In this work, we propose a superstructure optimization approach for the optimal design of an ethylene and propylene coproduction plant. We formulate a superstructure that embeds ethane and propane steam cracking technologies, ...

The design of a dairy plant and its associated processes is often an open-ended problem with many possible solutions. Each design solution may have a unique impact on production capacity, process control, safety, environment ...

The paper explores the theoretical and conceptual aspects of urban life quality (ULQ) synthesized in a model that includes the physical support of the cities, in our case of intermediate scales. This model considers the ...

The knowledge of droplet size distributions in a gas-liquid separation equipment is of high relevance due to the importance of removal efficiency in these systems. Different techniques could be used to measure droplet size, ...
