Comprehensive graduate-level textbook and reference for mathematical optimisation applied to chemical engineering processes. Three-part structure: Part I covers problem formulation (model development, objective function construction); Part II covers optimisation theory and methods (LP, NLP, MINLP, global optimisation); Part III covers applications to heat transfer, separation processes, fluid flow, chemical reactor design, large-scale plant design, and process control. Specialises in nonlinear programming, mixed-integer programming, and global optimisation, with guidance on modern optimisation software, including Excel Solver and GRG.
