AB - The design of mixtures plays an important role in improving process and product performancebut is challenging because it requires finding the optimal number, identities and compositions ofmixture components and using nonlinear property models. To address this, a general modelingframework for mixture design problems is presented. It integrates Generalized Disjunctive Programming(GDP) into Computer-Aided Mixture/blend Design via Hull Reformulation (HR). Thedesign methodology is applied successfully to a case study involving solid-liquid equilibrium calculationsto find an optimal solvent mixture that dissolves ibuprofen. The results show that theproposed GDP-based approach appears very promising for the design of mixture problems. TheHR approach is used to solve mixture problems successfully. Its overall computational efficiencyis found to be better than that of Big-M approach. Numerical difficulties arising from the absenceof components in the final mixture can be avoided, leading to computationally efficient solutions.
