A fuzzy set approach to multicriteria modelling is presented for selecting the best alternative solution to a large-scale engineering project. The problems of making expert recommendations, amidst conflicting views of different people and institutions, is handled by this technique which...

A multi-objective optimization of main heat exchanger in a regenerative Brayton cycle system is carried out based on entransy dissipation. The best trade-off between the entransy dissipation numbers caused by heat transfer and fluid friction is achieved in the Pareto optimal solutions, the...

The viscous dissipation effect on the thermodynamic performance of the curved square microchannels in laminar flow is numerically investigated. The classical Navier–Stokes equations are adopted; aniline and ethylene glycol are selected as the working fluids. The results show that the heat...
