Simultaneous process optimization and heat integration based on rigorous process simulations

Simultaneous Optimization and Heat Integration Framework Based on Rigorous Process Simulations

This paper introduces a novel simultaneous optimization and heat integration approach, which can be used directly with the rigorous models in process simulators. In this approach, the overall process is optimized utilizing external derivative-free optimizers, which interact directly with the process simulation. The heat integration subproblem is formulated as an LP model and solved simultaneous...

Simultaneous Optimization of Production and Quality in a Deterioration Process

Achieving optimal production cycle time for improving manufacturing processes is one of the common problems in production planning. During recent years, different approaches have been developed for solving this problem, but most of them assume that mean quality characteristic is constant over production run length and sets it on customer’s target value. However, the process mean may drift from ...
