Study on Jocabi Iteration and Matrix Dissociation in Batch Distillation Simulation

a study on rate making and required reserves determination in reinsurance market: a simulation

reinsurance is widely recognized as an important instrument in the capital management of an insurance company as well as its risk management tool. this thesis is intended to determine premium rates for different types of reinsurance policies. also, given the fact that the reinsurance coverage of every company depends upon its reserves, so different types of reserves and the method of their calc...

Batch Distillation: Simulation and Experimental Validation

Batch industries, specially the fine chemical industry, need rapid and robust mathematical models that can easily predict the degree of separation of mixtures like volatile organic compounds. Otherwise, in the study of on line production scheduling and planning of fine chemical plants, there is a lack of quick but reliable and more accurate than black box models in batch distillation. In this w...

Tools for Teaching Batch Distillation Inductively using Process Simulation

One approach to active learning involves taking students through a guided exploration process; one which ensures students will observe phenomena and then be asked questions intended to draw conclusions regarding the observations. In recent years, this has been called inductive teaching, but more recently the expression “inquiry-based instruction” or related terms have become more common. Concur...

Batch-Switching Policy Iteration

Policy Iteration (PI) is a widely-used family of algorithms for computing an optimal policy for a given Markov Decision Problem (MDP). Starting with an arbitrary initial policy, PI repeatedly updates to a dominating policy until an optimal policy is found. The update step involves switching the actions corresponding to a set of “improvable” states, which are easily identified. Whereas progress ...
