        : World population has been continuously raised and therefore due to this fact new source of foods, particularly proteins, are in demand. In recent years, single cell protein has been considered as an accepted substitute for animal and plant proteins. In this study, single cell protein production was studied in a batch submerged culture using Aspergillus niger PTCC5012. Experimental design was performed by Qualitek-4 software using Taguchi as a fractional factorial statistical method. Glucose, magnesium sulfate and potassium hydrogen phosphate concentrations as well as the pH were considered to be the four key parameters, each one at four different levels. Optimal conditions were created to achieve the maximum single cell protein of Aspergillus niger PTCC5012 in respect of the optimum concentrations of the mentioned parameters. An acceptable consistency of 94% was observed between optimum single cell protein proposed by the software and the experimentally measured one. Glucose concentration was evaluated as the most effective parameter on single cell protein production yield with 40.95% contribution. The concentration of potassium hydrogen phosphate was introduced as the less effective factor on single cell protein production with 13.99% contribution پرونده مقاله

        The present research involves effectual parameters on Cefixime trihydrate removal from aqueous solutions. Antibiotics are the main contributions in pharmaceutical waste; their presence causes major concern. The extensive utilization of antibiotics in aquaculture and prescriptions has led to the cultivation of various antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes in wastewater. The UV-LED/S2O82-process, one of the most widely (AOPs), is an effective method for industrial wastewater treatment. Sixteen experiments were required to study the effect of parameters on UV-LED/S2O82-removal of the drug. Each experiment was repeated three times )n=48) to calculatethe mean of average. Outcomes revealed that among different parameters, peroxydisulfateconcentration was the most efficient one. Based on the mean of average, optimized conditionfor drug removal was temperature of 50◦C, current intensity of 1800 mA, drug concentration of 10 ppm, peroxydisulfate concentration of 120 mM and 30 min for time. Consequently, 91.79 percent of drug degradation was achieved via optimum conditions. پرونده مقاله

        In this paper, Taguchi method is applied to find optimum process parameters for turning UD-GFRP rods using polycrystalline diamond cutting tool. The process parameters considered include cutting speed, depth of cut, cutting environment (dry and wet) and feed rate. The experiments were conducted by L16 orthogonal array as suggested by Taguchi. Signal to Noise ratio and ANOVA are employed to analyses the effect of turning process parameter on the tangential cutting force. The results from confirmation runs indicated that the determined optimal combination of machining parameters improved the performance of the machining process. The percent contributions of cutting speed (2.46%), depth of cut (73.82%), dry and wet (3.89%) and feed rate (8.02%) in affecting the variation of tangential force are significantly larger (95 % confidence level). It has been found that the wet cutting environment reduces the tangential force. Depth of cut is the factor, which has great influence on tangential force, followed by feed rate. پرونده مقاله

        In this paper, the temperature distribution in workpiece and microstructure of welded zone in friction stir welding of aluminum 1100 alloys and the effect of the tool rotational speed on these parameters have investigated experimentally. Also feed forward back propagation neural network has been used to predict the temperature of the workpiece during the welding process by considering the process time and tool rotational speed as input parameters of the neural network. For this purpose, the Taguchi design of experiments has been used and the network with minimum mean squared error was selected. This way of neural network selection is very formal and effective than the existing methods. The selected network mean squared error with this approach is 0.000388, its most differences with experimental inputs is 0.770997ºC and its regression R values is 0.99113. Also according to experimental results, increasing tool rotational speed leads to higher plastic deformation in materials and also causes increasing the friction between tool and workpiece which leads to higher workpiece temperature. پرونده مقاله

        Shot-peening is a surface treatments utilized extensively in the industry to enhance the performance of metal parts against fatigue. This paper aimed to find the optimal parameters of the shot-peening process based on the finite elements model and the Taguchi method. The effects of three peening parameters (shot diameter, shot velocity, coverage percentage) are investigated on residual stress and roughness using Taguchi method. A new Taguchi technique is proposed by combining it with desirability function to optimize the shot-peening parameters that simultaneously provide two or more responses in an optimal mode. The results show that the coverage percentage has the most influence on the surface stress and maximum compressive stress whereas the velocity and diameter of the shot are the most effective parameters on the depth of compression stress. The shot velocity is the main factor of the surface roughness due to the shot peening. Through the proposed structure, optimal conditions can be obtained for surface stress and roughness simultaneously with high-coverage and low-velocity. Eventually, results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in stand point of saving time and cost. پرونده مقاله

        The principal effects of mass degradation on polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are the decay of mechanical properties such as strength, elongation, and resilience. This degradation is a common problem of the PMCs under thermal cycling conditions. In this article, composite degradation was investigated by measurement of total mass loss (TML) using the Taguchi approach. Thermal cycling tests were performed using a developed thermal cycling apparatus. Weight loss experiments were performed on the glass fiber/epoxy laminates under different number of thermal cycles and temperature differences. Also, The specimens had various fiber volume fractions and stacking sequences. Statistical analysis is performed to study contribution of each factor. Based on weight loss rates, a regression model was presented to evaluate the TML of laminated composite materials samples. It was found that the temperature differences and fiber volume fraction are the most effective factors of surface degradation with 61 and 22 percent contribution. Also, under the similar experimental conditions, the [0]8 layups exhibits 44 and 35.7 percent more mass loss than the [0/±45/90]s and [02/902]s layups, respectively. پرونده مقاله

        Fracture analysis of glass/epoxy composites under different thermal cycling conditions is considered. Temperature difference, stacking sequence, fiber volume fraction and number of thermal cycles are selected as the experimental design factors. The Taguchi method is implemented to design of the experiment and an apparatus is developed for automatic thermal cycling tests. The tensile tests are done to study mechanical behavior of the specimens after the thermal cycling. The results show that the stacking sequence is the main effective factor on the fracture surface behavior of the specimens. Also, long splitting, lateral and angled breakage are the dominate failure mode of [0]8, [02/902]s and [0/±45/90]s layups, respectively. It’s found that the thermal cycling and temperature difference cause to increase the surface matrix loss significantly. This surface matrix loss can be an initial region to matrix debonding and crack propagation. Also, when the angle difference between lamina is increased the mechanical properties are reduced under the thermal cycling, significantly. پرونده مقاله

        Safety and failure in gas pipelines are very important in gas and petroleum industry. For this reason, it is important to study the effect of different parameters in order to reach the maximum safety in design and application. In this paper, a three dimensional finite element analysis is carried out to study the effect of crack length, crack depth, crack position, internal pressure and pipe thickness on failure mode and safety of API X65 gas pipe. Four levels are considered for each parameter and finite element simulations are carried out by using design of experiments (DOE). Then, multi-objective Taguchi method is conducted in order to minimize x and y coordinates of Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD). So, desired levels that minimize the coordinates and rises the possibility of safety are derived for each parameter. The variation in FAD coordinates according to the changes in each parameter are also found. Finally, comparisons between the optimum design and all other experiments and simulations have shown a good safety situation. It is also concluded that the more design parameters close to optimum levels, the better safety condition will occur in FAD. A verification study is performed on the safety of longitudinal semi-elliptical crack and the results has shown a good agreement between numerical and experimental results. پرونده مقاله

        In this research, an integrated inventory problem is formulated for a single-vendor multiple-retailer supply chain that works according to the vendor managed inventory policy. The model is derived based on the economic order quantity in which shortages with penalty costs at the retailers` level is permitted. As predicting customer demand is the most important problem in inventory systems and there are difficulties to estimate it, a probabilistic demand is considered to model the problem. In addition, all retailers are assumed to share a unique number of replenishments where their demands during lead-time follow a uniform distribution. Moreover, there is a vendor-related budget constraint dedicated to each retailer. The aim is to determine the near optimal or optimal order quantity of the retailers, the order points, and the number of replenishments so that the total inventory cost of the system is minimized. The proposed model is an integer nonlinear programming problem (NILP); hence, a meta-heuristic namely genetic algorithm (GA) is employed to solve it. As there is no benchmark available in the literature to validate the results obtained, another meta-heuristic called firefly algorithm (FA) is used for validation and verification. To achieve better solutions, the parameters of both meta-heuristics are calibrated using the Taguchi method. Several numerical examples are solved at the end to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed methodology and to compare the performance of the solution approaches. پرونده مقاله

        Integrated production-distribution planning (PDP) is one of the most important approaches in supply chain networks. We consider a supply chain network (SCN) to consist of multi suppliers, plants, distribution centers (DCs), and retailers. A bi-objective mixed integer linear programming model for integrating production-distribution designed here aim to simultaneously minimize total net costs in supply chain and transfer time of products for retailers. From different terms of evolutionary computations, this paper proposes a Pareto-based meta-heuristic algorithm called multi-objective simulated annealing (MOSA) to solve the problem. To validate the results obtained, a popular algorithm namely non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is utilized as well. Since the solution-quality of proposed meta-heuristic algorithm severely depends on their parameters, the Taguchi method is utilized to calibrate the parameters of the proposed algorithm. Finally, in order to prove the validity of the proposed model, a numerical example is solved and conclusions are discussed. پرونده مقاله

        Although microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) is well known by design engineers and manufacturers, most current marine devices continue to be impressed by MIC. This phenomenon originates from colonization of anaerobic microorganisms on metal surface, and subsequently increases the corrosion rate. An investigation was made to defeat MIC by means of applying a TiO2 thin film on metal surface. 316L stainless steel and sol-gel dipping technique were chosen as the base metal and application method, respectively. The depositing variables including PEG adding amount, pH of the sol, calcination temperature (T), and dipping cycles number, were analyze by Taguchi statistical model to determine their influences on response parameters: bactericidal efficiency, current corrosion density (icorr), crystallinity, crystallite size, and surface roughness (Ra). A parameter termed Aim was defined to comprise all the response parameters. Taguchi Predicted conditions to achieve the highest Aim value. For this aim, PEG content, pH, T, and dipping cycles should be equal to 1 g per 100 mL of sol, 11, 600 °C, and 2 cycles, respectively. These conditions were applied to prepare the optimized sample.

        Gas tungsten arc welding is fundamental in those industries where it is important to control the weld bead shape and its metallurgical characteristics. However, compared to the other arc welding process, the shallow penetration of the TIG welding restricts its ability to weld thick structures in a single pass (~ 2 mm for stainless steels), thus its productivity is relativity low. This is why there have been several trials to improve the productivity of the TIG welding. The use of activating flux in TIG welding process is one of such attempts. In this study, first, the effect of each TIG welding parameters on the weld’s penetration depth was shown and then, the optimal parameters were determined using the Taguchi method with L9 (34) orthogonal array. SiO2 and TiO2 oxide powders were used to investigate the effect of activating flux on the TIG weld penetration depth and mechanical properties of 316L austenitic stainless steel. A camera was used to observe and record images of the welding arc, and analyze the relationship between increasing the penetration depth and arc profile. The experimental results showed that activating flux aided TIG welding has increased the weld penetration, tending to reduce the width of the weld bead. The SiO2 flux produced the most noticeable effect. Furthermore, the welded joint presented better tensile strength and hardness. پرونده مقاله

        In order to produce biodiesel from waste cooking oil and optimize its yield, a two-stage process of esterification/ transesterification has been used in this study. First, we used the acidic catalysts H2SO4 in order to diminish the content of free fatty acid (FFA) in oil that caused reducing the oil acidity from 6.1% to 0.57% through esterification. Then, the biodiesel was produced by transesterification of resulted oil using heterogeneous CaO nanoparticles as catalyst. At each stage, the best possible conditions have been determined by applying Taguchi methodology for each major variable, including time, temperature, alcohol/oil molar ratio, and the amount of catalyst. The optimum conditions for esterification are achieved at 80°C temperature, 120 minutes time, 6:1 molar ratio of alcohol/oil, and H2SO4 content of 1% (w/w oil). The optimum condition for transesterification were found in 100 °C temperature, 90 minutes time, 8:1 molar ratio of alcohol/oil, and 3% (w/w oil) of CaO nanoparticles as catalyst. After applying full optimization of these two stages, the yield of the produced biodiesel has achieved 96.4%. پرونده مقاله

        Abstract- The aim of this study is to investigate application of polypyrrole/ polyaniline (PPy/PANI) nanofiber for Cu(II) sorption from paper mill wastewater. The tests and their optimization results were based on the experiments design in three levels of variables using Taguchi method. The results showed that in Copper removal tests, the pH of the solution was the most effective parameter on the sorption process and the highest Copper removal rate was achieved in acid condition. The adsorbent mass and contact time also had considerable effect (less than pH) on Copper removal in the Taguchi method. The effect of temperature on the sorption process was also studied and results showed that the temperature improved the Copper sorption. The adsorption percentage increased with the rise in temperature from 20 to 40 ◦C .The calculated amounts of thermodynamic parameters such as ∆H°(55.33KJ/mol) , ∆S°(0.209KJ/molK) and ∆G°(-7.4 ,-8.87,-11.31KJ/mol) showed that the adsorption of Copper on to nanofiber was feasible spontaneous and endothermic.Keywords: Polypyrrole/Polyaniline; Nano fiber; Paper mill wastewater; Experiment design, Taguchi Method. پرونده مقاله

        The correct selection of input parameters in the electric discharge machining (EDM) process leads to improvements in the material removal rate (MRR), dimensional accuracy of the parts, quality of the surface finish, and reduction of tool wear. The main goal of the research was to investigate the type and extent of the influence of input on output parameters in EDM operations. Experimental data and the contribution of parameters were obtained using the Taguchi test design with three levels. The tool used was made of copper. Samples were selected from three types of alloy steel: 4340, Ti6Al-4V, and AISI D2 steel. The test variables included maximum current (Ip), gap voltage (Vg), and duty factor (DF). In these experiments, Ip values of 5, 10, and 15 amps, Vg values of 25, 50, and 75 volts, and DF values of 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 were selected. The number of machining operations was 81 tests, and the L9 orthogonal array related to the Taguchi approach used for Design of Experiments (DOE) reduced the number of machining operations from 81 to 27 tests. The results indicated that the current parameter of 5 amps had the highest effect on surface roughness (SR) in samples of AISI4340 steel. The current of 15 amps had the greatest impact on MRR, while the duty factor (DF) of 0.6 played the highest role in electrode wear rate (EWR). Maximum Ip contributed 36.77%, Vg contributed 31.03%, and DF contributed 32.18% to EWR. پرونده مقاله

        Nowadays, the role of light weight materials has grown up in important industries such as aerospace and biomechanics, but before the appliance, their strength should be increased. A modern way to increase this factor along with the lightweight factoris using bimetal sheets, hence, the design of multilayer sheets has been very much considered recently. In this study, explosive welded Cu/St/Cu multilayer sheets were used in the incremental forming process to determine the springback phenomenon on different layers. The results indicated that rotational speed, feeding rate, and vertical step parameters can affect spring back in single point incremental forming process (SPIF).Three levels of vertical step size, tool rotational speed, and feed rate have been considered as the input process parameters and spring back as the output.In order to design a better experiment and analyze the data, the Taguchi method was selected on the basis of DOEin Mini-Tab software andthe results have been analyzed by two states. In the first state,the value which was closest to the nominal value is considered to be the optimal result which obtained for spring back angles with parameters of 0.75 mm for the vertical step down, 200 rpm for the rotational speed and 500 and 1000 mm/min for the feeding rate. In the second state, the least amount is considered as the optimal result in which the values of 0.5 and 1 mm of the vertical step down, 150 and 100 rpm of the rotational speed, and 1500 and 500 mm/min of the feeding rate formed the optimal outcome. پرونده مقاله

        Taguchi experimental design technique was used for optimization of photodegradation of yellow water sample of trinitrotoluene (TNT) production process. The nanoparticles of doped N-TiO2 were also used as photocatalysts in the photodegradation reaction under visible light. The ranking of data based on signal to noise ratio values showed that the importance order of the factors affecting the degradation efficiency was: the nature of photocatalyst > time of photodegradation > amount of photocatalyst > initial concentration of pollutant. The optimized conditions were photocatalyst of TiO2/N0.1 photocatalyst dosage of 1.5 g L-1 and dilution times of 750 for real samples. The photocatalyst of TiO2/N0.1 was analyzed by BET surface analysis, X-ray diffraction pattern, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and diffuse reflectance spectra (DTS). Relatively high surface area of 150 m2×g-1, anatase/rutile structure, approximately uniform distribution of nanoparticles size and band-gap energy of 2.92 eV were measured for TiO2/N0.1 nanophotocatalyst. A linear model with the regression coefficient (R2) of 0.887 was obtained by the multiple linear regression analysis. The proposed model was "Degradation efficiency (Y) = 20.492 +1.461X1 +6.330X2 + 0.014X3 +2.291X4". The obtained P-values in the confidence level of 95% were < 0.05, showing a meaningful addition in the model. Therefore, changes in the predictor’s value are due to changes in the response variable. پرونده مقاله

        In this work, ZrO2/TiO2/ZnO ternary nanocomposites were prepared by the sol-gel technique. The Taguchi method with the L9 orthogonal array was utilized to optimize the experimental conditions for the preparation of nanocomposites. The design has four factors, and each factor has three levels. The design factors of this study were calcination temperature, the aging time, the calcination time, and ultrasonic irradiation duration. Furthermore, as-synthesized structural features of nanocomposites were characterized, utilizing XRD, BET, FESEM, and EDX. The photocatalytic activities of all ZrO2/TiO2/ZnO nanocomposites were evaluated by the photodegradation of Congo red (CR) as an azo dye. The photocatalytic property of nanocomposites was enhanced by decreasing particle size and increasing the surface area. The best sample photodegraded 97% the CR solution within 15 min under an 8W UV lamp. The optimal conditions were achieved as 400 ºC calcination temperature, 72 h aging time, 4 h calcination time, and 30 min duration of ultrasonic irradiation for CR solution photodegradation. The effect of each parameter was evaluated using ANOVA analysis. The kinetics results showed the pseudo-first-order reaction mechanism for the photocatalytic activities of the nanocomposites. پرونده مقاله

        This study concerns the development of a nonlinear programming model capable of solving an adapted version of a single-objective nonlinear problem. The original problem was adapted via the inclusion of an additional constraint and term in the objective function. The resultant aim is twofold: to optimize a three-level supply chain so as to decrease objective costs (such as shortage periods) while simultaneously increasing customer service levels. Demand is random and the inventory control system continuous. Lost sales due to urgent demand are assumed. After evaluating the formulated mathematical model, a metaheuristic algorithm is developed capable of determining the number of open distribution centers and allocating retailers to these centers. Experiments to evaluate the proposed method's performance are conducted on small to medium-sized problems. Results are compared against those of e-constraint and None Dominated Sorting Genetic Algoritms (NSGA2) (whose parameters are adjusted using the Taguchi method). Final results indicate the superiority of the proposed metaheuristic in comparison to other, competing approaches. پرونده مقاله

        In this paper, the optimization of electromechanical devices by continuous sensitivity analysis and its comparison with Taguchi method is investigated. The present research can be useful for researchers in one of the important and practical issues that is the optimization of different systems. In practice, it will be observed that the continuous sensitivity analysis method, in addition to achieving significant results, also increases the convergence rate significantly compared with the Taguchi method. In addition to the above, this dissertation also tries to improve the method of continuous sensitivity analysis, which has been done using the help of interpolation such as Spline and Bizar. One of the advantages of the continuous sensitivity analysis method using Spline interpolation in comparison with the Taguchi method is the absence of sharp angles at the optimized border and ease of construction. This specification is of great importance in electromagnetic devices.

        In this study, the impact of input parameters of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) on A356 nano-composite reinforced by 6% SiC was investigated and optimized using Taguchi's method based on the L9 orthogonal array and duplicated levels method. We considered voltage, current intensity, pulse on-time, and pulse off-time as the input parameters. Furthermore, material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR), and surface roughness (SR) were taken into account as the output parameters. The analysis of results and examination of the signal-to-noise graphs (S/N) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed using Minitab@16 software. Moreover, with the determination of the loss function of total normalized values of the output parameters based on assumed weight functions, the optimal level of each input parameter was established. Besides, the magnitude of contribution percentage of each of the input parameters in the total variance was computed through the variance analysis. According to the achieved results, the second level of the voltage (250 V), the first level of the current intensity (10 A), the third level of the pulse on-time (100 µs), and the first level of the pulse off-time (30 µs) were determined as the optimal input parameters. The contribution percentage of the input parameters for voltage, current intensity, pulse on-time, and pulse off-time was determined respectively to be 20.7, 62.06, 9.19, and 8.05. پرونده مقاله

        In this paper the influence of different parameters on equal channel angular pressing (EADAP) of titanium alloy is investigated. In the first step the most important parameters are selected, and then a table of experiments is designed using Taguchi method. After designing the table of experiments, all of the experiments are simulated using Abacus software and the results are optimized using Taguchi method. The results shows that the optimum levels for ECAP method between the implemented experiments of titanium are 120 degrees for die channel, ambient temperature and 2 passes. پرونده مقاله
