A NONLINEAR PROGRAMMING MODEL FOR THE OPTIMIZATION OF ALTERNATIVE LIQUID FUELS
This paper describes the application of a large-scale nonlinear optimization code to the analysis of alternative liquid fuel supplies. The particular case of New South Wales is studied. Results are presented on the effects of changes in permissible lead levels and octane specification on the marginal price of petroleum products and the total stream-day cost of production.
