Abstract
It is possible to state that improving systems configuration for achieving better performance is the major goal in engineering. In the past, the scientific and technical knowledge combined with practice and intuition has guided engineers in the design of man-made systems for specific purposes. Soon after, the advent of the computational tools has permitted to simulate and evaluate flow architectures with many degrees of freedom. However, while system performance was analyzed and evaluated on a scientific basis, system design was kept at the level of art [1].
