SI-M/O: Swarm Intelligence-based Modeling and Optimization of complex synthesis reaction processes

“…In their work, PSO searched the parameters in the first-principle models describing the rates of ethylene consumption. PSO and improved PSO were also used in process optimization to obtain optimal process operations (Fang et al, 2022;Liang et al, 2022). Besides PSO, the applications of other SI algorithms in chemical engineering have also become increasingly common.…”
