PSEA riassunto corso (Process systems engineering)

Descrizione

This document contains the following topics:

1. DYNAMIC CONCEPTUAL DESIGN: evaluation of CAPEX with cost indexes and Guthrie’s formulas; identification of econometric models for the price of commodities (like toluene and benzene), utilities (electric energy) and reference component (crude oil) with ADL model and future scenarios; evaluation of dynamic economic potentials (DEP2, DEP3 and DEP4).
2. CONTINOUS OPTIMIZATION: uncontrained multidimentional optimization with heuristic methods (univariate, simplex, conjugate) and first and second order methods; constrained multidimentional optimization with linear and nonlinear programming (lagrange multipliers, penalty function and SQP).
3. DATA RECONCILIATION
4. DEPRECIATION
5. 0.6 power law rule
6. CASH FLOW (with 2 graphs for the lifecycle of the plant and break-even point).
