Reactor Configuration from Optimization of a Superstructure

In adding a greater number of options to the superstructure, care should be taken to ensure that the complexity 

When optimizing a superstructure for a multiphase reaction, the rate of mass transfer must be specified. This will, to a large extent, be determined by the design of the equipment. Yet, the objective of the superstructure 

Nonisothermal reactors. Nonisothermal operation brings additional complexity to the superstructure approach1112. In the first instance, the optimum temperature 

As with isothermal reactor design, the optimization of superstructures for nonisothermal reactors can be carried out reliably, using simulated annealing. 

Example 7.3 Monochlorinated carboxylic acids are important intermediates for the chemical industry in the production of
