The algorithmic framework developed for improving heuristic solutions of the new version of deterministic TSP [Choi et al., 2002] is extended to the stochastic case. To verify the...
Significant advances have been made in the last two decades for the effective solution of mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problems, mainly by exploiting the special s...
Batch time requirements are provided for the separation of ternary heterogeneous azeotropic mixtures into three pure products in closed batch column configurations. The separation...
This work focuses on the basic stochastic decomposition (SD) algorithm of Higle and Sen [J.L. Higle, S. Sen, Stochastic Decomposition, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996] for two-st...
: This paper describes the implementation of a meta-heuristic optimization approach, Tabu Search (TS), for Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) synthesis and compares this approach to oth...
Multiproduct pipelines permit to transport large volumes of a wide range of refined petroleum products from major supply sources to distribution centers near market areas. Batches...
We consider the dynamic optimization of chemical processes with changes in the number of equilibrium phases. Recent work has shown that transitions in the number of phases can be ...

This paper presents a sequential two-stage strategy for the stochastic synthesis of chemical processes in which flexibility and ability to adjust manipulated variables are taken i...
