Impinging jets are considered to be a well-known technique that offers high local heat transfer rates. No correlation could be established in the literature between the significant parameters and the Nusselt number, and investigation of the interactions between the correlated factors has not been conducted before. An experimental analysis based on the twin impingement jet mechanism was achieved to study the heat transfer rate pertaining to the surface plate. In the current paper, four influential parameters were studied: the spacing between nozzles, velocity, concentration of Nano solution coating and nozzle-plate distance, which are considered to be effective parameters for the thermal conductivity and the heat transfer coefficient of TiO2 nanoparticle, an X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis were done, which highlighted the structure and showed that the nanosolution coated the surface homogenously. Moreover, a comparison was done for the experimental results with that of the predicted responses generated by the Design Expert software, Version 7 User’s Guide, USA. A response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to improve a mathematical model by accounting for a D-optimal design. In addition, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed for testing the significance of the models. The maximum Nu of 91.47, where H = S = 1 cm; Reynolds number of 17,000, and TiO2 nanoparticle concentration of 0.5% M. The highest improvement rate in Nusselt was about 26%, achieved with TiO2 Nanoparticle, when S = 3 cm, H = 6 cm and TiO2 nanoparticle = 0.5 M. Furthermore, based on the statistical analysis, the expected values were found to be in satisfactory agreement with that of the empirical data, which was conducted by accounting for the proposed models’ excellent predictability. Multivariate approaches are very useful for researchers, as well as for applications in industrial processes, as they lead to increased efficiency and reduced costs, so the presented results of this work could encourage the overall uses of multivariate methods in these fields. Hypotheses: A comparison was done for the predicted responses generated by the Design Expert software with the experimental results and then studied to verify the following hypotheses: ► Preparation of three concentrations of TiO2 nanosolution was done and studied. ► The heat transfer rate could be increased by surface coating with TiO2 nanoparticle. ► The heat transfer could be improved by the impingement jet technique with suitable adjustments.

In this study, the response surface methodology was used to optimize the process parameters of constant speed horizontal spindle surface grinding. The experiments were conducted based on the design expert software. The surface roughness characteristics were investigated in AISI 1080 steel plates using A60V5V grinding wheels. The optimum parameters for minimum surface roughness were found using Design Expert software. The parameters for a particular surface roughness value can also be determined using the results of this experiment. This results shows that feed has a greater effect on surface roughness and feed has medium effect on surface roughness. While dressing depth of cut has a very minimal effect on surface roughness.

Asphalt concrete wearing course is laid on the top of road pavement so that directly exposed to ultra violet light and other environment impact. The higher temperature at the pavement surface and exposure to atmospheric oxygen accelerated aging cause asphalt to stiffen and become brittle. This aging result decrease the binding of asphalt and aggregate leads various damage of pavement. The aged asphalt rejuvenated and recycled with rejuvenating agent has been developed to reduce the use of virgin material for road maintenance. This article aims to review durability of asphalt concrete wearing course using waste cooking oil, epoxy resin, kerosene and waste engine oil as asphalt rejuvenators. Aging asphalt was prepared by heating in an oven at 85 oC for 120 hours (long term oven aging). Durability was assessed from the value of Marshall immersion which represent the resistance of asphalt mixture at water immersion. Relation between Marshall immersion and voids in mix (VIM), voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA), voids filled with bitumen (VFB) and density are also evaluated. From the analysis, it can be concluded that the use of waste cooking oil, epoxy resin, kerosene and waste engine oil as asphalt rejuvenators increase the durability of asphalt mixture containing the aged asphalt.

Abstract This study examined product separation in biodiesel power plants to optimise the process. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to identify the optimum parameters for the process of separation, to maximise profitability while also reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The mass and energy balance was assessed using Aspen Plus software, while RSM was carried out with Design-Expert software. Development of the characteristic equation determined that the model for gasoline yield, power generation, and carbon dioxide emissions was significant at the 95% confidence level. The R-squared value predicted by the model was found to be 0.97–1.00. In an optimal plant, profit can rise by 3,836 USD over the year, while carbon dioxide emissions decline annually by 17.97 tons.

The main objective of this study was to optimize the hydrolyzing conditions of L-Arabinose from corn fibers. The response surface methodology was used for the optimization. Independent variables were the concentration of the oxalic acid (2-4%), the hydrolysis time (3.5-4.5h) ,the dosage of the oxalic acid(6-10ml/g,v/w)and the reaction temperature (80-100°C). Significant regression model describing the changes of L-Arabinose yield with respect to hydrolysis parameters were established with the coefficient of determination, R2= 0.9501.Data were analyzed by Design Expert 7.0 and regression analysis. The L-Arabinose yield ranged from 7.53% to 11.46%. The models had significant effects on L-Arabinose yield at P<0.05. Optimum the hydrolysis time, the concentration of the oxalic acid, the dosage of the oxalic acid and the reaction temperature were 3.86h, 3.97%, 6mL/g (v/w) and 100°C, respectively. This combination gave 11.46% L-Arabinose yield.
