Maximum Allowable Volume Percent Yields Product Rate Crude #1 Crude #2 (Bbl/day)

The document describes a refinery that has two available crude oils with different yields of gasoline, kerosene, and fuel oil. The refinery has maximum production limits for these products. The profit per barrel of crude oil #1 is $1.00 and $0.70 for crude #2. The task is to determine the optimal daily feed rates of the two crudes to maximize profit within the refinery's constraints.

A refinery has available two crude oils that have the yields shown in the following table.

Because of equipment and storage limitations, production of gasoline, kerosene, and fuel
oil must be limited as also shown in this table. There are no plant limitations on the
production of other products such as gas oils. The profit on processing crude #1 is $1.00/bbl
and on crude #2 it is $0.70/bbl. Find the optimum daily feed rates of the two crudes to this
plant.
