For all industrial processes, modelling, optimisation and control are the keys to enhance productivity and ensure product quality. In the current study, the optimization of process parameters for improving the conversion of isoeugenol to vanillin by Psychrobacter sp. CSW4 was investigated by means of Taguchi approach and Box-Behnken statistical design under resting cell conditions. Taguchi desi...

several approaches are available to reduce pulsating torque components in permanent magnet motors. one of the known techniques is stator tooth shape modifications. this paper presents an integrated algorithm applicable for tooth shape optimization of permanent magnet motors. this method focuses on the reduced basis technique, finite element analysis and taguchi method and is conducted on tooth ...

The operating control parameters of injection flushing type of electrical discharge machining process on stainless steel 304 workpiece with copper tools are being optimized according to its individual machining characteristic i.e. material removal rate (MRR). Lower MRR during EDM machining process may decrease its’ machining productivity. Hence, the quality characteristic for MRR is set to high...

An experiment was conducted to compare the effects of ultrasonic and non-ultrasonic on glass lens using rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) technology. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the experimental results of the grinding operations using Taguchi method. Feed rate and frequency are the main process parameters to be tested in this experiment. A three-level orthogonal array tab...
