Optimization is essential for reducing material and energy requirements as well as the harmful environmental impact of chemical processes. It leads to better design and operation of chemical processes as well as to sustainable processes. Many applications of optimization involve several objectives, some of which are conflicting. Multi-objective optimization (MOO) is required to solve the resulting problems in these applications. Hence MOO has attracted the attention of several researchers, particularly in the last ten years.
The book will be useful to researchers in academic and research institutions, to engineers and managers in process industries, and to graduates and senior-level undergraduates. Researchers and engineers can use it for applying MOO to their processes whereas students can utilize it as a supplementary text in optimization courses. Each of the chapters in the book can be read and understood with little reference to other chapters. However, readers are encouraged to go through the introduction chapter first. Many chapters contain several exercises at the end, which can be used for assignments and projects. Some of these and the applications discussed within the chapters can be used as projects in optimization courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
