Impact of accurate working fluid properties on the globally optimal design of an organic Rankine cycle

Deterministic global optimization of process flowsheets has so far mostly been limited to simplified thermodynamic models. Herein, we demonstrate a way to integrate accurate thermodynamic models for the optimal process design of an organic Rankine …

Deterministic global process optimization: Flash calculations via artificial neural networks

We recently demonstrated the potential of deterministic global optimization in a reduced-space formulation for flowsheet optimization. However, the consideration of implicit unit operations such as flash calculations is still challenging and the …
