These operations are common to the chemical processing and petroleum sectors where limited tankage may be available, or when it is necessary to transport materials by train, truck, or pipeline to remote blending terminals. Similar applications arise in agriculture, food, mining, wastewater treatment, and other industries.\n", "\n", - "This notebook considers a simple example of a wholesale milk distributor to show how **non-convexity** arises in the optimization of pooling and blending operations. Non-convexity is due to presence of **bilinear** terms that are the product of two decision variables where one is a scale-dependent **extensive** quantity measuring the amount or flow of a product, and the other is scale-independent **intensive** quantity such as product composition. The notebook then shows how to develop and solve a convex approximation of the problem, and finally demonstrates solution the use of `ipotp`, a solver specifically designed to find global solutions to nonlinear optimization (NLO) problems." + "This notebook considers a simple example of a wholesale milk distributor to show how **non-convexity** arises in the optimization of pooling and blending operations.
