Unlike previous case, three decision variables (Ph, Pl, and tp) are at their bounds at the optimum, while the bounds of ta, and ua are not active. Purities and recoveries of the components obtained after final trust-region iteration in AMPL, are quite close to the ones obtained from MATLAB simulation of the rigorous model at the optimum. We also perform perturbation-based analysis, as done in the previous case, in order to ensure if the algorithm converged at an optimal point. Giving a positive perturbation to Ph at its upper bound and negative perturbation to tp at its lower bound improves both CO2 purity and recovery, while a negative perturbation for Pl at its lower bound improves recovery but we lose feasibility. Moreover, perturbing ta and ua in both directions leads to a dichotomous behavior of either improvement in CO2 recovery with loss in its purity, or vice-versa. Therefore, we conclude that the termination point is optimal. To complete the analysis and to ensure ROM is predicting physically correct dynamic behavior of the system, we also compare gas-phase CO2 mole fraction profiles at the optimum, Because of 92 trust-region iterations, Chapter 7.
