Description
Summary:This thesis is an approach of numerical optimization of thermal design of the ocean turbine developed by the Centre of Ocean Energy and Technology (COET). The technique used here is the integrated method of finite element analysis (FEA) of heat transfer, artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA) for optimization purposes. === by Khaled Kaiser. === Thesis (M.S.C.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2009. === Includes bibliography. === Electronic reproduction.
