Description:
This
textbook presents a general multi-objective optimization framework for
optimizing chemical processes by implementing a link between process simulators
and metaheuristic techniques. The proposed approach is general and shows how to
implement links between different process simulators such as Aspen Plus®,
HYSIS®, Super Pro Designer® linked to a variety of metaheuristic techniques
implemented in Matlab®, Excel®, C++, and others, eliminating the numerical
complications through the optimization process. Furthermore, the proposed
framework allows the use of thermodynamic, design and constitutive equations
implemented in the process simulator to implement any process. Aimed at
graduate and undergraduate students, it presents introductory chapters for
process simulators and metaheuristic optimization techniques and provides
several worked exercises as well as proposed exercises. In addition,
accompanying tutorial videos clearly explaining the implemented methodologies
are available online. Also, some Matlab® routines are included as electronic
supporting material.
