We conducted an optimization using the second-order response surface method to determine the transverse rib geometry required to achieve the highest cooling performance in a circular channel. The best rib geometry was based on three design variables; rib height, rib width, and rib pitch. The...

To design an impingement/effusion cooling system that realizes the lowest thermal stress in an impingement/effusion cooling system, we conducted thermal analysis and optimization using a second-order response surface method. The optimal impinging jet system was based on four design variables:...

Concrete beams are commonly used in construction projects to provide structural support. Reinforcing these beams with steel and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) can increase their strength and durability. Steel reinforcement is a traditional method used for decades, while GFRP is a newer...
