Presenting a systematic model reduction and hierarchical controller design framework for
broad classes of integrated process systems encountered in practice, this book first studies …

Most of the published studies have focused on the thermal integration of nonreactive
distillation columns. The key limitation of reactive distillation (RD) technology is that the …

Differential algebraic equation (DAE) systems of semi-explicit type arise naturally in the
modeling of chemical engineering processes. The differential equations typically arise from …

Isopropyl acetates are important organic solvents that are widely used in the production of
varnishes, ink, synthetic resins, and adhesive agents. Previous studies developed a process …

We illustrate the application of a graph reduction method developed recently to analyze
complex energy‐integrated process networks. The method uses information on the energy …

Vapor recompressed batch distillation (VRBD) is an energy‐integrated configuration which
works on the principle of a heat pump. Operation of such a column is challenging due to …

This paper focuses on the analysis of complex (multi-loop) energy-integrated process
networks. Simple (single-loop) energy-integrated networks (comprising of large energy …

The bond graph methodology for modelling an integrated energy distillation column is
applied in this paper. The distillation column is built by five trays for a binary mixture …

Energy integrated networks, designed to reduce energy consumption, offer cost savings at
the expense of challenging operation. Simple networks with energy integration, involving …

This paper presents cost-effective heat pump assisted vapor recompression (VRC) design
algorithms for the separation of ternary wide boiling mixture in batch distillation in order to …
