MOSAIC - Enabling Large-Scale Equation-Based Flow Sheet Optimization
Dedicated software exists for both process simulation and optimization. Given the advantages of simultaneous optimization schemes, engineers are frequently tasked with reimplementing their simulation models in optimization languages or environments. In this contribution, a workflow is introduced to model chemical engineering models in MathML and to have an automatic code generation for both specialized simulation and optimization tools. Two examples are given to highlight the performance of this workflow implemented in the modeling, simulation, and optimization environment MOSAIC.
