A case study for optimal reactor networks synthesis: styrene polymerization
TL;DR: In this paper, an optimal network synthesis of chemical reactors producing polystyrene by a bulk continuous industrial technology is presented. But the procedure applied consists of four steps: proposal of the reactor network superstructure, mathematical modeling of the superstructure and optimization of the superstructures, analysis by simulation of the optimal values.
An algorithmic method for reactor network synthesis
TL;DR: This study presents a novel nonlinear programming (NLP) formulation for optimally generating this reactor network that includes networks with ideal and nonideal reactors as well as complex mixing patterns.

Quasi-linearization, non-linear boundary value problems and optimization
TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-linearization technique was used to solve non-linear differential equations of the two-point boundary value type encountered in chemical engineering, which can be used to overcome the boundary value difficulties in the calculus of variation.
