Masters thesis:TU Hamburg
Optimization of liquid-liquid extraction processes considering fluid dynamics. • Expanded the rigorous equilibrium-based optimization model for a hybrid extraction-distillation process by incorporating fluid dynamics. • Process improvement and optimization, added an additional design degree of freedom as temperature. • Total annualized cost reduction by 20%, energy demand reduction by 10%. • Data analysis using various statistical tools in MATLAB like, corrected akaike information criteria (AICc).
