2. Simultaneous Transfer of Na+, K+, and Fe2+ Ions During Salting of Precooked Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus): Mathematical Modeling, Optimization, and Experimental Validation

The champignon mushroom has no antinutritional factors that can affect iron bioavailability. It is considered a functional food and can provide health benefits by presenting bioactive components. The simultaneous transfer of Na+, K+ and Fe2+ in the pre-cooked mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) was modeled and simulated by the finite element method (FEM). The Biot

4. Mathematical Modeling of the Transesterification Reaction by Finite Elements: Optimization of Kinetic Parameters Using the Simplex Sequential Method

The use of biodiesel as fuel has been presented as a viable alternative in the search for renewable energies. It can be produced from the transesterification reaction of vegetable oils with methanol in the presence of sodium or potassium hydroxide as catalysts. In the present research, the transesterification reaction of soybean oil was modeled considering t

9. Optimum mine production rate based on price uncertainty

Abstract The production rate of a mining operation has an important effect on the operational cycle and gross profit, which are often evaluated based on engineering practices. Assessment of the economic performance of mine operations in mining engineering is of great importance because an incorrect production rate can result in significant financial losses.
