The growing dominance in terms of industrial applications has helped polymer-based composite materials conquering new markets relentlessly. But the presence fibrous residuals and abrasive particles as reinforcement polymer matrix composites (PMCs) affects output quality characteristics (OQCs) microdrilling operations. OQC aims at reducing overcuts momentous material removal rate (MRR). In such ...

This paper deals with a proposal for joint modeling and process optimization split-plot designs analyzed through mixed response surface models. It addresses the following main issues: i) building of responsesurface model multiple situation, by defining only one which specific coefficients areincluded studying association among responses; ii) considering fixed as well random effects within conte...

saturated fat consumption increases the risk of both coronary and cancer diseases. therefore, fat reduction in uf-feta cheese (≈ 45% fdm) is favorable but, unfortunately, it has some negative effects on the texture and sensory characteristics of the cheese. in this research, response surface methodology was employed to study the probably improving effects of wpc80 (0-20 gr kg-1), lecithin (0-2 ...

The conventional process of machining nitinol alloy which possesses excess strain hardening and low thermal conductivity makes a complex that leads to extensive wear on the tool inadequate surface quality. Wire-electro-discharge (WEDM) is widely accepted for this involving various input factors, namely, P (pulse-on-duration), Q (pulse-off-duration), C, (maximum-current), V (voltage). Using PSO ...

The influence of extraction temperature, powder concentration, and extraction time on the antioxidant properties of aqueous ginger extract was investigated. The possibility of estimating the antioxidant properties of the extract from its absorbance and colour properties was also investigated. Results indicated that powder concentration was the most significant factor to consider in optimizing a...
