Abstract

Optimization of chemical processes often leads to nonlinear programming problems that are non-convex. Such problems may possess many local optima, whose objective function values vary significantly from one to another. Thus identifying the global optimum is an important, albeit difficult, endeavor. A deterministic algorithm based on interval analysis branch and bound is proposed in this paper to be suitable for global optimization of chemical processes.
