The efficiency of using sequential quadratic programming (SQP) for the optimization of a PRICO process for the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is demonstrated. Most of the returned objective values have been better, and the execution times much lower, than in most previously published work on similar optimization cases. The optimization runs discussed in this paper require around 5 minutes of execution time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
