Optimal Engine Selection and Trajectory Optimization using Genetic Algorithms for Conceptual Design Optimization of Resuable Launch Vehicles
Proper engine selection for Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs) is a key factor in the design of low cost reusable launch systems for routine access to space. RLVs typically use combinations of different types of engines used in sequence over the duration of the flight. Also, in order to properly …

Small-Scale Solar Central Receiver System Design and Analysis
… optimal tower height, receiver size, and turbine engine selection are developed. In this specific design, solar shares of up to 73.2% and an annual average of 44% are possible through the use of a gas-solar hybrid microturbine engine. Larger solar shares are not possible due to the limited size of …

Design and assessment of a super high speed, hybrid hydrofoil/SWATH crew boat
… estimation, speed profile determination and engine selection. The hydrofoil design phase limits on resizing the four surface-piercing super-cavitating hydrofoils to keep the vessel even keel at maximum speed. To achieve this, the front foils need to have a larger size than the aft ones, due …

Strategic frameworks in automotive systems architecting
More often than not, large-scale engineering concepts such as those used by creative automotive manufacturing companies require the incorporation of significant capital outlays and resources for the purposes of implementation and production of additional configurations. In most cases, these systems …
