Tackle challenging optimization problems with MATLAB software

Optimization techniques are used to measure the minimum or maximum value of a given function depending on circumstances and key factors. Engineering processes pertaining to design or manufacture involve optimization techniques at every stage, designed to minimize resource expenditure and maximize outcomes. Optimization problems are difficult and computationally intensive, but the increasingly widely-used MATLAB platform offers numerous tools by which engineers can tackle these essential elements of process and industrial design.

Chemical Engineering Analysis and Optimization Using MATLAB offers an introduction to the cutting-edge, highly in-demand skills of computer-aided design and optimization. With a focus on chemical engineering analysis, the book uses the MATLAB platform to develop reader skills in programming, modeling, and more. It provides an overview of some of the most essential tools in modern engineering design.
