The purpose of this review is three-fold. First, sketch the directions that research and
industrial applications of “intelligent systems” have taken in several areas of process …

This paper provides a critical review of the literature on heat-exchanger network synthesis,
the most commonly studied problem in process synthesis. After a review of solution …

The methodology presented in the paper combines insights from Water Pinch with
mathematical programming. The approach applies to mass exchanger network and …

Currently, chemical process design and process control are separate disciplines assisting
process development at different stages. Design and control decisions are made separately …

Over the last three decades, flexibility and controllability considerations for heat exchanger
networks (HENs) have received great attention, respectively. However, they should be …

In this work we introduce the problem of synthesizing combined heat and reactive mass
exchange networks “CHARMENs”. The synthesis task involves the preferential transfer of a …

In the last few decades, heat exchanger networks have been widely adopted to recover
thermal energy. Recently, mass exchanger networks have gained attention for recovering …

This paper discusses the online optimization and control of a heat-exchanger network (HEN)
through a two-level control structure. The low level is a constrained model predictive control …

A procedure was developed for on‐line optimization and control systems of heat‐exchanger
networks, which features a two‐level control structure, one for a constant configuration …

Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is a significant challenge across various domains,
requiring adept resolution of conflicts arising from diverse objectives and criteria. This study …
