Parameter Optimization of Thermal Barrier Coatings used in Two Stoke Externally Scavenged S.I. Engine using Non-Traditional Optimization Algorithms

摘要

Various researchers have studied and introduced, although limited, varieties of thermal barrier coatings (TBC) materials. Each of these TBC materials has their own respective properties. Considering all these properties which one will be the effective choice among the available lot is very difficult to estimate. The optimisation is carried out using non-traditional optimisation techniques namely simple additive weighting method (SAW), weighted product method (WPM), technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) & preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluations (PROMETHEE) are used to find out the best optimal choice for the specified engine. The results of the above mentioned algorithms are compared and presented in this paper to decide which tbc material will perform comparatively better & give accordingly the good results.
