... for turbine and compressor components, an energy source temperature of 600 °C, an ambient temperature of 27 °C, and pressure limits of 75 bar and 200 bar. Optimization results show that recompression–reheating cycle achieves the highest efficiency of 39.62% at an optimum intermediate pressure of 139.43 bar...

... purposes today, the pendulum clock's working principles and mechanical behavior can serve to demonstrate fundamental science and engineering concepts. The tradeoff between a clock's quality factor, pendulum properties, and period can best be explored with multiple objective optimization and tradespace...
