Abstract

Chemical reaction system, dynamic operation can significantly increase the average rate of reaction, improve the time-average selectivity of complex reactions and enhance the molecular weight distribution of certain free-radical polymerization reactions, overcome the thermodynamic limitations of reversible reactions. It even can be used as integrated means of exothermic/endothermic reaction and catalytic reaction/catalyst regeneration, opens up new ways to strengthen and control the reaction process, reduce waste emissions, and increase economic and social benefits. Therefore, it has great significance to model, simulate and calculate the process of chemical reaction. In this paper, a cooperative firefly algorithm is proposed to solve the optimal dynamic model of chemical reaction. The characteristics of the proposed algorithm are analyzed in detailed and the simulation results of the algorithm are given. It provides a feasible solution to solve such problems and the simulation results also show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
