Journal ArticleDOI

Inverse and optimization problems in heat transfer

TL;DR: In this article, the basic concepts of inverse and optimization problems are presented, and deterministic and stochastic minimization techniques in finite and infinite dimensional spaces are revised; advantages and disadvantages of each of them are discussed and a hybrid technique is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrous ethanol–gasoline blends – Combustion and emission investigations on a Flex-Fuel engine

TL;DR: In this paper, a programmable engine control unit was used to manage engine operation and spark timing calibration for maximum break torque at different speeds and torques, calculated based on in-cylinder pressure curve data, measured by a special data acquisition system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of different versions of the conjugate gradient method of function estimation

TL;DR: In this article, the inverse problem of estimating the spatial and transient variations of the heat transfer coefficient at the surface of a plate, with no information regarding its functional form, is solved by applying the conjugate gradient method with adjoint problem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Approximation of the likelihood function in the Bayesian technique for the solution of inverse problems

TL;DR: In this article, the use of radial basis functions for the interpolation of the likelihood function in parameter estimation problems was proposed, which reduced the computational cost associated with the implementation of such Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods without loss of accuracy in the estimated parameters.
Book ChapterDOI

A Survey of Basic Deterministic, Heuristic, and Hybrid Methods for Single-Objective Optimization and Response Surface Generation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method to solve the problem of "10.10.2010.0" and "11.11.2010" in the following order:
