β¦ Synopsis
The design relations of many engineering systems are obtained by dimensional analysis or fitting power functions to experimental data. This paper describes a nonlinear optimization technique called "generalized polynomial programming", an extension of geometric programming, which optimizes the design or operating conditions of engineering systems involving these relations. A simple problem in heat transmission is formulated and solved to demonstrate the technique.
