Determination of the optimal packing configuration of a catalytic fixed-bed reactor using geometry and multi-objective optimization methods

This paper deals with the development of a geometry optimization approach to determine the optimal shape of a fixed-bed reactor where a catalytic surface reaction takes place. The investigated problem is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem considering two antagonistic objectives: th...
