Sommario/riassunto

This volume presents the fundamentals of nonlinear and mixed-integer optimisation, and their applications in the important area of process synthesis in chemical engineering. Topics that are unique include the theory and methods for mixed-integer nonlinear optimisation, introduction to modelling issues in process synthesis, and optimisation-based approaches in the synthesis of heat recovery systems, distillation-based systems, and reactor-based systems.
