Inverse methods are often used in heat transfer analysis to determine parameters which are difficult or impossible to measure directly, from carefully selected experimental measurements which can be more easily carried out. In this type of procedure,-there are often a large number of boundary conditions which can affect the outcome. Often it is impractical, or even impossible, to accurately mea...

Laccase production by Coriolopsis caperata RCK2011 under solid state fermentation was optimized following Taguchi design of experiment. An orthogonal array layout of L18 (2(1) × 3(7)) was constructed using Qualitek-4 software with eight most influensive factors on laccase production. At individual level pH contributed higher influence, whereas, corn steep liquor (CSL) accounted for more than 50...

This investigation proposes a grey-based Taguchi method to solve the multi-response problems. The grey-based Taguchi method is based on the Taguchi’s design of experimental method, and adopts grey relational analysis (GRA) to transfer multiresponse problems into single-response problems. In this investigation, an attempt has been made to optimize the drilling process parameters considering weig...

The effects of geometric parameters on the mixing performance of a staggered herringbone mixer (SHM) with patterned grooves are numerically investigated. Combining use of the software package CFD-ACE+ and the Taguchi method provides a powerful and systematic approach for research on microfluidics. An orthogonal array L9(3(4)) is established for parameters introduced by the groove geometry; in t...

Abstract There are a variety of uses for metal matrix composites (MMC), including the aerospace and automotive industries. Because their benefits light weight inexpensive cost, they popular. Wire cut electric discharge machining (WEDM) stands out as great option creating complex or complicated shapes composite materials, especially when compared to other common non-traditional processes. An AA6...
