Optimization under uncertainty has been an active area of research for many years.
However, its application in Process Systems Engineering has faced a number of important …

Flexibility analysis and robust optimization are two approaches to solving optimization
problems under uncertainty that share some fundamental concepts, such as the use of …

We formulate the capacity expansion planning as a bilevel optimization to model the
hierarchical decision structure involving industrial producers and consumers. The …

One of the key fundamentals for organizations to remain competitive in the present
economic climate is to effectively manage their supply chains under uncertainty. The notion …

In this paper, we study a capacitated facility location problem with two decision makers. One
(say, the leader) decides on which subset of facilities to open and the capacity to be installed …

The operational conditions of hydrogen networks in practical refineries commonly fluctuate
due to variation of feed properties, loss of catalyst activity, change of market demand …

The volumetric flexibility index (FI v) of a chemical system can be viewed geometrically as
the ratio between the hypervolume of feasible region and that of a hypercube bounded by …

The flexibility of a manufacturing process is defined as its ability to accommodate variations
and thus, operate in a stable manner for a range of conditions. The subject of flexibility …

The spatial temperature distribution in the highly energy‐intensive furnace unit in a steam
reforming‐based hydrogen manufacturing plant determines the energy efficiency of the …

The unsteady chemical processes, designed according to the nominal operating conditions
and fixed model parameters, have traditionally been evaluated with economic criteria. This …
