The present study provides valuable information about interrelations of quality and process parameters at different values of the operating variables.
The model can guide the design of industrial tribo-aero-electrostatic separators and the choice of the optimum values of the operating variables of such equipment.
The observed limitations on operating conditions for this coater are explained by the failure of the desired steady-state to exist for all values of the operating parameters.
Working under optimal values of the operating conditions, the results showed that the operating energy and cost of the industrial process were reduced about 7.49% and 5.91%, respectively.
The response surface methodology was used to determine the optimum values of the operating variables for maximum yield of biofuels in the liquid product obtained.
The experimental results suggest that, even for such dramatic decreases in the values of the operating parameters, the turbine could still attain a peak efficiency of more than 55%, although at the expense of a significant decrease in speed.
Based on preliminary experiments and CCRD design, the ranges of values of the operating conditions were selected: temperature 33 67 °C, feed flow-rate 46 114 L/h, and concentration 83 92 wt% for IPA and 93 98 wt% for Et in feed mixtures.
The dependence of the overall process rate on the mass transfer coefficient is determined both analytically and numerically, for some chosen values of the operating parameters and for various conversion degrees.
Specifically, our strategy allows identifying the optimal values of the operating and design variables of the cycle that make it less sensitive to fluctuations in the energy price, thus improving its robustness in the face of uncertainty.
The optimization results also showed that high selectivity for phenol was achieved at the optimized values of the operating variables: reaction temperature 324 K, reaction time 8 h, H2O2 content 3.28 mL, and catalyst dosage 0.09 g.
