The design space is a discrete set consisting of finitely many points, and the model bias comes from a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. Two different design criteria are proposed by applying the minimax approach for estimating the parameters of the regression response and extrapolating the regression response to points outside of the design space. A simulated annealing algorithm is applied to construct the minimax designs. These minimax designs are compared with the classical D-optimal designs and all-bias extrapolation designs. Numerical results indicate that the simulated annealing algorithm is feasible and the minimax designs are robust against bias caused by model misspecification.展开更多

The aim of this study is to design a steam turbine for a small scale steam power plant with target of producing electricity. The turbine is driven by the heat energy from palm kernel shells as a renewable energy source obtained at a lower or no cost. The study was concentrated on design of turbine elements and its validation using computer packages. Specifically, the microturbine design was limited to design, modeling, simulation and analysis of the rotor, blades and nozzle under the palm kernel shell as fuel for the micro power plant. In blade design, stress failures, efficiency and blade angle parameters were considered. In casing volume design, the overall heat transfer and mean temperature, and different concepts were applied. The thermal distribution on stator and rotor was considered in order to determine its level of tolerance. The design software packages used for design validation were Solidworks and Comsol Multiphysics for analysis. Simulation results showed that the designed steam turbine can adequately tolerate change in stress/load, torsion/compression, temperature and speeds.展开更多

The true response function is assumed to be from a reproducing kernel Hilbert space and the errors are fitted by the qth order moving average process MA(q), especially the MA(1) errors and the MA(2) errors. In both situations, design criteria are derived in terms of the average expected quadratic loss for the least squares estimation by using a minimax method. A case is studied and the orthogonality of the criteria is proved for this special response. The robustness of the design criteria is discussed through several numerical examples.展开更多
