Project -1 Parsing NASA thermodynamic data
NASA came up with polynomials that can be used to evaluate thermodynamic properties such as Cp, H and S using polynomials. They have also documented the co-efficients that are required to evaluate these polynomials for 1000+ species. The program that can read the high and low temperature data from the given data…

Matlab program to calculate the global maxima of a stalagmite function
A genetic algorithm is a method of solving optimization problems by the concept of theory of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin. This algorithm is used to calculate the global minimum or global maximum of a function. The working of a genetic algorithm is given below 1. The algorithm randomly selects members from…
