Flow line are one of the most commonly encountered layouts in manufacturing industries, where several product types (grades) are manufactured using a sequence of sub-systems or machinery with different tasks. With increasing prices of energy and specific customer demands employing effective product scheduling strategies has become essential for manufacturing industries to maintain their business viability...
A mathematical model for the least cost design of water distribution network (WDN), subject to satisfying the hydraulic constraints, based on Cross entropy is presented. In design of WDN, it is required to select for each pipe one diameter from the list of commercially available diameters. The developed model is applied to Hanoi water distribution network, and the results are compared with previous...
To solve conflicts between track and restrain disturbance, robustness and control performance, the immune genetic algorithms (IGA) PID controller based on information entropy is used. Nevertheless, this method needs complex calculation. Its constants are determined by experience and redundant information will slow the speed of convergence. In this paper, a novel PID controller based on immune networks...
