This paper presents a survey of recent publications in the field of aerospace where interest in MDO has been particularly intense. The two main challenges of MDO are computational expense and organizational complexity. Accordingly the survey is focused on various ways differe...

On recent developments in marginal separation theory

Thin aerofoils are prone to localized flow separation at their leading edge if subjected to moderate angles of attack α. Although 'laminar separation bubbles' at first do not significantly alter the aerofoil performance, they tend to 'burst' if α is increased further or if perturbations acting upon the flow reach a certain intensity. This then either leads to global flow separation (stall) or t...
