Presently, general-purpose optimization techniques such as Simulated Annealing, and Genetic Algorithms, have become standard optimization techniques. Concerted research efforts have been made recently in order to invent novel optimization techniques for solving real life problems, which have the attributes of memory update and population-based search solutions. The book describes a variety of these novel optimization techniques which in most cases outperform the standard optimization techniques in many application areas. New Optimization Techniques in Engineering reports applications and results of the novel optimization techniques considering a multitude of practical problems in the different engineering disciplines ? presenting both the background of the subject area and the techniques for solving the problems.

This book adopts a generalized approach to modelling various engineering systems in such a way that the underlying principles can be applied to any new system. There is exhaustive coverage of all topics related to plant simulation; it covers process modelling, analysis, simulation, as well as optimization. A section is devoted to non-traditional optimization techniques, which would be useful not only for students, but also for researchers, professionals, consultants, and industrialists. Babu discusses case studies on specific-purpose simulation and dynamic simulation, and also includes an overview of professional software packages used in plant simulation like HYSIS.
