Problem solution strategy

Look for an essay that uses the analysis/classification, comparison and contrast, order of importance, or problem solution strategy. Work backward from the text to create an outline that delineates the organizing structure. 

Assuming phase equilibrium conditions, a problem solution strategy may be used... 

Whereas individual rules are relatively simple, their logical relations and interactions within a large set of rules are usually not straightforward. Complex rule-based systems make it difficult to understand how individual rules contribute to the overall problem solution strategy. 

The Spittelwasser example (see Section 8.3.2) indicated that, unlike problems related to conventional polluted sites, the hazards here are primarily connected with the transport and deposition of contaminated solids in a catchment area, especially in downstream regions. Any problem solution strategy for such sites, therefore, has to consider both the chemical stabilization - for example, by processes of (enhanced) natural attenuation - and an increase in mechanical stability (reduced erodibility).

In this paper an industrial semibatch polymerisation process is considered. In order to guarantee the product quality particularly controlled reaction conditions are necessary. The general aim of this work is to ascertain optimal state and control profiles and to develop a model-based control scheme. As a first step, this paper introduces the dynamic model, which is validated with experimental data, and describes the optimisation approach. An aim of the work is to assess the possibilities of the commercial flowsheet simulator CHEMCAD in the optimisation of the performance of semibatch polymerisation processes. Finally the formulation of the mathematical optimisation problem, solution strategies and their implementation in CHEMCAD are discussed. 

Pohution prevention techniques must be evaluated through a thorough consideration of ah media, hence the term multimedia. This approach is a clear departure from previous pollution treatment or control techniques where it was acceptable to transfer a pollutant from one source to another in order to solve a waste problem. Such strategies merely provide short-term solutions to an ever increasing problem. As an example, air pollution control equipment prevents or reduces the discharge of waste into the air but at the same time can produce a solid (hazardous) waste problem. 

This is where mentoring comes in. Its powerful methodology picks up where the other solutions fail. Its dialogues will support your employees both by providing a cathartic element and by helping mentees to define their (change) problems and to develop solution strategies. 

The strategies discussed in the previous chapter are generally applicable to convection-diffusion equations such as Eq. (32). If the function O is a component of the velocity field, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation, a non-linear partial differential equation, is obtained. This stands in contrast to O representing a temperature or concentration field. In these cases the velocity field is assumed as given, and only a linear partial differential equation has to be solved. The non-linear nature of the Navier-Stokes equation introduces some additional problems, for which special solution strategies exist. Corresponding numerical techniques are the subject of this section. 

A broad class of optimization strategies does not require derivative information. These methods have the advantage of easy implementation and little prior knowledge of the optimization problem. In particular, such methods are well suited for quick and dirty optimization studies that explore the scope of optimization for new problems, prior to investing effort for more sophisticated modeling and solution strategies. Most of these methods are derived from heuristics that naturally spawn numerous variations. As a result, a very broad literature describes these methods. Here we discuss only a few important trends in this area. 

It fix) and g(x) are nonconvex, additional difficulties can occur. In this case, nonunique, local solutions can be obtained at intermediate nodes, and consequently lower bounding properties would be lost. In addition, the nonconvexity in g(x) can lead to locally infeasible problems at intermediate nodes, even if feasible solutions can be found in the corresponding leaf node. To overcome problems with nonconvexities, global solutions to relaxed NLPs can be solved at the intermediate nodes. This preserves the lower bounding information and allows nonlinear branch and bound to inherit the convergence properties from the linear case. However, as noted above, this leads to much more expensive solution strategies. 

In this case, the flow rate is to be determined when a given fluid is transported in a given pipe with a known net driving force (e.g., pump head, pressure head, and/or hydrostatic head). The same total variables are involved, and hence the dimensionless variables are the same and are related in the same way as for the unknown driving force problems. The main difference is that now the unknown (Q) appears in two of the dimensionless variables (/ and 7VRe), which requires a different solution strategy. 

Despite advances in MILP solution methods, problem size is still a major issue since scheduling problems are known to be NP-hard (i.e., exponential increase of computation time with size in worst case). While effective modeling can help to overcome to some extent the issue of computational efficiency, special solution strategies such as decomposition and aggregation are needed in order to address the ever increasing sizes of real-world problems. 

This problem can be solved using a combined optimization and constraint model solution strategy (Muske and Edgar, 1998) by converting the differential equations to algebraic constraints using orthogonal collocation or some other model discretization approach. 

The classic methods use an ODE solver in combination with an optimization algorithm and solve the problem sequentially. This solution strategy is referred to as a sequential solution and optimization approach, since for each iteration the optimization variables are set and then the differential equation constraints are integrated. Though straightforward, this approach is generally inefficient because it requires the accurate solution of the model equations at each iteration within the optimization, even when iterates are far from the final optimal solution. 

The simultaneous solution strategy offers several advantages over the sequential approach. A wide range of constraints may be easily incorporated and the solution of the optimization problem provides useful sensitivity information at little additional cost. On the other hand, the sequential approach is straightforward to implement and also has the advantage of well-developed error control. Error control for numerical integrators (used in the sequential approach) is relatively mature when compared, for example, to that of orthogonal collocation on finite elements (a possible technique for a simultaneous approach).

This lesson describes four more organizational strategies for essays analysis/classification, order of importance, comparison and contrast, and problem solution. 

Analysis, order of importance, comparison and contrast, and problem —> solution are four more strategies to help organize your ideas. One strategy can serve as an overall organizing principle, while others may help you organize individual paragraphs and sections of your essay.
