The present review covers the heat transfer literature published in 2004 in English
language, including some translations of foreign language papers. Though extensive, some …

This chapter presents the details of existing optimization algorithms such as Genetic
Algorithm (GA), Artificial Immune Algorithm (AIA), Differential Evolution (DE), Biogeography …

In this work, a satellite heat pipe operated with the ammonia and methanol are investigated
for the multi-objective optimization. Optimization results are used for the comparative …

Heat pipe is a highly efficient and reliable heat transfer component. It is a closed container
designed to transfer a large amount of heat in system. Since the heat pipe operates on a …

Abstract Design of an effective and efficient PID controller to obtain high-quality
performances such as high stability and satisfied transient response is of great theoretical …

Recently, a general-purpose local-search heuristic method called extremal optimization
(EO) has been successfully applied to some NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems …

Any system which converts the thermal energy into mechanical energy or any other forms of
energy is known as a thermal system. Modeling of a thermal system always required the …

This paper presents a hybrid evolutionary algorithm with marriage of genetic algorithm (GA)
and extremal optimization (EO) for solving a class of production scheduling problems in …

A satellite design requires an optimization of multiple objectives such as performance,
reliability, and weight. To consider these objectives simultaneously, multi-objective …
