Design and Field Experiment of Synchronous Hole Fertilization Device for Maize Sowing by Feng Pan, Jincheng Chen, Baiwei Wang, Ziheng Fang, Jinxin Liang, Kangkang He, Chao Ji

“…The results showed that the order of primary and secondary factors affecting <i>Y</i>₁ was <i>A</i> > <i>C</i> > <i>B</i>, and that the order affecting <i>Y</i>₂ was <i>C</i> > <i>B</i> > <i>A</i>; the comprehensive performance of the device was best with the optimal parameter combination of <i>A</i> = 4.2 km/h, <i>B</i> = 4.4 g, and <i>C</i> = 30 cm, with <i>Y</i>₁ as high as 94.024 ± 0.694% and <i>Y</i>₂ as low as 3.147 ± 0.058%, which is significantly better than the traditional strip application method. The device realizes the precise regulation of 2~6 g/hole by optimizing the structural parameters of the outer groove wheel (arc center distance of 25 mm, cross-sectional area of 201.02 mm², effective filling length of 2.73~8.19 mm), which can meet the differentiated agronomic needs of ordinary corn, silage corn, and popcorn. …”

Genetic Algorithm-Based Optimization of Online Diesel Fuel Upgrading Process for Nuclear Power Emergency by Lanqi Zhang, Hao Li, Fengyi Liu, Xiangnan Chu, Qi Ma, Haotian Ye

“…To enhance the oxidative stability of aging diesel fuel stored in nuclear power emergency systems, we propose a novel hybrid optimization framework that integrates a Genetic Algorithm (GA), State-Space Network (SSN) modeling, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. Unlike previous studies that address treatment efficiency, flow optimization, or simulation separately, our method achieves real-time, simulation-informed optimization by embedding CFD-based performance evaluation directly into the GA fitness function. …”
