Towards intelligent systems for boiler design
S. Lu · Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part A Journal of Power and Energy · 1997
This paper describes the application, through examples and comparisons, of artificial intelligence including neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms in three levels of computer aided boiler design: design by mathematical modelling, design by optimization and design by knowledge-based systems. It reviews the state-of-the-art situation and trends for future development in boiler design practice.
