The design and operation of modern technological systems and the proper comprehension
of their interaction with nature (eg, in pollution control and global warming issues) require …

This paper presents basic concepts of inverse and optimization problems. Deterministic and
stochastic minimization techniques in finite and infinite dimensional spaces are revised; …

Stochastic inverse problems in heat conduction with consideration of uncertainties in the
measured temperature data, temperature sensor locations and thermophysical properties …

The engineering community generally accepts that there exists only a small set of closed-
form solutions for simple cases of bars, beams, columns, and plates. Despite the advances …

The surface temperature non-uniformity is crucial in understanding the heat transfer
mechanism of spray cooling. It is also a sensitive factor in the thermal management of …

Systematic methods for the solution of inverse problems have developed significantly during
the past two decades and have become a powerful tool for analysis and design in …

The aim of this work is to determine the time-dependent heat coefficient in a type of inverse
problem for one dimensional time-fractional heat equations defined by the Caputo operator …

The design of the cooling channels in the thermoplastic injection process is one of the most
important steps during the mould design. An inappropriate cooling will lead to defects in the …

This study presents an experimental technique to simultaneously estimate the thermal
conductivity (k) and the specific heat (cp) as functions of temperature of AISI 304 stainless …

This research aims to perform and implement an inverse solution method in waste-to-energy
power plants for carrying out solid waste analysis without sampling. For this purpose, a …
