Glover transformation

Constraints (4.10) still entails nonconvex bilinear terms comprising of a binary and a continuous variable. However, this type of bilinearity can be readily linearized exactly using Glover transformation (1975). Constraints (4.11), (4.12), (4.13), (4.14) and (4.15) together constitute a linearized form of constraints (4.10). In constraints (4.11), the first and the second bilinear terms from constraints (4.10) have been replaced by continuous variables Ti and T2, respectively. Ti is defined in constraints (4.12) and (4.13), and V2 in constraints (4.14) and (4.15). 

The first minor change to the mass balance constraints from the scheduling formulation is found in constraint (8.2), which defines the size of a batch. In the synthesis formulation, the batch size is determined by the optimal size of the processing unit. Due to this being a variable, constraint (8.2) is reformulated to reflect this and is given in constraint (8.59). The nonlinearity present in constraint (8.59) is linearised exactly using Glover transformation (1975) as presented in Chapter 4. 

There are two forms of nonlinearities in constraint (9.77). The first comprises of a continuous variable and a binary variable and the second comprises of two continuous variables. The first nonlinearity can be linearised exactly using a Glover transformation (1975) and the second can be linearised using a relaxation-linearization technique proposed by Quesada and Grossman (1995), where necessary. 

The foregoing constraints constitute the full heat storage model. With the exception of constraints (11.3)—(11.5), all the constraints are linear. Constraints (11.3)—(11.5) entail nonconvex bilinear terms which render the overall model a nonconvex MINLP. However, the type of bilinearity exhibited by these constraints can be readily removed without compromising the accuracy of the model using the so called Glover transformation, which has been used extensively in the foregoing chapters of this book. This is demonstrated underneath using constraints (11.3).

Polychlorinated biphenylenes (PCPs), because of their structure, are expected to be as toxic as the correspondingly substituted PCDDs. According to Poland and Glover 1911), 2,3,6,7 tetrachlorobiphenylene is approximately as potent as 2,3,7,8-TCDD. PCPs have been found to result from the reductive conditions which occur in the early stages of askarel transformer fires and are therefore compounds of concern (Smith...
