A simulated crude distillation unit is chosen as case study, and several linear steady-state estimators are designed and compared in terms of accuracy and consistency, i.e. the estimator ability of guaranteeing low closed-loop offset.
In the present study, four Support Vector Machine-based (SVM-based) approaches and the standard artificial neural network (ANN) model were designed and compared in modelling the exergetic parameters of a DI diesel engine running on diesel/biodiesel blends containing expanded polystyrene (EPS) wastes.
The electromagnetic radiation of three types of antenna arrays, such as planar, three-segmented and circular are designed, analyzed and compared in view of their applications in communication systems for THz applications.
In this work, two biorefineries based on oil palm were designed, assessed and compared in order to establish the best route to transforms this feedstock into biodiesel, alcohols and other added value products.
A new hip resurfacing prosthesis design was assessed and compared in terms of kinematics and contact stress regarding to the conventional hip resurfacing prosthesis.
Three types of coarse aggregate material, i.e., class 600 shale ceramsite, class 800 shale ceramsite and hollow sealed thin-wall steel balls, were selected to design the LWAC and compared in the experiments.
Therefore in this research the traditional DOE methods, including the central composite rotatable design, the factorial design and the modern design method such as the uniform design and the optimal design method, were studied and compared in an application for modelling ventilation rate of an NVB.
