Minimum reflux calculation for multicomponent distillation in multi-feed, multi-product columns: Algorithms and examples [PDF]
arXivIn this work, we present the first algorithm for identifying the minimum reboiler vapor duty requirement for a general multi-feed, multi-product (MFMP) distillation column separating ideal multicomponent mixtures. This algorithm incorporates our latest advancement in developing the first shortcut model for MFMP columns.

Pareto-optimal treatment of uncertainties in model-based process design and operation [PDF]
arXivModel-based process design and operation involves here-and-now and wait-and-see decisions. Here-and-now decisions include design variables like the size of heat exchangers or the height of distillation columns, whereas wait-and-see decisions are directed towards operational variables like reflux and split ratios.

U-net based prediction of cerebrospinal fluid distribution and ventricular reflux grading [PDF]
arXivPrevious work indicates evidence that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plays a crucial role in brain waste clearance processes, and that altered flow patterns are associated with various diseases of the central nervous system. In this study, we investigate the potential of deep learning to predict the distribution in human brain of a gadolinium-based CSF ...
