Question

Please Use Excel!

You are hired as a consulting engineer to a small chemical plant. You need to determine how many gallons of fluids A, B, C and D should be produced each day to maximize the profit. Fractional gallons to 1 decimal place are acceptable. The quantity of each product cannot exceed the maximum possible dailt storage of each product. The fluids are produced from a raw oil which has a daily availability of 350 gallons. The fluids must be processed in three separate departments. Each department has a maximum number of hours available. The following tables summarize the data to produce 1 gallon of fluid for each department.

Homework 9 Problem 6 You are hired as a consulting engineer to a small chemical plant. You need to determine how many gallons of fluids A, B, C and D should be produced each day to maximize the profit. Fractional gallons to 1 decimal place are acceptable. The quantity of each product cannot exceed the maximum possible dailt storage of each product. The fluids are produced from a raw oil which has a daily availability of 350 gallons. The fluids must be processed in three separate departments. Each department has a maximum number of hours available. The following tables summarize the data to produce 1 gallon of fluid for each department.

Explanation / Answer

the optimization says put 192.3 gallons of Fluid D and rest all 0.

LPP

1. variable - optimal quantity of al lthe fluid types - A, B, C, D

constraints

1. Dep1 hours = A + 0.7B + 1.1C + 1.3D <= 250

2. Dep2 hours = 1.25A + 1B + 0.75C + 1.1D <= 225

3. Dep3 hours = 0.75A + 1.1B + C + 1.2D <= 250

4. A <= 50, B <= 90, C <= 80, D <= 75 (storage constraint)

5. 1.3A+1.2B+1.35C+1.42D <= 350 (raw oil constraint)

Objective

Maximize the profit = 0.65A + 0.75B + 0.85C + 1.5D
