Optimization
is
the act of achieving the
best possible
result
under given circumstances.
Primary objective may not
be optimize
absolutely but to compromise effectively &thereby produce
the best formulation
under a
given set of
restrictions.Comprises Optimization Procedure, Methods of optimization, identifying objective and continuous functions, analyzing constrained and unconstrained limit values, employing numerical methods to solve the optimization problems and finally applications of optimization technique to solve chemical engineering problems.
