Design and Analysis of Divided Wall Column

In this study, an efficient design method has been proposed for determining the optimal design structure of the dividing wall column. Preliminary design parameters are fixed on the basis of well-known shortcut method (Fenske-Underwood-Gilliland). The rigorous optimization is used to obtain the optimal design parameters of the divided wall column. Divided wall column has total eight design varia...
