Project 2 - Rankine cycle Simulator

Title : Measuring the Diameter of an Object within an Image   Aim : To measure objects within frame or an image for many applications where computer vision is required instead of making physical measurements.   Motivation : While scrolling through 'Quora', I came across the questions related to Image…

 Parsing : Parsing, syntax analysis, or syntactic analysis is the process of analyzing a string of symbols, either in natural language, computer languages or data structures, conforming to the rules of a formal grammer. Within computational linguistics the term is used to refer to the formal analysis…

Rankine cycle : The Rankine cycle is a model used to predict the performance of steam turbine systems. It was also used to study the performance of reciprocating steam engines. The Rankine cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle of a heat engine that converts heat into mechanical work while undergoing phase…

Genetic Algorithm : Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a search-based optimization technique based on the principles of Genetics and Natural Selection. It is frequently used to find optimal or near-optimal solutions to difficult problems which otherwise would take a lifetime to solve. It is frequently used to solve optimization…

Curve fitting is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points. By curve fitting we can mathematically construct the functional relationship between the observed dataset and the parameter values. Assume data points (x1,y1),(x2,y2),....,(xn,yn) and assume…
