This study was performed to optimize and validate Rancimat (Metrohm Ltd., Herisau, Switzerland) operational parameters including temperature, air-flow, and sample weight to minimize Induction-Time (IT) and IT-Coefficient-of-Variation (CV), using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). According to a Box–Behnken experimental design, walnut oil equivalent to 3-, 6-, or 9-g was added to each reaction vessel and heated to 100, 110, or 120 °C, while an air-flow equal to 10-, 15-, or 20-L·h−1 was forced through the reaction vessels. A stationary point was found per response variable (IT and CV), and optimal parameters were defined considering the determined stationary points for both response variables at 100 °C, 25 L·h−1, and 3.9 g. Optimal parameters provided an IT of 5.42 ± 0.02 h with a CV of 1.25 ± 0.83%. RSM proved to be a useful methodology to find Rancimat operational parameters that translate to accurate and efficient values of walnut oil IT.

Singulation of seeds has been investigated extensively by researchers all over the world and a large number of precision seeding systems with design variations have been developed for different crops. A picking type metering mechanism was developed at CAET, AAU, Godhra, Gujarat, India. The performance of the picking type seed-metering device of a pneumatic planter was investigated under laboratory conditions to optimize the operating parameters for lady's finger seed. The picking of single seed the three operational parameters i.e. hole diameters for the nozzle: 1.0, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.0 mm; forward speed: 0.37, 0.56, 0.83, 1.11 and 1.30 m/s and vacuum pressure: 19.33, 39.32, 43.98, 58.64 and 68.63 kPa were selected for the study. The metering system of the planter was set to place the seed to seed spacing at 300 mm. The response surface methodology (RSM) technique was used to optimize the operational parameters of a precision planter. For optimizing the forward speed, vacuum pressure and nozzle size for developed machine was evaluated by examining the miss index, multiple index, quality of feed index and precision. The data obtained in the experiments were used to develop functions in polynomial form using multiple regression technique. The optimum value was found to be around 0.96 m/s, 36.25 kPa and 2.0 mm of forward speed, vacuum pressure and the holes diameter of nozzle, respectively. The most important variable that governs planting phenomenon is the combination of hole diameter of nozzle and vacuum pressure accounts 89.18 per cent.

This manuscript presents the influencing parameters of CNC turning conditions to get high removal rate and minimal response of surface roughness in turning of AA7075-TiC-MoS2 composite by response surface method. These composites are particularly suited for applications that require higher strength, dimensional stability and enhanced structural rigidity. Composite materials are engineered materials made from at least two or more constituent materials having different physical or chemical properties. In this work seventeen turning experiments were conducted using response surface methodology. The machining parameters cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut are varied with respect to different machining conditions for each run. The optimal parameters were predicted by RSM technique. Turning process is studied by response surface methodology design of experiment. The optimal parameters were predicted by RSM technique. The most influencing process parameter predicted from RSM techniques in cutting speed and depth of cut.

Fine hemp fibers (cottonized hemp) were processed using steam explosion. The quantification of the defibration rate was performed by image processing. Based on this method, the hemp defibration was optimized using a response surface methodology based on three-variable central composite design for the production of elementary fibers with low variability. Optimal parameters for the steam processes were as follows: time = 4.1 min; temperature = 191℃. Biomass was impregnated with a solution of NaOH (8%) before treatment, leading to a defibration rate of 91.2%, which is producing ≈50% fibers with length <3 mm, in good agreement with the experimental data. Damaged fibers originating from the conjugated effect of steam explosion and alkali hydrolysis were also observed.

Pneumatic transport is one of the most progressive means of mechanization and automation of loose goods transportation. It is used in aluminium, chemical, food, textile, construction and other industries. However, wide use of pneumatic transport is limited by the incomplete information on this subject.

A useful model was developed with the participation of the author of the staff of the Department of transport and technological machines architectural-building University. The author has developed stages of the suction intake unit and carried out theoretical and experimental research on each step to achieve the most effective operation of the device. In view of the fact that for the main parameters of the suction intake devices of the theory of destroying the fabric of a flooded the air flow is not developed to a sufficient degree, the author has studied the process of propagation and interaction of flooded jet with the surface.

The removal percentage of color from institutional wastewater was studied using an electrocoagulation process with different electrode combination at the anode and cathode. This was done by considering operational parameters such as pH at (3, 6 and 9), current at (0.03A, 0.06A and 0.09A) and reaction time at (20, 40 and 60 minutes). When electrode combined in the form of Al-Al (anode-Cathode/Cathode-Anode) and Fe-Fe (anode-Cathode/Cathode-Anode) the percentage removal of color was up to 95.50% and 97.24% respectively. On the other hand around 98.03% and 91.95% of color was removed when Al-Fe (Anode-Cathode) and Fe-Al (Anode-Cathode) combined at pH 9 and 60 minutes of reaction time respectively. Central composite design from response surface methodology was used up to analysis the statistical and mathematical data based on experimental results such as the model was significant for all electrode combinations. Similarly a quadratic model was used for further study of operational effects on the removal (%) of color from institutional wastewater. The value of coefficient of the determination (R2) also indicated the model was a good fit as well as optimization was done by Response Surface Methodology.
