Derivative-Free Methods for High-Dimensional Optimization with Application to Centrifugal Pump Design
… design optimization problems are performed: 1) efficiency maximization with constraints on head and wrap angle using steady-state CFD analysis, 2) efficiency maximization with constraints on head and wrap angle using transient CFD analysis and 3) average blade thickness maximization with …

Revving up for the future: an inductive power transfer system geared for vehicular applications
… with an optimized power control algorithm and efficiency maximization to transfer power from a transmitter pad positioned on the ground and the receiver pad embedded under the chassis of an EV. Magnetic analysis for the charging coil architecture is facilitated via simulations in Ansys Maxwell. …

Design of energy-efficient ultrasonic communication systems on steel pipes
… When designing a network of such links, energy efficiency, defined as the average energy per transmitted bit, can be far more important than Shannon capacity, for such battery-powered, relatively inaccessible links. This work focuses on the low-rate, total life-time energy-limited regime to …

The effects of individual-level differences in metabolic rate on foraging behavior and life history traits in honeybees
… such as honeybees maximize their energetic efficiency rather than the rate of energetic gain, given the critical role of energetic costs on foraging decisions. We therefore tested if individuals with low or high metabolic rates differ in efficiency maximization, using genetic lines of …

Thermodynamic Analysis and Optimization of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Brayton Cycles
… size and cost of solar block, the global maximum efficiency of the power block should be realized. Therefore, the single-objective optimization scheme is considered to find the optimum design points that correspond to the global maximum efficiency of S-CO2 cycles. Four configurations of S-CO2 …
