Review of mixed-integer nonlinear and generalized disjunctive programming methods in Process Systems Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents a review of the applications of mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) in process systems engineering (PSE). A review on the main deterministic MINLP solution methods is presented, including an overview of the main MINLP solvers. Generalized disjunctive programming (GDP) is an alternative higher-level representation of MINLP problems. This work reviews some methods for solving GDP models, and techniques for improving MINLP methods through GDP. The paper also provides a high-level review of the applications of MINLP in PSE, particularly in process synthesis, planning and scheduling, process control and molecular computing.

متن کاملSystematic modeling of discrete-continuous optimization models through generalized disjunctive programming
Discrete-continuous optimization problems in process systems engineering are commonly modeled in algebraic form as mixed-integer linear or nonlinear programming models. Since these models can often be formulated in different ways, there is a need for a systematic modeling framework that provides a fundamental understanding on the nature of these models, particularly their continuous relaxations...

متن کاملA mixed integer nonlinear programming model for optimizing a gas pipeline transmission linear network
The technical equipment developed and used in both installation and operation processes in refineries, oil and gas pipelines, and gas booster stations has always been expensive. Hence, managers at different organizational levels are keen to find methods to control and reduce these costs. Generally speaking, the operators in a gas booster station choose the operating devices without considering ...
متن کاملA generalized implicit enumeration algorithm for a class of integer nonlinear programming problems
Presented here is a generalization of the implicit enumeration algorithm that can be applied when the objec-tive function is being maximized and can be rewritten as the difference of two non-decreasing functions. Also developed is a computational algorithm, named linear speedup, to use whatever explicit linear constraints are present to speedup the search for a solution. The method is easy to u...
