Harrison’s equation for the pressure in a gas-lubricated bearing of infinite width is solved for a thrust pad with stepped configuration. Analytic expressions for the pressure and load are developed. Numerical results are presented graphically. The analytic expressions together with the numerical data permit most of those characteristics of the stepped pad of practical interest to be completely determinable. Determination of optimum design parameters is given by a pair of graphs.

Investigation on the optimum design of a heat exchanger in a Hybrid Closed Circuit Cooling Tower having a rated capacity of 1RT is performed experimentally. The heat exchanger of dimension 0.4mx0.33mx0.572m has 15x7 bare type 15.88mm OD copper coils in staggered arrangement. The relevant design parameters were selected based on the typical East Asian meteorological constrains for the year-round smooth operation of the cooling tower. This study presents results related to the cooling capacity and the cooling efficiency with respect to wet bulb temperature and pressure drop with respect to air inlet velocity. Results are also presented in terms of number of transfer units (NTU). Cooling capacity was found to be close to the rated one for the wet mode but low in dry mode operation.

This paper addresses the issue of determining the optimal geometric parameters of a 3-DOF parallel manipulator. One of the advantages of the manipulator is that the moving platform exhibits high tilting capabilities, e.g., as much as ±50deg. The first step of the new optimal methodology proposed in this paper to achieve the optimum design involves developing a design space that includes all possible basic similarity manipulators. The next step deals with the graphical representation of atlases that can illustrate relationships between performance criteria and design parameters. With such atlases, the designer can identify an optimum region with respect to the specification on performances. The region contains the optimum candidates, from which we can select one directly. Finally, the geometric parameters of the manipulator can be reached by comparing the desired workspace and the good-conditioning workspace. The design methodology discussed in this paper has no process to establish the objective function and does not involve any optimization algorithm, which is normally used in traditional optimization. We expect that since each manipulator in the developed design space represents all of its similarity manipulators in terms of performances, this method will guarantee an optimum design result.
