Nonsmooth Distillation Models Robust to Convergence Errors: Numerical Methods and Topological Aspects

Distillation is the most widely used (yet highly energy-intensive) industrial separation method and one of the most well-studied chemical engineering processes. However, engineers still often encounter distillation simulation errors while using state-of-the-art process software such as Aspen Plus an...
