Optimization for enhanced phytase production by Aspergillus oryzae SBS50 in submerged fermentation was investigated using Taguchi design. In first step design, starch, beef extract, magnesium sulphate, ferrous sulphate and Tween 80 were identified as significant factors affecting phytase production. These significant factors were further optimized at four different levels using a second Taguchi...

Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) is a non-traditional thermo-electric process capable of machining hard materials of highly complex three dimensional shapes. In this paper, the dry WEDM experimentation is conducted using oxygen as a dielectric medium. The deionized water is replaced by the oxygen as a dielectric medium to ameliorate the environmental impact in the machining surroundin...

127  AbstractAn Experiment is conducted to determine the effect of various parameters on performance of tube in oblique loading and optimize its crushing in the given environment..The Experiment was designed using Taguchi technique and the parameters like material density , tube thickness ,foam density and angle of loading were selected which have more influence on energy absorption ,specific ...
