Solving a Separation-Network Synthesis Problem by Interval Global Optimization Technique

A new solution technique is proposed here for a specific kind of separation-network synthesis (SNS) problem, using Branch-and-Bound (B&B) framework and linear programming (LP). The suggested method determines effectively the structure and flowrates of the optimal separation network. The method i...
