Review of the P-graph Framework and its Applications

Abstract The P-graph framework was originally developed for solving Process Network Synthesis (PNS) problems in chemical plant design. Using axioms-based combinatorial tools, it reduces the optimization search space by orders of magnitude compared with direct superstructure optim...

Decarbonization pathways for the dust-proof nets industry

Plastic dust-proof nets (DPNs) are widely used for mitigating construction fugitive dust to safeguard urban air quality. However, the DPN life cycle entails energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from production and plastic pollution from end-of-life disposal. This...
