We address in this article a problem that is of significance to the chemical industry, namely,
the optimal design of a multi‐echelon supply chain and the associated inventory systems in …

This paper presents a scheduling solution for electrical load tracking of a steel plant. In the
scheduling problem the electricity consumption of the plant is pre-specified by an energy …

This paper presents an optimization model for the simultaneous synthesis and detailed
design of re-circulating cooling water systems. A cooler network superstructure that embeds …

Heat exchanger network (HEN) synthesis has been a well-studied subject over the past
decades. Many studies and methodologies were proposed to make possible the energy …

A numerical procedure for finding the sparsest and densest realization of a given reaction
network is proposed in this paper. The problem is formulated and solved in the framework of …

The synthesis problem of optimal heat exchanger networks using multiple utilities is
addressed. A mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is developed based on …

This Article presents a mathematical programming model for the mass integration of eco-
industrial parks. The model considers the reuse of wastewater among different industries …

This paper presents a mathematical programming model for the optimal design of mass and
property integration networks that include property interceptors within the structure of the …

As the gas industry has developed, gas pipeline networks have evolved over decades into
very complex systems. A typical network today might consist of thousands of pipes, dozens …
