Tutorial (8), Simulation, LP Functions

The document discusses using MATLAB optimization functions to solve 5 optimization problems: 1) Graphically solving a linear program 2) Optimizing the production of various oil products from two types of crude oil with constraints on market demand and production costs 3) Optimizing the assignment of 4 new reactors to 4 spaces to minimize total installation cost 4) Determining the optimal allocation of transporting naphtha between 5 suppliers and 3 refineries to meet demand while minimizing transportation costs

Tutorial (8) MATLAB Optimization Functions


Solve the following problems using appropriate MATLAB
built-in functions
1. Solve the following linear program graphically

2. Two types of crude oil (Crude A and Crude B) are to be processed in a


refinery. The product distribution from the refinery is quite different for the two
crudes as shown below.
The limitations on the market demand for the various products in terms of the
maximum allowed daily production is shown below. In addition, processing
cost is also given in the table below.

(a) Formulate an objective function for the refinery management


(b) Formulate the constraints for the refinery operation
(c) Solve the problem to find the optimum production rate of each product
Volume percent Maximum allowable production

Gasoline 80 44 24,000
Kerosene 5 10 2,000
Fuel Oil 10 36 6,000

4. (Reactor assignment to places in a plant)


Four new reactors (R1, R2, R3, and R4) are to be installed in a plant. There are
four vacant spaces. The following table shows the cost of assigning reactor i to
space j.

Assign the reactors to spaces so as to minimize total cost using integer


linear programming formulation.

Assignment Costs ($MM)


Space 1 Space 2 Space 3 Space 4
R1 10 11 11 16
Reactor R2 14 10 13 18
R3 13 14 9 13
R4 19 15 13 18
5. Three refineries are located in towns A, B, and C. Naphtha can be supplied
to the refineries from five different production facilities located at locations
1,2,3,4, and 5. The tables below show the daily naphtha requirements of the
refineries, the production capacities of the naphtha suppliers, and the
transportation costs.

Determine the optimal allocation of the transportation of naphtha between


suppliers and refineries while meeting the constraint requirements.
