Abstract
This article concerns the development of a simple yet effective procedure for optimizing the design of a reactor system employing CSTRs in series. The basic approach used in this work was to translate the problem of reactor design to a mathematical programming model. The resulting model was then solved by dynamic programming. The procedure was tested on an IBM 3033 computer and an IBM PC-compatible machine, the CORONA PC-II microcomputer. The results of this study indicate that the optimization procedure developed is very effective.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
