Exam 2 Preparation Guidelines February 24‚ 2013 Exam 2 is scheduled for Tuesday 3/5. Coverage will include material identified on the syllabus through 2/28. The exam will be comprised of two parts: (1) multiple choice questions (and possibly a few true/false)‚ (2) short answers. The weight between parts I and II will likely be in the neighborhood of 50-50. I’m guessing that 80% or more of the exam points will based on content since exam 1 (i.e.‚ content in chapters 8‚ 10‚ and 11). The exam is closed

Then‚ by the 60’s computers advanced quit a bit. Linear programming models were being solved by linear programming introduced by the refiner engineers. A process optimization program for nonlinear optimization that solved nonlinear programming problems was developed by IBM‚ called POP II. Then‚ immediately after‚ the GOP blending optimization system was developed that used the POP II system. In the 1980’s it was found that the GOP system was not being used by all the refineries routinely and many
