Parameter Design Strategies: A Comparison Between Human Designers and the Simulated Annealing Algorithm

Computer-based tools have great potential for facilitating the design of large-scale engineering systems. Interviews with veteran designers of desalination systems revealed that they tended to employ a trial-and-error approach to determine critical design parameters when using software design packag...
