Automotive emission is becoming a critical threat to today’s human health. Many researchers are studying engine designs leading to less fuel consumption. Gearbox selection plays a key role in an engine design. In this study, Taguchi quality engineering method is employed, and optimum gear ratios in a five speed gear box is obtained. A table of various gear ratios is suggested by design o...

Along with the widespread use of Taguchi methods in product design, deenition of the loss function has been integrated with numerous models which require quality cost estimation. In this paper, the economic-statistical design of a variable sampling X-bar control chart is extended using the Taguchi loss function to improve chart eeectiveness from a quality cost point of view. The eeectiveness of...

In this study conditions of refinement of car wash effluent from Paniz station in omidiyeh, Khuzestan by microfiltration polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF- MFB) membrane with pore size 0.13 micrometer by taguchi method was investigated. Taguchi method has been applied to investigate the effect of various operating parameters such as feed pressure at 3 levels (0.4, 0.7 and 1.00 bars), feed Flow rate...
