This paper models an air traffic optimization problem where, on the one hand, flight operators seek to minimize fuel consumption flying at optimal cruise levels and, on the other hand, air traffic managers aim to keep intersecting airways at as distant as possible flight levels. We study such a problem as a factorized optimization, which is addressed through a spectrum graph coloring model, evaluating the effect that safety constraints have on fuel consumption, and comparing different heuristic approaches for allocation.

ALB is commonly known as combinatorial optimization problem in manufacturing industries and operation management circumstances. Because of the NP-hard characteristics of ALB problem, lot of tries have been done to solve the problem professionally. The critical concern in analysing ALB is how to generate a possible task order which does not disrupt the priority restrictions. This job arranging is a vigorous work to be answered prior to passing on jobs to workstation. Balance delay time (total idle time) is the total of idle time on fabrication assembly lines triggered by the irregular partition of work among operators or stations. In this thesis, SALBP-1 analysed using the three heuristic techniques. Kilbridge and Westers Method (KWM), Ranked Positional weight (RPW) and biologically inspired evolutionary computing tool which is heuristic treated Genetic Algorithm (GA) was applied to solve the ALB problem with the main aim of reducing the balance delay time in the workstation and the best method was selected. The selection criterion was based on the minimum balance delay for the sample problem. The result obtained by heuristic treated GA with 4.545% of balance delay for the sample problem taken was the best when compared to other two methods.

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the application of biologically inspired algorithms and methodologies in CAD software packages, for determining the optimal profile values in carriers with two independent variables. As an example of a biologically inspired algorithm to solve this optimization problem, the scroll algorithm was applied, while the SolidWorks software package was used as an example of CAD.

The multiple effect evaporator (MEE) is an energy intensive step in the kraft pulping process. The exergetic analysis can be useful for locating irreversibilities in the process and pointing out which equipment is less efficient, and it could also be the object of optimization studies. In the present work, each evaporator of a real kraft system has been individually described using mass balance and thermodynamics principles (the first and the second laws). Real data from a kraft MEE were collected from a Brazilian plant and were used for the estimation of heat transfer coefficients in a nonlinear optimization problem, as well as for the validation of the model. An exergetic analysis was made for each effect individually, which resulted in effects 1A and 1B being the least efficient, and therefore having the greatest potential for improvement. A sensibility analysis was also performed, showing that steam temperature and liquor input flow rate are sensible parameters.
