Inconel-800 super alloy is a newly difficult-to-cut material. To improve the cutting conditions for this metal, sustainable methods in which minimum quantity lubrication enhanced with suspended nanoparticle were employed. This work also aims to model the relationship between process parameters (cutting speed, feed per tooth, depth of cut, and corner radius of cutting tool) and machining responses (surface roughness, specific cutting energy, cutting power, and material removal rate) using orthogonal array design of experiment and response surface methodology. Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm was used to solve the multi-objective optimization problems in terms of energy, productivity, and quality of the machining process. The results indicate that the application of the response surface methodology model in combination with non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is appropriate for this study due to the goodness of fit of response surface methodology and the global optimum solution of genetic algorithm. Because multi-objective optimization gives multiple solutions, Pareto plot and data mining are employed to support the selection of process parameters that can save time and cost and increase energy efficiency, meanwhile, simultaneously improve productivity and surface quality. The research results show that the specific cutting energy and energy consumption can be reduced up to 20.2% and 6.4%, respectively.

Abstract Waste generated from industrial processing of seafood is an enormous source of commercially valuable proteins. One among the underutilized seafood waste is shrimp waste, which primarily consists of head and carapace. Litopenaeus vannamei (L. vannamei) is the widely cultivated shrimp in Asia and contributes to 90 % of aggregate shrimp production in the world. This work was focused on extraction as well as purification of value-added proteins from L. vannamei waste in a single step aqueous two phase system (ATPS). Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and trisodium citrate system were chosen for the ATPS owing to their adequate partitioning and less toxic nature. Response surface methodology (RSM) was implemented for the optimization of independent process variables such as PEG molecular weight (2000 to 6000), pH (6 to 8) and temperature (25 to 45 °C). The results obtained from RSM were further validated using a Multi-objective genetic algorithm (MGA). At the optimized condition of PEG molecular weight 2000, pH 8 and temperature 35 °C, maximum partition coefficient and protein yield were found to be 2.79 and 92.37 %, respectively. Thus, L. vannamei waste was proved to be rich in proteins, which could be processed industrially through cost-effective non-polluting ATPS extraction, and RSM coupled MGA could be a potential tool for such process optimization.
