Abstract:Reducing production
costs is one of the main objectives of process
intensification; in this work, production costs of the distillation
process are reduced by reducing equipment size and utility consumption
from the perspective of process optimization to achieve the purpose
of process intensification. The application of intelligent optimization
algorithms in the optimization process of distillation is vital to
achieving high efficiency and low costs. Combining the harmony search
algorithm with the characteristi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
