In this paper, a more convenient and effective approach is proposed by combined using of CFD, multi-objective genetic algorithm(MOGA) and artificial neural networks(ANN) for a double-channel pump's impeller, with maximum head and efficiency set as optimization objectives, four key geometrical parameters including inlet diameter, outlet diameter, exit width and midline wrap angle chosen as optimization parameters. Firstly, a multi-fidelity fitness assignment system in which fitness of impellers serving as training and comparison samples for ANN is evaluated by CFD, meanwhile fitness of impellers generated by MOGA is evaluated by ANN, is established and dramatically reduces the computational expense. Then, a modified MOGA optimization process, in which selection is performed independently in two sub-populations according to two optimization objectives, crossover and mutation is performed afterword in the merged population, is developed to ensure the global optimal solution to be found. Finally, Pareto optimal frontier is found after 500 steps of iterations, and two optimal design schemes are chosen according to the design requirements. The preliminary and optimal design schemes are compared, and the comparing results show that hydraulic performances of both pumps 1 and 2 are improved, with the head and efficiency of pump 1 increased by 5.7% and 5.2%, respectively in the design working conditions, meanwhile shaft power decreased in all working conditions, the head and efficiency of pump 2 increased by 11.7% and 5.9%, respectively while shaft power increased by 5.5%. Inner flow field analyses also show that the backflow phenomenon significantly diminishes at the entrance of the optimal impellers 1 and 2, both the area of vortex and intensity of vortex decreases in the whole flow channel. This paper provides a promising tool to solve the hydraulic optimization problem of pumps' impellers.展开更多

Altogether 120 subjects participated in this experiment and were required to take the proofreading exercise in limited time. The experimental results showed that Chinese EFL learners at different levels of proficiency acquired the core subclass of double object construction better than peripheral ones;meanwhile, learners at higher levels of proficiency outperformed those at lower levels, especially in the peripheral types. Relevant theoretical interpretations were given thereafter to the above research findings, with the hope to shed some light on the learning of double object construction by Chinese EFL learners.展开更多

We describe the case of a 68 year old man who accidentally a swallowed sharp-pointed dental reamer that had reached deep in his jejunum. Double balloon enteroscopic retrieval was performed with polypectomy snare but the reamer was entangled in the wire loop of the snare and penetrated the jejunal wall. After releasing the reamer by pushing and pulling the snare for approximately 30 min, the reamer was retrieved with biopsy forceps. This is the first report of double balloon enteroscopic removal of a dental reamer. Furthermore, this is a novel case with regard to decision making in situations when sharp objects are swallowed.展开更多

For this purpose the wind field at a level under consideration is taken in the ratio form with that of 850 hPa level and the coefficients of the double Fouricr series are computed. These coefficients are subsequently used to computethe winds which are compared with the actual winds. The results of the double Fourier series technique are comparedwith those of the polynomial surface fitting method developed by Bavadekar and Khaladkar (1 992). The technique isalso applied for the daily wind data of 11. June, 1979 and the validation of the technique is tested for a few radiosondestations of india. The computed winds for these radiosonde stations arc quite close to observed winds.展开更多

Chaotic sequences produced by Lorenz equation are used to tune the acceleration coefficients for the balance between exploration and exploitation, the dynamic self-adaptive inertia weight factor is used to accelerate the converging speed, and the double population purposes to enhance convergence accuracy. The experiment was carried out with four multi-objective test functions compared with two classical multi-objective algorithms, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm and multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm has excellent performance with faster convergence rate and strong ability to jump out of local optimum, could use to solve many optimization problems.展开更多
