GENETIC ALGORITHM TO OPTIMISE THE STALAGMITE FUNCTION

OBJECTIVES: 1. To calculate the state points of the Rankine Cycle based on user inputs. 2. To plot corresponding T-s and h-s Diagrams. INTRODUCTION TO RANKINE CYCLE: The Rankine cycle or Rankine Vapor Cycle is the process widely used by power plants such as coal-fired power plants or nuclear…

OBJECTIVES:  1. To write a function that extracts the 14 temperature co-efficients and calculate properties like molecular weight, enthalpy, entropy and specific heats for all the species in the given data file. 2. to plot the and save enthalpy, entropy and specific heats for the local temperature range spacific…

OBJECTIVE: To optimise the stalagmite function and find the global maxima of the function. INTRODUCTION: Optimization is the process of making something better. It refers to finding the values of inputs in such a way that the 'best' output values are obtained. The definition of 'best' varies from problem…

OBJECTIVES: 1. To write codes for linear and cubic polynomial fit for given `C_p` data. 2. To plot the linear and cubic fit curves along with the raw data points. 3. To write a code to show splitwise method. 4. To measure the fitness characteristics for both the curves. CURVE FITTING: Curve fitting is one of the most…

OBJECTIVE: To solve the equation of motion of simple pendulum which is a second order ODE and to simulate the motion of the simple pendulum with damping INTRODUCTION: Differential equations appear in a wide range of problems in physics and science. They are use to model many of the phenomenon that occur around us and we…

OBJECTIVE: To plot the Otto cycle and calculate its thermal efficiency using MATLAB INTRODUCTION:  Internal combustion engine is a heat engine which converts chemical energy of fuel in to mechanical energy usually in the form of rotating shaft. Chemical energy of fuel is converted into thermal energy first by means…

OBJECTIVE: To simulate the forward kinematics of a 2R Robotic Arm using MATLAB INTRODUCTION: Robot kinematics is the study of the motion of robot manipulator where the position, velocity and acceleration of all the links are calculated without considering the forces that cause this motion. A manipulator is composed…
