KwangWei - Stochastic Global Optimization.pmd1 8/2/2010, 6:26 PM February10,2010 14:11 SPI-B852 9inx6in b852-fm PREFACE In Chemical Engineering, optimization plays a key role in the design, schedulingandoperationofindustrialreactors,separationprocesses,heat exchangers and complete plants. It is also being used on a larger scale in managing supply chains and production plants across the world. Fur- thermore,optimizationis usefulforunderstandingandmodelingphysical phenomena and processes. Without the use of optimization techniques, chemicalprocesseswouldnotbeasefficientastheyarenow.Optimization has,inshort,proventobeessentialforachievingsustainableprocessesand manufacturing. Inmanyapplications,thekeyistofindtheglobaloptimumandnotjust a local optimum. This is desirable as the former is obviously better than the latter in terms of the desired objective function. In some applications suchasphaseequilibrium,onlytheglobaloptimumisthecorrectsolution. Findingtheglobaloptimumismorechallengingthanfindingalocalopti- mum.Methodsforfindingtheglobaloptimumcanbedividedintotwomain groups:deterministicandstochastic(orprobabilistic)techniques.Stochas- tic global optimization (SGO) techniques involve probabilistic elements and consequently use random numbers in the search for the global opti- mum. They include simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, taboo/tabu searchanddifferentialevolution.SGOtechniqueshaveanumberofattrac- tivefeaturesincludingbeingsimpletounderstandandprogram,requiring no assumptionson the optimization problem, the wide rangeof problems they can solve, their ability to provide robust results for highly nonlin- ear problems even with many decision variables, and faster convergence towardsglobaloptimalsolution. v February10,2010 14:11 SPI-B852 9inx6in b852-fm vi Preface SignificantprogresshasbeenmadeinSGOtechniquesandtheirappli- cationsinthelasttwodecades.However,thereisnobookdevotedtoSGO techniques and their applications in Chemical Engineering, which moti- vated the preparation of this book. The broad objective of this book is to provideanoverviewofanumberofSGOtechniquesandtheirapplications toChemicalEngineering.Accordingly,therearetwopartsinthebook.The firstpart,Chapters2to11,includesdescriptionoftheSGOtechniquesand reviews of their recent modifications and Chemical Engineering applica- tions.Thesecondpart,Chapters12to19,focusesonChemicalEngineering applicationsofSGOtechniques. Each chapter in the book is contributed by well-known and active researcher(s)inthearea.Abriefresumeandphotoofeachofthecontrib- utorstothebook,aregivenontheenclosedCD-ROM.Eachchapterinthe bookwasreviewedanonymouslybyatleasttwoexpertsand/orothercon- tributors. Of the submissionsreceived,only those consideredto be useful foreducationand/orresearchwererevisedbytherespectivecontributor(s), and the revised submissionwas finally reviewed for presentation style by the editor or one of the other contributors. I am grateful to my long-time mentor, Dr. R. Luus, who coordinated the anonymousreview of chapters co-authoredbyme. Thebookwill be usefulto researchersin academiaandresearchinsti- tutions, to engineersandmanagersin processindustries,andto graduates and senior-levelundergraduates.Researchersand engineerscan use it for applying SGO techniques to their processes whereas students can utilize itasasupplementarytextinoptimizationcourses.Eachofthechaptersin thebookcanbereadandunderstoodwithlittlereferencetootherchapters. However, readers are encouraged to go through the Introduction chapter first.Manychapterscontainseveralexercisesattheend,whichcanbeused forassignmentsandprojects.Someoftheseandtheapplicationsdiscussed withinthechapterscanbeusedasprojectsinoptimizationcoursesatboth undergraduateandpostgraduatelevels.Thebookcomeswith a CD-ROM containing many programs and files, which will be helpful to readers in solvingtheexercisesand/ordoingtheprojects.
