This study proposes a multi-objective approach for the optimal design of a sustainable Integrated Biodiesel/Diesel Supply Chain (IBDSC) based on first- (sunflower and rapeseed) and second-generation (waste cooking oil and animal fat) feedstocks with solid waste use. It includes mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) models of the economic, environmental and social impact of IBDSC, and respective criteria defined in terms of costs. The purpose is to obtain the optimal number, sizes and locations of bio-refineries and solid waste plants; the areas and amounts of feedstocks needed for biodiesel production; and the transportation mode. The approach is applied on a real case study in which the territory of Bulgaria with its 27 districts is considered. Optimization problems are formulated for a 5-year period using either environmental or economic criteria and the remainder are defined as constraints. The obtained results show that in the case of the economic criterion, 14% of the agricultural land should be used for sunflower and 2% for rapeseed cultivation, while for the environmental case, 12% should be used for rapeseed and 3% for sunflower. In this case, the price of biodiesel is 14% higher, and the generated pollutants are 6.6% lower. The optimal transport for both cases is rail.

Fluidic Thrust Vectoring

In view of the control effects of fluidic thrust vector technology for low-speed aircraft at high altitude/low density and low altitude/high density are studied. The S-A model of FLUENT software is used to simulate the flow field inside and outside the nozzle with variable control surface parameters, and the relationship between the area of control surface and the deflection effect of main flow at different altitudes is obtained. It is found that the fluidic thrust vectoring nozzle can effectively control the internal flow in the ground state and the high altitude/low density state. and the mainstream deflection angle can be continuously adjusted. The maximum deflection angle of the flow in the ground state is 21.86°, and the maximum deviation angle of the 20 km high altitude/low density state is 18.80°. The deflecting of the inner flow of the nozzle is beneficial to provide more lateral force and lateral torque for the aircraft. The high altitude/low density state is taken as an example. When the internal flow deflects 18.80°, the lateral force is 0.32 times the main thrust. For aircraft with high altitude and low density, sufficient lateral and lateral torque can make the flying aircraft more flexible, which can make up the shortcomings of the conventional rudder failure and even replace the conventional rudder surface.

Fluidic Thrust Vectoring

The flow field was simulated in a 2D convergent-divergent nozzle, for fluidic thrust vectoring with N-S method. Based on the specific design, the effects of control parameters of secondary jet injection is investigated, and a method is proposed to calculate the initial state of secondary jet, which is different from original hypothesis of stagnation. The results showed that the two methods have closed results and the stagnation hypothesis is suitable for the calculation of the initial state of secondary jet.

Multi-objective optimal design of sandwich composite laminates consisting of high stiffness and expensive surface layers and low-stiffness and inexpensive core layer is addressed in this paper. The object is to determine ply angles and number of surface layers and core thickness in such way that natural frequency is maximized with minimal material cost and weight. A simulated annealing algorithm with finite element method is used for simultaneous cost and weight minimization and frequency maximization. The proposed procedure is applied to Graphite-Epoxy/Glass-Epoxy and Graphite-epoxy/Aluminum sandwich laminates and results are obtained for various boundary conditions and aspect ratios. Results show that this technique is useful in designing of effective, competitive and light composite structures.
