Due to the intrinsic complexity of two-phase flow distribution and the limited mathematical
flexibility of conventional formulations of the phenomenon, previous attempts generally fall …

A new strategy for the optimization of natural gas liquefaction processes is presented, in
which flowsheets formulated using nondifferentiable process models are efficiently and …

Multistream heat exchangers (MHEXs) are often used in energy‐intensive cryogenic
processes. Modeling them within a process optimization formulation has been a challenge …

Multistream heat exchangers (MHEXs) facilitate simultaneous heat exchange between
multiple streams and are mainly used in energy-intensive cryogenic processes. Reducing …

Natural gas is one of the world's leading sources of fuel in terms of both global production
and consumption. The abundance of reserves that may be developed at relatively low cost …

Systems of nonsmooth equations are very useful in the study of nonlinear complementarity
problems, variational inequality problems, bilevel programming problems, and arise in the …

Abstract According to Escrivá-Escrivá (2011), utility systems are often managed by non-
