Minimising the total holding time was taken as the intermediate objective function whereas minimising the total capital investment was assumed to be the main objective function.engOptimal design on an economic basis for continuous stirred tank reactors in series using michaelis-menten kinetics for ping-pong reactionsjournal article10.1002/cjce.54506601270023725090A1988M595500027
