Stochastic Process Optimization using Aspen Plus

Stochastic Process Optimization using Aspen Plus

Stochastic Process Optimization using Aspen® PlusBookshop Category: Chemical EngineeringOptimization can be simply defined as choosing the best alternative among a set of feasible options. In all the engineering areas optimization has a wide range of applications due to the high number of decisions involved in an engineering environment. Chemical engineering and particularly process engineering is not an exception; thus stochastic methods are a good option to solve optimization problems for the complex process engineering models. In this book the combined use of the modular simulator Aspen® Plus and stochastic optimization methods codified in MATLAB is presented. Some basic concepts of optimization are first presented then strategies to use the simulator linked with the optimization algorithm are shown. Finally examples of application for process engineering are discussed. The reader will learn how to link the process simulator Aspen® Plus and stochastic optimization algorithms to solve process design problems. They will gain ability to perform multi-objective optimization in several case studies. Key Features:• The book links simulation and optimization through numerical analyses and stochastic optimization techniques • Includes use of examples to illustrate the application of the concepts and specific guidance on the use of software (Aspen® Plus Excel MATLB) to set up and solve models representing complex problems. • Illustrates several examples of applications for the linking of simulation and optimization software with other packages for optimization purposes. • Provides specific information on how to implement stochastic optimization with process simulators. • Enable readers to identify practical and economic solutions to problems of industrial relevance enhancing the safety operation environmental and economic performance of chemical processes. | Stochastic Process Optimization using Aspen Plus®

The Standard Model and Beyond

The Standard Model and Beyond

This new edition of The Standard Model and Beyond presents an advanced introduction to the physics and formalism of the standard model and other non-abelian gauge theories. It provides a solid background for understanding supersymmetry string theory extra dimensions dynamical symmetry breaking and cosmology. In addition to updating all of the experimental and phenomenological results from the first edition it contains a new chapter on collider physics; expanded discussions of Higgs neutrino and dark matter physics; and many new problems. The book first reviews calculational techniques in field theory and the status of quantum electrodynamics. It then focuses on global and local symmetries and the construction of non-abelian gauge theories. The structure and tests of quantum chromodynamics collider physics the electroweak interactions and theory and the physics of neutrino mass and mixing are thoroughly explored. The final chapter discusses the motivations for extending the standard model and examines supersymmetry extended gauge groups and grand unification. Thoroughly covering gauge field theories symmetries and topics beyond the standard model this text equips readers with the tools to understand the structure and phenomenological consequences of the standard model to construct extensions and to perform calculations at tree level. It establishes the necessary background for readers to carry out more advanced research in particle physics. Supplementary materials are provided on the author’s website and a solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.

Net-Zero and Positive Energy Communities Best Practice Guidance Based on the ZERO-PLUS Project Experience

Net-Zero and Positive Energy Communities Best Practice Guidance Based on the ZERO-PLUS Project Experience

This book presents a methodology for the design construction monitoring optimization and post-occupancy evaluation of net-zero and positive-energy communities based on the experiences gained in the EU Horizon 2020 ZERO-PLUS project. It describes the steps tools and methods developed during the project providing practical information for the energy and construction sector that will be of interest to students engineers architects developers and professionals working around high performance architecture and sustainable communities. Through the ZERO-PLUS project a consortium of 32 partners from eight countries including academic institutions technology providers architects and construction companies designed four communities covering completely different geo-climatic regions construction practices and cultural backgrounds in Cyprus Italy France and the UK. The communities were designed optimized constructed monitored handed over to tenants post-occupancy evaluated and troubleshooted through a system of continuous collaboration and data acquisition. This book presents these case studies and shows how the project targets of reducing electricity consumption below 20 kWh/m2/y increasing electricity production from Renewable Energy Systems to over 50 kWh/m2/y and at cheaper costs when compared to current zero-energy buildings were reached and surpassed. These cases demonstrate that a holistic and interactive approach to design and construction can bring communities a high standard of sustainability. The key features of the book include: Practical guidance drawn from the interdisciplinary international and remote cooperation between experts from academia and industry across the construction sector A survey of the state-of-the-art on net-zero and positive-energy communities including the experience and the lessons learned from previous projects and from the ZERO-PLUS project Descriptions of novel emerging renewable energy technologies integrated into real case study communities to achieve the energy generation target of the communities A comprehensive set of approaches tools guidelines best practices challenges and lessons learned from the five-year ZERO-PLUS project and the completion of four residential case studies to inform the reader of how to achieve affordable net-zero energy communities Four typologies of residential communities located in different climatic conditions are presented touching on the critical aspects of the design construction monitoring and occupancy phase A discussion of future trends for developing communities that are more liveable accessible and sustainable and which can comply with new energy policies in a way that is affordable for the owners and residents. | Net-Zero and Positive Energy Communities Best Practice Guidance Based on the ZERO-PLUS Project Experience

Taming the Vernacular From dialect to written standard language

Taming the Vernacular From dialect to written standard language

Taming the Vernacular: From Dialect to Written Standard Language examines the differences between 'standard' and 'nonstandard' varieties of several different languages. Not only are some of the best-known languages of Europe represented here but also some that have been less well-researched in the past. The chapters address the syntax of Dutch English French Finnish Galician German and Spanish. For these languages and many others it is the standard varieties on which the most extensive syntactic research has been carried out with the result that very little is known about the syntax of their dialects or the spoken colloquial varieties. The editors of this volume seek to redress the balance by taking a cross-linguistic perspective on the historical development of the standardised varieties. This allows them to identify some common characteristics of spoken language. It also helps the reader to understand the kinds of filtering processes that are involved in standardization which result in the syntax of spoken colloquial language being different from the syntax of the standard varieties. Taming the Vernacular: From Dialect to Written Standard Language is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Linguistics particularly those taking courses in sociolinguistics dialectology and historical linguistics. The focus on a variety of languages also makes this text suitable for students studying courses which cover the linguistic aspects of European languages. | Taming the Vernacular From dialect to written standard language
