Optimization of the arrays of impinging jets

Abstract

Almost any problem in the design, operation, and analysis of industrial processes can be reduced to the problem of determining either largest or smallest value of a function of several variables in the final analysis. Since optimization is the collective process of finding the set of conditions required to achieve the best result from a given situation, optimization techniques should be brought to bear on every task of practical importance. In most aspects of industry, continual improvement is an important feature. Thus, the largest production from given raw materials is desired with the greatest profit from a fixed investment and so on. Optimization is a definitely formal presentation of these ideas. Improvement can be regarded from two view points: economical and technical.
