The paper presents an application in which a two-objective approach involving cost minimization and resilience maximization is adopted for the new design of Sidi Al Hamri water distribution system (Libya), a new city of nearly 75000 inhabitants to be realized in the Green Mountain region.
New design of Sidi Al Hamri water distribution system (Libya) The design of Sidi Al Hamri water distribution network follows the principles of economic and environmental sustainability, and aims at providing a system characterized by an optimal trade-off between cost and reliability, in order to supply high quality water to all customers with an adequate level of pressure under all demand conditions (including fire protection needs).
Pareto front obtained after 2000 generations for Sidi Al Hamri water distribution system.

The hidden costs of quality had defined by Campanella [12]and had given “The bulk of failure costs are ‘hidden’ below the surface and are usually responsible for “sinking the ship. [12, P.7]” Because of the hidden cost of quality could be happening at any time, and some model was introduced to measure the risk loss from this area, for example, Chen and et al. [13] have shown out the hidden cost of the qualityof the combination of business ethics.
For examples, wu et al. had designed the dynamic fuzzy set for beauty firm to make decision [15], Chen and et al [16] had introduced fuzzy logic to set hypothesis of sequential hypotheses testing model and had given its application, and Chen [17].had developed the fuzzy sample sequential testing model and had shwn out its application.

We have previously reported the catalytic cracking of low density polyethylene employing Mexican natural mordenite zeolite and Al-MCM-41 and Ga-MCM-41 materials [17].
We can compare results with those previously obtained at the same reaction conditions, by thermal cracking (pyrolisis) and by catalytic cracking with Al-MCM-41 and Ga-MCM-41 materials [17].
The main gas products obtained with Al-MCM-41 and GaMCM-41 were isobutene and propylene.
While Al-MCM-41 and Ga-MCM-41 produced a large gasoline yield [17], the HPA-MCM-41 catalyst produced a large proportion of fuel oil, followed by gas oil and then, gasoline and kerosene.

Ibrahim et al. [5] also performed an energy and exergy based analysis of a simple gas turbine plant to evaluate exergy destruction, and found highest exergy destruction in the combustion chamber.
Martin et al. [6] carried out a performance analysis of a 20MW gas turbine plant, and found energy and exergy efficiencies of the plant as 33.77% and 32.25%, respectively.
Ahmed et al. [7] also performed an energy and exergy analysis of a 150 MW gas turbine power plant on Dataflow sheet Kirkuk unit platform where results out of the exergy analysis are presented by Grassmann diagram while that of the energy analysis are presented by Sankey diagram.
Various research studies such as Abam et al. [2], Rahman et al. [12] etc. reported that output power decreases by an amount of about 18% for each 283K increase in temperature of inlet air of the compressor; and for the same, related fuel consumption increases by an amount of about 6%.

This observation aligns with the findings of Werken et al. [15], reported that exceeding the well-dispersed content of carbon reinforcement in a polymer matrix, leads to agglomeration.
Our findings are consistent with the observations reported by Sengupta et al. [16].
