This paper clearly shows that the recently proposed terrain methodology of Lucia and Yang (2003) can be used to solve steady-state distillation problems in a reliable and efficien...
The once-through heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) design is ideally matched to very high temperature and pressure, well into the supercritical range. Moreover this type of boi...
This paper treats the solution of nonlinear optimization problems involving discrete decision variables, also known as generalized disjunctive programming (GDP) or mixed-integer n...
A large number of problems in production planning and scheduling, location, transportation, finance, and engineering design require that decisions be made in the presence of uncer...
The results of experimental testing of balanced random interval arithmetic with typical mathematical test functions and practical problem are presented and discussed. The possibili...
In the literature, optimization models deal with planning and scheduling of several subsystems of the petroleum supply chain such as oilfield infrastructure, crude oil supply, ref...
Numerous approaches to information modeling exist within chemical engineering representing product data, work processes, or other information. These models have a limited scope an...
Following from part I, which presents a retrospective on optimization, we focus here on areas that are recent active research topics and are likely to strongly influence the futur...
