Abstract While Multi-objective Optimization (MOO) has provided many methods and tools for
solving design problems, food processes have benefitted little from them. MOO …

Evaporators are one of the most important equipment in the food process industries such as
sugar, fruit juices, dairy products, edible oils, tomato paste, and coffee. They need a lot of …

Le taux d'accès aux services d'énergies modernes et principalement à l'électricité aussi bien
en milieu rural que urbain en Afrique sub-saharienne est très faible. La proportion de …

In order to achieve the goal of suppressing the steam-carrying effect and improving energy
conversion efficiency by adjusting the flash speed, this paper conducted an experimental …

The design of batch food processing plants is complex which requires the use of advanced
simulation and optimisation methods. This paper presents how existing methods for multi …

Air cooling systems that make use of the energy storage potential of the latent heat of Phase
Change Materials (PCMs) are alternatives to conventional air-conditioning units for …

A real-scale latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) device has been designed and set
up for air-cooling in the housing sector. This system uses the thermal gap between night …

In this paper, an original trade-off function is proposed to deal with robust design in
engineering. Robust design in engineering aims at sizing systems with a low variation in all …

This paper presents a multiobjective optimization method specifically adapted to the design
of food processes. It is illustrated with the design of an innovative radiant plate hot-smoking …

ABSTRACT A multi-objective response surface methodology (RSM) based on a desirability
function analysis (DFA) was used to model and optimize the operational parameters of …
