A Hybrid Approach for Chemical Process Optimization$$$$ SA/LP Algorithm

摘要

By combining Simulated Annealing(SA) with Linear Programming(LP), a hybrid approach - SA/LP algorithm is proposed for chemical process optimization. This approach is used to solve batch process design and synthesis of distillation sequences problems which appear to be nonconvex and combinatorial. The computing results show that SA/LP algorithm has a good ability of global convergence. It is far more efficient in computing time and needs less storage.
