Step feed process was analyzed stoichiometrically for the optimal operation conditions in this study. In case of optimal operation conditions, minimum R (sludge recycling) value, r (internal recycling ratio) value, and n (influent allocation ratio) value for the step feed process to acquire the maximum TN removal efficiency were identified by theoretical analysis. Maximum TN removal efficiency, based on stoichiometric reaction, can be obtained by controlling n value for the step feed process.

This study is numerical analysis about optimal conditions of GDICI (gasoline direct injection compression ignition) engine operation using intake preheating. Numerical modeling was performed by using the KIVA-3V Release2 code integrated Chemkin chemistry solver II. For validation of numerical model, experiments were performed on a single-cylinder engine. Throughout the numerical simulations under variable conditions, the ranges of optimal conditions were found.

The optimal operation condition of gasifier is one of the most important parameters to increase efficiency and reliability in IGCC plant. Also the prediction of the syngas composition and quantity must be predicted to carry out process design of the gasification plant. However, the gasifier process licensor are protective with information on process design and optimal gasifier design conditions. So, the most of process studies in the engineering company for gasification plant have carried out to look for key parameters and optimal design conditions using several prediction methods. In this paper, we present the estimated preliminary optimal operation condition of the 300MW Demonstration Entrain Flow Gasifier using Aspen Plus. The gasifier operation temperature considering slag flow was predicted by FactSage software and Annen Model.

Inconel 718 alloy, widely used as material of aircraft engine, has a good mechanical property in high temperature, strong anti-oxidation characteristics in oxidated current over $900^{\circ}C$, and also is not easily digested in the air containing sulfur, therefore, its usage as mechanical component is expanding rapidly. Even though Inconel alloy 718 is difficult to machine, it requires highly precise processing/machining to sustain its component quality of high accuracy. In this paper, general turning operation conditions are tested to select the best cutting process condition by measuring surface roughness through implementing experiments with orthogonal array of cutting speed, feeding speed and cutting depth as processing parameters based on the Taguchi method. Optimal turning operation conditions are extracted from the proposed experimental models.

Buildings are mostly under part load conditions causing an inefficient system operation in terms of energy consumption. It is critical to operate building air-conditioning system with a scientific or optimal manner which minimizes energy consumption and maintains thermal comfort by matching building sensible and latent loads. Little research has been performed in developing general methodologies for the optimal operation of air-conditioning system. Based on this research motivation, system simulation program was developed by adopting various equipment operating strategies which are energy efficient especially for humidity control in summer. A numerical optimization technique was utilized to search optimal solution for multi-independent variables and then linked to the developed system simulation model within a mam program. The main goal of the study is to provide a systematic framework and guideline for the optimal operation of air-conditioning system focusing on air-side. For given cooling loads and ambient outdoor conditions the optimal operating strategies of a commercial building are determined by minimizing a constrained objective function by a nonlinear programming technique. Desired space setpoint conditions were found through evaluating the trade-offs between comfort and system power consumption. The results show that supply airflow rate and compressor fraction play main roles in the optimization process. It was found that variable setpoint optimization technique could produce lower indoor humidity level demanding less power consumption which will be benefits for building applications of humidity problem.

This paper presents an efficient algorithm for the reactive planning of transmission network under normal operating conditions. The optimal operation of a power system is a prerequisite to obtain the optimal investment planning. The operation problem is decomposed into a P-optimization module and a Q-optimization module, but both modules use the same objective function of generation cost. In the investment problem, a new variable decomposition technique is adopted which can operate the operation and the investment variables. The optimization problem is solved by using the gradient projection method (GPM).

For the identification of the optimal operating conditions of phosphoric acid plant, an intelligent simulation was performed based on the dissolution reaction of phosphate rock. A phosphoric acid plant consists of three main processes : ball-mill grinding process, rock reaction process and slurry filteration process. The grinding and filteration processes are relatively simple processes and most of the simulation works are on the reaction process. The practical operation data of phosphoric acid plant at Namhae Chemical Corp. were utilized in the simulation. The operation of the phosphoric acid plant is highly dependent on the heuristics of operators and so the expert system technology was employed. The operation of phosphoric acid plant varies with the origin of phosphate rock. Results of the simulation showed the optimal values of major process variables and optimal operating conditions. The knowledgebase for the expert system was constructed based on the interview with the experienced plant operators.

This paper presents the Application of Response Surface Method for Optimal Transfer Conditions of MLCC Alignment System. his paper is composed of two parts: (1) Testing performance verification of MLCC alignment system, compared with manual operation; (2) Applying response surface method to figuring out the optimal transfer conditions of MLCC transfer system. Based on the successfully developed MLCC alignment system, the optimal transfer conditions have been explored by using RSM. The simulations using $ADAMS^{(R)}$ has been performed according to the cube model of CCD. By using $MiniTAB^{(R)}$, we have established the model of response surface based on the simulation results. The optimal conditions resulted from the response optimization tool of $MiniTAB^{(R)}$ has been verified by being assigned to the prototype of MLCC alignment system.

This paper deals with a method for determining an optimal operation strategy of dispersed generating sources considering thermal merits. The optimal operation of these sources can be determined by the principle of equal incremental fuel cost. This paper presents an optimal operation strategy using the Kuhn-Tucker's optimal conditions and also an priority method to decide the optimal location of those sources in power systems. The validity of the proposed algorithms are demonstrated using a model system.
