Large-grained parallelism in equation-based flowsheeting using interval Newton/generalized bisection techniques

The overall objective of this work has been to apply high-performance, parallel computers to equation-based chemical process flowsheeting. The primary focus was on investigating parallel techniques for improving the reliability of equation-based flowsheeting, and the secondary goal was to examine the effects of parallel function evaluation on the performance of traditional, Newton-like solvers.
