It discusses existing techniques, revised in the light of the growing interest in the social implications of transport planning decisions: these include analytical tools to interpret consolidated and emerging phenomena, as well as operational tools to tackle new and existing mobility demands and needs. The book then addresses the implications of everyday mobility for individuals and communities. The result of a continuous exchange between the two authors, it brings together the results of their various research projects. Despite referring to different objects and settings, the work presented is connected by an underlying interest in the impact that mobility has on people in an increasingly mobile world, and the need to include such concerns into mobility planning and policy.PoliMI SpringerBriefs,2282-2585Transportation engineeringTraffic engineeringSociology, UrbanTransportation Technology and Traffic EngineeringUrban SociologyTransportation engineering.Traffic engineering.Sociology, Urban.Transportation Technology and Traffic Engineering.Urban Sociology.388.4307.76Pucci Paolaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut34900Vecchio Giovanniauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910337622703321Enabling Mobilities2105797UNINA03636nam 22005535 450 991062438790332120251009110002.09783031112980(electronic bk.)978303111297310.1007/978-3-031-11298-0(MiAaPQ)EBC7127580(Au-PeEL)EBL7127580(CKB)25219369400041(PPN)265856671(DE-He213)978-3-031-11298-0(OCoLC)1350356704(EXLCZ)992521936940004120221028d2022 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPractical Chemical Process Optimization With MATLAB® and GAMS® /by Ioannis K.

Constrained optimization -- 4. Linear programming -- 5. Integer and Mixed Integer Programming Problems -- 6. Solving optimization problems in GAMS -- 7. Representative optimization problems in chemical engineering solved in GAMS -- Appendix A: Introduction to MATLAB -- Literature and Notes for Further Study -- Index.This text provides the undergraduate chemical engineering student with the necessary tools for problem solving in chemical or bio-engineering processes. In a friendly, simple, and unified framework, the exposition aptly balances theory and practice. It uses minimal mathematical concepts, terms, algorithms, and describes the main aspects of chemical process optimization using MATLAB and GAMS. Numerous examples and case studies are designed for students to understand basic principles of each optimization method and elicit the immediate discovery of practical applications. Problem sets are directly tied to real-world situations most commonly encountered in chemical engineering applications. Chapters are structured with handy learning summaries, terms and concepts, and problem sets, and individually reinforce the basics of particular optimization methods. Additionally, the wide breadth of topics that may be encountered in courses such as Chemical Process Optimization, Chemical Process Engineering, Optimization of Chemical Processes, are covered in this accessible text. The book provides formal introductions to MATLAB, GAMS, and a revisit to pertinent aspects of undergraduate calculus. While created for coursework, this text is also suitable for independent study. A full solutions manual is available to instructors who adopt the text for their course.Springer Optimization and Its Applications,1931-6836 ;197Mathematical optimizationChemical engineeringOptimizationChemical Process EngineeringMathematical optimization.Chemical engineering.Optimization.Chemical Process Engineering.660660.01518Kookos Ioannis K.1264024MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910624387903321Practical Chemical Process Optimization2963267UNINA
