World Scientific Publishing Company Differential Evolution In Chemical Engineering - WSPC Book

Optimization is a fundamental part of designing, planning, and operating chemical processes. This volume in the Advances In Process Systems Engineering series explores how stochastic techniques address complex optimization challenges. Unlike deterministic methods, stochastic approaches can solve various types of problems and adapt to multiple objectives. This book focuses on Differential Evolution (DE), a stochastic technique introduced about two decades ago. DE is recognized for having an algorithm that is simple to understand and easy to use. The text covers the various ways DE has been applied within the field of chemical engineering to improve process efficiency and system design. It serves as a specialized resource for those studying or working in process systems engineering and chemical process optimization.
