Boston-Sullivan algorithm

This algorithm is based on the use of newly defined energy and volatility parameters as the primary successive approximation variables, and Broyden s method is used to iterate on these parameters. A brief review of the Boston-Sullivan Algorithm follows. 

The inside-out algorithm has become one of the most popular methods because of its robustness and its ability to solve a wide variety of columns. The inside-out concept was developed by Boston and Sullivan (69) and Boston (70). RuBsell (72) presented an inside-out method that works well for many refinery frectionators. Jelinek (73) presented a simplified Russell method. 

The Boslon method. The original Boston and Sullivan (69) inside-out algorithm has evolved to that presented by Boston and Britt (71), Boston (70), and Trevino-Lozano et aL (74). There have bsen more advances to the Boston method which were not reported in the literature. The concepts of outside loop JE-value and enthalpy models with the inside-loop column solution is preserved throughout.
