13. Global optimization of capacity expansion and flow assignment in multicommodity networks
This paper describes an exact algorithm to solve a nonlinear mixed-integer programming model due to capacity expansion and flow assignment in multicommodity networks. The model combines continuous multicommodity flow variables associated with nonlinear congestion costs and discrete decision variables associated with the arc expansion costs. After establishin

14. Controle preditivo baseado em modelo neuro-fuzzy de sistemas não-lineares aplicado em sistema de refrigeração = : Model predictive control based on neuro-fuzzy nonlinear systems applied to a refrigeration plant / Model predictive control based on neuro-fuzzy nonlinear systems applied to a refrigeration plant
Refrigeration systems can be found in many different branches of industry and are characterized as great energy consumers with considerable non-linear behavior. Several studies have been developed to promote the reduction of energy costs and to minimize the effects of nonlinearities in these systems. The use of automation and process control, particularly th

15. Estratégias com garantia de estabilidade para a integração de controle preditivo e otimização em tempo real. / Strategies with guarantee of stability for the integration of model predictive control and real time optimization
The aim of this Thesis is the development of predictive controllers (MPC) with guarantee of stability and that are part of a control structure where Real Time Optimization (RTO) is present and produces optimizing targets for the predictive controller. The approaches of two and three-layer are considered. Three different strategies are presented: the first st

16. Drying kinetics, structural characteristics and vitamin C retention of dedo-de-moça pepper (Capsicum baccatum) during convective and freeze drying
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the drying process on the vitamin C levels and physical properties of dedo-de-moça pepper. The drying kinetics and the structural properties were determined as a function of moisture content. Convective drying was compared with freeze-drying in terms of product quality, structural properties, re

17. A new method for decision making in multi-objective optimization problems
Many engineering sectors are challenged by multi-objective optimization problems. Even if the idea behind these problems is simple and well established, the implementation of any procedure to solve them is not a trivial task. The use of evolutionary algorithms to find candidate solutions is widespread. Usually they supply a discrete picture of the non-domina

18. A filled function method for nonlinear systems of equalities and inequalities
In this paper a filled function method is suggested for solving nonlinear systems of equalities and inequalities. Firstly, the original problem is reformulated into an equivalent constrained global optimization problem. Subsequently, a new filled function with one parameter is constructed based on the special characteristics of the reformulated optimization

19. Maximum thermodynamic efficiency problem in batch distillation
A dynamic batch distillation study of the non-ideal mixture Ethanol-Water is presented. The objective of the study was to calculate an average thermodynamic efficiency of the process under an optimal constant reflux policy and the objective function includes a given production time in order to obtain the desired product quality (measured as the average mole

20. Maximum profit cogeneration plant - MPCP: system modeling, optimization problem formulation, and solution
The well-known CGAM optimization problem was formulated to serve as a benchmark for comparison of different thermoeconomic methodologies. The CGAM cogeneration plant produced 30 MW of power and 14 kg/s of saturated vapor at 20 bar. The objective function was the total cost rate of the system, related to thermodynamic variables and installation costs. Because

21. Process analysis and optimization mapping through design of experiments and its application to a polymerization process
The technique of experimental design is used on an ethylene polymerization process model in order to map the feasible optimal region as preliminary information for process optimization. Through the use of this statistical tool, together with a detailed deterministic model validated with industrial data, it is possible to identify the most relevant variables

22. A global linearization approach to solve nonlinear nonsmooth constrained programming problems
In this paper we introduce a new approach to solve constrained nonlinear non-smooth prograing probles ith any desirable accuracy even hen the objective function is a non-smooth one. In this approach for any given desirable accuracy, all the nonlinear functions of original problem (in objective function and in constraints) are approximated by a piecewise line
