In this work, we propose an evolutionary optimisation procedure which intensively uses both conceptual and rigorous models for the design and simulation of unit operations involved in a bio-ethanol purification process. ...

The most common method to validate a DEVS model against the requirements is to simulate it several times under different conditions, with some simulation tool. The behavior of the model is compared with what the system is ...

A novel simulation strategy for dynamic distillation of complex mixtures, such as wine, is proposed and evaluated in terms of computing efficiency and accuracy. The model developed describes wine distillation as a ...

A pseudo dynamic rigorous model of a bio-ethanol processor system (BPS) to produce hydrogen for feeding a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEM-FC) is presented. The main contribution of this work is to give the overall ...

We present an evolutionary optimization procedure applied to the design and simulation of the unit operations in a bioethanol purification plant. Conceptual and rigorous models are used; the first are utilized to determine ...
