Shah N, Pantelides CC, Sargent RWH, 1993, Optimal periodic scheduling of multipurpose batch plants, Annals of Operations Research, Vol: 42, Pages: 193-228, ISSN: 0254-5330

A rigorous mathematical programming framework for the scheduling of multipurpose batch plants operated in a cyclic mode is presented. The proposed formulation can deal with batch operations described by complex processing networks, involving shared intermediates, material recycles, and multiple processing routes to the same end-product or intermediate. Batch aggregation and splitting are also allowed. The formulation permits considerable flexibility in the utilisation of processing equipment and storage capacity, and accommodates problems with limited availability of utilities. The scheduling problem is formulated as a large mixed integer linear program (MILP). For a given cycle time, it is shown that it is sufficient for the formulation to characterize a single cycle of the periodic schedule despite the existence of tasks that span two successive cycles. The optimal cycle time is determined by solving a sequence of fixed cycle time problems. The MILP is solved by a branch-and-bound algorithm modified so as to avoid exploring branches that are cyclic permutations of others already fathomed. The resulting implementation permits the solution of problems of realistic size within reasonable computational effort. Several examples are used to illustrate the applicability of the algorithm. © 1993 J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers.

THE PAPER DESCRIBES THE COMPUTATION OF THE FLOW, REACTION, AND HEAT TRANSFER IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER REGION OF A TYPICAL INDUSTRIAL GLASS PRODUCING FURNACE. THE ECONOMY OF THE COMPUTATION IS CONSIDERABLY ENHANCED BY THE USE OF SPECIAL GRIDS; BY THE SEPARATE CALCULATION OF THE BURNER AND BULK COMBUSTION CHAMBER REGIONS IN A MANNER WHICH TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE DIFFERING PHYSICAL NATURE OF THEIR FLOWS; AND BY A NOVELTECHNIQUE FOR THE HANDLING OF THE THERMAL RADIATION. PREDICTIONS WHICH DEMONSTRATE THE VALUE OF SUCH COMPUTATIONS TO FURNACE DESIGNERS ARE SHOWN FOR A RANGE OF OPERATING PARAMETERS.

The paper describes the computation of the flow, reaction and heat transfer in the combustion chamber region of a typical industrial glass producing furnace. The economy of the computations is enhanced by: the use of special grids; the separate calculation of the burner and bulk combustion chamber regions in a manner which takes account of the differing physical nature of their flows; and by a novel technique for the handling of the thermal radiation.

Lockwood FC, Shah NG, 1976, IMPROVED FLUX MODEL FOR THE CALCULATION OF RADIATION HEAT TRANSFER IN COMBUSTION CHAMBERS., American Society of Mechanical Engineers (Paper), ISSN: 0402-1215

The numerical integration of the integro differential equation of radiation is too time consuming to be incorporated in an economical method for the prediction of the flow and chemical reaction in combustion chambers. A model is presented for the radiation transfer of the so-called 'flux' or 'differential approximation' variety. A six-term Taylor's series expansion is used to represent the directional dependency of intensity. This is substituted into the transfer equation which is then integrated over six selected angles to yield a closed set of partial differential flux equations. The angles of integration are made dependent on the local intensity distribution. Some preliminary comparisons with exact solutions for a hypothetical chamber indicate that this method is capable of yielding excellent accuracy.
