Multiobjective Optimization Design and Performance Prediction of Centrifugal Pump Based on Orthogonal Test by Yuqin Wang, Xinwang Huo

“…The results showed that the optimization pump had no obvious “jet-wake” flow structure, its maximum velocity was less than the prototype pump, the area of low-speed zone was larger than the prototype pump, the efficiency of the centrifugal pump was improved, and the shaft power and pump net positive suction head were reduced. The reason of the head decrease was analyzed from the internal flow situation, and the accuracy of the design optimization process was proved.…”

Statistical Analysis of Linear and Non-Linear Regression for the Estimation of Adsorption Isotherm Parameters by Taynara Andrea Osmari, Roger Gallon, Marcio Schwaab, Elisa Barbosa-Coutinho, João Baptista Severo, José Carlos Pinto

“…This procedure is also usually used for estimating the thermodynamic adsorption parameters, despite the fact that personal computers and software are available for prompt implementation of non-linear solutions of the original parameter-estimation problem. For this reason, the main purpose of this work is to show that the use of linear least-squares methods for estimating adsorption isotherm parameters leads to some serious drawbacks, which can be readily avoided through proper use of non-linear procedures and posterior statistical analyses of the parameter-estimation results, enhancing the quality of the obtained results.…”
