Model-Based Control of Logistics Processes in Volatile Environments

This book is the proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Autonomous Remanufacturing (IWAR 2024) and contains contributions from innovators in autonomous remanufacturing to strengthen the body of knowledge on design, modelling and control of remanufacturing processes and systems. Remanufacturing has been identified as having significant financial and environment benefits; however, critical challenges still remain in designing and operating remanufacturing processes and systems. These challenges are complex, spanning all product life cycles and encompassing multiple disciplines within and outside of engineering. In particular, the book showcases the work of experts on reverse logistics optimization, designing products for disassembly, and advancements in remanufacturing automation. These topics are currently at the forefront of discussions among leading industries and researchers.

This book provides a comprehensive and detailed description of the various mechanisms of the CCS-EOR process. Whereas previous texts have primarily focused on carbon capture and storage (CCS) and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) separately, this book provides a general overview of both technologies when used together. Coupled CCS-EOR technology has become increasingly important, as it overcomes the respective shortcomings of the two technologies.The book presents an integrated numerical model including the hysteresis effect, solubility trapping, miscibility, and formation damage by asphaltene deposition. The experimental and model-based evaluation of fluid properties is also discussed. The book concludes by discussing the latest research into CO2 storage coupled with EOR, most notably performance control by including additives in CO2 injection, and CO2 injection into shale reservoirs.Ideally suited for graduate students and researchers in the fields of carbon capture, utilisation, and stora
