Multiobjective optimal design for biodiesel sustainable production

Multiobjective Optimization of Total Monomeric Anthocyanins and Total Flavonoids Contents in Ultrasound‐Assisted Extraction from Purple Potato Tubers

“…An elitist GA always favors individuals with better fitness value (rank). A controlled elitist GA also favors individuals that can help increase the diversity of the population even if they have a lower fitness value (Woinaroschy ). It is important to maintain the diversity of population for convergence to an optimal Pareto front.…”

Quality Assessment of Biodiesels Obtained from Pure Cooking Oils of Some Feedstocks and their Waste Oils

“…One such approach is the biodiesel production through different feed stocks that include vegetable oils and animal fats etc. According to ASTM 6751, biodiesel is defined as a renewable fuel consisting of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids obtained from vegetable oils and animal fats through transesterification in the presence of base as a catalyst [2][3][4][5]. During transesterification process, the vegetable oils (triglycerides) are allowed to react with lower alcohols most commonly methanol, in the presence of suitable catalyst (NaOH or KOH).…”

Carbon dioxide emission reduction by heating poultry houses from renewable energy sources in Central Europe

“…In agriculture they can be employed to analyse: performance of agricultural machines (Ampatzidis et al, 2014;Coen et al, 2008 andEbrahimi et al, 2013), agronomic operations ( Van't Ooster et al, 2014 andBochtis et al, 2014), production management (Tedeschi et al, 2011 andReynoso-Campos et al, 2004), production economy (Valdivia et al, 2012 andLi, 2011) possibility of greenhouse emission reduction (Crosson et al, 2011) and other areas of agricultural production and systems (Wallach et al, 2014;Rosenzweig et al, 2013;Rossing et al, 2007). One of the tools used in numerical modelling and analysis of various systems is the Matlab environment, widely used in the area of agriculture (Giusti and Marsili-Libelli, 2015;Menesatti et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2011;Papadopoulos et al, 2011;Cool et al, 2014 andOdegard andvan der Voet, 2014), including modelling of the renewable energy systems (Kıyan et al, 2013;Woinaroschy, 2014;Da Silva and Fernandes, 2010;Nakoul et al, 2014;Taghavifar andMardani, 2014 andSefeedpari et al, 2014). As a useful tool, this programming environment has been used to simulate the operation of the system presented in this paper.…”
