Multiobjective intelligence optimal operation of PET polymerization

Abstract

A multiobjective intelligence optimal approach in polymerizing of PET with maximum yield and the best quality is proposed. The hybrid neural network based on B-spline and diagonal recursive neural network is used to model the PET process qualities, i.e. the Intrinsic Viscosity and Molecular Weight distribution. Then a hybrid NSGAII-PSO optimal algorithm with penalty functions is applied to solve the multiobjective optimal problem in order to get the best operation conditions. The simulation result indicates that the hybrid network model and model-based multiobjective optimal algorithm are effective.
