This paper presents an overview of the recent advances in deterministic global optimization approaches and their applications in the areas of Process Design and Control. The focus is on global optimization methods for (a) twice-diierentiable constrained nonlinear optimization problems, (b) mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problems, and (c) locating all solutions of nonlinear systems of equa...

In this paper, the response surface methodology (RSM) and finite element (FE) simulation were applied to optimize push-bending process parameters of thin-walled tube with polyurethane mandrel. The objective present work is predict optimal set including length diameter ratio mandrel (L/D), friction coefficient between die ( $${\mu }_{1}$$ ), }_{2}$$ Poisson’s $$\upsilon$$ ) obtain qualified bent...

in this paper, first a sensitivity analysis of parameters affecting the performance of the steam generator is performed. this process includes the pinch temperature difference and the gas velocity (width of the hrsg) as the operating parameter and geometrical parameters (fin’s thickness, fin’s height, number of fins in each inch, tube transverse pitch) for each pressure parts is carried out, an...
