T study demonstrates the advantages of using a real coded genetic algorithm (GA) for aerospace engineering design applications. The GA developed for this study runs steady state, meaning that after every function evaluation the worst performer is determined and that worst performer is then thrown out and replaced by a new member that has been evaluated. The new member is produced by mating two ...

BACKGROUND Current pressurised metered dose asthma inhaler (pMDI) propellants are not inert pharmacologically as were previous chlorofluorocarbons, have smooth muscle relaxant' partial pressure effects in the lungs and inhaled hydrofluoroalkane 134a (norflurane) has anaesthetic effects. Volumes of propellant gas per actuation have never been measured. METHODS In-vitro studies measured gas vol...

The supercharger is intended for heating a fluid (gaseous helium or gaseous nitrogen) used the pressurization of fuel tanks oxidizer and propellant rocket engine. heated with generator gas downstream turbine. A increased channel surface roughness was made according to an additive technology. High one features producing parts by selective laser melting. article presents method calculating heat t...
