This paper develops an improved harmony search (IHS) algorithm for the estimation of optimal length of reactor for different top temperatures with the constraints of energy and mass balance of reaction and feed gas temperature and mass flow rate of nitrogen for ammonia production. Thousands of combinations of feed gas temperature, nitrogen mass flow rate, reacting gas temperature and reactor length are possible. The new results obtained for an optimal reactor length and a top temperature are presented and compared to HS and other heuristic or deterministic methods. The results reveal that the proposed algorithm can find better solutions.
