    Nonlinear constrained optimizer and parallel processing for golden block line search

    Full text link
    Generalized exponential penalty functions are constructed for the multiplier methods in solving nonlinear programming problems. The non-smooth extreme constraint Gext is replaced by a single smooth constraint Gs by using the generalized exponential function (base a>1). The well-known K.S. function is found to be a special case of our proposed formulation. Parallel processing for Golden block line search algorithm is then summarized, which can also be integrated into our formulation. Both small and large-scale nonlinear programming problems (up to 2000 variables and 2000 nonlinear constraints) have been solved to validate the proposed algorithms

    An Integrated Fouling Monitoring Technique for a Water Treatment Microfiltration Process

    Full text link
    An integrated, online fouling monitoring technique that provides dynamic and real-time information of membrane fouling during a water treatment membrane process was developed. This technique has preliminarily been demonstrated for monitoring particulate fouling in a water treatment microfiltration process using a single photo sensor. The results of the online dynamic analysis suggest that this technique provides in situ measurement of fouling layer thickness, dynamic analysis of the fouling layer structure, and monitoring of water quality during the membrane filtration process
