AbstractThe highly exothermic nature of the low-density polyethylene (LDPE) polymerization process and the heating-cooling prerequisite in tubular reactor can lead to various problems particularly safety and economic. These issues complicate the monomer conversion maximization approaches. Consequently, the dynamic optimization study to obtain maximum conversion of the LDPE is carried out. A mathematical model has been developed and validated using industrial data. In the dynamic optimization study, maximum monomer conversion (XM) is considered as the objective function, whereas the constraint and bound consists of maximum reaction temperature and product melt flow index (MFI). The orthogonal collocation (OC) on finite elements is used to convert the original optimization problems into Nonlinear Programming (NLP) problems, which are then solved using sequential quadratic program (SQP) methods. The result shows that five interval numbers produce better optimization result compared to one and two intervals.

Abstract When the vorticity is monotone with depth, we present a variational formulation for steady periodic water waves of the equatorial flow in the f-plane approximation, and show that the governing equations for this motion can be obtained by studying variations of a suitable energy functional 𝓗 in terms of the stream function and the thermocline. We also compute the second variation of the constrained energy functional, which is related to the linear stability of steady water waves.
