Abstract

Abstract: 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. Abstract : A workflow for the simultaneous optimization of large and complex chemical engineering problems is introduced. The applicability of the workflow implemented in MOSAIC is exemplified for the process synthesis problem of the oxidative coupling of methane and a data reconciliation problem for the hydroformylation of long‐chained olefins.
