Accuracy of an instrument has been traditionally defined as the sum of the precision and the bias. Recently, this notion was generalized to estimators [Bagajewicz, M. (2005a). On ...
In this work we develop, demonstrate, and distribute the code for a new Simulink block that models the dynamic evolution of the population density function for a physical system w...
Chemical supply chain networks provide large opportunities for cost reductions through the redesign of the flow of material from producer to customer. In this paper we present a m...
The minimum singular value (MSV) rule is a useful tool for selecting controlled variables (CVs) from the available measurements. However, the application of the MSV rule to large-...
Protein structure determination and prediction has been a focal research subject in life sciences due to the importance of protein structure in understanding the biological and ch...
The problem of optimal synthesis of an integrated water system is addressed in this work, where water using processes and water treatment operations are combined into a single net...
This paper proposes a new MINLP model for heat exchanger network synthesis that includes streams with phase change. The model considers every possible combination of process strea...
Scheduling product batches in pipelines is a very complex task with many constraints to be considered. Several papers have been published on the subject during the last decade. Mo...
