  abstractNote={<jats:p>Simulated Annealing is used to optimize the solvent selection and
                        recycling conditions for a carbon dioxide absorber in a pulverized coal
                        power plant. The project uses Aspen Plus V7.1 to model a pulverized coal
                        power plant and the carbon capture system. Simulated Annealing is introduced
                        via the CAPE OPEN feature in Aspen Plus to find the best combination to
                        absorb the most carbon dioxide while using the least amount of power for
                        carbon absorption. With this optimal configuration, retrofitting carbon
                        absorption into current power plants will cause a smaller drop in efficiency
                        than that of the current practice. This project will lead to improved
                        sustainability for fossil fuel power plants, by reducing the amount of
                        emissions from fossil fuel power plants without a significant reduction in
                        efficiency.</jats:p>},
