In this paper, the response surface method using three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis to optimize the shape of a multi-blade centrifugal fan, is described. For numerical analysis, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with standard k - c turbulence model are transformed into non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system, and are discretized with finite volume approximations. Due to the large number of blades in this centrifugal fan, the flow inside of the fan is regarded as steady flow by introducing the impeller force models for economic calculations. Linear Upwind Differencing Scheme(LUDS) is used to approximate the convection terms in the governing equations. SIMPLEC algorithm is used as a velocity-pressure correction procedure. Design variables, location of cur off, radius of cut off, expansion angle of scroll and width of impeller were selected to optimize the shapes of scroll and blades. Data points for response evaluations were selected by D-optimal design, and linear programming method was used for the optimization on the response surface. As a main result of the optimization, the efficiency was successfully improved. It was found that the optimization process provides reliable design of this kind of fans with reasonable computing time.

본 연구에서는 근사모델을 이용하여 설계공간의 타당성을 높일 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 이때 설계공간을 이동시키기 위한 기준으로 Chebyshev Inequality를 사용하였다. 이를 공탄성을 고려한 항공기 익형 설계문제에 적용함으로써 타당성이 크게 향상됨을 확인하였으며 이렇게 구한 설계공간 내에서 최적화를 수행함으로써 보다 우수한 최적값도 얻을 수 있었다. 즉 설계공간 내에서 주어진 제약조건을 만족할 확률이 증가하였으며, 설계공간을 이동시킴으로써 보다 우수한 최적점이 설계공간 내에 포함되었다고 할 수 있다. 또한 이 과정에서 반응면 모델과 크리깅 모델, 두 가지 근사모델을 사용하여 정확성과 효율성, 실험점에 대한 강건성 등을 비교하였으며, 본 연구에서 설계한 문제의 경우 비교적 선형적인 특징으로 인해 반응면이 보다 우수한 결과를 보여줌을 확인하였다.

In this study a method for a robust design of mechanisms is proposed. The method used in the experimental analysis and quality engineering is applied for mechanisms design. A mathematical model for a mechanism is estimated by the response surface analysis and the estimated model is used in minimization of the variance. Using this result, robust design can be carried out. The method can be applied for general mechansims. Furthermore because the method can be used in the design stage using the computer model, improved quality and lower cost of the product is achieved even in the design stage.

To improve phenylalanine ammonia lyase (E.C.4.3.1.5-PAL) activity in recombinant Escherichia coli, Some approaches for improving phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activity in recombinant E. coli were developed following preliminary studies by means of response surface method. The results shown that permeabilization with combination of Triton X-100, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), and acetone enriched cellular recombinant PAL activity significantly, which improved over 10-fold as compared with the control (untreat cell), as high as 181.37 U/g. The optimum values for the tested variables were Triton X-100 0.108 g/L, CTAB 0.15 g/L, and acetone 45.2%(v/v). Furthermore, a second-order model equation was suggested and then validated experimentally. It was indicated that addition of surfactants and organic solvents made the cells more permeable and therefore allowed easier access of the substrate to the enzyme and excretion of the product, which increased the rate of transport of L-phenylalanine and trans-cinnamic acids. These improved methods of PAL activity enrichment could serve as a rich enzyme source, especially in the biosynthesis of L-phenylalanine.

In the present study, the air jet flow characteristics of the dryer in the automatic car wash machine were numerically predicted by commercial CFD code. The effects of the dryer shape and the nozzle width variations on the performance of the automatic car wash machine were discussed. To optimize the geometric parameters, the response surface method(RSM) with CFD was used. Predicted jet velocity distributions for the optimized geometry were compared with experimental data and the comparisons show generally good agreements. Also, the performance of the dryer was improved with the optimized results.

This paper describes the shape optimization of a stator blade in a single-stage transonic axial compressor. The blade optimization has been performed using response surface method and three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis. Two shape variables of the stator blade, which are used to define a stacking line, are introduced to increase an adiabatic efficiency. Data points for response evaluations have been selected by D-optimal design, and linear programming method has been used for an optimization on a response surface. Throughout the shape optimization of a stator blade, the adiabatic efficiency is increased to 5.8 percent compared to that of the reference shape of the stator. The increase of the efficiency is mainly caused by the pressure enhancement in the stator blade. Flow separation on the blade suction surface of the stator is also improved by optimizing the stator blade. It is noted that the optimization of the stator blade is also useful method to increase the adiabatic efficiency in the axial compressor as well as the optimization of a rotor blade, which is widely used now.

In the present paper, fowler flap was optimized to maximize the lift with response surface method. Leading edge shape and the gap between main airfoil and flap, were optimized and the aerodynamic characteristics was improved considerably. The optimized flap has more rounded leading edge and bigger gap. Before angle of attack, $10^{\circ}$, lift and drag are improved and the optimized flap shows similar aerodynamic characteristics to the original flap. The flow condition for optimization was angle of attack, $10^{\circ}$, Mach number, 0.2, flap deflection, $40^{\circ}$.

Increased application of optical disks requires more improved dynamic stability of rotating disks. In this study, a new concept of controlling the processing conditions of injection molded disks was developed to improve vibration characteristics. The critical speed, which shows stiffness and dynamic stability of disk, is affected by the residual stress distribution; this varies as functions of distance from the gate and processing condition. The critical speed of disk was calculated with the initial stress taken into consideration, which was determined from injection molding simulation. Choosing melt temperature, mold temperature, filling speed and packing pressure as design parameters, critical speed is maximized with the method of response surface. It is shown that the stability of injection molded disk has been improved for the new condition obtained as a result of the study proposed.

This paper aims to obtain the effect of lightweight on Radius rod. The response surface method used in the paper is the statistical method. Optimization method is performed with the Radius rod using the lightweight material. Structural analysis is executed by using the ANSYS program to find static and dynamic responses. From this study result, it is verified that the response surface method has the advantage of optimum value in comparison with other optimization methods. The analysis is also performed by response surface method to derive optimal design values. Steel model and aluminium initial model are obtained by finite element analysis to clarify design criteria and the results are compared with three models each other. The weights can be reduced by optimal design analysis results of these models similar to those of existing products. The quantitative goals in this study can also attained through results of fatigue analyses. The reliability on optimal design of Radius rod can be improved by use of structural and fatigue analysis results.
