Three classes of Central Composite Design: Central Composite Circumscribed Design (CCCD), Central Composite Inscribed Design (CCID) and Central Composite Face-Centered Design (CCFD) in Response Surface Methodology (RSM) were evaluated and compared using the A-, D-, and G-efficiencies for factors, k, ranging from 3 to 10, with 0-5 centre points, in other to determine the performances of the designs under consideration. The results show that the CCDs (CCCD, CCFD and CCID) are at their best when the G-efficiency is employed for all the factors considered while the CCID especially behaves poorly when using the A- and D-efficiencies.

The boriding process is a thermochemical surface treatment which can be applied to many iron and non-ferrous materials and improves the properties of the material such as hardness, wear resistance. In the present study, the layer thickness values of the boronized AISI 430 material were optimized using the Response Surface Methodology. Mathematical model was constructed using parameters such as temperature and time and the results were analyzed comparatively. As a result of the analysis, the optimum layer thickness value for AISI 430 material was obtained as 39.0183 µm for 1000 ºC and 5.9h and it was determined that the boriding temperature and time are effective on the boride layer formation process of AISI 430 material. Finally, the Response Surface Methodology and Face Centered Central Composite Design have been effectively applied to the boriding process.

The equiradial designs are studied as alternative second-order N-point spherical Response Surface Methodology designs in two variables, for design radius ρ = 1.0. These designs are seen comparable with the standard second-order response surface methodology designs, namely the Central Composite Designs. The D-efficiencies of the equiradial designs are evaluated with respect to the spherical Central Composite Designs. Furthermore, D-efficiencies of the equiradial designs are evaluated with respect to the D-optimal exact designs defined on the design regions of the Circumscribed Central Composite Design, the Inscribed Central Composite Design and the Face-centered Central Composite Design. The D-efficiency values reveal that the alternative second-order N-point spherical equiradial designs are better than the Inscribed Central Composite Design though inferior to the Circumscribed Central Composite Design with efficiency values less than 50% in all cases studied. Also, D-efficiency values reveal that the alternative second-order N-point spherical equiradial designs are better than the N-point D-optimal exact designs defined on the design region supported by the design points of the Inscribed Central Composite Design. However, the N-point spherical equiradial designs are inferior to the N-point D-optimal exact designs defined on the design region supported by the design points of the Circumscribed Central Composite Design and those of the Face-centered Central Composite Design, with worse cases with respect to the design region of the Circumscribed Central Composite Design.

This study investigated aluminum permeation using a counter flow ion exchange dialysis (IED) system. The optimum conditions for permeation were investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). Effect of four factors- feed concentration (100-2,000 ppm, A), feed flow rate (25-85%, B), sweep concentration (0.25-1 N HCl, C) and sweep flow rate (25-85%, D) were studied using face centered central composite (FC-CCD) statistical experimental design. A RSM model was developed based on the experimental permeation data and the response plot was developed. The FC-CCD model predicted permeation correlated with the experimental data. The regression coefficient (R<sup>2</sup>) was found to be 0.9568. The experiment showed the ascending order of the effect of the variables is D < B < C < A. In a counter flow IED for Al permeation, the sweep flow rate is insignificant (p > 0.05). Experimental validation demonstrated for target permeation of 70% was 68.8% ± 2.22%. This suggested that the RSM was a suitable tool in optimizing Al-permeation.

This study investigates the optimization of thermal conductivity of nickel zinc ferrite incorporated thermoplastic natural rubber nanocomposites using response surface methodology (RSM). The experimental runs were based on face-centered central composite design (FCCD) where three levels were designated for both temperature and magnetic filler content. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed that the implemented technique is significant with an F-value of 35.7 and a p-value of <0.0001. Moreover, the statistical inference drawn from the quadratic model suggests a saddle response behavior the thermal conductivity took when both factors were correlated. The factors’ optimal set confined within the practical range led to a thermal conductivity of 1.05 W/m·K, a value which is believed to be associated with an optimal percolated network that served as efficacious thermal pathways in the fabricated nanocomposites. These results are believed to contribute to the potential employability of magnetic polymer nanocomposites (MPNCs) in electronic packaging applications.

This study investigates the effect of enzyme formulations (Zympex-014, Kemzyme dry-plus and Natuzyme) on recovery of phenolics from Peganum hermala (harmal) leaves, under optimized conditions using response surface methodology. As compared to the other enzyme complexes, the yield (34 g/100g) obtained through Zympex-014-assisted extraction was higher under optimized conditions such as time (75 min), temperature (70°C), pH (6.5) and enzyme concentration (5 g/100 g) using central composite design (CCD). Effectiveness of Zympex-014 towards hydrolysis of P. hermala leaves cell wall was examined by analyzing the control and enzyme-treated leave residues using scanning electron microscope (SEM). GC/MS characterization authenticated the presence of quercetin (1.44), gallic acid (0.23), caffeic acid (0.04), cinnamic acid (0.05), m-coumaric acid (0.23) and p-coumaric acid (0.37 μg/g) as the potent phenolics in Zympex-014 based extract. It can be concluded from the findings of the current work that pre-treatment of P. hermala leaves with Zympex-014 significantly enhanced the recovery of phenolics that supports its potential uses in the nutra-pharamaceutical industry.

: In this research, the extraction of essential oil from Calotropis Procera with the family name of Asclepiadaceae, by supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) solvent has been investigated in detail, and the yield and chemical profile of the extracts achieved by this method were compared with those resulted by the conventional Hydro distillation method. To optimize the process parameters of CO2 supercritical extraction (SCE) of the Calotropis Procera, the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD) was employed. The effects of temperature, pressure, and extraction time on the oil yield are considered for investigation. Results showed that the data were sufficiently fitted into the second-order polynomial model. The extraction conditions, including pressure, temperature, and extraction time, were studied between 150-200 bar, 40-50 ºC, and 50-100 min, respectively. The optimal conditions are achieved as the temperature of 47.19ºC, the pressure of 172.2 bar, and time of 86 minutes with the retrieval rate of 31.39%.

The present study aimed to optimize the production of Scenedesmus sp. biomass during the phycoremediation process. The biomass productivity was optimized using face centred central composite design (FCCCD) in response surface methodology (RSM) as a function of two independent variables that included wet market wastewater concentrations (A) with a range of 10% to 75% and aeration rate (B) with a range of 0.02 to 4.0 L/min. The results revealed that the highest biomass productivity (73 mg/L/d) and maximum growth rate (1.19 day−1) was achieved with the 64.26% of (A) and 3.08 L/min of (B). The GC-MS composition analysis of the biomass yield extract revealed that the major compounds are hexadecane (25%), glaucine (16.2%), and phytol (8.33%). The presence of these compounds suggests that WMW has the potential to be used as a production medium for Scenedesmus sp. Biomass, which has several applications in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry.
